“Wow, she’s pretty. Is she a freshman?”
“Have you seen her before? Is she even from our school?”
“I think I saw her during the entrance exam. Must be a freshman.”
Whispers followed Debra as she walked through the campus.
A handsome guy approached her. “Hey, are you new here?”
Debra nodded. “Sort of.”
“Need help finding your dorm? Want me to take you there?”
“No need, I’m a day student.”
“Alright, how about I take you to registration? I’m a junior, and Building #1 is for freshmen.”
“Actually, I’m going to Building #2.*
I’m going to
“Building #2?” the boy repeated, puzzled.
“Exactly!” Debra confirmed.
“But isn’t that for graduate students?” the boy asked wonderingly.
He scrutinized Debra, who looked like any other young woman in her early twenties. He couldn’t imagine her among those older, more serious graduate students. After all, it normally took at least three to five

“Whoa, look at this! Isn’t it the woman you mentioned who likes Shelia’s boyfriend?” exclaimed a roommate, showing them her phone screen.
It displayed a blurry profile photo of Debra on the confession wall. Despite the fuzziness, it was unmistakably her.
“Ugh, why is she here again?” Carrie frowned. “Such a pain in the ass. I bet she intends to cause trouble Jor Shella.”
Shelia’s heart raced. ‘How could Debra be here? It’s the day for freshmen to register.
She wondered if Debra had been admitted for graduate studies.
But that was impossible.
The exam was extremely difficult. There was no way someone with no financial background like Debra could have passed it.
“I don’t think so. I heard she’s going to Building #2 today to register. It seems like she’s a new graduate student in the Finance department. No idea about her family background, but because she’s good- looking, several guys have already posted on the confession wall asking for her contact info.”
“What a vixen!” Carrie was never fond of women like that.
Wendy was astonished and then snorted, “Is it real, or did she cheat her way in? Maybe she bribed the staff. You know, such things exist in this school. With looks like hers, she probably got in through bribery.”
