The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

New entry

Our college is one of the most reputed colleges of Mumbai. "Wilson college of Science and Commerce", as the name goes, it's a college of Science and Commerce. Well, I have taken Science and now, I am always repenting on my worst decision ever. The subject keeps on getting tougher and tougher, making my head 'crack' in pressure piling up.

The guards of my college are typical 'guards', I must say. They won't allow you to enter the college premises until and unless you have an identity card of the college. If you are an ex student of the college, then you must have your college report card, which should depict the college's name. Only then, you are allowed to enter. The professors have their own cards. All this is for security purpose. But, sometimes security puts you into trouble, if you forget to get your identity card. As a student of Wilson college, don't expect any sympathy or mercy from the guards if you forget to bring your identity card. You will be send back home.

Sylvester and I entered the college premises and headed towards our college class. The route to our college class was a long one with respect to the gate from where we enter. On the way to our class, we pass through the library, the college ground, the canteen and the auditorium daily. Sometimes, if Sylvester and I feel too hungry in the initial minutes of the day, then, we don't reach our class only. We sit in the canteen and just pass time.

Bunking classes is our favourite job in the college. Most of the times, me and Sylvester are accompanied by Simran, our another friend. She is another idiot. Bunking classes and wasting time is her pastime, I must say. Not that, I study a lot, but when I am at home, I ensure that I study for atleast 45-50 mins.

I opened the door of our class and all I see is people on cell phones. Girls taking pictures of themselves and guys just playing games on their cells. Chris, our college time pal saw us and greeted us, 'hi'. Same was the reply from us. No one in college cares that you have entered. Everyone is too busy to look anywhere.

It was physics lecture. The subject which helped me to cure my disease of Insomnia. I am an insomniac. It is a disease due to which, one cannot sleep. Physics is just a boring subject. I usually doze off in the initial minutes of the lecture and then, wake up at the final minutes of the same lecture. Professors of college don't give a fuck to you. If you want to sleep, then sleep. If you want to talk, talk. They don't care.

Time passed by and students started entering the class. Soon, the professor entered. As usual, he came in his formals. His face only makes me feel sleepy. No smile, and only study is his rule. His slogan is the worst. "Money is directly proportional to study." Now, I hope, you can understand, how his lecture is a big torture.

I have added sleeping to my hobbies due to our physics sir. Not only me, everyone in our class sleeps during his lecture. And he doesn't give us a shit. Obviously, there are 2-3 students who study and listen to that dumbass physics sir. I wonder, whether these 2-3 students are human or not.

Well, this time, the lecture took a complete turn. For the first time, I was active during the lecture. All because a girl, who came new to the class. Yeah! In the middle of the lecture only, a girl suddenly opens the door and asks the professor for the permission to come inside. We all were happy as there was an interupption in an boring lecture.

The Sir allows the girl to come in. The girl says that her class has been changed. So she will now sit in our class. I don't know about the girls, but all the guys were extremely happy. Now, a really hot and sexy girl will sit in the class. I, being a guy, was dancing internally.

The girl sat and the most boring human on earth started his stupid lecture again. All the girls were busy in their intense eye stares. Top to bottom and then again bottom to top, the eyes of all girls were going like this, filled with jealously towards the new girl. Guys too were looking in that way, but here there was an difference. Here, guys were thinking of making that girl their best friend and then their girlfriend.

I don't pay attention to the sir anyways. So, now I had got a new thing to spend time on. I refrained from sleeping and moved my attention towards the girl.

Wow! A backless jet black top and perfectly straight hair. And those hair were highlighted in strips of golden colour. The girl with hazel eyes wore a jeans of denim. She was sitting right next to me. How lucky I am!!

The whole period went with me looking at her in regular intervals. For the first time, I was enjoying a physics lecture. I don't know, what was happening, but the time which I was spending in the class looking at her was just the one I had imagined about college. For the first time, I was 'alive' in a physics lecture.

Wasn't this a miracle?
