7 C6- My first college experience

#Jazlyn  p.o.v #

It's morning already and I am wide awake. I have never been the one to get up early for school, mom always has to be my screaming alarm ever since I started school. It was like a royale battle between us.

My gosh, here I am for the first time in forever waking up as early as 5 am to get ready for my first day in college. I stretched my arms out, yawning and rubbing my eyes softly to relieve them of any sleep, then I got out of bed smiling brightly at my ceiling.

I brushed my teeth, took a warm shower, and brushed my natural curly red hair down. Not too much of any help because it curls back again. I sat in front of my dresser having a hanging mirror and applied nude makeup on my face. When I was done I put on the first choice from the clothes I had selected yesterday with my black wedge heel boots, I carried my black bag that contained the necessary things I would need and head downstairs to have a quick breakfast.

"Morning mom." I greeted cheerily, my morning mood improved automatically. She looked at me with surprise written over her face.

"Is it just me or did you wake up early for school?" She asked still having that surprised look.

"Come on mom, can't I just decide I want to be early. It's my first day in college I don't want to make a bad impression." I told her hiding the real motive behind my words. It is useless lying to her, I knew she is not buying it.

"Has anyone seen my Roxy I think this one is broken." Mom shouts my nickname aloud to no one in particular.

"Seriously mom, I want to make a good impression." I defended my purpose. 

"Who are you stranger and what have you done to my baby girl?" Mom retorts playfully.

"Mom!" I whined.

"Oh Please you can't fool me with those words, you didn't just get up so you could be early you did it so you can see cute boy again, that's what you call him right." Mom spoke the exact reasons I had in mind which was true and left me tongue-tied, how in the world am I going to get myself out of this.

"No no no no no no no, mom, that's not the reason." I tried to defend and she raised a brow with both her arms folded on top of her baby bump. "O...okay maybe part of it is true, but remember IIIT'S my first day in college." I tried to convince her laying emphasis on the word IT'S.

"Just don't get carried away with this thing, and be careful, okay." She reminded me again, that I really thank her for. I thought about it and she was right. The first time I saw Noel, I was really in heaven, it made me think I was in love with him but, see what it resulted me in the end. I became a victim of a terrible heartbreak that will leave you wanting to take his big ugly skull and smash it in a mortar till it bursts.

Davin might be cute and all that doesn't mean I wanted to date him or have any relationship with him. I just like him, maybe as a friend. Although I feel slightly attracted to him and I might have a tiny-tiny, tiny crush on him. All I want from us is friendship, we could be close friends, just friends.

"Yes mom I will." I replied and gave her a goodbye hug before leaving.

I entered the school premises expecting to see a fair lively surrounding but I ended up getting lost. I had no idea where to go and no one was assigned to be my guide, so I tried exploring the building myself and hopefully I bump into someone that might help me. The school was very big, more than I thought it would be, and the wideness was shaped like the alphabet 'T' that's if you go around you'll notice it. I was getting tired and concerned class might start at any moment and I am still lost, so I decided to ask people for directions and stop using mine. It isn't working, at all 

I asked some students who were passing by for directions to the schools' secretary office, they told me it was at the other side of the building. The same place I passed a couple of minutes ago "Screw you Jay!" I walked back to the other side of the building and knocked gently. I heard a faint 'come in' and I entered.

The office looks nice and welcoming, plush couches at both sides of the room, weird paintings on the wall. A fairly large, decorative lovely office for a secretary. I drew back my attention from the decoration on the wall to the secretary at the desk 

"Good morning ma'am." I greeted to get her attention. She glanced at me not more than a second before looking back at her computer, then to me, her eyes widen in surprise.

"Good morning you must be Jazlyn Roxanne Engelbert." She smiled brightly and stood up from her chair to give me a handshake "My name is Fiona Fleming." I was astonished by her hospitality.

"Yeah, nice to meet you Miss Fleming." I said, unsure how to answer. I am not used to people talking to me normally without starting a fight.

"I am a huge fan of your father's work, and he asked me to assign someone to you, so I did assign someone to be your guide today." She said. 

"Who?" I asked.

"Well there were three options Mr Engelbert suggested for you, but I told him I will keep a close eye on you. He agreed but gave me one thing to do if I am to keep an eye on you, you will have to be appointed an escort or companion, then we know what the second option is." She explains.

"What second option?" I asked her hoping my dad hasn't gone nuts over me.

"Don't worry about that. Let's work on option A." She brushed it off.

"Why does my dad want you to keep track on me?" I asked again.

"Well I asked him the same thing he just said, I don't want fire service surrounding my house and Chung Lee better not show up in my house again." She quotes.

"Ooh!" Is all I could say. Now I understand. Chung Lee was my martial arts teacher when I was younger around five I think. I always get into trouble with the senior fighters for beating the crap out of them every time they try to bully me. Chung Lee could not take it anymore so he banned me from his class for life. I haven't been practicing martial arts for a very long time and my skills are beginning to wear off.

Fiona was busy briefing me about my schedules and important facts about the school standards and policy when the door opened and a guy came in. 'Wow he got the hots' he looked like those super hot models from the front cover magazines. His hair was a hot mess and his eyes… his dark blue eyes were strong, menacing that could send chills down anyone's spine. Strong jaw defined his face, I am sure he got toned muscles underneath that jacket.

"You sent for me Fiona." He grumbled His voice was so deep and slow as he talked which sent chills down my spine, it kinda scared me, I wondered how Fiona isn't affected, she seems cool with him. Who the heck is this guy?
