A Demon Friend Inside Me

CHAPTER 3: FIRST DAY IN COLLEGE

Next day
Raj was sleeping on the couch in the hall, and suddenly his phone rang.

He was in his dream, and he picked up the call and said hello.

His father started to shout at him and told him to go to college.

When his father shouted at him, his sleep was gone, and he woke up properly.

His whole mood was ruined, and now he's in a very bad mood and doesn't want to go to college.

But now he doesn't have any options. So he stood up and went into the bathroom, got a shower, and got ready for college.

Raj's Pov 

This man is a complete mess. Why does he always torture me? 

That college is bullsh*t, and there is nothing for me. 

I will only go today, and then I will never go to college.

I got ready, picked up the car keys, and headed to college.

I reached college and parked my car.

I didn't expect you to be here. (Mr. Sharma said.)

But unfortunately, I'm here. (I replied.)

I think you should control your attitude and respect your elders. What do you think about it? (He asked me.)

Ya, I think you are right, but I don't think everyone deserves respect. 

You are so arrogant, Raj.

Sir, I really don't like your college, and today I came here because I wanted to see their faculties and their teaching methods. If I like it, I will come every day and don't give you any complaints, but if I don't, then you have to do some work for me.

What work?

You have to handle my attendance here.

We don't do that here, and I don't care if you come daily or not. There is no loss for me.
Okay, cool. Then he left, and I went into the classroom.

The class was filled with students, and all of them were talking with someone or making friends.

I came up, went to the empty seat, and sat down.

I looked around; some girls were looking at me, but I ignored them and opened my phone and started using Instagram.

After some time, the professor came up, introduced himself, and started teaching.
I saw a girl in the class who looked similar to my old friend. But I didn't pay a lot of attention to her.

The professor asked questions to the whole class, but there were only three to four students who gave the right answer, and of course I also gave the answer because I already have a lot of knowledge about technology and coding.

The girl who looked similar to my friend had a lot of knowledge and looked smart, but, as I said, I didn't pay attention to girls. I had a goal for my life and set priorities.

The professor teaches well, and I think I should come here daily to achieve my goals because I can't learn everything alone.

The lecture ends, and another one starts. The faculty is looking okay and supportive; maybe I can survive here.

After finishing all the lectures, the college ends, and everyone starts to leave.

I packed my bag and went outside of the class.
(Mr. Sharma stood out of the class.)

So, Mr. Pathak. How's your experience?
{Not again, this man.

I made a fake smile on my face.}

Ya, it's quite impressive. I think I should come here daily.

That's good. So, see you soon.

Then he left, and I came into the parking area, and a girl was looking at me. I didn't see her face, so I moved forward, sat in my car, and went to the house.

While driving, I saw a restaurant, and I took some food.

After reaching the house, I parked the car, went into the house, and opened the lights.
Then I went into the kitchen, got the spoon, and started to eat.

Food is the best medicine for anger. Every time, it helps me to calm my mind.

After eating, I opened the laptop and started to work on it.

While working, I think about the demon and the mirror.

And some curiosity was born in my head, and I went back into the bedroom. I looked in the mirror and said slowly, Demon, are you there?

But nothing just happened. I'll try again and say, Demon, are you there?

But there is no reflection on the mirror. So I thought it was just my dream, and when I turned back, a whispering sound came into my ear, and the sound said, I'm always there for you.
