Mind Controlled My Way To Revenge

Chapter 3

I stood in front of the imposing gates of my new college, my bicycle at my side. The campus loomed before me, a vast and unfamiliar territory that held both excitement and trepidation. This was a fresh start, a chance to reinvent myself, but it was also a daunting prospect because I didn't know a soul here.

The buzz of students filled the air as they chatted and laughed with their friends. Groups of familiar faces clustered together, navigating the campus confidently. It was a stark contrast to my own situation, as I had left behind the comfort of my old school and the friends I had grown up with.

My heart raced as I took in the scene before me. I was the outsider, the newcomer, and it was hard not to feel a pang of anxiety. I wondered if I would find my place in this new environment, if I would be able to make friends and navigate the complexities of college life.

As I approached the bike rack, I couldn't help but overhear snippets of conversations. People were talking about classes, professors, and upcoming events. It was a world I was eager to be a part of, yet I felt like an interloper.

I locked my bicycle and took a deep breath, steeling myself for what lay ahead. The first step was always the hardest. I pushed through the gate, determined to make this new chapter of my life a successful one.

Inside, the college campus was a bustling hive of activity. Students hurried past me, their eyes fixed on their phones or their friends. I watched them, trying to gauge the social dynamics at play. It was clear that cliques and groups had already formed, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of loneliness.

I made my way to the main courtyard, hoping to find some sign of orientation or guidance for new students. There, a bulletin board caught my eye. It was covered in flyers for clubs and events, and I realized that this might be the key to finding my place in this unfamiliar place.

Taking a deep breath, I approached the board and began scanning the flyers. There were options for every interest – from sports to art to debate clubs. I couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement as I considered the possibilities. Maybe I would join a club, make some new friends, and find my niche.

As I continued to explore the campus, I couldn't help but notice the diversity of students. There were people from all walks of life, different backgrounds, and cultures. It was a melting pot of perspectives and experiences, and I knew that I had the chance to learn and grow in this vibrant environment.

Still, the feeling of being an outsider lingered. I approached a group of students who were engaged in animated conversation. I mustered the courage to introduce myself, but the conversation didn't flow naturally. It was evident that they already had their circle of friends, and I was an outsider trying to break in.

I felt a mix of disappointment and determination. Making new friends in a new place was never easy, and it would take time. I reminded myself that Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a college social circle.

With renewed resolve, I decided to attend the next club meeting that piqued my interest. It was a small step, but it was a step forward, I had always dream that this would be the first thing I do when I entered college .

With my decision to attend a club meeting in mind, I scanned the bulletin board once more, looking for a club that interested me. My eyes fell upon a flyer for the Photography Club. It was adorned with captivating images of landscapes and candid moments. Photography had always intrigued me, and I decided to give it a shot.

As I made my way to the location mentioned on the flyer, I tried to steady my nerves. It wasn't easy to walk into a room full of strangers, but I knew it was necessary if I wanted to make connections. I arrived at the designated room, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

Inside, the room was filled with students, some huddled in small groups discussing photography techniques, while others examined camera equipment. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I entered. I approached a small cluster of students, hoping to introduce myself and join the conversation.

"Hey there, I'm Kazuma," I said with a friendly smile as I extended my hand.

One of the students, a guy with a camera slung around his neck, shook my hand warmly. "Nice to meet you, Kazuma. I'm David. Are you new here?"

"Yeah," I replied, relieved that someone was willing to engage in conversation. "Just transferred in. This is my first day."

David seemed genuinely interested. "That's cool! We're always looking for fresh perspectives in the Photography Club. Have you ever done photography before?"

I shook my head. "Not really, but I've always been interested in it. I thought this would be a great place to start."

David grinned. "Perfect! We'll teach you the basics. And don't worry, everyone was a beginner once."

As David introduced me to the other club members, I began to feel a sense of belonging. They were a welcoming and diverse group, united by their passion for photography. I was eager to learn from them and contribute my own unique perspective.

After the club meeting, David offered to show me around the campus. It was a relief to have a friendly face to guide me through this new environment. As we walked, he pointed out key locations, such as the library, cafeteria, and student lounge.

I showed David my school ID card and asked him, "Do you know where my classroom is?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, follow me; I'll show you the way."

I followed closely behind him and said, "Thanks, you've been a great help."

"Don't mention it; it's always nice to help someone," David replied with a smile on his face.

When we reached the door, he paused and turned to me.

"Here's your classroom," he said, smiling. "Just show your ID to the teacher, and you'll be all set."
