I run as fast as can, the professor is going to kill me today.

As I enter my college my running comes to an end right outside the lecture hall. I huff taking a deep breath before entering, keeping my fingers crossed.

I open the door and try passing through the room with quite steps but I know I have professors attention, although he is still explaining something but I know he  is watching me coming into his class late...., again.

I just hope he let this go one more time, I promise I will be on time but my hopes died as his voice boomed "Miss Smith" I turn around, he couldn't even let me sit "I remember I warned you about coming late into my class?" he cocked his brow at me taking his glasses off "I- I am sorry professor, I actually I am not really doing well these days but I pro-", "You promise to not to do it again?" I nod embarrassed, everyone is looking at me this is the third time this week that professor Bianchi scold me in the middle of the class.

"You promised the same last time as well, Miss Smith" my shoulders lowers in disappointment at myself "I know I have not been sincere lately but believe me I am going to work on myself" I look at him in hope "I think I have warned you enough, meet me in my office right after the class and for now........ get out my class"

After 25 Minutes students start getting out of their classes as the bell rings.

I am standing outside Mr. Bianchi's office afraid of what's coming. Few minutes later I see him coming towards his office. HIs white shirt as crisp as freshly ironed, I look at him through my lashes keep my head down and he passes me giving me a nod to enter his office.

"Sit down Ms. Smith" I seat on the chair in front of his desk and he get comfortable in his chair as well "So, as we know I have been warning from weeks but it seems like you are not interested in classes at all" I slowly move my head to look at Mr. Binachi who is looking at me from his glasses intensely "I apologies for my laid back attitude sir but I love studying and I have been attending all my classes from the start".

He leans back in his chair "I am not interested in cause of this laid back attitude but since your track record is absolutely outstanding I will give you one last chance" I feel relief, This will help me a lot. "I am grateful sir". He nods and start searching something in his drawer. "this is the assignment that you have to complete by the end of this week" I take the stash of paper form him "If you fail to submit it me by the coming Saturday you will not be able to sit in the mid term examination".

What? Yea.. I missed a few classes and yes few of my test did not go that well, but restricting me from taking exams is not fair.

"Sir, please this is too much" I plead but his face is serious as it was before "It is the only chance you have Miss Smith take it or let it go, your choice.'

I look at Mr. Bianchi afraid but nod sincerely "I will surely submit these by the time, sir" He nods and I and ask for his permission to leave thanking him again.

I thought he would scold but at least he gave me a chance. I am some how thankful for it, the assignment will help me get my focus back.

After taking bus from my college I reach Mia's home in about an hour. After so many days I feel hopeful. From the past few days I felt like I am drowning into a hole, a hole of thoughts, over thinking ruined me big time.
