The wind howling and the crisp yellow, red and orange leaves are either surfing through the cold air or crunching down on the ground. It was a start of another school year. New faces, new places and new memories to make, but someone begged to differ. 

His messy hair got in the way of his big round eyes and glasses, his grey jacket a little too big for him, but that's how he likes it. He wore his backpack with an arm and a few papers as he walked towards the stairs of his new home for 3 years.

Truthfully, he never wanted to go to college, but it was for his family's sake. He never expected to have a scholarship in such a prestigious school and he never expected to even agree to it.

"I'm Dara by the way." She smiled, "Should we go to the clinic?" She lightly wrapped her hands on his arm to help him up.

"Uh... no thanks." He mumbled, but audible enough so she could hear.

"Well...
