THE PINK CLOUDS: Chapter II

Richard entered his room in the dormitory. He met 3 other students which he was supposed to occupy the room with. The room was of medium size with a wardrobe located opposite to the entrance. There were two metal bunk arranged at the right side of the room, and the third one is placed on the left side.
There was a ceiling fan moving at a very fast speed. Two of his roommates seemed to have just arrived from their home with their luggage.

"You are all welcome," Richard said to them and proceeded to shake each and every one of them.

"Are you also in this room?" one of the boys asked.

"Yes I am, there is my stuff," Richard pointed a table with some items on it.

"You must be rich, how can you leave the door opened with your stuff left unprotected?" one of the boys asked surprisingly.
"I don't think I own anything that worths stealing in my bag," Richard grinned. "You never know the importance of what you have, until you lose it," one of his roommates replied.
He was very tall and dark in complexion.

"I can say you are right about that," Richard smiled.
"So, what level are you?" the tall man asked. "I am in currently in my first year," Richard replied. "No wonder you look very young, how old you are?" the man asked.

"I am 18 years old," Richard responded.

"I thought you will be the youngest in this room, but it seems not," the man revealed.

"Of course I am the youngest," Richard said considering the fact that he looked to be the smallest of them all in the room.
"You older than Gabriel, the boy behind you," the man said pointed at the boy behind Richard.
Richard was totally amazed when he noticed the height of the boy. He was the tallest in the room and fair in complexion. He had a very grown hair that was two times as the one on Richard's head.

"You must be kidding, right?" Richard asked unbelievably. "Do I look like someone who will Kid around with you?" the man asked with a serious face. "How old are you Gabriel?" Richard asked.

"I am 16," Gabriel responded.

"Wow!" Richard exclaimed speechlessly.

"I don't know what your name is," the man said.

"Oh, I am Richard," he answered.

"Alright Richard, you can call me RG," the man said.

"What does RG means," Richard asked curiously.

"I am sorry that's classified," the man laughed.

Richard proceeded to his luggage and unloaded everything into his wardrobe. After he was done, he took a bag containing his laptop and went out of the room.

He walked to a garden at the extreme of his dormitory. It was at a border between the student campus and the staff quarters.
The garden was the quietest place in the whole campus, and Richard thought he had found the perfect place for his studies. He sat on a bench in the garden and brought down his bag.
He took out his laptop and some A4 papers out of his bag. He turned on his computer and went through all the courses he will be having in that semester.

As he took his pen trying to schedule how he is going to study for the semester, he saw a girl dressed in white approaching. She was holding the hand of a little boy as she walked majestically on high heels.

For a moment, Richard halted trying to see who the girl was. But as the girl got closer, he noticed that it was the girl he had an argument with earlier.
He became surprised by how she had changed in her personal dress unlike when she was her uniform.

Suddenly, the girl caught him staring and he quickly looked away. "Oh my God!" he said as he came back to his senses.

He was usually the type that wasn't into girls that are younger than him. According to him, any girl younger than him will just be very childish and especially secondary school students like her.
The girl walked past the garden and headed...
