Chapter one

Amelia walked on the school field as novice as ever, looking around the large place, and at different students walking, and introducing themselves in their orientation.

She was scared knowing her time here, she could just be a loner. No friends. No one to talk to.

She sighed, and decided to search for her faculty to get her documents, and school ID.

She saw it written on a small board with senior students attending to freshmen, so she went forward with a low smile on her face, but a bit hidden since she was putting on a black hoodie. "Hi."

The students looked at her. "Who are you?" A female student asked.

She gulped. "A..Amelia. Amelia West."

They were trying to get a good look on her, but she kept her face hidden under the hood. What's she hiding?

"Is this your major course?"

Amelia raised a head a little, and looked at the board that's written chemistry on it, and she nodded. "It is."

They gave her a weird look, and nodded searching through some documents, and indeed they saw her name. They gave her an ID, and some documents.

She took it, and uttered a thank you before leaving.

"She's weird." One of them commented.

Another one nodded. "Indeed. In school, there's always a weird one."

Amelia looked around wanting to recognize her fellow course mates. She knew how they look like thanks to the passports placed on the admission list.

And then her eyes caught one, and from there others....apparently, they all met each other.

She sighed having cold feet to walk towards them. She took a step, and then another. They were two boys, and three girls talking together. She had to say, the girls were beautiful, and it bothered her a bit.

One of the girls caught her staring at them with raised brow. Amelia was already a bit close without realization.

"Who are you?"

The question brought her to reality. They all looked at her, and was taken aback by her appearance. She was looking small, wearing a tight jean, and black hoodie on top. "Geez."

"H..hi." She stuttered, her heart pounding on her chest.

They looked at her ID with narrowed eyes, and at each other. "You're from the chemistry department too?" A boy asked.

Amelia nodded. "Yeah. I am."

"What's your name?" A blonde girl asked.

"Amelia West."

A boy among them blinked. "Oh. Oh yeah. I saw that name. She's the girl with no ID."

Amelia nodded. "Yeah."

"Why are you hiding your face?" A brown-haired girl just had to ask since it was kinda bothering.

Amelia gulped. "I, um, I just..."

"You guys are all in chemistry department, right?"

Their focus immediately diverted to the one who spoke. It was a very elegant red-haired girl. Her face was an epitome of beauty that it made the boys drool at her sight.

"Uh, yeah." A raven haired girl answered seeing as the boys are now hypnotized.

Amelia looked at the girl, and was also astounded, but she quickly looked away not wanting to be a freak.

"I'm Kelly Roland. Nice to meet you guys." The beautiful girl introduced.

"Hi. I'm Jonah Ford." Jonah brought his hand out.

Kelly looked at it with a slight frown, but shook it anyways.

"And I'm Dolph O'Brian. Nice to meet you too." The other guy introduced making the girls roll their eyes, their gaze brought back to Amelia. She looked freaky.

"Are you agoraphobic? Or do you have any phobia of some sort?" The blonde girl questioned.

Kelly looked at the girl, and saw she was really looking weird, and fragile.

"Uh, not really." Amelia answered.

They just nodded not seeing a reason to dig deeper.

"We should start heading towards the bus. I want this orientation done, and dusted." The raven-haired girl spoke.

The blonde girl nodded. "Yeah, me too, Spencer. Let's go." They looked at Amelia. "Follow us."

Amelia immediately nodded, and followed them.

---

They entered into the Choice hall which looked to be very huge, and contained a lot of seats. There was a huge screen in front of them, and they walked to take their seats.

"There are so many pretty girls this year, Finn." Richard said looking around as they stood in a corner in the huge hall, but Finn wasn't listening. He was just busy looking around with narrowed eyes.

"Finn." Richard called knowing he wasn't listening.

Finn looked at him with a disappointed sigh. "I gotta go. Got things to attend, ASAP."

Richard just rolled his eyes, and watched as he strode out the hall. He knew why he's like that.

Kelly's mouth widened at the perfect figure walking towards where she stood since she had to stop walking. His both hands shoved in his pocket. He was on all black. "Oh shit." He was looking so handsome, rich, his black hair perfectly styled, and his eyes....as he walked closer, she...she saw his eyes...it was...blue...electric blue. He's like the god of beauty. "OMG, someone as perfect is in this university?" She asked to no one in particular.

Finn's eyes caught her, but he immediately looked away, and walked past her shocked appearance.

She blinked, and turned towards his retreating back. "Okay, who's he? I really need to know who's he?"

"Don't look too much?" Someone said behind her making her look out of shock.

"Wh...what?"

"He's far-fetched. Not a fish you can catch. It's a warning." The girl told her.

Kelly blinked. "Why is it impossible?"

"I'm your senior, so I know. For your safety, and in order to pass these four years without problems, look away." The senior said, and left her looking astounding.

Kelly scoffed at the words. "Seriously?" It was obvious the senior liked him too, and was feeling threatened by her appearance. She smirked knowing one mission of hers will be to get that boy, and be popular like she always wanted.

"So,.." Amelia began feeling kinda nervous. She looked at the raven-haired girl who sat at her right. "You're Spencer Watson..."

Spencer nodded with a smile. "Yeah."

She turned to the blonde at her left. "And you're Bethany Cooper."

Bethany smiled. "Yup."

Amelia nodded. "Wow. Nice names."

"Your name is nice too, although why hiding yourself?" Spencer asked curiously.

Amelia shook her head. "I'm not hiding myself. Just have a syndrome issue." She confessed.

"Oh." They both understood. "But be careful though, the issue might not be much of a help to you. Especially in a department as ours." Beth advised.

Amelia sighed lowly knowing she was right, and nodded. "I'll try."

The screen immediately flashed, and then an older face emerged.

"It's starting." Beth stated the obvious.

---

Amelia looked as they all circled themselves for introduction, her heart couldn't help but beat painfully. She didn't know why she was feeling this way.

Her whole body was completely restless. How would she stand up from the floor, walk to the middle, and introduce herself to her department, and seniors?

"Um, everyone listen up." A female student stood up. "I'm Charity Young, and I'm a sophomore. I'm welcoming you all freshmen, and also to let you know I'm approachable, a good friend, and I can treat you guys...."

"Hmm. Hmm." A guy coughed out giving Charity a raised brows.

Charity rolled her eyes, and sat back down on the ground.

Another female student stood up, and introduced herself, and after that...

"Why isn't he here? He's meant to be here?" The student president asked.

Richard shook his head. "You know he's a busy person. One way or another, they're gonna know who he is."

The president nodded without choice, and looked back at the freshmen. "I'm James Anderson. Your student president." He introduced, and they all clapped their hands.

"And I'm...."

Everyone's attention got to the handsome looking blonde-haired man.

"I'm Richard Hart. A final year student, and general faculty president. I'm welcoming you, and telling you to feel at ease when you want to approach, and ask a question." He said with a firm manly voice.

"He's so handsome." Beth couldn't stop staring.

Kelly also couldn't stop staring, but she had her eyes on one man, but disappointed to see he wasn't anywhere around.

But all through, Amelia's heart was beating profusely. She was damn scared. It felt like the introduction has full ownership over her life, and she hated it. Why can't she just be bold?

Spencer could notice her fear, and wondered why it was that way. She sighed, and decided to face back towards the seniors.

"Okay. Now that we're done, you freshmen should begin." The student president gave the go ahead.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering who will go first. You could see the nervousness in some of their faces.

Kelly rolled her eyes, and decided to stand up.

"Oohhhh." Everyone hyped her boldness.

A lot of boys eyes couldn't leave her. Their eyes were filled with love as they creepily stared at her.

She stood inside the circle. "I'm Kelly Roland, a freshman...." She said looking around.

"She's really pretty." A boy told his friend.

Charity sighed staring at her. "She's definitely gonna be the popular girl this year. It irks me."

"I know it's hard being a university student, and it's a promise to work very hard, but I also I'm obliged to make friends...."

"So pretty!" A guy suddenly shouted.

Kelly just smiled, and looked at the weird girl whom she saw earlier. For some reason, she felt like doing something to her. "Um, thanks for that, but I'm sure I'm not the only pretty one here. There are probably more beautiful girls who hides their beauty."

Amelia looked up as that statement was made.

"No way." Someone commented.

"Who's gonna hide a beautiful face? It's something to be proud of." A guy made known.

Kelly chuckled. "Right." She looked at Amelia. "Why don't you come introduce yourself?"

Amelia blinked, and looked as all eyes turned on her. 'Oh God. No no. No way. Why is this happening to me?' She was spiraling. Her heart leapt to her throat.

"Come on." Kelly urged her.

"Is she really beautiful?" A girl asked.

"Nah I doubt that. Ugly people are the ones who hides their faces." Another girl replied.

"Maybe she's got a scar." Someone close to Spencer said, and it made Spencer sighed.

Spencer stood up. "Since you're done introducing yourself, then go sit down."

Kelly's nice expression dropped, her mouth twitched at the disrespect. How dare she?

Spencer ignored her expression, and extended her hand towards Amelia. "Why don't we introduce ourselves together?"

Amelia blinked in surprise, and looked around. Everywhere was just quiet. She looked at the hand extended to her, and was deeply thankful to Spencer for the save.

A smile formed on her lips and she took her hand, standing up. They both walked to the middle of the circle. Her head lowered.

"I'm Spencer Watson. Nice to meet you guys." She looked at Amelia. "Your turn."

Amelia rose her head a little. "I...I'm Amelia West. Nice knowing you guys."

"She's got a pretty voice, but what's she hiding?" James asked himself.

"Let's go." Spencer told Amelia, and they both left back to sit on the floor.

Amelia let out a shaky breath as it was done, and dusted. Her fear was slowly erasing. She can now calm.

Kelly was throwing shooting glares at Spencer, and Amelia. She couldn't help but feel humiliated at how she was treated.

After a while, the introduction ended, and they immediately started the freshman party.

Amelia didn't involve herself in it that much, but it was fun. She smiled in some areas. Everyone was jubilating. Having fun. It was nice.

She nodded seeing in no time the day will be over, and proud of herself for getting to this stage. Somehow, if no one put their attention on her, she'll be able to pass the four years without a breeze.
