First School Day

Waking up early, I felt refreshed and ready to tackle all the problems that the world may throw at me. Getting up from my bed after yawning I proceed to walk towards the exit of my room towards the kitchen to make something to eat. I found some cereal in a cabinet and took a bowl and spoon somewhere in the kitchen.

Then I proceed to put the cereal first then I fetch the milk from the fridge and put the milk in the cereal I ate the cereal which is tasty because it is chocolate flavored and very churchy, a good way to start your day. By eating something crunchy and sweet.

Overall after eating the cereal and having my breakfast I then proceed to my room to prepare the clothes that I would use for today. So I walked from the kitchen to my room to prepare the clothes and from my room to the bathroom to take a bath and be overall ready for today's first day of my college life, technically my second attempt at college.

After taking a bath and doing the ritual that most girls do after taking a bath, like drying their hair brushing them, and whatever they do after they took a bath. But for me, I just dried my hair and brushed it to a better presentation compared to the bed hair I woke myself in. After doing that I proceed to take my aesthetic backpack and also took my phone with me.

But I forgot that I don't have any money with me so I searched for my wallet, in which in my original world I always put my wallet inside my bag so that it won't be lost because I'm quite clumsy and may lose stuff easily. So I searched my bag and I found my wallet to be transformed from a men's classic wallet to a girl's wallet which has everything I have in my old wallet with few extras.

Just like my credit cards, in my original wallet, I only have one credit card, but now I have like five or maybe seven credit cards in this wallet, moreover, it's from various banks. Anyway, I count the money in my new wallet and It came to be more than enough for my day and even more than what I can use for one day.

So then I walked from my room to the driveway and looked for my motorcycle. And what greeted me in the driveway was not my motorcycle but instead in the place where my motorcycle would be a car, a sedan car to be exact. A black sleek sedan that screams modern and expensive-looking car. I mean my old yet well-maintained motorcycle was replaced by a modern sedan.

I'm not attached to that old fossil, so I can take this sedan as a replacement for my beloved old motorcycle which I had used since I'm quite capable of driving it. Anyway, the car looks good and if I am the same as my alternate self, she should also leave the keys inside same as myself in my original reality. I leave the key inside the vehicle because I'm quite forgetful and might misplace the keys and never be able to find them again.

Opening the door of the car I get inside and lo and behold the keys are inside, were quite the same me and my alternate self. We have some similarities and some same habits. Turning the engine on, the car made a purring sound, that feels good to listen to. This car is awesome, I might just modify it, never mind simple is better.

If you're wondering if I may not know how to drive a car. I know how to drive a car because my father has been taught by my grandfather. My grandfather is the best at driving because he drives a lot and has a lot of knowledge of vehicles. I don't know how he got knowledgeable in driving, but I am glad he did. Because he taught my father how to drive. And they both taught me how to drive a car and my old motorcycle.

Anyway, I'm more qualified to drive a car, and my driver's license said so. So without further a do I drove the car up to the gate and wondered how would I open the gate. And as I am about to go outside of the car and figure out how to open the gate I saw a remote-looking thing in the dashboard of the car and took it. It looks like a remote for something. And of course, being curious I pressed some buttons. Of course, as I pressed the big button, then the gate opened itself slowly.

'So the gate is automatic' I thought as the gate is completely opened. Good to know, I then proceed to drive the car out of the gate. And then I pressed the same button again and the gate closed again by itself. Well, that is convenient, very convenient in the fact that I don't need to exit the car or any vehicle I would drive just to open the gate.

Then I drive the car to my school and as I was driving I noticed on the dashboard of the car, the gas gauge is quite low. So I opt to pass to a gasoline station and put some gas in the gas tank. When I arrived at the gas station the station is quite wide and it was early so I am just the customer. I stopped at the gas pump and a gas attendant attend to me and asked me if I want to refill my gas tank, so I said yes and make it a full tank.

After refilling the gas I thank the pump attendant and gave him the money to pay for the gas. I mean It's better to refill your gas tank in a full tank than to refile it whenever you are low. Because the gas prices may spike and when that happens the gas you will buy after the price hike will be more expensive, so it's better to buy more early than buy less and more expensive later.

Anyway, I arrived at the gate of the school "Good morning miss." a guard greeted me as I arrived and stopped at the gate, and then they proceeded to inspect my car with that mirror stick they have. They also asked me to open the trunk, which I did by just pressing a button. then they said its all good and gave me a parking ticket which I would need to pay later.

Driving to the parking lot I looked for a free space parking, and I just saw a lot of space, because it was still early so I parked near the entrance of the parking lot. Then I got out of the car and took my bags with me and got out of the car. before getting out of the car I had debat4ed that should I lock and take the keys with me, I usually leave them in the vehicle because in my original world there was this guard in the parking lot who I know and he just guards those vehicles in the parking lot and he knows that I always leave the keys.

But then this reality is still different than my original one, so just to be safe I took the key and locked the car. I then produced to walk to the classroom I am assigned according to the timetable I have. Walking up to my classroom I encountered no other students or teachers or even staff, I mean it was still early but this is not expected because its the first day of the academic year and I expected that there were a lot of students and teachers and staff who are early to start the year.

But then the only living thigh I encountered on the way was a stray cat, which is quite cute because the cat has these big round expressive eyes that is cute to look at. Anyway, arriving at where my classroom is located on the third floor of a building that has a quite grand-looking entrance. As I walk up to the stairs and up to my classroom I spotted a student sitting on the stairs.

And the first thing I noticed about her is that she is quite big, like bigger than me in height and width. She is like those big chubby girls who party a lot. She has black hair that reaches her shoulder and a round face with a few pimples and acne here and there, she wore a shirt with a heavy metal design and jeans that is I think a bit tight on her. She saw me walk up to her and I'm not an introvert so I waved and smiled at her and started to ask her questions.

"Hello! I'm Rin, what's your name?' I asked her as I sat next to her and as a comparison, she is like a head taller than me and twice my width. She smiled at me and spoke to me with a bit heavy voice that kind of a feeling like she doesn't want to be in college. "Hello there too, the name's Aisha, nice to meet you Rin," Compared to her appearance the way she talked to me felt like we could be friends fast.

So I asked her another question. "What year are you Aisha, are you a first-year too? What section are you Aisha?" She giggled and answered me "Yes I'm a first year too, I'm in CSA1, You?" She answered me and asked me a question, to which I respond "I'm in CSA1 too, nice we are classmates!"

She giggled again and said. "I'm sorry, it's just the way you talk it's like a cat purring and it feels like you're about to assert your dominance but it comes out adorable." She told me while she is still giggling. 'Ohhh' I thought is that how I talk to like I talk that way? How embarrassing to be talking like that, never mind is all good and I think that's a compliment so I'll accept that.

Anyway, she stopped laughing and giggling. And apologized to me. "Sorry, It's just so cute I can squeeze your cheek." Really now, well at least I made a friend today, so I told her, "Well I don't think I'm cute just average." I told her and she said. "No really your really cute, and pretty, just the best blend of cuteness and prettiness. I'm quite jealous actually.

She is jealous of me, is this normal for girls, I mean when I was still a boy when my few friends told me I'm cute, I just curse them and told them that they are lying. So this experience of being complimented by a girl is a new experience for me, and I might just have to thank her and well maybe compliment her too.

"Thank you, and your pretty too, and you exclude this aura of a carefree and outgoing person who has a lot of friends and can have fun anywhere and anytime, so its very opposite to me who is a bit of an introvert and don't have a lot of friends. So Would you like to be friends with me?" I asked her, and she just laughed and told me.

"Of course, we can be friends!" She told me and I'm overjoyed because I had made a friend on the first day of the academic year and as a girl at that. I mean I may never imagine that I would make friends fast as a girl compared to when I was a boy. As a boy, the way I did make friends is thru gaming and playing games and having the same things in common.

And never once I imagined making friends as simple as greeting them and complementing them. Or is it just me who doesn't know the art of making friends, because all my friends are either in different schools or other places? So this new novel experience is very good for my confidence. So for this academic year, I would try to befriend a lot of my classmates and other people and not be an introvert again same as in my high school years.

During my senior years, I was that kid who comes early at school and goes home early, but I'm not a total introvert, I had friends you know, and maybe more than a few but I really feel out of place with them because they are more intelligent than me and sometimes we even cheat as a team in the exams, but sometimes I have the answer they don't and they have the answer I don't.

So overall I'm just not confident in my people skills so I'm just content with what I have like one or two friends who I stay in contact with after high school, but now they are in different schools, so I'm solo in this school and don't have any friends I know or even people I know that will make this new school a bit familiar to me.
