Chapter 1 1
The university shone brightly on this back-to-school morning. Students flocked in, eager to discover their new environment. Among them, five young people would see their lives change irreversibly.
Alice, a young brunette woman with sparkling eyes, was getting out of a taxi with a backpack on her shoulder and a suitcase in her hand. Coming from a modest background, she had worked hard to obtain a scholarship. She looked at the imposing buildings of the university with admiration mixed with apprehension. As she entered her dorm room, she took a deep breath, ready to begin this new chapter in her life.
David, for his part, got out of a luxury car, helped by a driver. His designer clothes and confident demeanor betrayed his wealthy background. From behind his sunglasses, he observed the other students with a mixture of curiosity and detachment. He greeted a few acquaintances from his private high school before heading to his room.
Chloe, with flamboyant red hair and artistic style, wore a big smile. Her passion for art had brought her here, and she hoped to find inspiration in this new environment. She was dragging a large trunk filled with art supplies. Upon discovering her room, she quickly decorated the walls with her favorite works, immediately transforming the space into a living art studio.
Bruno, tall and athletic, arrived by car with his parents. His serious face contrasted with his sporty appearance. He was determined to prove that he was not only an athlete, but also an intellectual capable of success. After saying goodbye to his parents, he headed to the gym, his sanctuary, for a quick workout before classes started.
Finally, Emilie, with her blond hair and piercing blue eyes, walked confidently towards the main building. She came from a middle-class family, but her determination and ambition always pushed her to aim higher. As she walked through the university gates, she felt a wave of excitement and pride.
A few hours later, Alice entered a large classroom, slightly nervous. She spotted an empty seat and settled in, carefully taking out her things. Next to her, Bruno also sat, glancing quickly around him.
"Hi," he said, turning to Alice. "Is this your first year here too?"
Alice smiled shyly. "Yes, that's it. And you ?"
"Yes, I'm Bruno. I'm here mainly for the sports program, but I also have economics classes."
"Alice," she replied, holding out her hand. "I'm here on a scholarship for political science."
Bruno shook his hand with a smile. "Political science, huh? It looks interesting. Maybe we can work together on some projects."
The professor then entered the room, cutting their conversation short. Alice felt a strange excitement. Meeting someone friendly on the first day was a good sign.
That evening, the university organized an integration evening for new students. The campus was decorated with fairy lights and balloons, and a stage was set up for a DJ. Music echoed and laughter filled the air.
Chloé walked among the students, amazed by the festive atmosphere. She headed to the bar for a drink and ran into David, who was chatting with a group of friends.
"Hi," she said as she approached. "My name is Chloe. What year are you in?"
David turned towards her, a charming smile on his face. "First year, just like you, I guess. Nice to meet you, Chloe. I'm David."
They talked at length, discovering common interests and exchanging stories from their lives before college. The conversation flowed naturally, and they quickly became comfortable with each other.
"Come on, I'll show you a nice place," David offered after a moment. He led her away from the crowd, to a quiet corner of campus, where they could see the twinkling lights of the party without being in the middle of the noise.
Sitting on a bench, they continued to talk, the growing closeness between them becoming more and more palpable. At one point, David leaned slightly towards Chloe, his eyes searching hers. "I'm really glad to have met you tonight, Chloe."
She smiled, feeling her heart beat faster. "Me too, David. You are different from what I thought."
"Different how?" he asked, curious.
"I don't know... I saw you arriving in a luxury car this morning, and I thought you'd be arrogant. But you're really nice."
David laughed softly. "Appearances can be deceiving. I'm just a guy trying to find my place, like everyone else."
Their faces were now very close. Chloe felt his warm breath on her lips. Unable to resist the pull, she closed her eyes and surrendered to the moment. David wasted no time and captured her lips in a soft but passionate kiss. The world seemed to stop around them as they lost themselves in this first intimate contact.
The kiss intensified, their tongues mingling in a sensual dance. Chloe put her arms around David's neck, moving even closer to him. David's hand slid down her back, causing shivers of pleasure. They were in public, but in that moment, they didn't care about anything else.
Finally, they separated, breathing short, their cheeks red. "I think we should go back to the party," Chloe whispered, a mischievous smile on her lips.
David nodded, still under the spell of this kiss. "Yes, let's go. But this is only the beginning, Chloe."
They returned to the party, hand in hand, ready to face the new adventures that university had in store for them.
Meanwhile, Alice and Bruno continued to get to know each other, talking about their passions and ambitions. Émilie, for her part, explored the various clubs and activities, determined to get as involved as possible in university life.
New beginnings were always exciting, and for these five young people, they would be marked by deep friendships, passionate loves and unexpected betrayals.
