Were we....meant to be?

Chapter 3

After a week

I woke up, showered and made my books according to today's lectures. When I stepped out of the room, I found that Niharika was coming towards my room with a grin on her face.

"Morning"

I smiled.

"Morning"

We started walking towards class 5678B, today our biology class was shifted to other building. Since it happens in colleges, you know. I sat in the fourth row, on the 5th seat with Niharika on my side. As usual, the boy with a red shirt who came in the first bio class, came again. Andddd as usual Niharika's eyes were on him. i SIGHED.

'Everyone is getting someone in their life. and here my bestie and me........

PURE. SINGLE. BEANS.'

I shook my head and sat straight when Mr. Sinha entered. we all stood up and greeted him. He nodded his head and we sat down. He started teaching and we all (as usual only the freshers) started making notes. After the class ended Niharika turned towards me and put a hand on my shoulder asking

"Hey Shrishti, are you free after today's lectures a little?"

I scrunched my brows together in confusion.

"Uh....why?"

"Actually, I was thinking since it has been week of you coming here, we should hang out a little. what do you say?"

I thought for a moment and shrugged my shoulders.

"Sure."

Niharika, pleased with the answer, smiled and stood up. When all of today's lectures ended, I came back to my room only to find a new girl there, sitting on the other bed. I, knowing well that she is my roommate, smiled and closed the door behind me. 

I know, now you will say that she was about to come the day after I came here then how did she is here after a week time. So, what happened is.

She had to talk about the fees and her course, and had some document work left, so....she came here a week later. 

After putting my books on my table. I went towards her and put my hand forward for a shake. 

she smiled gratefully and accepted it.

"so....what's your name?"

I asked when she dropped the hand.

"Shruti. Shruti Verma. and you?"

"Shrishti Tyagi."

"oh...so can I ask you something? if you won't mind?"

I tilted my head a little in confusion.

"uh....yeah?"

"since...you have been here for a week. Are there any bullies?"

I smiled.

"No do not worry about that."

she sighed in relief.

"Thank god"

I raised a brow in confusion. When I was about to ask her something, a knock at the door interrupted. I stood up and opened the door, only to find Niharika with folded hands looking at her watch. When she noticed that the door is opened. She looked up at me and smiled.

"ready?"

I, clearly not ready, pursued my lips and shook my head. Her smile faded a little and her mouth formed and 'o' shape when she said

"oh...."

"but don't worry, just give me a minute. ok?"

Niharika nodded.
