I went for my second class and sat down. After few minutes I saw Emilie entered, I could sense she was upset about something. "Hey Emilie over here" I waved at her. She smiled at me which I knew wasn't a genuine one. She came and sat beside me. "Hey, you look upset did something happened"? I asked. "No, I'm not upset" she claimed. "I can sense that you are upset it's fine if you don't feel comfortable confiding in me for now since we just met but don't be upset whatever it is, it will be okay" I assured her. She smiled and nodded.

Our second class got over and it was time for us to head back home since it was our first day we only had two classes. From tomorrow onwards we were going to have full classes. "Where do you live I asked her?" I asked. "Just 3 minutes away from campus" she said. "I can drop you" I said. "No..no it's totally fine I can walk by myself it's not that far" Emilie said. "Alright, see ya tomorrow then" I said. We said bye to each other and I went to get my bike. "ROBERT!!!!!" Luke came screaming at me .

"Bro how could you forget me?" Luke asked in a sarcastic way

"Bro how could you forget me?" Luke asked in a sarcastic way. I laughed "No Luke I didn't I was about to call you right now" I said. "Who's that girl you were talking to now?" Luke asked. I couldn't tell him that I have a crush on Emilie after what I told him in the morning. I knew he would tease me for the rest of weeks. I thought of telling him after few days. "Oh, that's our batchmate". I said. "I see, did you forget me for that new girl?" Luke asked in a doubtful way. "No... bro I just met her in my chemistry class she just needed some help from me." I justified. I knew Luke would not believe me since we have been best friends for 10 years. He could tell everything just by looking at my poker face. I tried my best to make him believe that it was nothing and he believed it. Thank God!!. "Alright, can you drop me home bro?" he asked. "Sure" I said. I dropped Luke to this home and headed back for my home.

I reached home after 5 minutes. The house was empty since my mom is a working lady so she will be at home by evening. I headed upstairs for my room and found the letter in my room it was from my mom it was written that mom had a meeting today so she will be returning home late.

After freshening up I did some of my classwork and called my dad. My dad was coming home the next week and I was pretty excited to meet him after a long time. "Son how was your first day at SUMT?" asked my dad. "It was pretty good dad I completed my classwork before calling you. "I said. "Well done son, I'm happy you have been always a good boy I hope you find someone good in your life" I smiled. The thought of Emilie made me smiled those pretty of eyes of her, the way she smiled whenever we talked it made me feel like I was seeing a dream for a moment. " Son, are you listening?" my dad asked. "Ye..yes dad" I stammered. "Did you meet someone?" dad asked playfully. "How... how did you know?" I asked in a nervous way. "Robert, I'm your dad I can tell it from your voice and for the fact that you have been spacing out during convo tells me that you are thinking about someone you recently met" dad claimed. "Actually dad there is this girl Emilie we are enrolled in same course and I had a crush on her the moment I saw her" I said. I could tell my dad was smiling through the phone. Me and my dad have been like best friends I could tell him everything and I'm glad to have such a wonderful dad in my life. "Son, that's a good news but remember if she doesn't feel the same way don't be disheartened and accept it like a gentleman" dad said. "Yes dad I will remember". We both said goodnight to each other and by then my mom was home.
