The alarm was continuously ringing, and Sofia had no plans to wake up. Her mother came to her room to wake her up.
"Sofia, don't you have a class today?" her mother asked, shaking her.
She got up with a jerk and looked at the clock. It was 8:45am.
"What the hell, I've a class at 9am. I'm late. Mama, why didn't you wake me up on time? " she started talking.
"You're not a kid, Sofi. What is this alarm for? Now get ready and come for breakfast. " her mother scolded her while she quickly went to the washroom.
She wore a loose sweater with jeans and a woollen scarf wrapped around her neck. She left her hair open, took her bag, and went downstairs.
"Mama, I can't have breakfast today. I'll eat something from the cafeteria, " she shouted, took her car keys, and went out, and her mother just sighed.

She reached the campus at 9:30 and rushed towards her class. With a deep breath, she pushed open the door, trying not to make a noise but the door creaked and everyone looked at her.
"Sofia, you're late" Professor said
"Sorry, sir, won't happen again," she said with an apologetic smile and started looking for an empty seat. She froze when she found the only vacant seat beside Mustafa. The class was full today as the professor decided to conduct a combined lecture with the juniors.

Sofia's pov
Mustafa was casually sitting there as he's unaware of my presence. I took a deep breath and walked toward the seat. I was about to sit when he looked up, locking eyes with me, and said, "Late as usual." He said it under his breath but was enough for me to hear. I narrowed my eyes at him but stopped myself from saying anything as the class was going on, and I didn't want to ruin my mood even more. I just sat in my seat and tried to focus on the lecture.
"You know, the class starts at 9, not "whenever you feel like it o clock, " he said, tapping his pen on the table
"Thanks for telling me. I'll make sure to set my alarm to "mind your own business" mode next time," I said while gritting my teeth
"Sure, but judging by your track record, you'll mess it up too," he said, and I just wanted to smack his head at that moment
"At least I don't get rusticated," I said with a cheeky smile

Mustafa's pov
I was amused at how she brings this rustication thing whenever we argue. I didn't reply to this comment of hers. She was still glaring at me when the professor clapped his hands, silencing the class
"The lecture ends here, but I have an important announcement. We’re going to have a presentation next week, and it will be done in pairs." Professor said, and the class started murmuring. Sofia glanced around, looking for her potential partner. She was waving at her friend Mehreen as they always made a pair in presentations.
“The pairs will be determined by whoever is sitting next to you right now" Professor said
I immediately raised my hand.
"Yes, Mustafa, is there any problem" Professor asked me with his brow arched
"Why can't we make our pairs ourselves?" I asked
"Because it won't be challenging then. I want you guys to come out of your comfort zones, I've already told what I want. No arguments now, " Professor said and dismissed the class.
Students started packing their stuff and moved out of the class while Sofia groaned.
"We're stuck together, and i hate it," she said,
whining
"I don't love it either," I said, and got up to go out

Sofia and Mehreen were sitting in the cafeteria when Sofia started complaining again.
"Sofi, now you're stuck, so stop whining and start working on the presentation," Mehreen said
"Have you looked at his attitude? How am i going to work with him?" she said when Mustafa came with the other whole group
"It's not like I'm dying to work with you," Mustafa said
"You know, you could try being nice for once." Sofia said, taunting
"Nice? Mustafa scoffed. "To you? "
Sofia was again going to say something when Ahmed intervened as he knew that it would turn into a heated argument.
"Guys, stop it. You can't do anything about it now, so it's better if you work on it together. You both are the toppers of our class. You two being a pair can ace the presentation. Look at the positive aspect, " Ahmed said
"Yes, you two are gonna nail it. I know, " jawaria said, trying to calm them down
"FINE! I don't need your motivational lectures, " Mustafa said and walked away, leaving a fuming Sofia behind.
