I stared up at the large cherry beige building before me, the windows reflected the sunlight, shining the light in my eyes, I took off my large glasses and rubbed my eyes in response because they began to sting. I bit my lower lip and began to fiddle with my bag handle as I walked up the stairs looking for a certain clump of blonde hair. I pulled out my phone as a notification alarm decided to go off, making me jump a bit.

"im otside 2 ur left." I stared at the text before me, spending a minute to understand then I looked to my left.

"Marian! Mari-Mari! I'm here!" A blonde girl said as she played with one of her low twin-tails.

I blushed and walked towards her trying to keep a face that looked remotely mad or at least a little annoyed.

"Natalie, I've told you not to call me that...or in public at least"

"Ugh, whatever Marian," she replied with an over exaggerated sigh, "let's go to class and then go to the apartment your dad got us, plus, those overalls are adorable! They make you look so young!"

I puffed my cheeks and rolled my eyes as I began to walk in the university.

"See, classes start in a bit and I accidentally-on-purpose took your schedule already and like, you have math first and your teacher is like cool I mean- you'll find out later, any way, class starts right about...now" I looked at her wide-eyed and mouth agape as she gave me my schedule sheet and began to strut away. At that point in time I was to shocked to think clearly and decided the I should run around blindly, not knowing where I should even go. Somehow I finally found my class as I saw a professor walk this way and I quickly ran in the class, sitting next to a very short girl with red glasses and short black hair.

A bead of sweat ran down my temple as my cheeks flushed a bright pink, running around makes you tired. I took out a mechanical pencil and a tiny notepad and began to draw random things that would pop into my mind. The teacher then stepped in and cleared his throat very loudly and he began.

"I have a few rules that I require you follow. Rule one, respect, respect me and I respect you. Rule two, the given grade is final and nothing you do can change it. And rule three, I don't like waiting for someone, so as long as you arrive before me, be it a millisecond or an hour, you're safe, a millisecond after I have stepped into the room and you're late. Is that clear? Good. Now you guys do whatever you want, nothing happens in the first day so treasure it, make friends, it'll help in the long run."

I turned to the girl beside me and muttered a shaky hello, blushing bright red hoping it was enough to grab her attention. She turned to me and gave me a sheepish smile.

"Oh, hello...I'm Chloe,...what's your name?" She said softly with her raspy voice.

"I'm Marian, I-it's nice to meet you Chloe," I tried to speak with all the confidence I could muster but my voice began to falter the more I spoke. I smiled at her noticing how awkward she felt and I quickly turned to my tiny note pad feeling a little stupid. See- I was never one to make friends and right now I'm hoping I can come out of my shell and actually make friends, but that doesn't happen apparently. After a while of drawing Chloe's voice piped up almost making me scream.

"Those drawings look like the ones Peter obsesses about."

I turn to her and blush and scratch my cheek as I pull out my phone and show her one of my more famous drawings.

"Y-you mean this?"

"Yeah, that ones one of his favorites. He loves art," I smile and laugh a bit.

"I never thought I'd have a fan all the way out here..." In a moment of confidence I quickly say, "I'd like to meet him."

"Huh?" Chloe says quite surprised.

"I'd like to meet a fan of mine," I say smiling.

"Oh, then I could introduce you guys this afternoon maybe, after school?"

"Great."

Our teachers voice broke the silence by clapping his hands.

"Class is dismissed early, nothing's gonna happen anyways." I shrugged and stood up and walked out the door where I was greeted by Natalie.

"Um...nat, I won't be going to the apartment after school, I gotta go somewhere, is that ok?"

"Umm...ok? I guess it's fine, just don't do drugs 'Kay? That's like gross and stuff,"

I laugh and nod as I pat her shoulder reassuringly.
