Eyes Behold

5. New friends

" Yeah , I'm a sophomore. I and my 3 friends Rock the college campus . We are what they call the famous squad . So if anyone and I mean anyone tries to meddle with you just come over . No one dares to cross our path." She said quite seriously.

Even after knowing her for an hour or so both somehow knew that it was rare for her to be this serious . They wondered why nobody dared to . As if reading their thoughts .

" Simple ,' cause the next day they are simply famous across the campus . Everyone knows about them ." And just like that she skipped back to her giddy mood .

And they just knew never to meddle in this pool .

"I'm glad I'm on your good side then ." Rose laughed nervously. Her phone rang suddenly showing Aunt Avi's call breaking out the weird tension in the room . It couldn't be called a tension for one but whatever it was ,wasn't pleasent at all .

" I'll catch up with you later then . Bye Mels, bye catty ." she dragged on skipping out of the room giggling on hearing a groan .

After talking to her she reached her room . She was about to twist the knob to open it while looking down at her phone when the door flew open suddenly and she stumbled forward into a person.

" Oh !! I'm so sorry ... so so sorry . Are you okay ? Did you get hurt somewhere ? Why am I so stupid ? Now what will she think about me ? Oh god!!! Don't they say the first impression should always be good . " a nervous voice rambled on to no one in particular.

Rose brought her back to the world by tapping her on her shoulder .

" Hey !! That's perfectly fine , I'm perfectly fine and so are you . Don't stress it out . " Rose calmed down the brunette with a sweet smile .

The smile reassured the petite beautiful brunette.Her hazel eyes lit up while her shoulder length curls bounced about . The small mouth of hers stretched out into a somewhat nervous yet a genuine smile .

Her eyes widen again as she stepped aside frantically , " Ugh!! Look at me making you stand out there in the corridor. Come in please".

Rose lightly chuckled at her nervousness and squeezed her shoulder lightly in a reassuring manner soothing her nerves down .

" Hii!! I'm Rose Wilder , the girl with whom you are stuck for a long time now "

She chuckled, " Hey ! I'm Stephanie Jacob , the girl who almost broke her roommate's nose in the first meet "

They both laughed and settled down. Exchanging basic information about each other . They found that their schedule was somewhat the same .

Rose was aiming for multiple fields in medical wanting to help people in any way possible and thus had a few extra subjects while Stephanie was opting to become a psychiatrist. They had many subjects and classes in common .

"Finally I got someone by my side . My schedule last time was completely different from that of my friends . I didn't have any class in common and that was annoying as hell . But now I've got you and I'm so excited" Stephanie bounced on her place .

She was a shy girl and was usually nervous around strangers since her childhood. But it was different with Rose . Her sweet happy and engaging nature made everyone comfortable around her naturally .

Her magic seemed to work on Stephanie too 'cause now she was not a mumbling mess anymore and instead was happily telling her about .'Wait! what was she saying ?' Rose frantically tried to figure out .

She had got so lost in thinking about the Stephanie she met at the door and the one sitting in front of her that she zoned out completely without noticing it at all . She didn't want to seem like the person who didn't care about other's thoughts and just ignored them.
