Chapter 2

Hazel's POV

Finally, the first day of campus life. All the freshmen are currently enjoying the campus tour, led by a few of our seniors. And since Kat is in her third year, I need to start looking for another cool person who would be nice enough to talk to me first.

Making friends; The first things on the bucket list given by the doctor. I let out a deep sigh, already missing Kat's annoying voice.

"Yo.." A voice suddenly said from behind me. I turn back to face that very voice.

"I'm Keisha." She adds, with a smile.

Thank you, lord!

"Hazel." I replied, smiling back.

"So, campus tour huh." She said with a sigh, as both of us continued to walk, following the crowd of the freshman.

"Alright freshies, so for this slot, we're going to divide you into four teams." One of the seniors suddenly said, basically yelling.

Figured. With all this crowd, if it was me, I'd be losing my mind already.

"The library, registrar's office, fitness center, and the student center-" He continues.

"Ugg. This is ridiculous, can't we just go back to the dorm already?" Someone from Keisha's behind said.

I looked at the figure, and it really took me by surprise.

"Oh my god... is she-" I said, still staring. Keisha let out a little chuckle upon seeing my face.

"Yup. We're twins, identical twins." Keisha said.

"Hi. I'm Keira... the fun one." Keira said to me, as she laughed watching Keisha roll her eyes in annoyance.

"Let me rephrase that for you Hazel, meet Keira, the boring one." Keisha corrected. I laughed a little as Keira huffed upon hearing Keira's statement.

"No, I'm not." Keira said.

"Yes, you are." Keisha replied.

"Am not!"

"You are!"

I watch them both, amused. Both of them are literally fighting in the middle of this crowd. I chuckle a little, as I stand there in the middle of them. This is my first time seeing identical twins in real life.

Both of them have that blonde’s hair, but Keisha's hair is shorter when compared to Keira's.

"AM NOT!!"

"YES, YOU ARE!!"

"Oh my, guys?? Could we just-" I said to the both of them, pointing my finger towards the crowd which is currently divided into four. Some went to the library, some went to the registrar's office, fitness center, and a group of the crowd went to the student's center.

"So, shall we??" I add.

"Ugh... let's get this done with." Keira said, not really a fan of this whole campus-tour thing.

"It's nice to meet you, Keira... I'm Hazel." I said to her, as she suddenly held my wrist, taking me slowly away from Keisha.

"Let's go, Hazel. The fun one is going to lead you on a campus tour!" Keira said. Both me and Keisha just laugh, following her.

**************

As we walked together to the student center, it turned out that Keira is also taking the same major as me.

How great is that? I even got myself to already know someone from my class. And since we're taking the same major, almost all of our classes are the same.

Lucky me.

"Mic test... mic test..." A voice suddenly said. All of us are focused on looking at the small stage in the middle of the student center. A lot of girls are cheering for him, as he stands there looking straight to the freshman's direction.

Our direction.

"Guys, give a warm welcome to our freshies of this year please-" He said, as some of the boys were getting excited, playfully hitting the tables like it was some drums, screaming, and even whistling.

I deeply prayed to God that I will survive this. Not really a fan of the loud crowd, though.

"Student center? What a joke... looks like a circus to me." Keisha whispers, as I laugh upon hearing her statement.

It did though.

And the way all of them keep calling us freshies is getting on my nerves.

"That guy's hot..." Keira suddenly said.

I look around to where she is currently staring at. He is. But not as-

Fuck. Why the hell am I thinking about that idiot??

"Welcome to the hub of social life at The University of Chicago!" That hot guy which Keira just landed her eyes on adds, as all of the students clap their hands.

"Fucking hot." Keira said again, with her eyes still glued on him. Keisha let out a deep sigh, shaking her head like Keira is a lost cause.

"He's an ass-" One of the freshmen suddenly said, who is now standing beside Keisha.

I let out a little gasp, surprised by his sudden appearance. Be calm, Hazel.

Be calm... It's normal though with all of this crowd. What do you expect? A door in the middle of nowhere where every guy needs to knock it first before they start talking?

"So, save yourself from a heartbreak from the ass and-"

"Does this ass have a name?" Keira asks, cutting him off. Both me and Keisha burst out laughing as we heard her question.

That freshman also chuckles a little. Keira's recklessness clearly amused him.

"Aden Cullen, one of the jerk-asses of Chicago University." He said, as he yawned.

"Aden..." Keira whispers, saying his name in such a seductive manner, more like talking to herself, as she is focused on staring at that Aden Cullen guy.

"One of the jerk-asses? So, there's more?" Keisha asks. I chuckle a little at her question.

Typical jerk-ass. There's always more, the more, the merrier, right?

"No worries, you guys are going to meet all of them soon enough." He replied, with that playful wink on his face.

"I'm Roman, by the way." He adds.

"Keira."

"I'm Keisha, and this horny girl is apparently a relative of mine." Keisha jokingly said.

"Figured." Roman said, chuckling. Clearly, he knew that as both of them are basically the copy-paste version of each other.

"Hazel..." I said to him with a smile.

Well, well, so far, my day is going smoothly. Making friends, right? I even got three strikes. Way to go, Hazel! Keep it up.

"Yup, Hazel. I've already known your name by the way... you're quite famous among the freshies." He said, with that double meaning grins on his face.

"What-" Just as I wanted to ask him more, he cut me off.

What does he mean by that?

"Uh-oh... incoming..." Roman suddenly said, as he was about to run away from there.

"There you are! Roman Cullen!!!" One of the girls, who I assume is not a freshman, is currently walking towards us.

Cullen?? Both Keisha and Keira also look at me with that confused look on their faces.

"Busted..." Roman said to himself.

This guy seriously had some explaining to do.

"I've called you like 10 times." That girl add, currently standing right in front of the four of us.

"Got caught up with all the freshie's campus tour, remember?" Roman sighs. He looks so done with her.

"Yeah, I've figured..." That girl replied, currently looking- or more like scanning the three of us from head to toes with that weird look on her face.

"Aden has been searching for you, get your ass up, and meet him later." She adds, leaving. Not even bother to admit our existence there.

Keira rolls her eyes, as Keisha pretends to puke. I laugh at both of them.

"That's mean, you know." I said between laughs.

"Nah, she deserved that." Roman said, chuckling.

"Who is she anyway?" Keisha asks.

"One of the second-year bimbos, Nina."

"You mean, your bimbos?" Keira asks back, laughing at him.

Just as Roman wanted to reply, Keira cut him off.

"So, Roman Cullen, don't you think you got some explaining to do?"

"Uh-oh..." He chuckles.

"Spill." Keira said, as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"He's my cousin-"

"What??!!" Three of us said in unison.

"But that doesn't change the fact that he's an ass though." He adds, laughing.

Keira punches his shoulder slightly, as Keisha rolls her eyes with annoyance.

"Thanks for the head-ups though Mr. Cousin with an ass-" Keira said, as someone cut her off.

"Who's an ass?"

Stood there, the very hot jerk-ass Aden Cullen. He immediately jumped on Roman playfully, gripping him by his neck.

"I'm totally busted..." Roman breathed.

"Okay, okay! You win!" He adds, between coughs, as he struggles to free himself from his cousin. Aden Cullen chuckles as he gets away from him.

"So, what do we get here?" He changes his focus to the three of us. Starting from Keisha, to horny Keira, and finally landed on me.

"Oh, I know you-" He suddenly said, smirking. Both Keira's and Keisha's eyes went wide, but not as wide as Keira's.

"You knew him???" Keira mouthed silently at me.

"I-"

"Hazel, isn't it ??" Aden Cullen cut me off.

Okay. This is getting weird now. What's up with the Cullens anyway? Just now I swear Roman just fucking had this very same expression when he said he knew me.

"Mic check-" A voice suddenly said from the stage. It only took a few seconds before the crowds went crazy, screaming. Not all the crowds, when I said screaming, it's the girls.

What is wrong with them anyway? This is really a circus.

"Alright, now that I have all your attention, guys would you please help me out-"

I gasp, as I immediately turn around to look at the stage. I know that voice.

And there he is. The idiot from yesterday.

"I am searching for a certain brunette girl-"

That idiot!

Some of the audience- the girls, let out a loud disappointment, huffing, and sighing all over the place.

"With big round eyes-" He continued, I could hear how he nearly chuckled while saying that. I'm glad he finds all of this amusing.

I let out a deep sigh, getting ready to get the hell out from the student center.

Both Roman, and Aden Cullen just stood there clearly amused by this situation, watching at the stage. I bet that these two must've known me from that idiot up there.

"She had that porcelain white skin, with a cute little dimple on her face-"

"See you guys later." I said to both Keisha and Keira who's anticipating the announcement that the idiot just made in front of all the students.

Both of them just nod at me, even though they both are still confused on what the hell is happening. I started to walk away from the crowds, but I find it difficult to move as I need to pass all the crowds that have been standing there, focusing on the stage.

I let out a deep huff, pushing through.

"Excuse me-" I said, as I made my way. Passing through them one by one.

"Yup, sorry-" I added, as I nearly stomped on someone's feet.

"Coming through..." I said again. A little bit more, Hazel. A little bit more.

"Oh, there she is! Hazel!!"

That idiot!!

He must've noticed me as I made my way through the crowds. And now, a lot of eyes are currently staring at me. I try to ignore all of them without even stopping.

I just need to walk out from here, and it all will be okay. Take a deep breath Hazel.

"Yup, that's my Hazel... the one with the white shirt and black jeans, stops her for me please-"

No. NO NO NO. Did he just do that???

"I believe I had something to return to you!!!"

Oh fuck.
