A/N: Ok. So this is really a different setting from the Narnia we know. I just can't help using these characters in my story because they're just so perfect in my opinion. Only Susan and Edmund are siblings here though.

I wandered aimlessly along the empty corridors of the university as I walk back to my dormitory. All my classes have been finished ten minutes ago and I was taking my time exploring the new university I'm studying at. The students have fled instantly when the bell rang and I'm guessing only a few have remained probably doing some last minute discussions. I have been here for a couple of weeks already and still everything is still new to me and I have been lost a couple of times already during my first days here. Being the new student at the start of the semester was a bit hard and strange at some ways. I'm currently on my first year studying business administration. As usual, I have never made friends with anyone including my very own room mate who rarely sleeps in our room. She's some strange party girl and never gets tired of hanging out. I sometimes wonder where she sleeps at night during the days I find myself alone in the large quiet room.

Clutching my books to my chest with both of my arms, something caught my attention as I noticed a door that is slightly ajar. Curiosity got the better of me when I heard muffled noises inside. I'm not really the nosy type of person but something really tells me to take a quick look. When I peeked through the partially opened door, the most appalling scene was displayed right before my eyes. The student council president was making out with some random male student I vaguely recognize from somewhere. I can't help but feel disgusted by what I am actually seeing and I decided to leave the sickening sight in front of me.

Suddenly, as I was turning around from the door, my cellphone rang with the loudest tone anyone could hear in the empty hallways. I cursed silently and the door suddenly swung open revealing them both with flustered faces. They stared at me for a moment and I felt myself intimidated so unexpectedly. I looked at the boy and he was wearing a very unreadable expression. I know I saw him somewhere but I just can't figure out where but he's definitely not my classmate from English class. He's not ugly, though.

The student council president quickly regained her composure and cleared her throat. "Well, aren't you going to answer that phone of yours, miss?", she said through gritted teeth. I was so tensed that I totally forgot about my ringing phone. I looked at them back and forth before muttering an excuse and scampered out of the hallway.

As I was out of the hallway, my phone stopped ringing. Just great. I suddenly felt the urge to throw it out for putting me thru that entire embarrassing and awkward situation. I pulled it out of my sling bag and saw the missed call was from Susan, my room mate.

I quickly redialed her number since she rarely calls me since we met. After a few rings, she finally answered.

Me: Hey sorry I missed your call.

Susan: It's ok. Hey, listen. My brother is coming over at the dorm to pick up some of his stuffs he left at home. I'm afraid I can't get to the dorm til tomorrow evening because of these stupid chemistry projects. Just let him in and let him get his stuff, ok?

I rolled my eyes while I listening to her ramble on. I know this chemistry project she calls stupid is indeed ridiculous. It's just her lame excuse for the partying and smoking and other vices I couldn't even imagine. I wonder if her brother or the rest of her family knows that.

Me: I don't even know your brother.

Susan: Oh come on, Lily. I know you're smart enough for that. Hey, I gotta go. See ya.

Then she hung up. I didn't even get the chance to correct her. My name Is definitely not lily. I wonder if she's drunk or just plainly dumb. I practically posted a large poster of my name beside my bed and it's just impossible for her not to notice that. Even some of my stuffs got my name labeled on it. Not to mention the few times I corrected her of calling me various names when she stayed at the dorm.

As I walked around the corner towards the dormitory which stands just around the school's vicinity, someone behind me tapped on my shoulder. I turned around and recognized Marjorie, my highschool friend who is studying medicine.

I smiled and greeted her."Hi."

Marjorie beamed and said, "Hey, I was really trying to get a hold of you since yesterday but it seems you're phone was out and unfortunately I never got the time to drop by your dorm too. Things have gotten so busy lately. But anyway, do you remember that part time job I told you the a few days ago?"

I nodded urging her to go on.

"Well, you see our assistant manager filed for a maternity leave yesterday and I can't find anyone else to fill that job out. I mean, it would really help a lot if I could find someone who knows something about business. Father is really monitoring it closely and I don't think I could really handle it all on my own right now. There's just so many things going on all at once lately and-", she rambled on but I cut her off.

"Wait wait wait wait. Are you trying to imply something here?", I raised an eyebrow at her. I have a vague sense where this conversation is going.

She drew in a deep breath and looked at me in the eye. "Will you be my assistant manager?"
