This is it! you though to yourself as you walked in on the campus ground. The years of studying had finally paid off. You had made it in to San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.
You felt so happy that you wanted to laugh out loud, or do something crazy like jumping up in the air, or do a back-flip right there on the spot. The only thing holding you back from doing so was the other students. You usually didn't care too much about others opinions about you, but this was you first day of school, and you wanted to make a good impression. Beside, truth be told, you couldn't actually do a back-flip.
As you walked to your first class deep in your own thought someone ran into you from behind. "Ouch! Hey, why don't you watch where you're going?" you said in annoyance turning around.
Your eyes fell on a guy about your age with dark eyes, and even darker hair. "Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there. You okay?" he asked while bending down to pick up a few papers he'd dropped. He seemed really nice and all of your annoyance was gone. "Yea. No, it's cool." You shrugged. He smiled. "Sure?" You smiled back. "Yea. No problems."
Before he could reply someone yelled, "Oh my god! It's Hiro. Hiro Hamada! Are you okay?"
A bunch of people made its way to the two of you. You looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Yea. That's me. Hiro Hamada." he chuckled and extended his hand to you. You didn't have a chance to take it. The students had made their way up to you and where pushing you around to get closer to Hiro. "Wow. I'm such a big fan of you. What you and your friends do is great!" someone called out from behind you. "Me too! I'm a huge fan!" another voice exclaimed.
More people seemed to be coming up to you and you were pretty confused. By now it was a crowed. People were talking at the same time asking questions to Hiro. "What happened!", "Are you okay? I saw you fall!"
Hiro laughed. "I didn't fall. Guys, everything's fine. Give us some space, will you?" The people around you stepped back.
The crowd kept on asking questions, and as you looked around you saw an opening behind two guys. Since everyone's attention was on Hiro you slowly made your way out without being noticed. Once you were out you quickly made your way to your first class.
Everything went fine and you got home to your dorm around three o'clock. Your room mate who had skipped her first day of class were home cooking.
Her name was Mikki. The two of you had never met before you both got assigned to the same dorm, but you where already closer than most people you'd ever known with only a few exceptions. She was easy to talk to, and everything came natural. She was very sincere. It felt like she really cared, and actually got it when the two of you talked about serious things.
"Hey _! Get in here. I'm making ramen for the two of us!" she called cheerfully. You laughed and stepped into your, so called, 'kitchen'. "How's it going Mikki?"
"Great! I'm almost done. Could you do the table while I'm just finishing up?" she asked. "Of course."
In no time she was out with two large bowls of streaming ramen. "Wow, it looks amazing!" you praised. She smiled proudly. "Yea, well what did you expect?"
You guys started to eat and tell each other about your day. Mikki went first. She had been out shopping groceries. For lunch she had gone to a neat little café on a hill called the Lucky Cat Café. She insisted on taking you there someday.
"I'm telling you. It's really popular among the students of San Fransokyo! I made a few new friends there. Some were even from our uni!" she explained. "You made friends on your first day without even going to class! Wow, that's pretty hard core." you joked, and she laughed.
"Nah, anyways. Tell me about your day! How was class?" she smiled. You put down your chopsticks. "It was fine. We were introduced to the course and talked about the upcoming tasks and such. The usual" you concluded. "Figured!" She smiled. "So, now to what's really important. Did you meet any cool people?" You laughed and shrugged. "I talked to some people in my classes and in-between. I had lunch with three other girls, and two guys. They were all nice. Nothing out of the ordinary, though." She nodded. You thought about it and all of the sudden you recalled your earlier encounter.
"Actually I did meet someone different. Do you know who Hiro Hamada is?" you asked.
Mikki rushed up. "You meet Hiro Hamada!" It was more of a statement then a question so you didn't say anything. "He and his friends are like celebrities! I thought everyone knew about Big Hero 6!" she said. "Of course I do. It's those guys running around town, fighting crime and helping people, right?" you asked. "What's wrong with you! You make it sound like it's not awesome at all!" she exclaimed.
"Wow, calm down. Fighting crime is great and all, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Besides, after seeing him to day…" you trailed off. "What?" Mikki wanted to know. She sat back down again. "What!" she looked excited. You shrugged. "I don't know. I just got the feeling that he is all about the attention and so. That's all."
"So what? That doesn't matter. Of course he get to like the attention. He's a super hero after all. It comes with the terriory." She smiled. "I know, but you should have seen the commotion." you tried.
"So, how was he? What happened? Tell me!" You told her everything, and to your disappointment she didn't seem to share your opinions about Hiro.
"He doesn't sound too bad. Sure you didn't just judge him too quickly?" she tried. "I dunno. Still I don't like people who are full of themselves. Why did they quit being anonymous in the first place, anyway? Bet it was for the fame." you said as a last resort to persuade her into understanding that Hiro Hamada wasn't really "all that".
It didn't work.
