01: Good beginning

Rumi and Drusilla have just been admitted in college. Their friendship seems to be unbreakable, with a strong bond. The best friends attend their first class in which they are asked to do a presentation about, counseling on depression. Drusilla gives her presentation and it is Rumi's turn. She steps forward and starts to give the presentation," there are many causes of depression nowadays, it could be as a result of broken families and relationships. So I think the best way to help depressed youths is by showing love and convincing them that there is still a chance to warmth, love and feeling wanted. Thank you "

The entire class is impressed, they give her big hand(clap). The lecturer is also impressed by this, he asks Rumi to see him after classes. After other lessons, Rumi and Drusilla go to the cafeteria to have their lunch,as they are seated,a cute guy walks to them. He greets them and introduces himself, " hi ladies, my name is Jace and we are in the same class, by the way your presentation was a hit"

Mistaking his praise for her presentation, Drusilla says thanks but Jace tells her the praise wasn't meant for her but Rumi leaving her embarrassed. To save her friend from any further embarrassment, Rumi introduces herself to Jace," call me Rumi, an this is my best friend Drusilla and thanks... oh no, the lecturer asked me to see him after classes I have to go... you guys can chat but I must leave, nice to meet you Jace, bye "

Rumi leaves the cafeteria. Drusilla tries to engage Jace into a conversation but he ignores her and leaves. Rumi reaches the lectures office. The lecturer tells Rumi and help with the youth counseling event that will take place in the college as part of the counselors. Rumi willingly agrees. In the dorm room, Rumi tells Drusilla the good news but she doesn't show much excitement. Rumi notices it but she changes the topic," so how did your conversation with Jace go?"

Drusilla lies about Jace with all sorts of excuses," he is very cheeky,rude,flirty and he is a liar"

Rumi however disagrees with Drusilla's opinion of Jace, " I don't think he is all that,he looks kind and friendly "

Drusilla just rolls her eyes and covers herself with a blanket and goes to sleep.

Rumi just smiles,tells Drusilla good night and goes to sleep as well.
