Chapter 12

Fresher's week

Orientation started at 9a.m sharp so we freshened up and met the boys in the lobby and proceeded to campus.

Oxford university is way better looking than it is in the pictures, very huge and gives a welcoming feeling.

All the freshmen and new students were directed to a huge hall and everyone got in their seats.

All the introductions were done and every student was given map and all this took about 3-4 four hours as a result of many students and lecturers.

We were divided into our departments so the history head of department sends us all details of activities expected to be attended on the first weeks.

We were all shown to our respective lecture rooms and introduced to the department lecturers.

The whole week went in a buzz.

We had the infamous Annual freshers fair whereby we ventured into clubs or society. It may be in music, sports volunteering etc we get to choose what we wanted.

We proceeded with our registration, given tours of the campus, and we also attended social events.

Last day of orientation everything was wrapped up and we left around 2p.m.

Outside the hall

"I have a feeling that we are going to enjoy everything here,'' Regan says and we all agree with her. We start chit chatting as we heard out.

As we got outside some girls started screaming as a white mini cooper countryman came to a stop where it was reserved for the chancellor and parked there. A black-haired boy came out, his back to where me, Regan and the boys were standing.

Regan, Daniel and Marlon all started to walk away but I did not; somehow my gut told me not to move so l just stood there waiting for the boy to turn around.

He then turned to face where we were as he was closing the door.

And I froze.

All the colour in my face was drained.

Words cannot describe how I felt.

I was happy.

I was sad.

I was angry at him, I resented him.

I felt butterflies in my stomach.

I was perplexed, of all the places in England he was here.

Ocean

Ocean McConaughey was the one who was closing the door and walking into the building we were all coming out from.
