THREE DAYS LATER.
The school grounds felt different that evening (Friday) brighter, livelier. For days, everyone talked about Freshers' Night, and now the lights were finally switching on one by one. First-year students gathered in small groups, fixing their hair, adjusting their outfits, and whispering excitedly. Some allumi, Old students and a few Third-year students stood as a guide —directing, setting, answering questions and having fun themselves.
When the music started, people slowly moved toward the hall, smiling shyly at each other. It isn't only a party, it is a welcome, an invitation to begin something new together.
The lights dim, the crowd settles, and the speakers, the Student Union President steps onto the stage. "Welcome, freshmen! Tonight's officially your first taste of university life, so relax, meet people, and let's make this year unforgettable! After preparing for what comes with being in a university" after he left, the crowd clapped with a smile. While everyone was making noise in their own way, a spotlight blinked to the front, catching the student host mid-shuffle with her cue cards.
She cleared her throat, tapped the mic, and gave the crowd a gentle and awkward smile.
"Okay… uh… hello everyone!" she said, trying to sound confident even though she was clearly two seconds from bolting away. "Welcome to Freshers' Night! Whether you're here for the snacks, the music, or because someone dragged you,anything… we're glad you made it."
The sound of laughter rolled through the room. She glanced backstage, nodded, then lifted her shoulders like 'let's just get this over with'. "We've got performances, a bunch of games, and yes, we'll release you onto the dance floor eventually. But first…" she paused as the big screen behind her flickered on, "…let's officially kick things off."
The crowd leaned in as the intro video started, glowing lights reflecting in their eyes, the music swelling just enough to feel like the night was finally waking up.
Freshers' Night had officially begun. In the video it shows the whole University, the Administration building, Lecture halls for each course, Faculty offices, Library so big that it occupies over 300,000 books, Laboratory buildings, Auditorium, Cafeteria, dormitories that makes you feel you're living in luxury, gym and many more. Then the screen went blank for a while before bringing back its light again and this time showing past gone students and old ones. It shows events, funny times and all. And the crowd was enjoying it. After minutes, the screen went blank. Then the crowd saw the same lady who had addressed them.
"Once again, hello. By the way, I forgot to mention my name. I'm Shin Na-ri, recently appointed as the Orientation Leader. I'm in my final year too. I wish you all luck. So next, it's going to be a song played for you and a dance too. So, you guys know RUB!K right?" she paused for a reply and got excitement, shock, expectations and more."they are here"
After hours the song was played and the game was over. They danced too. Yu-ri was getting super tired and was planning on leaving. On her way, someone bumped into her. "…?!" she looked at the person who seemed so apologetic, it was Sylvia. "I'm so sorry" Yu-ri didn't reply which made her even more tense. Also, it was going to leave a stain as it is not water but wine on a white cloth! " I'm really sorry"
"Sure?" Yuri paused. "What were you thinking? I can't go on walking like this, you know?" She said calmly. "I saw some clean costumes in an arts building, it's not far from here, please I'm sorry" she waited for Yu-ri to reply and Yu-ri just nodded. And she started walking towards the arts building. She looked back only to see that Sylvia was following her.
"Why are you following me?"
" Huh?... I'm… I know you're mad at me. But If you need my help there plus I want to wash them for you, sorry" she was acting like this because she knew the cloth was one of the trending clothes worth many dollars and she knew she couldn't pay for that amount. Yu-ri was wearing a thick hoodie made of plain soft white material and then a black jean baggie trouser. Both are brands from 'FLA.RE' an expensive brand that's top on in good quality and high price.
"You don't have to follow me"
"I do, I know how much the clothes cost. So, when you change I'll take them and wash it" Yu-ri just nodded. Sylvia couldn't tell what she was thinking, it is hard to read her expression when the only thing on her face is a small smile that is just her normal reaction every time and everywhere. As they walked, ever so awkward and silently they finally reached the arts building. They both walked in the room in the Arts building where the clothes and costumes are kept. Yu-ri turned on the lights and went in and Sylvia followed. They both looked for where the clothes were stored. And Sylvia found it.
"Here it is," Sylvia said. Yu-ri walked to where she was and went through the cloth and saw a Half-zip jacket she took it out to wear. Sylvia just stood like a puppy beside her. Yu-ri lifted up her clothes (the one she's currently wearing) and then suddenly she looked at Sylvia "are you going to watch? I don't have a problem with it though" Sylvia cheeks went red, she didn't notice she was staring until she was told she tried looking away in embarrassment and this time Yu-ri smiled but in a different way in a way that says interesting or she found Sylvia's reaction cute. She gently took off her hoodie and left her with only a tube top. Yu-ri is not just any being, she's a dragon, her body is different. She has a beautiful hourglass shape, she has a sexy body. And she takes her hoodie off, leaving the tube top. The tube top made half her breast show. She smiled at Sylvia who was currently trying to look away. Yu-ri walked closer to Sylvia, her front side facing her, she was half way putting on the new shirt she just got from the art room. Sylvia looked away.
"What's wrong?"
"My hair… it's stuck in the zipper help me with it" Sylvia tried helping her Innocently not even thinking it was part of a flirt which pissed and amazed Yu-ri more, How innocent is this girl. After seconds she was able to get her hair off the zipper and Yu-ri left the hoodie down on the desk and went out leaving Sylvia. Meanwhile, Sylvia took the clothes and shoved it in her bag.
