The Business Management Department's Student Council Leader suddenly called for a meeting. Karsten, Lauren and Ashton are currently at one of the University's gym where the meeting is going to be held. At the same time, Autumn was already at the venue, waiting for the meeting to start. All of noisy students became silent when their department's dean suddenly walks infront of them. All of the students are wondering on what is the age da of their meeting today. They are thinking that it might be something serious because their dean don't usually appear in most of their meetings. "I hope it's not that serious." Autumn secretly wishes, while staring at their Dean. And she knows that the rest of the students are thinking the same way, too. "Please sit down, everyone. I have an announcement to make." the Dean formally announced. All of the students became more and more curious. They all sat down and waited for their dean to speak again. "As you may already know, the Palmridge Univer

Madame Estelle said to all the girls who's all standing onstage. Madame Estelle is the Stage Director and Choreographer for Miss Palmridge University Queen beauty contest, and it's one of the highlights of the Palmridge University's Annual Foundation Anniversary contest and everyone's looking forward to this event, as it showcases all the beautiful girls in each College departments... Autumn took a deep breath as she took off her stilettos and she gave a quick massage on her legs. She's one of the contestants of Miss Palmridge University Queen, and her candidate number is 8, which has been her lucky number for a very long time. She's been dead tired from all of the activities because hey've been doing a lot of promotions, training, rehearsals, and they also did a Talent Show, while studying in between... She has mixed
"Anyway, you are the second woman in our family who's going to wear this gown after me. And you'll hand this over to your daughter in the future." her mother relayed. "This is extremely beautiful,Mom! This gown best represents Hollywood glam.We don't need to make any adjustments,and I'm going to look perfect at the evening gown competition." Autumn said it all in one breath. "I'm sure you will look so beautiful onstage while wearing this gown. I'm so glad and relieved that I was able to get it from the dry cleaners on time." Autumn happily hugged her mother once again. "Oh, I appreciate what you did, Mom.I won't be nervous and scared tomorrow." "Of course,darling. You have my 100% support. Win or lose, you're still our Queen." her mother reassured her. "I know, Mom. I know." After a few minutes, they released each other from their embrace and smilingly looked at each other. "Well,you need to get your beauty sleep now. I'll just put this gown on your luggage so everything's read
Autumn is actually thrilled winning because not for the crown or the title, but she's actually happy because she made her classmates proud, and the same time,she will get all the benefits that their Dean promised. It will be very helpful for her future career after she graduates from Palmridge University. All of her classmates started going onstage and each of them hugged and congratulated her. "Congratulations, Autumn! You deserved to win the crown." Lauren, one of her classmates smilingly congratulated her. "My girlfriend's right, Autumn. You did great, especially at the Question and Answer part." Ashton added. "Thank you guys!I wouldn't be able to do this without our department's support as well." Autumn thanked all of them. Karsten mustered all of her courage to walk towards Autumn to congratulate her as well. "You made us all proud, Autumn. You did extremely well." he said, as he was trying to calm himself, deep inside. "I appreciate your support, Karsten. I saw you clappi
Few years have passed. Autumn stopped her car in front of the coffee shop where she and her boyfriend Karsten usually have a date whenever they have free time. She smiled when she remembered all of the good memories she shared, not just with Karsten, but with Ashton and Lauren as well. Before their University graduation, she and Karsten are officially a couple. One of the staff at the coffee shop greeted her as soon as she steps inside. "Hello, welcome to Le Coup de Foudre Coffee Shop. A table for four?" the staff smilingly inquired. "Yes... Our usual table please." Autumn smiles back at her. "Of course!" "Thanks you as always." Autumn thanks the kind and accommodating staff. She almost screamed in surprise when all of the lights suddenly went out. She immediately saw a projector screen. Her jaw dropped wide open when she saw hee photos on the screen. It was her photos since her freshman year up until their senior year. And in addition to that, the projector also shows her
Few decades have passed. "Wow, it feels so good to be back at Palmridge University after so many years.." Karsten happily said, as he takes in a gulpful of air, while looking around at the campus. "You're absolutely right, honey. I suddenly missed everything here at Palmridge University!" Autumn nodded in agreement, while feeling a bit of nostalgia. "Dad... Mom. Do you want to come with me to the Entrance Ceremony or you're just going to stand here all day, reminiscing about the past?" Kael asked his parents, while grinning from ear to ear. "Oh, I'm sorry, son! It's just that this place has been very special to me and to your father since this is were we first met." Autumn smilingly said to her son. "And I still couldn't believe that she fell inlove with a nerd just like me." Karsten jokingly added. "Look, being a nerd is not really a bad thing, but I just want you to be---just like you. You're a cool guy, you're smart and well, you're cute and I'm sure many girls will like you."
"Hi, can I ask you a question? What happened to your face?" Britney curiously asks her. "There's the million-dollar question again." Ellysse said to herself. Since the day she started going to school, everyone have been asking her about her face. At first, she was willing to answer that question, but as she grows up, she's getting tired of it already. But not answering the question will be totally rude of her, so she decided to speak again. "I was born with Giant congenital nevi, so that's why I have a black, distinctive mark on the right side of my face." she answers, in a polite tone. She felt more awkward when she heard all of their classmates murmuring at each other, except for the guy who's sitting beside her. He just gave her a friendly smile. "Thank you for introducing yourself, Miss Anderson. Next in line is, Mr. Kael Oakes..." Mr. Alden calls for the next student. Ellysse secretly heaved a sigh of relief when the professor changes the topic. Maybe it was obvious for him
"It's easy for you to say that because you haven't experienced being laughed at by other people because of your face. I mean, look at you, your gorgeous, and everyone likes you..." Ellysse blurted out. "Wait, did you just say that I'm gorgeous?" Kael asks, while grinning from ear to ear. Ellysse feels her face burning, and she knew that she's blushing like an idiot again. She took a deep breath to calm herself. "Look, that's not the point. What I'm trying to say is, for someone like you, who has a normal-looking face, you won't be able to understand what I'm going through..." she tries to make her point clear. "And that's why I'm trying my best to understand your situation, Ellysse. If you keep pushing me away, how can I be aware of what you're going through? I want to know and understand everything about you?" Kael tries to explain his side. Ellysse was suddenly confused by how Kyle is acting towards her. What's with this guy? "Why are you doing this?" she suddenly interrogated
