"Are you ready yet?" a mature looking girl with her hair tied up into a pony tailed peeked inside a room.

Another girl, whose hair was left out, walked forward to the door. "Won't be a minute...besides, it's your turn to make breakfast today, Tavia"

Tavia smiled. "I know, i've made everything. Just calling you, I'm going to eat first"

"Yeah sure" the other girl replied as she slipped on a jacket.

Tavia walked out into the small dining table and sat down. She scooped some cereal and milk into her mouth.

"I'm done" the girl walked out and sat across Tavia. She picked up her spoon and dipped it into the cereal. "What's this...?"

"Cereal and milk" Tavia replied.

"Oh, I thought you said you were going to make beans and toast or something" the other girl said as she placed the spoon into her mouth.

"Nah..that takes a bit longer" Tavia giggled. She stood up to pull the curtains aside. "Beautiful weather today, Charmaine, you should go and have a walk"

"Don't you remember, I have to go to the community centre anyway" the girl, whose name was Charmaine replied.

"Oh that's right. You want me to drop you off?" tavia offered. "I have morning class today"

"Wouldn't mind" Charmaine replied.

Tavia helped Charmaine into the car before getting into the driver's seat herself. "Ok, seatbelts?"

Charmaine took the seatbelt and put it on. "Yep"

"Righteo.."Tavia started the engine, backed out of the apartment's garages and drove to the exit.

"How is your ophthalmology going?" Charmaine asked while she kept driving.

"Ok.."Tavia replied. "getting harder and harder, but I have confidence"

"Look, just the introduction I'm supposed to learn..is hard" Tavia picked up a folder from the back seat. "Look"

"You silly, I can't see" Charmaine hit her.

"Oh yeah, forgot for one second, it's amazing how you know where to hit me" Tavia rubbed her arm.

Charmaine let out a small laugh. "Ok, stop joking. No seriously, do you think youll make it?"

"Yeah, when I have white hair" Tavia joked.

"Ok, I'm not going to be serious with you again, doesn't work as proved" Charmaine joked back.

"Pretty chirpy today, hey?" Tavia looked at Charmaine. "We're here" Tavia turned off the engine.

Charmaine felt for the handle, she pushed the car door opened and stepped out of the car.

"Careful.."Tavia mumbled as she helped Charmaine closed the card door and carry her things. After that, the two walked into the Blind Community Centre.

"Good morning Charmaine, Tavia" the assistant at the counter greeted them.

"Morning" they both replied as they waited for the lift. Tavia accompanied her into the lift and out to level 3.

"Leila!" Tavia waved as at her as soon as they stepped out of the lift.

"Good morning tavia and Charmaine" Leila walked over to them. "How are you today?" she asked Charmaine.

"I feel bright and brilliant" Charmaine joked.

"Ok" Leila nodded. "Are these her things for today?" she look at the things in Tavia's hands.

"Yeah" Tavia said. "If she really needs to use the walking stick, then she must. Or else you don't want her to bump into a pole or something"

Leila smiled. "Ok, I'll take them in with her"

"I've got to go now" Tavia glanced at her watch. "See you"

"Bye" Leila and Charmaine said in unision to her.

"I don't want to use the walking stick" Charmaine said. "I am responsible enough to walk on my own"

"Don't worry, I'll be there to guide you anyway"Liela said, leading Charmaine into the main room.

Tavia drove into Hong Kong University's main carpark. She drove around for a bit, trying to find a free spot. Finally, she spotted one, but didn't notice another car with it's lights straight ahead. Tavia quickly swivelled into the spot and turned off her engine.

Tavia grabbed her folders and hand bag and hopped off her car. She walked into the road and saw a racing car parked diagonally to her car, but it's driver was watching Tavia. Tavia rasied one eyebrow and continued to walk. The car drove up beside her and pushed the horn.

*Honk*

Tavia looked at the driver. "yes?"

The driver was a young man around her age. He looked cute with the huge sunglasses on, sticking his head out of the window. "Miss, you took my spot. Didn't you see me coming?"

"I didn't see you. Sorry" tavia apolgized casually and walked ahead.

The driver shook his head and drove ahead of her.

As Tavia headed towards her classroom, she noticed that numerous students were crowded around the notice board. Wondering what was happening, she joined the crowd, pushing her way in to read the notice board. "Oh...nothing to get excited about" she mumbled, getting out of the crowd again. The notice board announced a new student who was switching to their class.

Tavia walked into the classroom and sat down in her usual spot, which was in the 3rd row, one seat from the big paper-mache of an eyeball. She laid her folders out and took out her pens and pencils. After a few minutes, the students started to spill in one by one and last of all, their professor, Professor Yeow entered the classroom. "Good morning students" he looked happy and cheery today. "As you would've of known, there is a new student swicthing from Opthalmology 2 to this class"

Professor Yeow stepped aside and the new student stepped in. To Tavia's surprise, he was the man who she had an encounter with in the carpark.

"Please welcome, Ron Ng" the professor announced his name. "There's a spare spot over there, would you like to sit there?"

Ron smiled and walked to the spare spot which was the table's infront of Tavia's. He smiled at Tavia and then sat down. Tavia foudn out that he was a smart guy, and was very active in class also.

Tavia glanced at her watch for the 2nd time. "2 minutes left.."she muttered. 2 hours of opthalmology had passed and she wanted to do something else already, even if she loved opthalmology very much. She scribbled more notes down as Professor Yeow explained more things to them. Tavia watched as Ron's pen rolled to the edge of his desk and dropped onto the floor, infront of Tavia's feet. Tavia bent down and picked it up.

The Ron guy didn't notice that he had dropped his pen, when tavia was about to tap on his shoulder, Professor Yeow ended the lesson. She placed his pen on her table and packed her things up. But Ron was fast, he was heading for the door of the classroom already. Tavia clutched the folders to her chest and swung her handbag through her left arm. She grabbed his pen and followed him out of class. "Ron!" she called.

Ron stopped walking and turned around. He spotted Tavia walked to him. "Hello" he smiled. "Were you the one who took my spot?"

Tavia smiled. "yes, you dropped your pen in clas, here"

"Oh, thank you" Ron took the pen from her hands. "What's your name?"

"Tavia Yeung" she replied.

"Oh, cool name" he smiled. "Look, I've got to run now. See you around"

"Bye..Ron" she didn't get to finish her statement for he had already spun on his heel.
