Chapter 2: The Student Council President!

Wow, university is so much more intense and competitive than I imagined, especially this kind of first class almost mini Ivy League… I was

exhausted after the first two classes… please do not get me wrong; I was exhausted in effort to keep myself awake, not because of the actual

academic stress. I looked at my schedule, hoping to get something interesting like Criminal Psychology or Foundation Arts, but all I could see was

Art History.

"Aw… mother f…."

The lecture hall was so dark with the only lights coming from the projector and the screen, which give off this eerie blue glow. I felt a sudden hit of

nap attack coming right this way and shook my head to keep awake. I looked around until I recognized this familiar face. The long front locks of

hair that looked very messy…. And those large glasses that covered more than half of his face. Is that person who I think he is? But…err… is it ok

for me to talk to him now, after our little 'friendly' meeting this morning? I pondered. Even though my brain was hesitating, but my body apparently

was moving towards him. He was reading a book about three times the size of his head right now and the book is…..um… our history textbook?

Wow, he really is a nerd.

"Yo, how's it going?" I asked nervously.

He looked up slowly from behind the large book… fixed his eyes on me, and slowly, very slowly, opened his mouth to speak. I almost fell when I heard what he said…

"Who are you?"

"Um…." Geez, what a boring and stupid dude, and why does he has to be the first person I met in this school.

"Don't you remember? You kind… um… bumped into me this morning… and I thought maybe… um… you remember me?" I can hear my own nervous laugh.

"Oh…" He goes back to his 'dictionary'.

"…"

This is so awkward! If I knew it would become like this, I would never have approached him! I pouted inwardly.

"Are you a freshman?" Just as I was complaining about him mentally, his masculine voice asked, unexpectedly.

"Eh?" I blanked out until I suddenly realized what he just said.

"Oh, um… ya! I am a freshman… why? Aren't you?"

He paused his reading and turned his head to look at me. His gazed fixed on me for a couple of seconds and he went back to his book… again.

"I guess so…"

"No shit." I guess so too, otherwise, you wouldn't have been in the same class as me.

Then, I didn't know if my eyes are really failing me or something, but for a split second, from his profile face, the corner of his lips slightly pulled

upward. Suddenly, his very commonplace nerdy appearance was, almost decorated, by something very special and attractive. Realizing that I have

been staring at him for such a long time, I mentally smacked myself.

God, I really need to get a boyfriend or something. Seriously, I am drooling over some random nerd who happened to stumble over me…


After the most tedious class, my slightly uplifted soul, when I saw his smile before the class, was plundered. When he looked at my dying form, he

told me to wait, and being very not ignorant for the first time, went to get me a cup of coffee.

As I was standing in the well-lighted hallway drinking my coffee, I took another longggg good look at him.

"Are you ok? You Spilled some coffee." He asked.

I scarcely heard what he said because I just realized how pale his skin looked, and his only remaining features, which are not covered up by either

hair or glasses, are his perfectly straight nose and thin lips marked by gentle curves. His smooth and long outline for his face was touched by the

glows of the afternoon sun, and his long black locks made an amazing contrast to his pearl skin. Even with slouched shoulders, he was about 5

foot 7, and his narrow, slender figure hardly held up the suit he wore.

"Xiaoli- sama!" Someone called from a distance. Then a girl with red bobby hair ran toward this dude.

"Xiaoli- sama! I looked every where for you!" She exclaimed and looked up at him with revere and respect in her eyes as she almost slammed into him.

"Xiao!" This time was a male voice. A handsome student with long pale blond hair tied into a thin ponytail stepped from behind the girl.

"Man, seriously, which rock were you hiding under this time?! The principal is searching for you across the school like crazy!" The hot guy said

when he got closer. "You better check in with her or you will be in deep shit."

This Xiaoli guy just watched those two with a straight face and strolled slowly into the direction of the principal's office. His back slowly

disappeared in the crowd of students as the winter breeze picked up his shadows and carried it through the branches of lifeless trees…

As I was immersed in my own thoughts, a voice rang beside me.

"Hey! Are you new to the school? Are you a freshman? Do you know Xiaoli- sama? How did you guys meet? Oh ya! I am Alice! Nice to meet you." I

torn my gaze away and stared at the owner of the sound. It was the redhead kawai chick who admired that Xiaoli person.

"She talks a lot some times, so you might as well just ignore her if you like." The blond guy smirked.

"I do not! I am just really bubbly and gregarious and helpful and…" She retorted as her face became fumed with frustration.

"Ya… ya… that's what she said…" He looked away, still snickering. He turned to me and laughed.

"Sorry about that, none of the SSC's are really normal people especially this kid and Chairman Xiaoli." He said casually while musing on something

outside the window in the distance.

"SSC?" I asked.

"It just stands for Supreme Student Council, by the way." Alice said, "And that retard over there is Regen."

"I see…" wow, I am really lucky today, bumping into two student council members. A sinister smile displayed on the corner of my lips. Hn… if I

managed to get a good relationship with these two, then if I get into trouble in the future, or set up my own clubs, it would be a piece of cake.

Muhahaha…

Certain two student council members felt a strange chill down their back as they watched a certain someone planning carefully of what she can do

with them.

"Anyways." Regen coughed as Alice sweat dropped. He put back on his smile and held out his hand.

"It is a pleasure to meet you." I looked at him, and sincerely (deep in my heart… somewhere) accepted this friendship.

"The pleasure is all mine." I smiled as I took his hand. For seconds, I felt something warm and placid in my heart. They gentle and welcoming

words and gestures made me felt, for the first time in this school, at home.

"Me want! Me want!" Alice chirped as she grabbed both mine and Regen's hands, and broke that sudden peace which broke into fragments and

scattered in the winter atmosphere.

This went much smoother than I had expected, for at least I got a couple of friends now on the first day, and my feeling of loneliness slowly and

silently slipped away…

"Oh ya… So what did you guys say about that Xiaoli person again? Something about the SSC's?"

"Xiaoli- sama is the youngest and the smartest and the best and smartest…CM University's Supreme Student Council PRESIDENT!! Yeah!!" Some

very jolly soul cheered.

"Yup! Even though I never liked him all THAT much, I still have to admit he is pretty god damned brilliant." Another very… some what informative

soul described.

"…"

"…"

"…HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL???!!!..."
