1 Part One

"Nathan, do you have lessons today?" someone shouted downstairs and it woke Ian up from the dream that he was having in his bedroom upstairs.

"Yes Mom, I've told you yesterday. It will be in the afternoon, not in the morning! " Nathan shouted to reply to his mother. He sat in his bed while rubbing his tired eyes.

"Opps. Sorry honey, get back to sleep then," his Mom shouted again. Nathan then tried to get back to sleep, yet he failed miserably.

He was fully awake and was lying in his bed.

'Gosh, it's just 8 in the morning. What am I supposed to do now...' Nathan thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Joseph had woken up at 7 and was currently having breakfast with his mother and sister.

"Do you like it?" Joseph's mom asked him as he was having a bite of the chicken sandwich.

"Yeah, it tastes good. Thanks Mom!" Joseph answered with a stuffed mouth.

"No problem sweetie. Are you excited about the first day of university?"

Yes, today was Joseph's very first day of university. That was why Harry woke up so early in the morning to get prepared, despite the lesson being in the afternoon.

"Of course Mom, I'm very excited," Joseph replied.

"That's good to hear honey! I'll go wash the dishes while you guys are having your breakfast. If you guys need me, I'll be in the kitchen. " she said before leaving Joseph and his older sister, Jennifer, in the dining room.

"Are you really excited? To me, you seem very nervous," Jennifer said as she felt like Joseph was kind of worried.

"Yes actually. I don't know if I can make any new friends."

"Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. It's normal if you don't remember anyone's name coz that's what I went through in my first day of Uni."

"Thanks sis." Joseph said as he faked a smile to cover up his nervousness. The brother and sister then finished their breakfast and started doing their own things.

A few hours later, it was the time for Joseph to go to the University. Joseph had taken time to do preparations and was so ready for it.

"I'm going now Mom!" he screamed as he grabbed his backpack and opened the front door.

"Okay, bye sweetheart!" she replied before Joseph closed the door and went to the University.

Some time later, Joseph arrived to the University and was looking for the right building.

He finally reached the right place after some time of wandering around even though he had a map in his hand.

He went inside the classroom and took a seat in the third last row. He took out his stationery and a piece of paper from his backpack and placed them carefully on the little table attached to the seat.

Harry kept scrolling his phone while more and more students were entering the classroom. The classroom was beginning to fill with noises and laughter before the professor came in. The classroom started to become silent.

"Good afternoon students, I am Mr Jones. I will be teaching you history for the whole year. Before we start our first chapter, let's talk about what is history..." he kept on talking for 50 minutes straight.

"Well students, I hope you now understand what you are going to learn this year and to  know more about each other, I would like you all to do a group project. I want four to five people in a group. Please assign one of the group members to be the group leader and give me a member list." Mr Jones said before the classroom started to get a bit and a bit noisier.

He continued, "I'm not yet finished, students!" The classroom became silent again as he continued, "I would like each group to present an interesting historical story. It can be anytime and anywhere. Finish it by this Friday. This is the end of today's lesson."

After saying "this is the end of today's lesson", the classroom was immediately full of noises. Everyone started to stand up and find their group members, except Joseph, as he did not know anyone in the classroom. As Joseph started to put his stationery back in his backpack, someone patted his shoulder.

Joseph was shocked and he dropped his pen on the floor.

"Oops!" Joseph whispered to himself as the guy who patted his shoulder stood beside him.

After Joseph picking up his pen, he looked up and he saw a boy with a pair of ocean blue eyes and a soft smile.

"Oh, hi!" Joseph said with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Hi, do you have a parter?" the guy asked .

"No, I don't have a partner."

"Do you want to join in my group?"

"Sure!"

"My friend, Ian, is in the group too. Would you mind that?"

"I don't mind."

"Good! What's your name?"

"Joseph Humphrey."

"Nathan Henderson."

Nathan reached out his hand to Joseph's. They had a little handshake. At the moment, Joseph's emerald eyes were stuck with Nathan's blue eyes. He noticed that he was clung to the beautiful and charming smile on Nathan's face and the reflection of himself in Nathan's crystal clear eyes. Unfortunately, the moment was broken by a boy nearby yelling, "Nathaaaaaaan! Didn't you say we are going to my house?"

It made Joseph come back from the moment when two pairs of eyes were met. Nathan yelled back at the boy, "yeah man! Wait a second, I'll be back soon!"

"That's... my friend, Ian."

"Oh, okay." Joseph answered.

"He just loves getting attention. By the way, can I get your phone number, Joseph?" Nathan said with a soft voice while handing his phone to Joseph.

Joseph nodded his head and typed in his number carefully before Nathan got back his phone and said his goodbye to Joseph.

Joseph waved at Ian with a smile and continued packing his bag. He left the University on his own and the first day of university was over.
