Camlam College

Who knows Present is just History Repeated?

"Happy birthday, Nancy," my boyfriend Pella whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw a brightly wrapped gift box the size of my palm.

"Gosh, thanks, Pella." It was my birthday, and my friends were celebrating it in the cafeteria. I'm officially eighteen now, and recipient of a driver's licence.

I am a freshman at Camlan College, Cornwall. I was from Nolava High, England, same as most of my classmates, as Nolava High and Camlan College are affiliated. I'm a major at English Literature and Biology, while Pella is in Volcanic Geology.

My high school Literature teacher, Ms. Kali Marlin, came to teach at Camlan too. She said she missed us. My best friend Nancy, major in Art. Her boyfriend William was a Major in Chinese, and Jennifer Maths and Chemistry, and her boyfriend Lance in Sports.

We're all from Nolava High. We thought we'll have a safe four eyes in college, but God, we were SO wrong.

We found out that two classmates had been in cahoots, trying to kidnap William so that they can each snag Jennifer and Lance. But I've wrecked their plans, so now they're expelled from Nolava High. They weren't supposed to come within ten feet of that school. And I certainly didn't expect them to break the tradition now.

'Look who's birthday it is, Marco," a musical voice sounding like the bells of hell tinkled in my ear. Around us, the music had stopped. Elaine's face had turned white, and Lance flexed his muscles threateningly.

"Well, Lily Fay, aren't we glad we're back?" Marco drawled. Once a five-feet shortie boy, he had become taller, and his voice broke now.

"What are you doing back here?" Jennifer demanded. "You not supposed to come back to Nolava High!"
"Well, but here is Camlan College, isn't it? They didn't say anything about Camlan College. So, aren't you gonna invite me to the party?"

"No way. Out now, or else William and Lance are gonna beat you up." I snarled. No way was I letting them ruin my birthday party.

"Why? Who are they?" Pella wanted to know.

"Nobody. Our ex-classmates, who's been to jail."

"Well, give them a chance to redeem themselves, won't you?"

"Pella, it's my party, and I decide who to invite."

"Very well, Lady Nineve, I'll abide to your Highness' wishes." Marco bowed imperiously to me.

"What was that all about?" Pella asked.

"Look Pella, it's none of your business." Elaine pointed out.

Pella looked ruffled. After that, the party broke up shortly. Pella excused himself by going to the library. I met up with Elaine, William, Lance and Jennifer.

"What's going on? Don't tell me that history has repeated itself again." Elaine asked.

"I don't know. Why don't we tell Ms. Kali what's happened. Hopefully she'll know."
