Cliché But Not Too Cliché

chapter one

I was walking through the indoor yard the cold air brushing through my hair. I was going to the cafeteria, my bag slung on one shoulder humming my way.

When all of a sudden, something hit me on my chin! The assaulter ran so fast that I couldn't see who it was. But I could see that she was wearing a hijab.
And I got stabbed by a pin!

I didn't realise that until Achar said, " did you want a beard that bad that you had to shave" ."umm, I never shaved" I said confused.and what's with the no beard jokes.

"Well you tell me, why do you have a cut under your chin"he said pointing at my chin.

I reached my hand to my chin to feel something wet. God damn it! "I was stabbed by a pin",I said walking to the bathroom.

"What?!", Asked Achar visibly confused and curious. "Well, long story short, I got head-butted in the chin and they were wearing a hijab so i got stabbed by a pin", I say, washing the wound and putting a bandade on it.

Achar started laughing hysterically. typical. Some how my downfall was amusing to him.

"Well, I would have sold a kidney to see that",he said clutching the side of a nearby basin.

I just rolled my eyes in annoyance. He knew how to get under my skin. And maybe that's why we are friends.

After lunch I started for my class. I entered the class. It looked like a quarter of a stadium. The seats for the students were elevated so that everyone could se the chalk board. I scanned the class to look for a seat.

When I saw a all to familiar brown hijab. It way the chin assaulter!

I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder, she slowly turned around. A pair of siren eyes met mine. She had a heart shaped face,her cheeks and lips were of the same rosy Glow. She looked up at me and gave me her brightest smile,I think.

But i wasn't going to fall for that. "Apologies",I said earning myself a confused look."Apologies",I repeated a bit louder to assert my dominance.

"For what?", she asked with a frown.

"For literally head-butting in to my chin today",I said matter of factly. The people around her, assuming it's her friends, started to whisper to eachother.

Her frown deepened "if you didn't stand there like an actual lampost,we both would have been fine",she says, rubbing the top of her head.

I was happy she was in pain. Should have bonked her harder, given her a concussion.

"No we both would have been fine if you weren't walking like a blind person",I responded.

She was about the spit out a reply.when the teacher walked in. We all took our seats. I sat right behind her.

I will confront her even if it's the last thing I do. It was orientation class anyway. So it really didn't matter like the matter in hand.
