First step

Up and down. That's how fast a human feeling can change. No human can live without feeling and feeling can effect how people live.

Feeling can drive people to live with a new energy but feeling can push people will to do crime without any clear thought.

All fall in one decision.

Whether people choose to do things right or wrong, once decide one can only face the consequences of their acts.

To face what problem in front of her, that's what Li Yu believe as the right step. Walking into the College gate, Li Yu dressed in gray jacket and a black cap while dragging her luggage.

New Semester will start tomorrow, that's why Li Yu need to go back to her dorm, clean up the messy room and prepare for the class.

It's Li Yu second year as an Economy Faculty student. All that happened at her Summer Holiday feels like a dream, or more like a real nightmare.

For some people, the holidays didn't change anything but for some others and her, this time is one of unforgettable pain. The proverb about one second can change people life is true.

Along the road into the dorm, Li Yu pass a few people that give curious glance towards her but Li Yu ignore it. In fifteen minutes Li You arrived at her room. Looking at her front door, Li Yu take a breath and put in the key with the pug key chain.

After opening the door what came into her view is the two story bed with blue and green decorations. It's quiet inside so Li Yu sure that her roommate wasn't there. Relieved that she's alone, she drag her luggage in and start to clean up the room. Done unpacking her luggage, Li Yu take her towel and take a bath.

Fifteen minutes later, wrapped in towel Li Yu grab the door to get out from the bathroom. But halfway a hand reach her hand from the outside and pull her. Li Yu shocked and screamed kyaaa....

"Boo... Ahahahaha... Look at how stupid your expression look like." said the brown hair girl while hugging the tense LiYu.

"Huh? " sensing something amiss, the girl blink her eyes and stare at Li Yu. In the girl eyes, Li Yu wrap in towel cough I mean the towel can't hide the missing left hand.

"cough... Xia Fei you didn't change huh. Still So childish. Don't stare at me anymore, let me change clothes first." Li Yu smile faintly.

"hmm.. uhuh.. ah right you go change first. Ahahaha.. I need to go to toilet." the girl laugh awkwardly, run and close the door quickly.

Li Yu looking back at the close door and only can sigh. Sooner or later the truth will be revealed so she need to ready her heart to talk with her roommate about her conditions.

Thirty minutes later...

" Knock knock knock... Hey how long will you stay there. Come out and let's talk. I'll wait in the bed. "

"Okay... " replied the girl.

Waiting in the bed, Li Yu look at her roommate slowly walking to her and sit in front of her.

Facing each other, the scene a bit awkward and quiet. No one start to talk and keep staring at each other.

Li Yu sigh once again and open her mouth first. " Don't you want to ask me anything? I'll tell you what you want to know."

The girl unsure what she should ask about then said, "That's... err.. Are you okay? "

" No, I'm not. As you can see I lost my left hand. But everything will be alright. You know what kind of girl I am, right? "

" Right, that's good then, I'm sure this won't tripped you down. Err. then.. then what your parents said? For them to let you come here to finished your study, they must believe you are strong enough and can make it. " cheer the girl to Li Yu.

Hearing that Li Yu smile faintly then said "Yeah.. If they are alive, I'm sure they will nag and ask me to continue and finished what I started. Xia Fei, I got accident last summer and lost my parents too. This things I hope you keep it to yourself and don't tell others. I don't want to be the topic of people's gossip."

" This thing I know it, don't think too much ah. If you need my help don't be shy and tell me oh." said Xia Fei.

" Oh. I know. " Li Yu feels gratitude to have such an understanding friend and roommate. Since she can hide her weakness to the stranger but it's hard to keep it unknown to people who closest to her.

"Yuyu, it's already dinner time, Let's go to cafeteria. It's been awhile since we eat together hehehe.. I'll help you bring the food later. " said Xia Fei.

" Oh.. coming.. " Li Yu wrap herself with her black long scarf to hide her left hand. After make sure everything looks ok in front of the mirror, they go out to eat.

*****

In the Cafeteria...

As always nothing can change Li Yu appetite for food. Above the table, there are chicken soup, a plate of seafood fried rice with sausages, Two types of dim sum, and two slice of cakes for dessert. Meanwhile Xia Fei only have a plate of fried rice and a slice of cake for her dinner. Two girls with the same body shape but different appetites. God knows where has all that food gone.

After eating they talk about how class will start tomorrow and how tiring it is when the teacher start giving them homework.

All looks fine but unknown to Li Yu the news about her start to spread around the class and college.
