Resaman looked at the guy who has come before her. He gave her his wide goofy smile and looked at her while she was locked in a short trance. And Ritika snapped her fingers to break her out of the trance, "Welcome to earth girl" and laughed. "This is my best friend Harry and Harry this is my new classmate and yes she's the new exchange student for the semester". Harry nodded and said, "Ritika and I became friends when she joined the university for the semester, I am her senior and we met because we had the same extra credit classes-", "And the rest is history," said Ritika with a grin. Resaman wondered if there was something more to them and just then she saw another guy clad in a simple cream sweater and black jeans walk up behind Ritika and hug her. "Aiden!", exclaimed Ritika and turned around gave a hug and a peck on Aiden's cheeks.
"Resaman this is my boyfriend Aiden he's an astronomy major at the university and we've been together for almost two years," said Ritika and the tall grey-eyed guy looked at her lovingly as she spoke. "Well Aiden and I will meet you at the cafe near the campus in the evening, Harry are you going to join us today?" Harry nodded and turned to see Resaman looking at him and smiled back at her. Resaman blushed and looked at Conan who's been standing there in the corner looked at her with a smirk as if he knew something was going on. She glared at him warning him not to laugh.

Resaman entered the Gangy Cafe with Conan her designated driver for the evening since she's still new to whole the place. The cafe was very...hip. It had a recurring theme of the '80s, with posters of American as well as some familiar British musicians. The place had a black statement wall (which was her favourite colour) where all the music memorabilia was kept. There was also a narrow and tall bookshelf in the corner where a group of kids were huddled up reading. "This cafe is one of the main spots near the campus and is run by one of the former students of our university for almost 2 decades," says Conan as Resaman searches the crowd for the table with the folks who invited them and spotted Ritika at the counter ordering stuff and Conan went towards the table where Aiden and Conan sat and chatted.
The girls hugged as they met and had a conversation till the order was ready to be served. "Aiden could you come over and take the stuff over to the table while I show Resaman some hotspots of the cafe.", Ritika asks Aiden. Ritika takes her to the statement wall and says " This is one of the main attractions of the cafe as you have noticed while entering, these are the things that the owner collected over the years and is one of the reasons why it is the hub of most of the members of the music society of our university. But yeah it's not limited to only one group of people, we have kids from the literary society and kids in general and the owner conducts an Open Mic session every year where people sing, recite poetry or do standup." That piqued her interest and tells Ritika, "Actually I have recently started to try my hand in standup I did perform in the fresher's Open Mic Session last semester at my college back in India." says Resaman. "That's so cool, you can probably take part in this year's open mic too" replies Ritika. Resaman was about to respond when she sees Harry enter the cafe. He sees them too and waves. "What's going on here?" he asks Ritika, " I was just showing the memorabilia wall to Resaman, just music nerd stuff. Resaman did you know that Harry is quite the singer." says Ritika. " Really?" asks Ritika looking at Harry and he blushes and nods. The three of them goes to the table and started chatting up.
"We have a three-day break coming up in the weekend because we have our annual rugby game coming up next week, so we planned a camping trip in a nearby spot for the break, would you like to join us?" asks Ritika. " Who all will be there?" asks Resaman, hoping that Harry will be there so she can get to know him more. " Oh, it will be me, Aiden, Harry and two other girls who I'll introduce you to them if you'd like to join us," she says. " Okay I'll let you know tonight, Conan what're your plans for the weekend?" she asks him. " I'm actually attending a concert with some of my friends over the weekend and I'll probably visit my family, you go have fun okay?" he says with a smile. She smiles back and nods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resaman decides to go for the trip, she thought it will be a good opportunity to meet people ( also Harry) and she was here for an adventure anyways might as well take the chance. She lets her family back at home know about the trip and packs a bag of some of the things she might need for the weekend.
She also decides to explore a bit of the campus before the weekend. She walks by some of the places like the library, sports building, on-campus dining hall where she decides to go grab a cup of coffee. She stands there and that's when she notices Bella from the first class. Bella looks at her and Resaman flashes a nervous smile. "You must be new around here," says Bella with a snarl. " Yeah why?" asks Resaman, "No reason, Hi I'm Bella Thorne," she says. " Hi, I'm Resaman." Bella nods and walks away. That was strange Resaman thinks. She grabs her coffee and leaves.
