She took out a wrap top and a pair of straight jeans to wear for the first day in college.
" Hey, doctoring...I'm coming to crush you and save lives"

KLEF UNIVERSITY
In front of the university, stood shy and scared Emilia contemplating her identity" It's go time!! "
Before her class started, she had arrived early. Gosh, were these faces so not intimidating?
She saw an empty seat and went to sit on it.
" This shouldn't be that hard, seat...check...lectures, up next," She said accompanied by hand gestures.
Out of the blue, a husky voice shouted, " Are you deaf? Who are you talking to with those sign languages? "
Emilia's hands balled into a fist. Why did he have to mention the word ' sign language ' just like that? She glanced at her necklace and cooled down a bit.
" Oh...I forgot she's deaf..hey!! " He laughed and stood in front of her showing her some wrong sign language.
" Those are wrong. Very very wrong. I'm not deaf little one and why the hell would you assume anyone learning sign language is deaf? That was not even sign language, I learned it and that shows my concern for humanity." She said gently.
" What do you know? I know every language in the world...
" And sign languages" she retaliated, nodding her head.
The boy's eyes roamed left and right looking for the right answers when someone screamed, " Andres.. will you just mind your business "
Andres adjusted himself and Emilia could see the girl clearly, It was Valarie.
It took a while before Valarie noticed her and just then she smiled, " Ma'am...you ..were at the hotel "
Emilia nodded in agreement and gazed at her with her mouth agape at the girl before her eyes. Wasn't she the one that attended to her in the hotel?
" Really? How? Don't tell me you're in this class!!" Emilia voiced out, perplexed.

DE SANTIS MANSION
Antonio De Santis, in his armchair, sitting in his study room, a steaming cup of coffee in his hand wearing a turtleneck sweater and black trousers.
His blue eyes were fixed on the pages of the book he was reading, as he immersed himself in the captivating book.
His silky dark hair, long enough to be tied into a bun, fell casually over his forehead giving him an effortlessly charming look.
Out of the blue, someone barged into the room screaming, " My project!! "
Antonio was adjusting himself in the armchair when his younger sister, Pippa came barging in.
She entered the room, her red hair cascading down her shoulders, her glowing face matching the brown jumpsuit she wore.
Even though her brother exudes a very dangerous aura, she still plays with him.
" My ... .project!!, You know this is my study room. You should read books in your study room at your own house " She screamed yet he still ignored her.
Pippa noticed his indifference to her shouting, went over to him, and checked the title of the book.
" Mary gets married to Kyle... The devil later possessed Mary, her child died of cancer and her Mom sold herself to the devil.." Pippa said with a mischievous smirk.
This was the only way to startle her brother and spoil his love for literature by ruining his curiosity.
And it worked, partially. He took another book and sat comfortably to get himself absorbed in the book.
" Bet you won't know this. This is a sci-fi novel...." He muttered.
" Ryan didn't go back to his planet..it was an illusion planted by...
"OK. Stop, what do you want? Don't beat around my anger... " He stood up, his brows furrowing.
" Sorry, I just wanted my pro..." She didn't finish her statement when her gaze caught a book. It was under the table, so she took it smiling sheepishly.
" Is that your project? " Antonio asked, curiously.
" Of course, it's not, my project is at school, and a boy is helping me make one. This book just contains the list of things I'll do to her if she doesn't do it..."
" Really... Why does number one, go to the hotel with him? You know I have my eyes on you, no dicks for now " He boldly said, poking her forehead.
" Oh my god. You fucking read it, you're such a poke nose " she groaned and a smile ran across his lips.
Pippa turned around to leave and mouthed, " Yes..he smiled "
She was almost at the door when she remembered something, " Antonio, this is 8: 30, keep the dream flying "

BACK TO KLEF UNIVERSITY
" So you mean, you're studying Business administration while working at the hotel? " Emilia asked.
Valarie nodded, " Yeah. I just came to check up on somebody. I'm not in this league, I hate the sight of blood "
" Aha!! It's so nice to meet you by the way...I'm Emilia " She smiled.
" Oh...
Valarie was being interrupted by the sudden indistinct chatters of the students in the class.
" What is happening? " Emilia asked, perplexed.
Suddenly, they saw someone pass by their window. It was a tall guy in a duster coat with long dark hair and blue eyes.
The rest of his qualities weren't visible again because some girls occupied the spaces in front of the window. They were drooling over him.
" Antonio!!" Valarie said in a low tone but loud enough for Emilia to hear.
Out of a sudden, Valarie stood up saying, " I have to go quickly...Nice meeting you "
She ran outside the class.
Emilia was perplexed by this act but decided to ignore all these shenanigans since her main purpose here was to fulfill her dream.
" Students settle down... The lecture is beginning"

KLEF HOSTEL HALLWAY
5 PM
Emilia reached the entrance of the hostel and raised her head, she saw a sign which read, " Boys feat girls hostel"
" What a joke!! " She scoffed, dragging her suitcase.
Emilia walked lazily in the hallway, her eyes were aching from staring too much, her hands were aching from writing and also her butt was aching from sitting too long.
" I didn't know college was this hard. My body hurts. Anatomy isn't the same anatomy that I know "
She had earlier called her mom and told her how her day was,'' horrible!!" She said She asked her mom who was going to fix her in a hostel, it was the hostel warden. Technically, the hostel warden told her she was going to have a roommate.
Her mom had agreed for her to have a roommate because she didn't want her baby to be all alone.
" Roommate...why would mom give me a roommate? They are the worst...."
She reached her room number and turned in the card the hostel warden gave her for clarification, Room 100.
She brought out the key and inserted it in the keyhole.
" Oh.. the start of a new...
" What the fuck do you want? " A hoarse voice screamed.
" Ah"
