I heard an annoying pinching sound that pushed me back from my dreamland.
I frustratingly covered my ears from my hands but this alarm intended to snatch away my sleep.

Why does everyone snatch my one and only love from me every morning?

I again tried to cover my ears to avoid that irritating sound but now my effort went in vain.

I yawned and lazily got up from the bed and moved to the bathroom.
After taking bath I left for the cafe without having breakfast because I was going to be late today.
I walked with double speed today.
But still, I was 10 minutes late.
But luckily Mrs Smith was not in the cafe.

I quickly changed my clothes and got to work.

At 8:30 I left for college.
It took me 20 minutes to reach the college and I directly ran to the canteen to silence the borborygmus sound my stomach was making.

When I ordered my regular sandwich and coffee from aunt Mary,  I got to hear her regular scolding.
After eating I rushed to my biology class.

When I entered the class I sighed in relief by knowing that the professor is late .
I quickly move to my seat which was on left side of the door near window.
I use to sit here because I could get fresh and warm air from sitting here and if I get bored in lecture then I can't stare outside also.

After 2 minutes the professor entered and started the lecture.

Today's lecture was about the Mendel's laws of inheritance.
I have read this topic earlier so I was keenly listening and understanding each and every thing the professor was explaining.
After sometime professor asked ,"Can anyone of you tell the reason why Gregor Mendel's work remained  unrecognized and unappreciated for more than 30 years?"

Professor waited for an answer but no one answered.
I knew the answer but due to hesitation I didn't stood up.
Then professor pointed his finger at me and asked ," Miss Brown , do want to say something about this?"

I stood up hesitantly and felt everyone's gaze at me.
I never liked to be the center of attention. It makes me feel nauseous .
I don't know why I have this confidence issue.
But I have to fight my this weakness now .

I replied ," Sir , although Gregor Mendel did the greatest discovery which laid the foundation of the genetics but his works were not recognized at the starting. The reason being that he was not a well know scientist and his ideas were totally different from the ideas of  well known scientist of that time that is Darwin. And one more reason was that he gave the mathematical evidence of his work , so scientist of that time didn't gave much regard to his work."
I said all this without taking a pause.

Professor said," Exactly right Miss Brown. "

I smiled and sat back to my seat and everyone's attention got back to the professor and I sighed in relief.

The biology lecture went for 1 hour . After that class I attended my chemistry lecture , which also went as usual.
We had to perform practicals in chemistry so it took total three hours in  chemistry today.

After attending chemistry lecture I went to canteen because my stomach started making borborygmus sounds again.
I ate French fries and coke while listening to my favourite songs.
Well I had no friend so this is how I use to spend my time.

I was enjoyfully eating my food while listening to music and my eyes were closed.
Suddenly I heard the sound of chair.
I opened my eyes and saw a boy of nearly my age pulling chair out for him in front of me.
He wearing a white shirt which had Rolando printed on it and wore a black rugged jeans and sports shoes . His hairs and eyes were brown.
He sat in front of me .
