Chapter 2 MEETING (2)

An 18-year-old girl always closes herself to the memory of old friends, old lovers, and psychological trauma, which has made that soul close its heart and is not welcome for new friendships, or new relationships. A new feeling, 'so stubborn and unruly', those are the comments of people around me and myself, I feel the same way. Maybe that's why I'm more and more alienated day by day and I even realize that I'm COLD.

A semester has passed, and I can't talk to anyone but the other two girls. Until I got grades and semester grades, it was unbelievable that I was ranked first in my class and first in the whole department in terms of specialized knowledge, third in the school in terms of cumulative points, that's what attracted me, because The most prestigious university in the country that I am studying at is only full of delicate people, with extremely high IQs or huge families who use the money to buy knowledge, in other words, this is a battleground. fierce competition for the top spot, because they are so used to the attention and flattery, and because their popularity helps them assert their position and power even more. People started to like and approach me, and start a lot of conversations with me. That made me feel uncomfortable. I'm not an honorable lady, nor a tycoon's son, I'm just an ordinary family girl who uses her efforts to enter school, wishing to have a beautiful life, without suffering. , not to be trampled on in a powerful society.

"Hey, my name is Nha Loc, let's get to know each other."

"Hey Thu, we've been studying for a long time, but it seems that she is very quiet, tell me a little bit about her."

"Thu Thu, looking at you coldly, I don't dare to talk to you". I struggled to answer every one, suddenly the homeroom teacher returned to the class to find me, making me happy because I was free from that artificial siege.

"Thu, I will go to the principal's room for a moment."

"Yes, I'll be right up."

I followed the teacher to the principal's room, but my heart was full of concern, but being a man of few words, I didn't ask him what was wrong but just followed. When I get there, I'll know it sooner or later, it's okay to know a little later. Arriving in front of the room door, I adjusted my clothes, gently knocked on the door, and entered.

"Hello, teacher," I politely greeted the principal.

"I'm here, let's get to know each other."

He pointed to two friends sitting across from me on the sofa, an excellent, handsome male student, and a pure, innocent female student. They were as beautiful as a pair of mermaids, and of course, I recognized them.

"This is Luc Duong, a student in business administration class 1, he is the valedictorian this year of our school, also a typical student who has just reached the top 1 of the whole department, and the whole school. And this is Duong My Thien Kim who is a student in business administration class 1 and ranked in the top 2 in the last exam."

The principal said while pointing at those two friends, somehow he pointed at me: "And this is Trinh An Thu, a student of public relations class 1 who ranked in the top 3 in the exam. Let's get to know each other."

When the teacher just finished the introduction, I caught a glimpse of a faint smile on Duong's lips, along with Thien Kim's eyes full of amusement and mocking smile, I didn't understand their expressions, it was just that. I feel a little bit dissatisfied with that attitude. But regardless of them, I didn't glance or care. After we finished our eye contact, the teacher continued: "Perhaps you have heard of the debate contest between students of domestic universities, and our school officially recruits and trains university students. represent the school to compete, you guys should try hard to practice and review well, the three of you will be a team to train together, and will compete with each other to choose the two you continue to compete with other teams in the school to find the two best students to represent, this is a division based on random naming, do you have any questions?"

"No, sir," Duong and Thien Kim said in unison. Then everyone turned to look at me, I just shook my head slightly and looked at him. My heart lamented 'I didn't like each other so why do I keep getting attached to this Luc Duong name, where did I come out today and add this hateful Thien Kim'

"Okay, go back to class, wait for the teachers to arrange the class properly."

Then the three of us greeted him and left the room. I was about to turn back to the classroom, but I was suddenly stopped by the beautiful girl's flirtatious words.

"Depressive bastards like you, being so mean, don't you deserve to stand next to me."

Duong My Thien Kim, the first hot girl at National University, although only in her first year, her fame and influence are second to none, because of her beautiful appearance and huge backing. As the lady of a noble and prestigious business family in Vietnam, with roots in the US, the girl has a hybrid beauty of two Vietnamese - American bloodlines, pink and white skin, long shiny brown hair, beautiful body. Balanced figure and harmonious facial features, the most special and shining thing on that face are the clear blue eyes, innocent like an angel, but the words come out like a thorny witch. Along with the perfect beauty outside, Thien Kim is also a multi-talented tree of art, holding an exam, all of them are talented, symbolizing the family woman in the 90s. That makes The girls around, though beautiful, had to take their hats off and give up the beauty throne for Thien Kim. But I don't know the reason why she holds a grudge against me, or if that's the nature of the great lady. If it's just normal teasing, with a carefree personality, I wouldn't even respond to her. But the thing I hate the most is looking down on others, relying on high above all the time to see others on the ground, that's why I refused to leave quietly, but turned around, bossy like her own attitude now hours.

"Hey, you, Thien Kim, you're still not good enough for me to talk, why do you have to be so fierce and so low-key?" Although I rarely speak, when I open my mouth, my words are extremely damaging and especially easy to make others angry.

"You, you dare say that to me", Thien Kim's face was so angry that his cheeks turned red.

"Not worth it" I didn't care, smiled at the two of them, then turned around and left. After walking a few steps, a cold voice laughed, scared to death. Luc Duong had been just standing there listening to the conversation between me and Thien Kim, but he was very attentive. When that voice laughed, my heart suddenly felt a little scared. 'Why should I be afraid of him?', after all, why did I feel so strange at that moment, a little familiar, a little distant.
