"So, have any siblings?" Aisha smiled as we walked around the campus.
"No, I'm an only child" I sighed.
"We have something in common!" She smiled and said with excitement in her voice.
"Priya!" Someone Yelled from behind us. We turned around and Aman was running right towards us.
"Hey Priya!" Aman said stopping in front of us and catching his breath.
"Hi Aman" I smiled. Aisha was staring at Aman like she knew him but didn't want to say anything.
"Uhh, Aisha this is Aman... the guy I told you about." I smiled and let them take it away.
"Hi Aisha, I'm Aman Mathur" Aman said placing his hand out in front of Aisha.
"Hi Aman, I'm Aisha Manzano" Aisha said smiling and shaking his hand.
"Where are you guys going?" Aman said breaking the contact between Aisha's hand and smiling.
"We are going back to our dorm" I replied shifting the books around in my arms.
"Okay... then?" Aman said practically jumping in his spot.
"Then?" Aisha said raising an eyebrow at Aman.
"Oh come on guys, why don't we all hang out" Aman said smiling at us.
"It wouldn't hurt to get to know you a bit more" I mumbled and Aisha stared at me.
"C'mon Aisha! Let's hang out!" Aman said in a pleading voice.
"Fine." Aisha said losing the battle.
"Good meet me around the old willow tree, Aisha will know where that is." Aman said running in another direction and out of our sight.
"Let's go put our stuff away" Aisha smiled and we walked towards our dorm building. We walked to our dorm and when we reached the dorm, Aisha pulled out her key and we walked in. There was a bouquet of flowers sitting on my desk with a note. We walked over and I picked out the note while Aisha smirked at me.

When I held your eyes in mine for the very first time, you stole my heart away.

I'm sure I was blushing, but Aisha grabbed the note from me and read it. She squealed a bit and gave me back the note.
"Who could it be?" She asked while putting her books away.
"Dunno," I said smiling. Aisha smiled along with me and grabbed her bag.
"Let's go." She said laughing a bit. As I passed the mirror we have on the wall, I noticed that I was bright red. As we walked towards the old willow tree, Aisha wouldn't stop talking about my 'secret admirer'
"Priya! Aisha! Over here!" Aman yelled from the willow tree. It was a nice view and Aman was waiting for us with a book bag slung over his back. He smiled as we walked closer and propped our selfs down on the small blanket he had on the ground for us. He sat against the tree and placed his book bag in his lap while Aisha made herself comfortable.
"So Aisha your studying?" Aman said un-zipping his book bag.
"I'm studying photography, it's always been my passion" Aisha said beaming with glory.
"You guys want a soda?" Aman smiled while pulling out a soda from his bag.
"Sure" Aisha and I responded in unison. He gave us each a Coca Cola and put his book bag away.
"Thanks" I said getting ready to open the can. He smiled at me and I tried to open the can but it didn't turn out as planned. The can must've been shaken and it exploded all over Aman. Aisha laughed as Aman just sat there with Coca Cola being sprayed all over him.
"Sorry!" I said trying to hold back my laughter.
"Koee baat nahin." Aman said standing up and running his hand through his wet hair.
"Aman... what are you doing?" Aisha said with genuine concern in her voice.
"I can't stay in this shirt." Aman said chuckling. The shirt was already clinging to his skin and if he kept it on long enough it would get too sticky.
"Then go to your dorm!" Aisha said giving him a bit of sass.
"I'll go to my dorm once I put on a my jacket." Aman said. And with that he took off his shirt showing his perfectly defined abs. I caught myself staring and looked down. My eyes got the best of me and I looked again. I noticed something this time, I scar. A big scar on his side and a bit on his stomach.
"Aman... what's that?" I said staring at the huge scar showing on his body.
"Oh... that?" Aman said turning and showing me a full view of the scar.
"It's nothing, it happened when I got into a car crash... huge piece of glass." Aman said throwing his shirt on the ground and putting on his jacket.
"Did it hurt?" Aisha said concerned.
"When it first happened yes, but the pain didn't stay long." Aman said picking up his book bag and wet shirt.
"Well, this was fun. I'm gonna go take a shower. See you guys tomorrow in class" Aman smiled and took off for his dorm.
"Do you like him?" Aisha said as I was watching Aman run across the field to the dorms.
"No" I replied confidently and turned to face a smirking Aisha.
"I saw the way you were looking at him" Aisha snickered.
"It's our second day at college, I can't already like him." I said raising an eyebrow at Aisha.
"Mhmm sure" she mumbled. We sat just talking for about thirty minutes, I got to know a bit more about her and she got to know a bit more about me. Aisha was sweet and fun to talk to, this is definitely going to be my favorite and best year of college... I hope...
