Episode 8 - A New Friend Made


Pak Salleh dropped me at the entrance of the college. Oh God, this college is huge. I took a deep breath and entered the school. I pray that this would be a good day.

I still got 15 minutes left until lecture starts but I’m still strolling around finding the lecture theatre. Ltn5. How far can you be? I seek the signage for help. Guess they will be the best of help throughout my 3 years here.

“Hi you seem a bit lost? I haven’t see you around. First year? Need any help,” a blonde hair guy with blue guy approached me. But oh wow, he got so many questions and I’m not sure which question to answer. Keep calm Nisa.

“Yes I just want to know where is LTN5?”I think this would be the best question, right? Or maybe not.

“Just take an escalator up and turn left,” He smiled at me. Those shining white teeth. Oh god, he is so charming. Okay Nisa, snap out of it. So yes escalator up and turn left.

I smiled and said “Thanks”.

Well this is a good start. My day is starting good.
Entered the theatre with mix feelings. I wonder how am I going to get used of not sitting with Irma during class.With little confidence, I picked the seat the at most back. Easy to doze off too. Well I think lecturers like to spot those at the back.

A curly brown hair again took the seat beside me. As soon as she settled down, she turn to me and smiled.

“Hi I’m Adelyn. Nice to meet you.  You are?”

“Nisa. I’m from Singapore. Nice to meet you too. Are you a local in New York?”

“Yup, I am a local here. Singapore is a good country. What class are you from?” She asked me.

“I am from BM1. What about you?”

“Ohmy! We are going to be classmates! I am BM1 too!!” she gave me this wide smile.

“Let’s be friends!” I said. First day of school and I made a new friend! Yay me!

The lecturer gave a hint that he is starting the lecture soon. Okay let’s do it!
