Three

It's my first day of college and the first class is my practical class of Pharmaceutical Analysis. I have no clue about this subject or this course all I know is my parents have paid a hefty amount as my college fees and one day I'm going to get successful because first I'm going to pay the double of that amount back to them and second I love expensive shit.

I reached the lab and saw the front door besieged by so many students. Now my anxiety's showing up and I heard someone, "Hi, what's your name?", it was a girl looking approximately my age but not form somewhere here. "Hi I'm Ashi. What's your name?" I asked her. She replied with, "I'm Suhani your new batchmate and well I don't see a lab coat with you". "Wait we're supposed to bring lab coat?", I asked her as if it wasn't the most obvious question.
"Well what do you think you're going to do in a lab without a lab coat?", Suhani replied with a sassy tone.
Wow I like her, was my first instinct about her. So just like that she took me with her to the tuck shop to buy me a coat.

I reached the lab and it was already filled with so many students, students from different parts of India.
I introduced myself to a bunch and so far I liked this. I liked talking to everyone about their culture, from where they belong to and most importantly why did they join this course. Four hours of lab were completed in no time and it was the break which meant, "hi baby, how was your first class? Did you make friends? Was everyone nice with you ? Did you talk to anyone? Did anyone say anything to you?" I laughed because these were all the questions I already knew were coming my way. "Ishan I'm alright, so far it's nice I've talked to some students and also made one friend with whom I'm going in my class. I'll have my lunch there." I replied him.
"That's a good thing you've made friends just the first day of you being there and obviously why wouldn't anyone want to be your friend?"ishan replied with a sad tone. "Hey what is it? Why are you sounding so sad about this?" I asked him to which he replied, " you know I miss you and it's the first day I've to spend without talking to you like 24/7. It already sounds dreary."

"It's just a few more hours then I'll be home and the first thing I'll do as I reach home would ring you and blabber about how my day went and you'll love every second of it", I knew it's difficult for him since I'm the one attending college and his college hasn't started yet. "Well I'll call you back later I'm going to have lunch", after this I hung up and went to the classroom. I saw a few people sitting in the class. Somewhere in between there was guy sitting in the middle of the class with his shoes on another chair while he was using his phone. The first thing I noticed about him was his lack of appropriate posture in the class. Not that I'm judging anyone on their looks but he looks like a bully and I'm scared of those people. Even if we're in the same class I don't really think I was ever going to talk or be friends with him. Well atleast that's what I thought.
