It was the day where she was supposed to leave to go to London. She was told that she would be received by another student at the airport who'd help her with the initial process of settling at the campus and figuring out her assigned classes.

She arrived at the airport bid goodbye to her family and a few friends who'd come to drop her. She said, "Guys I think it's almost time for the counter to open. I'll call you before I board the plane." She hugged them and went inside the airport. She sat at the airport terminal going over all the important documents that are required at the University. It was a nine-hour flight so she had prepared some things to keep her occupied during the flight. She even video called her folks to let her know that she has boarded the flight and will take off any time soon. She looked outside the window and let a deep breath out which she didn't know she was holding in.

Resaman landed at the London City Airport. She picked up her luggage and went to the arrival gate to meet her designated guide for the day. She looked through the crowd and saw a guy holding a welcome sign from the university. She went towards the guy and he extended his hand for a shake. He said, " Hello Resaman, welcome to London city. My name is Conan Gray and I'm your guide for today." She smiled at him and said, " Thank you I am looking forward to this semester at the university".  To which he replied by saying, " Well I hope you have a great time, and I'll share my contact information soon in case you want to keep in touch." 

They both entered his car and drove off to the university campus.  As they reached campus she looked at the buildings in awe. There were kids all around and she could see that the campus life was quite lively. 

They stopped near a certain block which she assumed was probably the administration block. She entered the building did all the required formalities and received keys to her dorm for the semester. She went with Conan towards the dorm, where he said, " This is my stop. Go get settled in your dorm. I'll meet you tomorrow."

She walked into the dorm building trying to find her room. Unfortunately she wouldn't be having a roommate for the semester. Which she thought was understandable as the whole thing was arranged in a short notice. She found her room and went inside. She sat at the bed and before she knew she was drifting off to sleep.

It was the day of the class. She walked into the building where she was supposed to meet Conan. He stood there at the hallway waving at her to come join the class. He said, " Okay so this your first class according to your schedule. My class is right across the hall , so I'll meet you after the first class, have fun!" 

Resaman smiled nervously and walked into the room. It was pretty huge. She scanned the crowd for someone to sit next to. That's when she spots a girl in one of the back rows. She looked friendly. The girl had a pair of earpods in her ears and seemed to be minding her own business. Nevertheless she decided to go and sit next to her. She sat next to the girl, the girl glanced at her removed the earpods and smiled at her. She smiled and said, " Hey, I'm Ritika".  Resaman smiled back and said, " Hey I'm Resaman , I'll be here for the semester." Ritika asked, " Oh so you're the kid from the student exchange program". She nodded her head. Ritika said , " Well welcome to the campus, we can hangout after class I can introduce you to some of my folks here." 

Their conversation was interrupted by a loud noise by the door. The source of the sound was from a girl with bright red hair and she seemed to be arguing with an older man. Resaman asked Ritika about the girl. Ritika replied, " Oh that's Bella. She always have something going on with her you never know. It's safe to say that you clear ahead of her. She is known to have an explosive temper. But yeah that's for you to judge." Resaman nodded acknowledging what she had said. Bella walked into the rows and went to the back and sat there sulking. The older man she was arguing with was the professor of one of the papers she had opted for the semester. Soon the lecture began she started jotting down what the Professor was saying.

The girls walked outside the class when Conan approached them from the other class. Conan said, " So I see you have met Ritika." Resaman said, " Oh you guys know each other?" Ritika replied, " Yeah we are in the same music society." Resaman said, " Oh that's nice." Ritika looked towards the hall and suddenly smiled. She said, " Hey I'll introduce you to my best friend!" She shouted, " Harry!" A guy with bright green eyes looked at them and started to walk towards them. Resaman looked at the guy with awe. He was quite good looking and had adorned a charming smile. The guy stood in front of her and spoke, " Hi I'm Harry Styles, you're the exchange student right?"
