Sarah POV
'You joining us for lunch'? asked Vidya as she was stuffing her mouth with chocolate coated doughnut while checking her phone. I was on my phone too as we were just after College Algebra seated in the student lounge. 'You go ahead Vidya, I brought lunch from home and I got to pray too' I said while texting my friend Zara who is the only one I share everything.
After Vidya left for lunch with some senior dudes I thought I better go to pray so I got up from the sofa and made my way to the fourth floor to the prayer room and I was currently in the fifth floor and of course there's an elevator but I don't risk using it unless I'm with some known fellows, because I don't want to confront any uncomfortable situations and yeah I did experience such awkward instances good three times, one was on a day when I had to rush to my transport I got on to the lift and I was in a hurry and some dudes were smoking inside and the smell was just very strong enough to kill a person for passive smoking in just one shot and I didn't make any move to look who they were but I knew it was some seniors and there were some girls too who were chit chatting with them. And the second incident was one early morning I got in with another girl and she was using her phone and I was doing the same and also take note there is no any internet connection in the lift as it is in most of the elevators, but I don't know what people are doing but anyways I was checking my schedule for that day and then I saw her checking me out once in awhile and I looked up to her and smiled and then again I felt her eyes burning on me, okay I was stressed a bit right then, was it normal for a girl to stare at a girl than the time slot a girl gives another look to a girl actually, I mean c'mon we both are girls and that's weird, anyways and this lift was freaking slow and we were heading from the ground floor to the fifth floor and her stares were still on me and finally we reached the lounge and I raced out not looking back at her and also I didn't create a scene like running away from her, I just did it in a smart way actually, and told my friend Amra who was the only Muslim girl in my batch and she wore a black hoodie paired with jeans and left her hair loosely on that day, I really didn't know she was a Muslim until she mentioned her name and yeah she is a cool character so far at college, she is an English major while I'm a psychology major. And to my surprise she had experienced the burning stares from the same girl two days back before I mentioned what happened in the lift on that day. And few days after the incident we came to know she was attracted to girls and one of her video kissing another girl was going viral and I was freaked out was taken aback, it's not like I'm new to it but still I didn't expect me to experience it. And the third time was when I was the only one in the lift and the elevator just shook for a millisecond and I already got a mini panic attack and I dashed out of the elevator when I reached the floor I wanted. So those were the traumatic incidents that keeps me away from using the elevator at the college all by myself. I get in only with my folks so that I'm not in any risk. So that it doesn't mean I'm a scary chic, but yeah I'm not interested to get myself into any unwanted problems you know ...
So my day at college today was more of breaks and less of lectures. Rest of the day after lunch was that I was seated for a three hour boring lecture where I had my eyes barely open and Amra was beside me while she was scribbling some Korean letters and where I have no idea what it was and Shehani beside me texting her boyfriend and yes yeah you guessed correct I'm stuck right in the middle with these two in the American government lecture which is a compulsory and a useless course where we are left with no options other than to pick it up. And when this lecture was done I gave a call to my Ummi (mom) and told her that I'm done for the day and spoke to her for sometime and then I headed to pray asr and went to the library till my transport came to pick me .
So unlike the stories I read on Wattpad I don't go by own car ..lol anyways I live at a distance of two hour drive to the college from home so I'm waiting till 5:30 pm for the transport, in the library I just keep checking my phone as if I'm into some important work and then I head home in the bus and reach home around at 8pm. So my days goes like this and it's just one month after I'm done with school. I joined college with pending results. I reached home and told every incident in detail to ummi and my sister Areeza. My brother Ayaan doesn't bother to listen anyways. 'You better record or video it next time so that you can save your time and energy without blabbering here' is what Ayaan said I just rolled my eyes and continued telling till I was done, and then I had a shower and got into the covers and fell fast asleep.Hope you guys like this chapter.
