CHAPTER 3. YUNA

I was so confused when I failed that. First time. I never failed essay or any works in japanese literature! How did he dare? He thinks that he's important here? Hell, nah. I was frustrated and annoyed at him, because his cold gaze was on me then, unreadable look and his words...

"In this world, emotions mean nothing."

I didn't even expected these words. It was as if something broke into me with a knife. Right in the heart. Previously, my teachers in Korea taught me, and praised me for each work, without single complaint about my studies. But him... He was so difficult. I wonder if he has someone close to him or maybe he's loner either? That would be obvious. I just walked through corridors at the university. Directly to the exit. On my shoulder was my backpack. I just lazily walked. The corridor was full of students who going home and teachers, too. But my eyes looked around as looking for someone... And that person is Aurora, my friend. Maybe bestie? But not yet. I saw her walking to the exit too, but alone. She seems without a friend right now. I decided to get closer to her. "Hey, Aurora!" I yelled because I was far from her. At least, she looks behind as soon blond sees me, she runs towards me with huge smile on her face. "Hi! How was class!?" she asks cheerfully. "Ah, normally... Just some mistakes, etc," I replied as soon she hugs me. Aurora was a little taller than me, only 5-10 cm, but she still teases me because of my short height. I usually get annoyed at her teasing manner. "Ow, you became more shorty, you know?" she suddenly says as if serious. "I know, no need to mention it, at least," I said being annoyed as crossed my arms on my chest. Looking at her with annoyed look, but she knows I'm not seriously pissed off at her. Blond girl just smiles at me as now turned the topic to other. "Hey, also why did you call me?", " Ah... I just wanted to talk about something, heh," I replied nervously. Feeling embarrassed, I'm obviously feeling how I look. "Okay, um... I called you because that sensei you said... What's his name, gosh," I can't believe, I just now forgot my curator's name. "Haha! He's Ken Takeo, you already forgot? Ow, girl," she says as if pretending as she got disgusted but Aurora then chuckles. "What's funny here, though," I asked, being confused. "Because how can you forget your sensei's name, you're really dummy, at least cute dummy!" she says as pokes my cheek with her index finger. It made me feel like... A kid. I can remember how my parents, relatives did this to me! It was so annoying. However I just showed annoyed look at her. "Okay, back to the theme... He is strange really. I correctly wrote my essay, but he says that isn't enough and wrong! But why? I can't understand!","Oh... Someone is feisty, aren't we? I have already told you that he's strict and very responsible man, oh I mean," she got embarrassed a little as she now quickly speaks up, "Ah, no no! Strict and very responsible sensei... Hehe," blond girl smiles awkwardly. I just stared at her with confused look while walking down on the street. "You're strange either," I spoke as it made her dumbfounded. "Okay, okay, I got it. No need to struggle," I replied, looking at her calm, neutral face. Aurora seems remembered something as she gestured to me to get closer. I obeyed that she gestures as it meant that you both want hugs. We hugged eachother tightly as if we are going to leave. After we hugged each other, she lets me go and I let her go too. "I can't believe that sensei of yours is really, really, really iceberg! He's quite not even gentle, I wish I would slap him on face," I said what my mind says. "Pfft, are you serious? I already told you that he's not easy person to deal with. You have to be patient with him, okay? Hahah," she just laughs at me. I rolled my eyes at Aurora and she smirks. "Hey, that's not even funny," "But it is! Your expression looks so funny when you talk about him, maybe you got crush on him?" she asks as smirking. "What?! Hell no... I would never like him, especially my teacher," I protested. "Yeah yeah, right," she says, not very believing. But it was true.

After our talk we gone to our ways to home. She went to left side and me to right side. I just walked through the streets. Not caring about anything, minding my own business. Then I saw black Ferrari. I didn't see who is the driver, but when that car goes past me, I saw someone familiar... It was, of course Ken Takeo, my teacher. Not very easy one. I just rolled my eyes and walked to the pedestrian road to go to the dormitory. It was already in front of me. I noticed that he didn't notice me back. At least, good. Now I came in my dorm, as soon as I flopped on my bed. "Ugh... I'm so tired," I mumbled and after few minutes finally fell asleep.

When I woke up, I saw that was already morning, 7 AM. At least I'm not late. I got up from the bed, but still holding my blanket in hand, because not wanting to let it go. But I have to. The university is waiting for me. I finally let it go, as soon I dressed and studied some homeworks before I go to the university. This time I decided to wear a little more feminine, as I wore white turtleneck, black sweater vest with black long skirt with cut to my thigh. By the way, I bought that skirt when I was in Korea. But still looks as new cloth. I admired my today's outfit and took my backpack with books, notebooks. I left the dormitory at 7:29 when I looked at my watch which is on my right wrist. "Phew, I'll be on time," I sighed. When I came in the audience, I saw Aurora first. She was pretty... As me! Ok, I have high self esteem,so what? Fine, it doesn't matter. There was a beautiful shirt with short skirt in her. She finally notices me as blond girl smiles and waved her hand to me. She was with her friend circle, I didn't know about them, since they looked so cool... So pretty, even boys in the group look so handsome. I never thought about getting closer to her friend circle. "Hey, Yuna! Here," she says. I looked so confused, dumbfounded. I didn't have any friends, except her, but for now,since it's first days at the university. With slow steps I walked closer to them, feeling nervousness in my heart. "Hi... Who are they?" I whispered to her. "Ah, let me introduce my friends," Aurora smiles as now first pointed at pretty, tall boy with brown hair with her index finger. "This is Rin," as she points at other boy who is shorter a little, with blond hair, "And he is Kei," Aurora says with smile on her lips. As she now turns to her female friends... They're two either as the boys. "This is Sakura and Stella," as one girl has dyed &black hair and another one has very curly brownish hair with tan skin. I waved my hand at them as sign of greetings. As I was confident, I smiled at them. "Hehe, hello there," says that curly-head girl with friendly smile on her face. "Hi," both boys said to me. "Wow, I didn't see such a pretty girl like you," says Kei, seems he's a little flirty. "Oi, don't show your dumb side," tall boy Rin says as annoyed. While these boys are talking, two girls along with Aurora turned to me as now smiled friendly. "Hey, you're really pretty! I like your hair!" cheers Sakura with wide smile on her face. "Haha, really! I like your style," says Stella, american girl, maybe? Because, her name sounds like this. "Oh, thanks, you're both beautiful too," I replied as feeling embarrassed because of many compliments, but still calm. "I hope we will get closer and be besties, right?" Aurora says to her friends and looks back at me. I nodded. They nodded their hands happily, too. At least they're not some bullies as if in american movie. It would be hillarious, haha! And the most important thing is now the university. Bell rings as sign of starting classes. "Seems we are going to die together," Sakura says as now remembering now his lesson... Japanese literature. Yes, quite troublesome. "I haven't done my homework, hehe," american girl replies with cheeky also silly smile on her lips. "Yeah," Aurora just agrees and I nodded. We all went into class together. But unfortunately, Ken Takeo, literature teacher was already here. I caught his icy cold teal eyes gazing at us. He was so serious as if he's absolutely stone. "Why are you late," he asked with his special serious tone. "Uh... We, we were," Aurora starts, but not knowing how to reply. "We didn't have time to go on time," I replied instead of her, gathering confidence. He didn't say anything but with his hand gestures us to go to our desk, so he could continue the lesson. "Open page 12 and write down the topic of the lesson," he speaks while looking down at the literature textbook.
