The Mixed Colony and new school

Already inside the city, I think my mouth did not close at any time, everything was so different, so beautiful. It looked like a city of the future, clean and organized. When I met my grandparents, our eyes filled with tears, for half an hour they hugged and kissed me between the two of them. I felt loved and close to my mother, and I was overcome with peace. The whole time I was with them, they always told me stories about my mother and showed me pictures.

For two months I was acclimatizing to the place, Lee never showed up again, and I was grateful for that. I missed him, why? I don't know, but something inside me wanted to see him, hear his voice, and smell his scent.

Out of all those thoughts, I must say that everything was getting on track since Kim managed to sign me up to start the course at the university.

My joy was enormous, but also my concern because the school had a regime very similar to the military. They were not only concerned about education, but it was also a full package, here you were pushed both physically and mentally.

The idea was to bring out the best of the best, following that old-world thinking that only under pressure do the best come out. Here over time, I began to feel fearful of not reaching the expected level, but it would not be lacking trying.

I was not going to take everything for granted or rest on my laurels, I had to get wherever I could since this was where I could study my desired career.

At first, I did not know anyone, so I was a loner, something that did not affect me so much, as it has always been like that. But then two essential people came into my life who in the future would be my family. Dael, a young man from the Latin Colony, and Anjil from the African Colony.

They were funny, older than me in age, he was twenty-one, and she was nineteen. However, there was an incredible connection between us, sometimes we didn't even have to talk to know what the other was thinking. Although the best link was between the two of them, they made me envious and at the same time, I was dying for the two of them to be together. They made a perfect couple, it was like watching soul mates, they would complete each other's sentences, look at each other, and laugh like fools.

I guess Anjil didn't want to accept it because Dael was a very handsome boy, I would say too much. He was also charismatic, and able to bring women to his feet. Somehow, he reminded me of Lee, they were both Greek gods in their prototype men, if you know what I mean.

Luckily, I didn't have to experience the jealousy my friend went through daily, as Lee had already finished college. Having a high IQ, he was able to graduate at an early age, so at twenty-two years old it had been three years since he had started his graduate life. Behind him was Dael, this year was his last in college, advancing in technology. Anjil was in the third year of his degree, and I was just starting, so I was the one with the lowest IQ I guess, Je.

Anyway, the three of us were heading to my favorite time, training. You see, in this school, this was the only class where you could make it according to your preferences. Neither the age nor the school year was an impediment, so I could do it with my friends. The only thing that bothered me was that, again, I was always the last one, I was not good at physical exercise. Today I had to climb, I was not the worst, so we were not in last place, but in a way, I put the team behind. After the evaluation, we were walking down the corridor joking.

— You must improve that strength of yours, go to the gym, do some weights and bars.

— Leave her alone, Dael, she's just getting as good as you want her to be. I'm sure you'll get better with time.

Avoiding

I said, yes with my head, and we continued to play with each other until we saw that in the hallway was a massive commotion. The female side was stirred up, something had upset the hormones. It wasn't long before I knew what it was, I just had to smell his scent. My breathing stopped and when my eyes encountered each other it was enough to set my nerves into action.

— I'm going to take a bath; I think I stink.

Without looking at them, I started walking to the right where the shelters were located, we were going to eat something, but after that, I lost my appetite. I was almost running, and I was reaching my goal.

— Alexa Darell.

I closed my eyes, I wanted to disappear; however, I knew it was impossible. Finally, I took a breath and turned slowly toward the source that called my name.

— Yes, tell me. — I pretended to be surprised—. Oh… hello, Lee.

He didn't believe me because his face hardened, and I saw his jaw stiffen.

— Professor Lee.

— Excuse me?

— From today, I start as a professor at this university. — I think my eyes almost popped out of my face—. Your biology classes are with me and even your training.

— Why?

— I'm sorry. I guess you don't know, but I'm a bioengineering senior, and besides, I was one of the best in training at this university. So, of course, I'm more than qualified for this job.

— Anja, however, I didn't ask whether you were good or not, but why you must be my teacher.

— Is that a problem?

— No, of course not. — What possible fucki… issue could I have with looking at the man who rejected daily? — Well, it was nice to see you, now if you allow me, I'm going to my room.

— Of course.

I headed towards my place at full speed, I thought I wouldn't be able to hide much more how much his presence bothered me. In all honesty, there wasn't a second when I didn't want to kiss him and make love to him right there. But I had to adapt to this new situation, the key was to ignore him, so I precisely spent the whole week without looking at him. Oh, and by the way, I know how Anjil feels.

The weekend arrived, and I was happy to escape from my daily torture. As I walked in the door, my father greeted me and told me to go get some rest because we had visitors in the evening.

So, after taking care of all my school things, I took a bath and slept. My father woke me up to get ready and go downstairs to greet the visitor. It turned out to be some of the mom and dad's former colleagues along with Kim, of course, I couldn't miss my heartbreak. After greeting everyone, I asked for permission and left, saying I had a terrible headache. There was no way I could stand seeing him sitting there and having to stay away.

At some point, I was going to have to grow up and learn to live with the fact that he would never be mine. It was mission impossible; his family would never let him be with someone not of their people. That's not to mention that he had no interest in me. Too much frustration in my body produced stress, so I decided to take Dael's advice. The next day without wasting time I went to find a gym where I would learn to channel all the bad vibes I had.

I started my second workout after class, every day I escaped from the university since the gym was not far from it. It was exhausting the first month, I ended up sleeping on my desk every night, but then it started to show results.
