The boys have all had their say and now, it’s my turn to speak. Well, I am not a boy but I’m ‘one
of the guys’ if you know what I mean so that's why I’m telling you this under ‘The boys speak up’
section. I guess already know who I am. Just for the record, allow me to introduce myself again,
I am Alicia Rayne, the first and last female student of Tech U.

I honestly have no idea what to talk about, I could tell you about my family background and
all but that’ll be so boring. Unlike Josh who is so overwhelmed by the fame of his surname,
I couldn’t care less. I prefer to keep a low profile especially in school. Ulric has somehow
found out my background but surprisingly, not many others have. When you’re rich, there’s
never a shortage of suitors after you so how do you tell if he really loves you for yourself
not just for the sake of getting the money? I for one, have no clue.

I usually brush off most of the guys my parents introduce to me. Read: sons of all future
business partners hoping to jump onto the Rayne bandwagon. They all have the same characteristics,
well to do, handsome, top of their class, overly polite and no backbone. They would probably
jump off the balcony if I asked them to, not that I would do such a thing anyway. In other
words, they bore me.

The Tech u guys on the other hand, are a unique batch. I know that all the boys say I’m pretty
but in actual fact, I’m not as gorgeous as they make me out to be. A more realistic reason would
be that I’m the only girl around and with no one else around for comparison, I sort of stand out.
If this were a mixed school, the boys wouldn’t look twice at me with people such as LJ and
Belle around.

Hey, I know what to talk about! I bet you’re dying to know exactly what I think of all the guys
around me. For example, a certain Mr Powells? I’ll save that for last. Aren’t I mean? Let’s see,
who’s up first, oh, Kevin. Kevin is the most obnoxious and vainest person I have ever met. He’s
worse than some of the girls back in COBA. He can’t even walk pass a mirror checking how his
hair is and he’s constantly kissing his mirror! However, behind it all, I see a person craving
for attention. A young boy still wanting the attention he never got from his parents. Kevin
doesn’t know any other way to get it rather than being a pain in the ass. He can be nice at
times but he seldom shows this side of him as he doesn’t want the other boys to think him a
sissy.

Chad and Eden have similar characters. They share the same carefree and sociable attitude.
Eden is the brighter one and though he’s too lazy to do most of his homework, he still somehow
manages to do really well for exams. He’s blessed with unusual luck, musical talent and excellent
brains and Chad is, well, Chad. They’re the only ones who treat me as a friend, not just as a
‘girl’. It’s like, we’re buddies and they have no qualms talking about anything at all with me.
They are pretty much always up to mischief and one of their favourite targets is Tyler. Tyler is
a real gentleman and pretty laid back. He has this calming aura about him that makes me want to
fall asleep whenever I’m near him. He also has this notion of wanting to make this world a better
place but I think he’s fighting a losing battle. I don’t understand much about Washington except
that I think he has a small crush on me. My cousin? I dislike him. Can we not talk about him?
Thanks.

Ulric you ask? He’s built like a fortress, surrounding himself with tons of armor, not wanting
anyone to penetrate his shield. It wasn’t easy getting to know him, I break down one of his
barriers and he sets another up behind it. That’s exactly why I’m drawn to him. I know this sounds
weird but I can't explain it. I mean, he’s really cute but it’s not just his looks that attract
me. He has this vulnerability that he hides by pretending he doesn’t care but he does. I can feel
it. Sometimes, he seems so angry with the world, others, he seems so sad and when I see him like
that, I have an unexplainable urge to put my arms around him and tell him that I care. But I know
he’ll only push me away, unable to understand how someone could actually like him, afraid of being
hurt. I’ll admit, I couldn’t stand him when I first came. He was always so sulky and moody but it
took some time to understand the reason for his behaviour. Look at us now, we’re friends!

I have to go feed my darling kitten now, it was nice talking to you. Come visit me at Tech U!

Alicia.
