Things get heated up pretty quick when you try to hide your talents. It wasn't like this in pre university, but when it came down to the Uni, everything was different. The pace, the life, the people, everything!
Finally! It's been a week since I joined Uni. For these days, it's been a routine for me and Maya to meet during the lunch break, and probably everyone who saw, lecturers included, figured out we were love birds.

A few adviced me that this wasn't the right time, but as always, I threw a deaf ear to them. I had chosen Biotechnology and she had chosen Computer science. Well, we couldn't meet anytime but the break, so we always stuck together during the break. As much as we could.

A few days passed. And so did me and Maya pass our internals. This is where it started. All the other girls in our class were awestruck. They never expected me to score perfectly in all subjects. A perfect 50 in all. And you probably can guess what follows next. Teasing you by calling you a "topper".

I don't like that. I mean, I don't work hard to be called a topper. I never studied for any exam, yet I manage to score good. That's why, I feel I don't deserve to be called a topper. This aside, I gained a few friends and rivals alike.
Nevertheless, I tried to hide my talents, just because I didn't feel it was the right time. "I'm going to stay in the Uni for four years, might as well exhibit later!" .. I kept telling myself.

Maya was the contrast. She had already gained enough fans in her class, most being male. You know how it works....
