1 Chapter 1 (1/2)

The buzzing alarm sounded through the halls of the university as the mass of people made their ways out of the dorms and out into the parking lot. There was no pain, but that might have had more to do with this being a drill instead of an actual emergency.

A small figure hurried passed the large mass of people, some times being shoed by someone taller who hadn't seen them before bumping into them, letting out a soft 'sorry'.

Ai Yui was short for his age and rather small in size. Being only 4 foot 8 inches. He often was overlooked and would be pushed and shoved around by those who weren't really watching where they were walking.

He hated these drills because it always ended up as a challenge just trying to get out into the hall from his dorm room!

Letting out a sigh, Ai finally stepped out into the parking lot and went to find a spot with fewer people to wait until the roll call was done and he could return to his room and finish his homework.

Being a scholarship student that relied on his good grades to pay for his lasses, he didn't have time to be out here standing about not focusing.

Sure, if he didn't have to worry about losing his scholarship he'd have been happy to use this time to go out and just enjoy the beautiful day. But life wasn't so simple for him, if he failed to keep his top score, then he would be forced to leave the school of his dreams and return back to his parents house and do what they'd wanted him to do, which was private lessons and online schooling before entering his fathers business to begin learning on how to run it for when he took over the ownership.

He had no wish to take over his father's company, nor did he want to go back to the house that had trapped him inside for almost all of his life. He worked hard to enter this school and was only able to attend because it was a prestige school, along with the fact that he didn't have to pay to go.

They might have been wealthy due to his father's company, but his parents belied that earning money for yourself was important, that and they wanted to control his life, so it was easier to do so if he didn't get money from them whenever he wanted. His childhood wasn't anything he liked to remember.

His mother was strict with what he ate and wore. Some times she would for some odd reason dress him up like a doll, and treat him as if he was a 'daughter' instead of a son. His father would always lecture him whenever she did this, making out to be his fault for being 'weak' and looking like a little girl than a boy.

He hated his parent's treatment of him. But what can one do? You didn't get to choose who were your parents, and they never really abused him physically. Maybe the mental abuse would be great if you actually took the time to look into it, but no one bothered with that.

He hurried inside and started to finish up his paper. It wasn't until he had begun to put up his books and notes that his roommate finally returned. Glancing to the door as the male entered, Ai Yui felt his heart hurt a bit while looking at the large male with a strong build. He basically looked like a muscle builder.

He wasn't too bulky that he'd seem like the hulk, but enough that he had a manly feel. Sadly his face was subpar in looks. Or he'd be one of the hottest guys in school from Ai Yui's viewpoint
