Blood And Bone

chapter 1

I hate it. I absolutely hate this place , slowly noise around me starts to fade away as i realize where the hell i am. Nalanda university of medical science (NUMS) one of the top medical colleges in the world. I cant do this , why am i so stubborn? why didn't i listen to Devin! I need to go home , i stood up abruptly and i heard a name being called , "Zaria".

"Are you zaria?" a women , who's now standing in front of me asked. she's wearing some kind of blue uniform kinda thing and her hair is in tight bun. I just nod at her and she asked me to follow her. I followed her blindly through the many rights and lefts she took , i didn't even register the path i am walking. The only thing in my mind right now is how am i going to survive here , in my whole life i have never been to this place but i have heard so much about this place, so much good and exciting stuff but when i am finally here i don't feel the same.

The corridors are white and long with waiting areas filled with people , as usual this place also smells like every other hospitals out their. Anyhow this place feels familiar to me , even though i have never been to this place before. Its just not giving the same vibe like the vibe i felt when i heard about this place. Its just giving me a ignorance and un-disciplinary vibes.

The women whom i am following stopped in front of a door and turned back to me , "go in there". she nod her head towards the door. Her face is so dull and i can say that she loves her job!
I smiled a little at my own lame sarcasm and without acknowledging the women i went inside through the door.
The first thing i saw as i enter the room is , the women who's dressed in a pants and suits is sitting behind a desk doing something in her computer. Her dressing is so different compared to the people who work at hospital. She look up at me from her computer and she gave me a very well habited fake smile "please sit down". I sat down in front of her and she started searching something in between the pile of papers at her table. "we don't usually allow students this late to get admissions no matter what but you're the exception and i am sure you know why" the women talked while still searching for whatever it is.
OfCourse i know why i am the exception , but i am sure that she doesn't know the reason why i am a month late to get my admission letter for my 1st year MBBS. Yes i studied very very , i mean 'no proper sleep for an year' kinda hard to get my admission here. This university only accepts students who got ranked from 1 to 70 in NEET exam. Every year this university only accepts 70 students and every student here will be on scholarship , no matter how rich you are , if you are not on top 70 you will not get admission here . "here is your admission letter and the dorm details" the women in front of me handed me a file. I took the file with a thank you. I stood up to leave , "wait!" the women speak again "there will be a girl outside and she will show you around" i just nod at her and was about to leave and she speak AGAIN "not much of a talker huh! Anyway all the best". with that she let me leave the room and as she told before there's a girl waiting outside. She's doing something in her phone and she's wearing an apron.

She just took a glance at me and she said "follow me , i will show you around" and she started walking. As she insisted , i followed her and i think we are going opposite from the way i just entered this building. We walked into a beautiful garden as we exit the building, the garden is in the middle of the two buildings and its breath taking. There wasn't much time for me to admire the garden as i don't want to keep the girl who's showing me around to keep waiting. We both reached the second building and its calm and less crowdy compared to the building we just left.

"This is the academic block and the building we were before is the hospital." The girl said. "your classes starts early , you have to be here at exactly 8 am , if you are late then you will not be allowed to the classes." she turned back at me "are you listening?" she raise her eyebrow in a question. I just nod as to answer her question. She sighed un-interestingly and started walking again. She showed me classrooms , anatomy , biochemistry . physiology , and some other labs. After a lot of walking we finally exit the building and i see the dormitory buildings to my right and left and in between them is a canteen. The girl takes a right and that must be the girl dormitory. At the entrance of the dormitory there was a women sitting and we both walked to her.

"I need to know , which room is allotted to ahh.." the girl looked at me and asked " What's your name?"

"Zariya" i answer her. She turned back to the lady and starts speaking to her again but i didn't mind their conversation. I checked my phone and there is a text from Arya asking me if everything is okay , i replied a quick 'okay' text to him as the girl takes the key from the lady and turned towards me handing me the keys. "Your room number is 257 and here are your keys. If you have any questions , just don't bother asking anyone because they wont answer. You do know how a medical college works right" i nod at her as i took the keys from her. "Good and i am done here , you will be on your own from now onwards" she said and left. Her words are like a cold water splash to my sleepy face. I am on my own in this place and its scaring me , worst thing is i have to suck it up and stay here until i graduate. I sigh and start walking towards my room , some girls gave me stares and others look me from my toe to head as i am searching for my room. I finally found my room after a lot of stares and glares , i don't have a roommate and the room is spacious for a single person. I didn't bring anything with me not books not clothes. I just have to order everything from online and i am planning to do that tonight. There's a Bed , study table , chair and a attached bathroom. I throwed my backpack on the study table and i went straight to bed as i am exhausted from everything , as soon as my face touched the pillow i fell into sleep.

A loud banging sound startled me up from my sleep. I am covered in sweat and i am panicking , i am checking my surroundings like crazy but i relax a little as i registered where i am. I take a deep breath to calm myself down but i my body scare jerked again as i heard the banging sound again , someone is knocking at my room door. I rubbed the sweat off my face with my elbow and went to open the door. There are two girls standing at my door with a overly sweet smile on their face , with a hesitant voice i asked "Umm hi , can i help you ".

"Yes you can " with that said they both put a black cloth over my head and before i react someone injected something to my arm.
