Oh, my goodness! Kabir and I were late for our very first lecture of this year. When we realized we were late for the lecture, we hurriedly got up. "Ouch my head," Kabir said, rubbing his head as he banged it on the bed's headrest. That was tough. I'm sorry, Kabir, but I don't have time to console you. " Get up, Kabir. Don't be a kid. Get changed. I will go to the bathroom. You change in the room." I said it annoyingly and hurried towards the bathroom. "First, Aakansha used to rule over me. Now it's my roommate's turn." I heard him say it behind my back, but I didn't pay heed to it. I washed up and dressed as fast as I could. After we were both ready, we ran out of the room, as there was only half an hour left before the class began.

Before going to the lecture room, we dropped by the admin office to take our timetable for the semester. "Ms. Collette I am Aayansh Singhania. We are here to get our timetable," I said hurriedly. "Sure, but Mr. Sighnania and Mr. Malhotra, you have to hurry as you are already late for your first class," Ms. Collette said while giving us our timetable for the semester.

"Thank you, Ms. Collette," I replied as we quickly grabbed our timetables and rushed to the lecture room. As we entered the class, all the attention was on us, and the professor gave us a disapproving look for being late. We thought to sit down quietly, but the professor said, "Names?" We hesitantly told him our names, " Aayansh, sir," and Kabir followed suit and told his name. The professor said, "It's the very first lecture, and you guys are late." Shameless!" He gestured for us to take our seats at the back of the room.

Aakansha's POV

Those latecomers were my brother and Aayansh. My brother, the Great Kabir Malhotra, who never gets up late in the mornings, is late today. That's the first time,  I nudged Myra and whispered, "I can't believe Kabir is late on the very first day." Myra just rolled her eyes and replied, "Well, at least he's not alone in being late." "Yeah, he found his second partner in crime," I replied. I couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment as they made their way to the back of the room, drawing attention to themselves. 

It was not the best way to make a first impression on the professor. The first lecture was quite informative and engaging. During the Lecture, I was able to feel a constant stare of someone in the back of my head. I turned around to see a student with a curious expression, and I couldn't shake the feeling that they were watching me closely.

 It made me slightly uncomfortable, but I tried to focus on the lecture and ignore the distractions. As the lecture continued, I found myself getting more and more distracted by the student's gaze.  Despite my best efforts to pay attention to the lecture, I couldn't shake the feeling of being under scrutiny. It was a relief when the class finally ended, and I could escape the intensity of the student's stare.

As the lecture concluded, I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see Kabir. "Myra, wait," he said as he approached me. "Can we talk for a moment in private?" "No, there's nothing left to discuss," I replied, showing him my hand to cut him off. "Please excuse me, Mr. Malhotra; I have a lecture to attend," I said and walked away. Kabir looked hurt, but I couldn't engage in a conversation that would only lead to more heartache. I walked away, feeling a mix of relief and sadness.

 As I was about to enter the lecture hall, I noticed Aakansha lost in her thoughts. "Earth to Aakansha," I said. She snapped out of her reverie and smiled. "Sorry, what were you saying?" I chuckled and replied, "Just checking to see if you're okay; you seem a bit lost." She reassured me, "I'm fine; just thinking about something unimportant. I'll tell you later." I nodded, and we walked into the lecture hall together, finding our seats. The first day at university was coming to an end. After our last lecture, Aakansha and I headed to the canteen to grab some coffee before returning to our dorm for some rest.

When we reached the cafeteria, I was amazed by its interior. It felt like a mini on-campus Starbucks with lots of coffee and snack options. While I marveled at it, I heard Myra say, "It's amazing, right? I didn't know colleges had such beautiful cafes." "I know, right?" I replied. "Okay, enough admiring this fantastic cafe.

" Tell me what you want;  my treat," Myra said. "And why is that, Missy?" I asked. "Because I know something happened in the first lecture that made you uncomfortable," she replied. "Oh, that was nothing," I said. "Anyway, we can split the bill, okay, Miss Sinha?" I added. She chuckled and said, "That's more like it." "I'll go order. What will you have?" I asked. "I will have a Matcha Latte, please," she replied. "Okay," I said and walked toward the counter. While I was in the queue, I heard someone say, "Hi, sweetie, I am Alex. What is your name?" His voice annoyed me, and I completely ignored him as I placed our orders and quickly returned to Myra.
