Akshath's POV:

I was at an on-campus coffee stall for a water bottle and saw some seniors beside me calling a girl. She was the same dumb girl I had seen earlier who donated 500 to a fraud.

She seemed nervous and slowly came towards them. They asked for her bio-data and I learned that her name is Sanjana. They asked for her mobile number. When she was about to say something they told her to leave as our college principal was a few meters away.

She increased her pace and headed in the direction of the dorms. I just looked at the whole ordeal and left from there.

The very next day, our math professor tried to humiliate me in front of the whole class. But I just solved the problem and made his mouth shut. I do not want to showcase my skills but at the same time, I cannot let him hurt my ego.

After a few classes, I returned to our apartment. We boys have our own cars. They cannot rely on me as I would leave my classes at any given time if I found it boring. I started to work on an app for a few hours. We had an early dinner and I retired back to my music room.

The next day I went to the university as my grandpa threatened that I should at least have 85% attendance. Jay and Karthik have computer science (CSE) as their main course along with me, and Pranay went ahead with the ECE course. I entered the classroom with Jay and Karthik and we came to know that CSE and ECE are again combined for another subject called basic circuits.

I don't know why the fuck they keep doing this. Don't they have enough professors? Dealing with my class girls is not enough I have to deal with a whole new bunch of girls from another class as well. After I solved the math problem, all the girls flocked around me asking for my number or came up to me in the name of "clarifying the doubts", fuck me sideways. I don't want to take this shit.

"Let's go to the auditorium", muttered Jay leading the way. Once we reached there, I saw Pranay already sitting at our usual place. We joined him and started discussing business concerns.

My friends are fairly intelligent. We all used to spend a lot of time together. That led to Grandpa training every one of us. They are all interested in computers which is a plus point for me. Pranay is the odd one out as he is also interested in hardware. Although I have a fair share of knowledge about hardware, am too lazy to perfect that subject. Hence, that void is filled up by Pranay.

Soon enough, the professor came in and started teaching. This is our 4th class of Basic circuits. These are all very simple but I found this class interesting as the professor taught us how to solve each circuit in different methods. I saw the dumb girl Sanjana talking to her friends. The professor spotted them talking and asked all three girls to stand up. What are we a kinder garden students? Why are professors obsessed with making us stand up?

I am up for the drama that is about to unfold unless I am the center of attention. "Girls, I do not want to shout at you but you are making this very hard for both of us. Just keep quiet and sit down. If I hear any noise from you, I will throw you out of the class and mark you as absent," said the professor throwing them a hard glare.

The girls apologized to the professor and sat down.

"The girl in the blue dress is my friend. Her name is Sanjana. She is very polite. I do not know if she is even capable of talking in the class as she always seems to be following the rules and she is very silent in all our classes", muttered Pranay.

I do think she is somewhat innocent or not at all. I started looking at her with a newfound interest after the information from Pranay. She has a fair skin tone, and silky and shiny hair and she can easily qualify as the most beautiful girl in this room. I averted my eyes and started focusing on the lecture.

Once we were done with the lecture, our professor said that we would have to complete an assignment. "Students, I know that this class consists of students from both ECE and CSE. I am going to divide all of you guys into a group of 5 irrespective of your course. You have to meet up with your partners and complete this assignment by next Friday. You have to design your circuits and they have to be physically functional. Apart from that you have to design the same circuits and show me the outputs in the software called MATLAB", informed the professor.

I signed wondering whom I would partner up with. If I get one of these dumb bitches as a partner, I would be screwed. I cannot clarify their doubts and work on the project at the same time.

"So there are 80 students in total, each batch would have 5 students which makes 16 groups in total," informed our professor. "I made 16 chits writing the group numbers in order. So each one of you will be coming here and picking the chit and handing it over to me and I will be marking your group number in the attendance sheet as well. This way it would be a fair distribution of groups," informed the professor.

Everyone started making their way towards the professor and was divided into groups. I got group no. 5 and I don't even know the other members from our group. After the whole process, the professor started calling names of team members one by one and I just sat there and waited for my turn.

"Group 5: Akshath, Isha, Jay, Rahul, and Sanjana," as soon as the words left his mouth I cursed as I did not want any girls in our group. Then I saw that dumb girl Sanjana looking at me. I am 100% sure that she will not be able to contribute anything to this project considering her history of dumbness.

"Okay students, all the best with your assignments, and cheers to your newfound friendship," said the professor left the classroom.

We have a math class after this in the same room. I just sat there and eventually drifted to sleep as I knew my math professor would not disturb me. Even if he disturbs me, I would solve the problem and go back to sleep.

The bell rang indicating that it was lunch time. I headed towards the cafeteria and started having my lunch with my friends. " Aksh, we have to eventually meet up with our project members right?", reminded Jay.

"Yeah, but I am not in the mood to deal with anything new today. Let's take it up tomorrow as it is Friday and we will work on this on Saturday and Sunday. I don't want to waste a lot of time on this", I replied.

"Okay we will see if all the members agree to this," said Jay. Once the lunch was done, we headed back to our classrooms and were done for the day.

I drove back to my apartment replied to a few emails and rested for a bit.

"Hello my people, I cooked for you guys. So come on and taste this piece of heaven," shouted Pranay from downstairs. I went downstairs and heard Jay yelling. "You mother fucking asshole do you think we can eat this shit? even animals cannot eat that," yelled Jay pointing at a black substance in the pan.

I signed up and started cooking food. Only me and Karthik can cook in our group. Jay knows how to make Maggie, sandwiches, and an omelet. Pranay knows nothing about cooking.

I cooked Pasta and soon we had our dinner. We collectively worked on a few things that our grandpa asked us to and retired to our rooms.
