Welcoming not Welcoming

As I make my way through the crowded airport with my heavy luggage, I see a bright blue sign saying "WELCOME TO TASAKI COLLEGE". Holding the sign is a tall slim guy wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt with a navy blue sweater.

    "Nice color choice! Ain't bad" I smile with satisfaction.

He has his air pods on and nod his head solemnly along with the song. I exhaustedly push my luggage toward him and shyly say hi. Shockingly, he just replies with s a quick hi along with a forced smile return to his boring neutral face.

    "Follow me," he demands raising his voice.

    "Hiyah, are all rich American kids like this? How many are there in the college? Oh my Buddah, all my dream about America has been smashed into pieces by this guy." I ask myself with a heavy sigh while examining him again from head until toes.

As I am struggling to death with my burden luggage, another tall slim guy wearing the college's hoodie and a pair of light blue jeans approach me with a warm smile.

    "Hi, let me help you" he offers with a heart warming smile causing me to turn red like a tomato.

    "Thank you so much," I hesitantly answer as I stick out my tongue at the rich-kid guy who has already took off his air pods and slowly approach us.

    "So you have return from the bathroom, Mr. Andrew" he monotonously says  " I thought you are sleeping in there." He smirks and looks at me. I stare back like a statue and fix my gaze at brand new shoes.

    "I swear, if he doesn't have the sign, I would have think he is high class human trafficker." I mumble softly to myself.

" What are you saying?" the friendly guy said.

    "Nothing haha, umm,  I m just tired from the luggage." I stutter and smile at him

    " Oh, I forget to introduce myself. Please forgive me." he says as he politely arranges his hoodie ." My name is Andrew Smith. I am responsible to pick you up. The guy just then is Brian who is my best friend. His Chinese name is Huo Jiang Ting. Just call him Brian. He doesn't like anyone to call him by his Chinese name especially a stranger like you."

    "Ohh. My name is Kolab. I also have a Chinese name which is Jiao Yue. You can call me by any name. I don't mind." I softly chuckle.

 "Nice name, I prefer Jiao Yue. It's easier for me. Let's go, Brian is waiting." He grabs my luggage outside and heads out to college.

I continuously take pictures and look outside the window, enjoying the amazing sites. A few minutes later, my eyes gets heavy and I wave my last good-bye to the buildings outside. After a few our, I feel a hard pillow rising up and down and I excitedly explore it with my closed eyes. Little did I know later that it wasn't any pillow. Its Brian's chest.
