What are we?

Part 3

"Today you got an idea about boxer and Clover, then we have this Napolean, soon you will know how things will turn in this story. If you get time then finish reading it, it is a good story." The teacher smiled, "So students see you next week." The teacher left.

Zoya stretched her hands and yarned, "I thought I would end up sleeping for sure."
Kiran spoke, "You slept, girl."
"Did I?"
"Yes for a few seconds, when the window closed all of a sudden you opened your eyes."
"How do you not feel sleepy at all?"
Sara came with a comb, "We sleep more and stay close to the college."
Zoya nodded, "True. Travelling is super tiresome in these private buses."
Sara kept her hand on Zoya's hair, "I will do you hair." She said.

Zoya smiled, "Sure!"

Sara untied her ponytail, and then began to comb it, she French braided her hair and left the left side free.

Sara asked Kiran, "How is it?"
"Good."

Zoya took her phone, "Yeah, better than my boring ponytail."
Nithya looked at Zoya and pointed her finger to the door.

Zoya followed, Ethen was peeking inside their classroom then came inside, one hand in the pocket.

"Hey," Zoya said.

"No class today?"
"This hour free, next hour no idea." Zoya got up lifting her bag from the floor and keeping her comb in it. She then caught his arms and headed outside.

"I slept the first hour itself."

"Really? When I peeked in you seem attentive."
"You did?"
"Yes, just to check if there was any teacher."

"Great, why do you people never have a class!"
Ethen fake laughed, "Because we are the super seniors of this department."
Zoya stared at him, "You find that funny?"
"Leave it." Ethen sat on the parapet.

"Are you bored of me Ethe?"
"No."

"Be honest."
"It will change, as you said 'Time',"
"I am sorry."
"It's fine."
"Why do you still stay with me? You have many girls around you."

"This is called love Zo."

"I feel bad for you."

"You needn't be. Just try to recover fast."

"Ok, I will."

"How is your friend Aani."
"It's Aanya."
"Yeah, whatever."
"She is not so good, Peter her boyfriend is being super harsh to her and she was crying yesterday on the phone."
"Oh boy. How is he?"

"Peter?"
"Yes."
"She says that he has a very bad environment at home and he lacks motivation, no college nothing, just drives and earns money. The entire family depends on him."
"Almost like your situation."
"Not the same but yeah, somewhat."
"How is she today? Better?"
"Kind of. She will again talk to him today and will spoil her mood again."
"Don't interfere in their relationship okay? Later on, you will be blamed."
"I won't interfere but it hurts to see your best friend suffering so much."

"Can understand, but he may change, and If that makes her happy then why not support her."
Zoya came closer, "It's not that I am not supportive, I just want him to be a little more kind to her, it's not like she is not understanding him, I don't think he will ever get a girl who will understand him as much as she does."
"Okay, leave it."
Zoya was silent.

Ethen got down from the parapet. "Let's go to the second floor."
Zoya agreed and followed him, they sat on the stairs on the second floor heading to the terrace.

"What were you doing in the first hour?"
"Ayush came to class, he said that he would be on leave, but he came and all of us were with him laughing. Then we went to the canteen."
