Mumbai
6.50 Am

I stretched my hands and looked around the empty bed to spot the alarm.

Hmm 6.50 am Not bad! Not bad! I thought to myself and got up towards the bathroom.

Getting dressed in my jeans and sweatshirt for my first day I went downstairs. To suprass my hunger.

'Couldn't make the lunch today, have cereals for breakfast' The note on the fridge made me smile to myself. picking up the note I made my way towards the ceals box.

Looking around the new city I shifted a month back I made my way towards the metro which was hardly 20 minutes away from where I lived.

I was getting anxious for the first day of my university as the minutes were passing. I was waiting for the metro to arrive.

When it finally did I got inside the metro and looked for a empty seat when my eyes fell on the Little group of people who were looking like students just like me.

There were 4 boys 5 girls.

I made my way towards them and the voices got more stronger.

"Ahh leave me!" a girl around my age shouted.

One guy was holding her hair in a tight grip, making the girl shout in pain.

My legs automatically moved to help her when a someone gripped my arm.

"Don't! You'll get in trouble" a girl around my age whispered to me.

Suddenly flashbacks of me helping a girl exactly a month back flashed infront of my eyes.

"Please leave me!" The sudden scream bought me back to the present.

Well last time when I helped a girl in the same situation didn't work well in my favour. But that doesn't mean I will let a girl get harassed like that infront of me.

Suddenly the voices slowed down when a boy appeared out of the crowd of the boys

He went towards the boy who was holding that girl's hair in a tight grip and removed it.

Thank God! Finally someone helped her.

"No please Saransh leave me!" The girl suddenly shouted again.

The boy who I thought was helping her started laughing.

What? Is he not there to help her?

"What do you think Naina? You will complain against me and I will leave you just like that" The guy who's name was Saransh stated with a mocking smile.

He raised his hand at her and I couldn't take it anymore.

"Leave her! Why are you harassing a girl?!" I shouted at him holding his hand in the middle before it could make contact with her face.

The guy turned around and paused looking at me.

"Who do you think you are huh? To harrass someone like this! And you all are standing there looking at the show? What if it's you in her place? How would you feel?" I shouted looking at everyone and lastly glared at the Saransh guy.

He was just staring at me with amusement and suddenly there was silence.

They all are from my school but why aren't they doing anything?
