The next day...

Darien raced through the university corridors - he was late for class.

He looked at his watch and yelped he was already 5 minutes late!

He had to get to his class and fast, before the professor looked him

out. As he raced through the empty corridors thoughts of the last ten

years came back to him.

As he approached the classroom he slid underneath the cleaning trolley.

'Phew that was close...' He thought as he watched the cleaner take the

trolley away.

He sighed as he knocked on the door.

There was no answer.

He tried again.

Still no answer.

He swore as he leaned against the corridor walls. Because he had been

up late last night studying for his Genetics' test, he had gone to bed

late - therefore waking up later than he normally would.

He glanced at the sign on the opposite wall it had a picture of some

kids (obviously from poorer area of the world) with speech bubbles out

of their mouths saying 'It was no fun being an orphan'.

He could relate to this experience all to well. He remembered when his

parents died - he had been 16 when it happened and his sister had been

8.

He remembered those times all to well.

At the age of 16, he and his sister, Hotaru got put in the

"Sheildfields Orphanage". It was a co-ed orphanage, but it wasn't that

nice.

Darien could see it right now, the constantly dripping taps, the

rundown rooms with graffiti all over them and the mouldy bathrooms. As

soon as he had turned 18 he left the orphanage, together with his

sister they left to make themselves a better life...

Darien snapped out from his memory and there his professor stood right

in front of him, who tapping his feet impatiently. Darien glanced at

his professor, who seemed like trying to get his attention for who-know

-how-long. Not trying to get a detention from him, he mumbled 'sorry'

before entered the class. From there, he was greeted by his friend, who

was waving at him.

"Andrew!" Darien unconsciously yelled out. At the far back, Andrew

smacked his face HARD with his hand, with embarrassment. Seeing the

gesture of his best friend, Darien quickly apologised to the class AND

to the professor before walked to his seat, which was next to Andrew.

Andrew was a fan of 'Moonie'. He had all Moonie's collection, her

posters, her movies and series, almost everthing, excluded her toys of

course, but there was something he long to have was... HER AUTOGRAPH!!!

It was like a challenge to do such a thing, especially to meet her in

person! If anyone who was interested in the news of Monnie, Andrew

could be your best sources.

"Darien, do you know what I heard this morning?" Andrew reported as the

professor began her lecture. "I heard that 'Moonie'...."
