"If you had one word to describe your life what would it be?"

mundane

my lips perked up to one side to form a smirk.

I would just listen here and there to the lecture, since there wasn't any significant information being spouted as it was the first day, or the "icebreaker" day, which is "definitely not a waste of time".

"Ms. uh... please remind me of your name again."

it became so uncomfortably quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing.

I glanced up from my screen noticing all the heavy stares directed towards me.

"Oh.. uhm... me, right?"

I pointed to myself, my heart beginning to pace, and face heating up.

"Yes, you! Could you please remind me of your name?"

"I-I'm Vivian Hans."

my voice trembled.

I had the strong urge to crawl up into a ball and toss myself into a deep dark hole concealed from humanity.

"Okay, Ms. Hans, if you had one word to describe your life what would it be?"

my mind went blank.

I had to come up with something to relieve myself of embarrassment, even though I was long gone from being saved, so I sat there trying to force myself to think.

what do I say? what do I say?

I can't screw up this early!

think Vivian, think!

"You could say bittersweet."

A masculine voice that was as smooth as honey behind me whispered.

"Bittersweet!"

Without even wasting a second I blurted out.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because there are good and bad aspects of my life."

Thank you for giving me a new bad aspect; Your class.

I finally felt back in-control, however, the feeling of embarrassment still lingered.

"Okay good, pay more attention Ms. Hans."

I nodded, relaxed in my seat, as a sigh of relief escaped my body.

"You are all dismissed."

I quickly tucked my laptop into my grey Herschel bag and turned around to thank whoever just helped me out but he wasn't there.

he had just completely vanished.

did he really pack up that quick? it hasn't even been 3 minutes since we've been dismissed... I guess I'll thank him later...

I zipped up my bag, threw it on, and made my way to my dorm.

I took my phone out and plugged in my earbuds.

♩ Paul Anka- Can't Take My Eyes Off You ♩

As I was walking I looked around my surroundings. There were a countless number of people with smiles plastered across their faces, enjoying the company of others. However, there was one duo that caught my eye. Two girls, one with blonde braided hair, and the other with a black bob. The girl with the black bob snatched the blonde's phone and began running around with it laughing, while the blonde girl chased after her with her face flushed. The blonde girl was able to get her phone back quite fast alongside with the bob girl's phone. They appeared to decide on a truce. Something about their adorable friendship brought a smile to my face.

 I turned my eyes back to look forward and saw a literal giant charging towards me backwards. My eyes widened as soon as I realized he was about to bump into me. 

"Aye, I told y'all I'd be able to catch the ba-"

He yelled proudly, catching the football, then getting cut off by falling on top of me.

I groaned.

Wow, this day is just going great...

First, that horrible lecture and now I have a dude who is probably 7 ft. tall on top of me.

I pushed him off; Panting.

His friends rushed over.

"Are you okay?" The one with wavy caramel brown hair and emerald green eyes asked.

"I'm alright, it was just a fall."

The giant chuckled.

"Not you, idiot." 

The boy with straight blonde hair and hazel eyes crossed his arms, and rolled his eyes.

"I'm fine."

A bright smile formed on my face, which was a huge contrast from what I was thinking.

not family friendly thoughts**

A boy with a blank expression headed towards me.

He had dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

He reached his hand out for me.

I couldn't help but stare in awe, despite having very common hair and eye colors there was something that stuck out about him compared to the rest of the group.

A smirk formed on his face.

The change in expression broke me from my trance.

"I'm good."

I got up, rejecting his offer to help me up, whilst avoiding eye-contact.

"Really? Cause your arm is bleeding."

I quickly turned my head towards my arm and realized there indeed was blood dripping from my elbow.

That piece of %#@#

My head then turned to the giant.

We made eye-contact.

He awkwardly smiled and placed his arm behind his head.

I glared at him and he looked down.

"Sorry..."

The one that caught my eye snickered.

A smile formed on the other two boys' faces.

For some reason I couldn't help but let out a giggle as well.

It was probably the fact that a man so grown was acting like a child being scolded by his mother.

"Awe Chase, you look so cute!"

The blonde one commented.

"Yeah, I'd tap that."

The dark brown-haired one teased.

We all began laughing.

Chase's face went from slightly tan to a bright pink.

The caramel brown-haired one suddenly stopped laughing.

"Guys, her arm is still bleeding."

Everyone turned to look at my arm including myself.

"Uhh... anyone have a bandage?"

Everyone just looked at each other.

"I've got sali-"

The dark brown-haired one got his mouth covered by the blonde creating a muffled sound.

"I think I have some in my backpack."

The blonde's eye crinkled at the corners.

He removed his arm from the dark brown-haired one's face and gave him a stern look.

The dark brown-haired one sighed.

"Okay, fine."

He moved his head up and down.

We walked around 15 feet away from where we just were.

There was a brown wooden bench that had four backpacks on it.

There were two black bags, a red bag, and a brown bag.

The blonde grabbed the brown bag, unzipped it, and dug his hand around inside.

Around a minute later he pulled out a first-aid kit.

He opened the kit and put on blue latex gloves.

"Bring your arm over here."

He gestured to come over.

I walked over to him.

He took out a wipe.

"This is going to sting a bit."

I nodded.

He cleaned the wound with the wipe, applied some ointment, and attached a bandage.

Once he was done all the boys couldn't keep quiet.

"Oh wow!"

They all exclaimed in-sync.

"As expected from our future surgeon."

The dark brown-haired guy giggled.

"This isn't a surgeon thing... it's just basic-"

"Alright, alright..."

He cut him off leaving the blonde guy visibly annoyed.

"Well, I should return to my dorm now. Thank you for helping me out!"

I arched my lips while speaking in a fairly formal tone.

I began to take small steps towards my dorm.

"You're welcome!"

I turned around to see a bright gummy smile on his face.

I waved and turned back around, continuing my stride.

"Wait!"

Caramel brown yelled out.

"We haven't formally introduced ourselves."

"That won't be nec-"

"My name is Connor, I'm an arts major, and a sophomore."

"I'm Henry, a junior, and majoring in biology."

The guy who helped me out slightly raised his hand.

"I'm Andrew, also a junior, and a business major."

The guy with dark brown hair coolly raised his hand.

All three of them stared at the guy who knocked me over.

Connor softly nudged his arm with his elbow.

"I'm Chase, a business major, and a sophomore."

He mumbled.

Everyone except Chase averted their attention towards me.

"I'm Vivian, a freshman, and I'm majoring in psychology."

"Ooh, a freshman, I see..."

Andrew smirked.

He walked up to me, causing my heart to race, and immense bewilderment.

Wh-Why is he coming towards me?

 He handed me a card with his contact information.

"Call me anytime you'd like."

He grew a smile similar to the Cheshire Cat, except less creepy.

The other guys began fake gagging.

He turned around and hit them all.

I looked at the card, checked the time on my phone, and began speed-walking back to my dorm.

I guess my life isn't mundane after all.
