In the small town of Carmel, at eight-thirty in the morning, the sun hung on the branches of the fir trees, like a peeled fruit, emitting just the right amount of sunlight.

At the main entrance of Carmel University, sprinklers swirled on the broad lawn under the sun, illuminating a faint rainbow. Cars and mountain bikes were parked on the street one after another, and those who got off were all carrying schoolbags.

Young men and women arriving for morning classes.

Not far away, a large group of people gathered in front of a large open space in front of the university entrance. It was bustling with students wearing fashionable clothes. Boys wearing red caps and rock-style clothes gathered in front of the artificial fountain. They stepped on the loudspeaker at the highest volume.

The radio was playing the sexy song 'Her To Shreds', and the air was full of sunshine and youth.

A lit textbook was thrown on the lawn. Several boys gathered around to watch the excitement and cheered without taking it too seriously. In the distance, the black security guard in front of the ivy-red wall at the main entrance of the university suddenly blew a spoon and took out his waistband.

They rushed towards them with batons pointed at them, and everyone dispersed amidst the noisy cheers.

The football thrown by the boy crossed the blue sky and drew a beautiful arc in front of the arch gate of Carmel University. Under the blue sky, Carmel University covers a small area, measuring 300 meters across.

Next door is Winston University. The two universities are connected together and barely make this area in the northwest of the town known as a university town. It is the hottest gathering place for young people.

 This place is full of all the new things of this era, such as rock and roll, rap, brotherhoods, drugs, illegal small movies, and anything that can be associated with young people's words can be found here.

In the university area surrounded by tall red walls, huge buildings such as teaching buildings, gardening areas, libraries, and gymnasiums stand out under the blue sky. Everything that a normal university should have is here, and the facilities and buildings have all been renovated in recent years.

Compared with Winston University, which is famous for its long history, Carmel University is obviously more vibrant, which naturally makes its tuition fees higher.

It is now well known in the small town that most of the students who can afford to attend Carmel University have better family backgrounds than those at Winston University. Many people would rather spend the money of a new Porsche to sponsor the school.

, and they don’t want to suffer the consequences of sending their children to Winston University, which doesn’t even have an independent swimming pool, so there are many rich people at Carmel University.

Loud horns sounded on the street, and several male students who were hugging each other and fighting in the street were driven to the roadside to lie on the lawn. Then a brand new red Porsche 911 slowly drove to the opposite side of the university gate.

On the side of the road, the boys squatting on the lawn turned their heads and saw the bright red paint and car logos in the sun. They couldn't help but whistle loudly.

 Even though there are many rich people at Carmel University, those who can drive a Porsche to class when they are students are still the focus of everyone's attention, not to mention the car owner is still a hot figure in the spotlight.

After the red Porsche stopped, the door was opened. Mandy yawned and got out of the driver's seat. She threw the schoolbag in her hand on the roof of the car and lifted the heels of the white sneakers on her feet with her right hand.

He raised his head and took a breath of fresh air under the sun, then opened his eyes and looked at the focused gaze in front of the university gate.

Today, Mandy's dress is still very eye-catching. A baseball hat restrains her brilliant blond hair. With a little makeup, the color on her face is brighter than a sunny day. A string of silver necklaces hangs in front of her black hooded sweater.

, the pure black wide-leg pants under the feet bring a bit of hip-hop style.

The whistles and cheers got louder. Although Mandy Gonzalez was only a freshman, she was already considered a very popular typhoon at Carmel University. If you could drive a Porsche on the first day of school,

Come and amaze everyone, and everyone will remember you. After all, this is the small town of Carmel, not a big city like New York or Los Angeles.

As soon as Mandy got out of the car, two girls of her own age ran over from the roadside, stretched out their hands to help her carry her schoolbag, bent down and gathered around her with smiles on their faces, "Is it so early today?

Sister Mandy.”

"Garcia, Minerva, morning." Mandy did not refuse the two of them to help carry the bags. Any courtesy was for a purpose. She knew very well that the two girls were squatting at the school gate to guard her early in the morning.

For whatever reason, I chatted and socialized with them enthusiastically.

"Sister Mandy, this is the homework for yesterday's history class. I wrote two copies." Minerva, with short brown hair, carried her schoolbag on her back. She reached into the schoolbag in front of her and took out a notebook and handed it over.

“Thank you so much, but you don’t have to worry so much next time. I think homework is also a part of college life experience.” Mandy took the history homework with a smile and locked the car door.

“In any case, we would be very happy if we could do something for Sister Mandy.” Minerva saw Mandy taking the notebook, and her face flushed with excitement.

Garcia on the side was not to be outdone and said, "Sister Mandy, I heard that the fraternity in the school is planning to hold a party at a suburban villa tonight. They are sending invitations privately. Only those who have received the invitation can attend. I know

A friend in the fraternity can help me get a few invitations. See if you are interested."

"Let's see, I've been going to bed very early lately. I probably don't have time to attend parties or anything like that. And to be honest, I'm not a fan of fraternity parties." Mandy touched the brim of her hat and chuckled.

Then he threw the key to Garcia, who cleverly took it and put it in Mandy's bag.

“What’s new recently?” Mandy asked the two girls beside her casually as she walked on the lawn. Many of the students gathered at the entrance of the university took the initiative to say hello to her, and she waved in response to them all.

“The president of the fraternity had an argument with a man while drinking at the bar last night, and then they had a fight in the bar. The fight was so severe that he almost lost his face.” Garcia thought for a while and said.

 “Who won in the end?”

"No one won. I heard that both sides were miserable." Garcia hesitated and said, "That man struck hard. In the words of the fraternity president, it was as if he was going to kill him. The fraternity president is here tonight."

After coming out of the hospital, the party was to celebrate his discharge."

"Does that mean we lost?" Mandy raised her eyebrows and thought about the appearance of the fraternity president. A burly Aryan, the main force of the rugby school team, who could carry three girls on his back to do push-ups. This kind of

How can a tall person lose to someone else in a fight? It’s really unimaginable. “How tall is your opponent? Is he 1.9 meters tall?”

"Abnormal height." Garcia shook his head, "But he was very cruel. If the people on the side hadn't stopped him, the president of the fraternity would probably have been stabbed by him."

 “A knife was used?” Mandy frowned.

"The smashed beer bottle, that guy is like crazy. I don't know what the two people were talking about outside the bar to end up in this situation." Minerva on the side added in a low voice.

“As long as everything is okay.” Mandy shook her head, “The police should have intervened, right?”

“The guy who started the attack was arrested and will probably have to be temporarily detained for ten days and a half. If he appeals, he may be sentenced further,” Garcia said.

“As I said, it’s good if nothing happens, but it looks like I can probably be free for a long time.” Mandy smiled.

Minerva and Garcia looked at each other. It was not a secret that the fraternity president was pursuing Mandy. Maybe they really shouldn't have told Mandy about it. It would be great fun if Mandy brought this matter to his face to embarrass the other party.

Wow, a burly man was actually sent to the hospital by an ordinary person on the roadside. It’s really hard to explain.

“Is there anything else interesting?” After entering the university, Mandy went straight to the teaching building, with Minerva and Garcia trotting behind her.

“A dozen transfer students suddenly came to the school, they seemed to be from the city.”

“You’re transferring to another school at this time? How many more are there at once?” Mandy climbed up the stairs and trotted into the teaching building.

“There are two or three in our department, and we will probably have classes together today, right? I heard that there is a boy in there who is very handsome!” Garcia said with starry eyes.

"It doesn't matter." Mandy pulled the hat on her head and combed her hair, "Just don't pester me."

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Sister Mandy will be surrounded by boys wherever she goes, right?" Minerva said matter-of-factly.

 In response, Mandy just smiled and shook her head without saying anything.

After going upstairs from the stairs, the three of them quickly rushed to the history classroom. After opening the door, the classroom was almost full of people. The girls gathered around and chatted about small topics. The boys were lying on their backs on the chairs with their legs crossed on the table.

Chewing gum and chatting.

At the front of the classroom, two fashionable and beautiful girls saw Mandy walking in. Their eyes lit up and they immediately waved over.

 “Let’s talk after class, let’s go first.” Mandy took the bag from Garcia and said goodbye to them.

When Minerva and Garcia saw Mandy leaving, they did not continue to follow. They just looked at the three people with envy. If there is something similar to a sorority in Carmel University besides fraternity, then

The circle of people headed by Mandy can probably be regarded as the core of the sisterhood.

The two of them didn't hesitate to get up early in the morning and stay with Mandy early just to make a connection so that they can join this circle in the future. After all, what is involved in college is circles and interpersonal relationships. Once they are isolated for the entire four years of college, they will have to live alone.

.

“Morning, Lily, Amara.” Mandy sat in the reserved seat and greeted her two good sisters.

“Mandy, there are new transfer students coming today. There are three in our department, two boys and one girl.” Amara, who has the same blond hair as Mandy, said happily as soon as she arrived.

“Don’t be so excited, you’re just a transfer student, haven’t you seen too many movie scenes?” Mandy put her schoolbag on the table, took out her homework and books, and shook her head with a smile.

"I heard that one of the transfer students has a noble son from Italy! His family is in business and he is very rich! If I can hook him up, I won't have to worry about the next four years of college." Amara flirted.

She raised her blond hair and looked at Mandy with sharp eyes, "Don't compete with me then! You are the most threatening to me in the school!"

"I don't have that intention." Mandy rolled her eyes, "But the transfer student is Italian? Where did you hear the news? Is it accurate? Why do you come to our small town to study in college if your family is so rich? Why don't you go there often?

An Ivy League school?”

"I don't know, but the news is indeed true. There seem to be a lot of foreigners transferring students this time." Lily, with short black hair, also followed up on the topic, "There are not only Italians, but also Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. It feels weird.

It’s like a transfer student, but a foreign tourist group came to visit our university.”

“It’s true or false.” Mandy couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Don’t tell me it’s false news again.”

Amala and Lily were about to say something when the door to the classroom was suddenly opened. A tall and stern teacher in a black windbreaker walked in from the door. The boy with his legs on the table immediately twitched his feet and almost fell over.

If you go down, you can see how terrifying the teacher is in everyone's eyes.

Many people stared at the textbooks for the first time and did not dare to look at her, but beside Mandy, Amala and Lily, their eyes lit up after taking a look at the classroom door, and they said nothing.

, his shoulders kept bumping into Mandy to signal her to look over.

Mandy also looked back with some feeling. Outside the classroom door, following the teacher, three strange young students actually walked in. The configuration happened to be two boys and one girl as mentioned before!

One has blond hair, one has black hair, and one has red hair. They are wearing the dark green uniforms issued by Carmel College. Judging from their appearance alone, the three of them will stand out on the street casually.

Under the gaze of all the students, the three students with unfamiliar faces stood at the edge of the podium. The teacher took out a black pointer from his waist and smashed the blackboard until the classroom was so quiet that he could hear the drop of a needle.

Then he turned to look at the three people beside him and said calmly, "Three new transfer students, please introduce yourselves. In the next four years, these people in the classroom will be your classmates in the same department. Let's get along well and work together."

improve together."

The black-haired boy who was the leader of the three nodded first, walked to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, turned around and wrote his name on the blackboard, but not many people could understand what he wrote, because

What was left on the blackboard was not English, but three square-like shapes.

By chance, Mandy just understood these three words and quietly read the boy's name. She raised her eyebrows and felt a little familiar.

After finishing writing, the boy put down the chalk and turned back. He glanced at everyone in the classroom and nodded and said, "Freshman, Chu Zihang, I am very happy to be my classmates."

Standard American speaking, without much accent, which undoubtedly adds to his cold appearance. After all, no one likes to be friends with a mute who cannot understand the language, let alone develop a romantic relationship. This boy is named Chu Zihang
