Chapter 2 A New Semester Begins

Clang! The bell rang.

Thwack! The loud blare of the alarm clock roused Selina Qian from her deep sleep. With a grunt, she knocked it off of her side table.

"Damn it! It was that dream again. Why do I keep having such a strange dream? What is it about that boy? Honestly, this is getting out of hand! I'm my parents' perfect daughter. I'm as pure as freshly fallen snow. I would never think about a man in that way!" Selina Qian ran a hand through her long hair. She shook her head and rolled her eyes as covering herself with her blanket.

In just a few minutes, she was fast asleep.

At eighteen years of age, Selina Qian had never been on a single date. This was a fact she prided herself in. She was a beautiful woman with delicate facial features and long, black hair. Her bangs made her look more cute than sexy, although she could definitely pass as either one. When Selina Qian was in kindergarten, a little boy had tried to confess his love to her by giving her an orange. She did not know what to do, so she ran away. Since then, she had received around three or four love letters all the way up to junior high school, but all of the letters were hidden away by her overprotective brother, Zack Qian.

"Selina, today is the first day of the new semester! Why are you still sleeping? Get up and eat your breakfast. Your brother has been waiting for you downstairs for a long time. Hurry up! Remember to take your phone with you so that you can contact me and your father. Do you hear me?" Judy Song, Selina's mother, walked into her room.

"Okay, Mom... Just... One more minute..." Selina said, her eyes fluttering.

"Oh, no you don't! Do you even know what time it is? It would be a shame to be late on the first day of school!" Judy Song picked up the alarm clock and waved it in front of her daughter's face.

"Ah! It's already seven o'clock. School starts at eight! Mom!" Selina immediately jumped out of her bed and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up. In a couple of minutes, she was dressed and ready to go. She ran downstairs to the kitchen to meet Zack Qian but she discovered he had already gone on ahead of her.

"What a heartless guy!" Disappointed, Selina shook her head, grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. She grabbed her schoolbag in one hand and rushed out of the house with her suitcase in the other hand.

"Bye, Mom!" Selina yelled out. Today was her first day of school. She had studied so hard to be admitted to the MJN University. Being late was simply not an option.

"Don't run too fast. Be careful on the road! Listen carefully in class..." Judy's voice trailed off as she stared at Selina running towards school. She felt a pang of sentimentality in her heart and had to steady herself.

MJN University!

Selina ran all the way to the university and relaxed when she finally saw the gate. The gold-plated school name on the gate was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Suddenly, she heard the squeal of a car's brake and its tires screeching. She looked behind her and saw a sleek Porsche Cayenne pull up to the gate.

This school was truly for nobility. Through the car window, Selina could make out the face of the young man sitting in the driver's seat. His eyes were covered by a pair of black sunglasses and his ears sparkled with a pair of shiny studs. The young man saw her looking at him and he stared back, making Selina avoid his gaze in embarrassment.
