1 C1- A silent Beginning

Title: A Silent Beginning

Today marked the beginning of my college journey, a day filled with uncertainty and anticipation. As I indulged in my usual morning routine, thoughts of the day ahead filled my mind. Would the scheduled problems that often arise unexpectedly make an appearance, or would they be mercifully postponed? These uncertainties lingered as I prepared for the day ahead.

Being a serious introvert, I found solace in solitude. The thought of engaging in small talk with others brought me little comfort, so I maintained a cold and poker-faced demeanor. Prestige Crescent High, renowned as one of the country's top colleges, boasted a student body filled with elites excelling in various fields. What drew me most to the campus was its infrastructure, providing the perfect ambiance of silence that I craved.

My ideal day would be one devoid of the cacophony of loud music, with the gentle ticking of a wall clock serving as a constant reminder of the passage of time. With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I embarked on my new journey, choosing to sit alone on the second bench.

As the morning progressed, I made my way to the canteen area, adhering to the school's code of conduct regarding food and beverages. Finding an empty table amidst the bustling cafeteria, I settled in with my order of an extra cheese sandwich.

Engrossed in my digital book, I failed to notice the sudden hush that fell over the cafeteria. It was as if the world around me had frozen in time, leaving me with an eerie sense of foreboding. Sensing eyes upon me, I turned to find myself the subject of scrutiny from the surrounding crowd.

A hoarse voice broke through the silence, demanding that I vacate my seat. I met the icy glare of a fellow student, his demeanor reeking of entitlement and arrogance. Refusing to back down, I stood my ground, asserting my right to the seat I had claimed.

With a mixture of defiance and determination, I confronted the intruder, leaving him speechless in my wake. As I walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph wash over me. Little did I know, this encounter would mark the beginning of an unexpected journey—one that would lead me to forge unlikely connections and discover the true meaning of friendship.
