Almost A Fairy Tale - Part I

Andrea walks confidently into her new school. She is a Senior High School student now! Not a little kid anymore! She is entering the world of young life.. full of excitement! Before she knows it, she will have become an adult! How exciting!

"Hi, Andrea! How was your holiday?" Jane appears from the corner and starts walking next to Andrea.
"Hi, Jane! It was great! I managed to go camping for a few days. How's yours?" Andrea asks her friend back.
"Mine was great too! I managed to do some traveling with my mum."
Their conversation was cut by the presence of a third year student who was supposed to do the induction that morning.
"Good morning, Everyone! My name is Nathan, and I will be your group senior this morning. I will brief you about your schedule and other things concerning your study. My session will run until recess time."

"Whew! What a session! Glad that senior, Nathan, was good in explaining things so we didn't fall asleep during the session." Jane comments during recess.
Andrea nods while chewing on her sandwich. She is thinking the same as Jane, and somehow she is also feeling something else.. does she admire his public speaking skill, or is it just purely attraction?

During the one week induction program, first year students have met a few seniors that they can look up to, Nathan is definitely one of them. Some first year girls even find the courage to try to get to know him better, no real luck for them though, as Nathan is always nice to everyone but never shows any specific attention to anyone in particular.

As soon as induction week is over, it is now time to start enrolling for clubs and societies. Andrea and Jane, want to go for the Students Committee, the voices that represent the students' aspirations. Nathan is one of the soon retiring officers and he is listed (again) to deliver some of the induction topics to new officers.
