I couldn't sleep.
I mean, I was really trying to, but for some reasons, I can't.
I just can't.
I felt that something different is gonna happen for this day.
And I hope it will be good.

"NAAAAAAAAAAAATSUME!" I felt a tug on my shirt then heard a familiar voice, calling or more like screaming my name.
"Yes, mom?" I replied knowing it is my mom and at the same time, I was trying to calm myself down. I wasn't the type of person who likes nosy and bickering people. I screw them, but not my mother.
"YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE, MISTER! WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY YOUR TUITION IF THE SCHOOL DROPPED YOU OUT!" She screamingly replied. This time, I was annoyed. I frowned.
"Yes, mom. I know that. Now could you please get off my bed so that I can prepare?" I boringly replied.
"Okay, sweetie! Be careful on your way to school!" She sweetly replied, kissing my cheek. She then skipped her way towards my door. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
What a childish mother.
I sighed nonchalantly, getting up from my bed. I walked my way towards the bathroom downstairs so that I can get ready for school.
I opened the door, faced the mirror. I searched for my toothbrush and brushed my teeth. And the last thing to do, I took a bath, wear my glasses and got dressed.
After grooming up myself, I walked my way to our dining room to eat. I wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast so I just grabbed a piece of bread, ate it then left our house.
I checked the time. It's only 7:03 AM.

Alice University – School of Engineering and Math Building
August 2, 2010 – 7:25 AM
The school is just three blocks away from my house, so I arrived here just in time. I was never late. I can never be late. How could I when I'm the only scholar here in this University. They say that I'm really a genius student for maintaining my scholarship here in this University.
One fact in this University is that all the students here are prosperous and smart. But not smart enough to fulfill the necessities to pass the University's scholarship requirements.
I'm not conceited or something, but for me, being a scholar here isn't hard at all. You just need to perfect the exams, quizzes, etc. Meaning, you have to retain an A+ grades in your deportment card. And you have to work your given tasks or jobs too. Like me, I have to tutor my kouhaisin Architecture.
A little information about me. I'm Natsume Hyuuga, age 18. A sophomore student taking up the course BS-Civil Engineering, Minor in Architecture. Considered as a geek, because as I mentioned earlier, I'm the only scholar here and add the fact that I wore thick eye-glasses and a shaggy and messy hair because I don't want to have commotions, like when I was in high school.
Currently walking my way towards my designated room, I felt that the other students here are watching and whispering gossips about me again. But what can I do? Simple. Just simply ignore them.
I finally arrived in our lecture room. I only have a few friends, because I'm penniless, and a nobody. No one wants to be friends with me. But who cares? I don't need them anyway.
I saw our adviser approaching me, meaning I have a job to fill in.
"Hyuuga," Jinno strictly demanded.
"Yes, Jinno-sensei?" I respectfully replied, but a bit irritated inside.
"You need to tutor the Freshmen Architecture Students. Here's your guide to their topic. It's their first day of class. I know you'll be able to catch up in our topics considering the fact that you're smart." He said, handling me a little piece of paper with some information on it.
"I understand, Jinno-sensei." I replied, getting the information paper.
I grabbed my bag and walked out from the classroom. Our school is really big so we really need to have a shuttle around it. Our building, AU-SEM is 6 blocks away from AU-SDA. It's already 7:40, I'm gonna be late if I walk. So I took the free shuttle ride to arrive on time in the AU-SDA.

The shuttle arrived on the building's basement. I walked my way towards the elevator, and pressed the 'Up' button. I patiently waited for it, and then it opened. I hopped in, it goes up and it stopped on the Ground floor. I took my glasses off my eyes to wipe off the small fogs on it. I then saw 2 girls, joining me in riding the elevator. Yay.
I saw the raven haired girl, same color as my hair, pressed the 17th floor button. Crap! I haven't read the details for my class yet!
Okay, so the class is on the 17th floor, room 1707. Class time, 8:00 AM. Great. I'm their first teacher? On their first day of being in college? What. The. Heck.
But I couldn't complain, can I?
I felt the elevator goes up again and it stopped, someone entered and I don't care who the hell he or she was. Then it goes up again and stopped.
"Mikan, where the hell are you going? We're going on the 17th floor, you idiot." I heard the other girl kinda lectured.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" The brunette girl replied and I couldn't help to smile a little. I don't know why, I usually don't smile. But this girl somehow made me smile just for a little bit.
The elevator goes up again until it reached the 17th floor. I saw the raven haired hopped out first and I hopped out after her, but unfortunately, the brunette girl hopped out at the same time so we kinda bumped on each other.
"I'm so sorry!" The brunette girl looked at me then bowed. But her head bumped on my bag, I don't know how, but some of my things fell out of my bag.
"I'm really, really sorry again!" She looked so shocked and terribly sorry for what she had done, then she picked up some things on the floor.
"It's okay." I said as I helped her picked up my things. I was also surprised on the way I replied her. Usually, I'll be irritated if someone did that to me.
"Mikan, its 8 o'clock already. You're gonna be late. In fact, you're late already." The raven girl reminded her and I saw her eyes widened.
"NOOO!" She said as she dropped again the things she picked up. And then I saw her run towards her classroom. I just blinked, twice I think. Before picking up my things again.
"I'm so sorry, mister! I owe you one! Thank you, Hotaru!" She called out before she entered her lecture room.
I chuckled lightly, and walk towards my assigned room. What an interesting girl.
I froze when I realized something. Wait a minute!
It's the first time that I'm late!
