The Dean was pretty impressed about the way I handled the whole situation, he suggested, I should start helping out in the casualty ward for a month or so, once they would see improvement in my way of dealing with things I would be promoted to a more intense work routine.

About the man, whose life I had saved, he was really thankful to me. He called for me immediately after he had regained consciousness. His family, that is his wife and parents were glad to see him alive and that he had a miraculous pass from death. I gathered that the patients name was Mr. Alex Debra and he was on his way to work on his bike when his bike accidently skidded at the signal.

By the end of it all I just wanted to go home to my apartment and sleep. So I took a ride back home with Georgina. 

Once I was home I was so tired that I just decided to crash in my bed. 

I slept for what seemed like a couple of hours but in honesty it was almost 11am and a sunday when I had decided to wake up.  I heard my stomach rumbling. I was so hungry that I wouldn't mind hogging on anything in front of me, so I decided to make a bowl of instant noodles.

They're unhealthy, yeah well but it’s easy and quick to make seeing that I was really hungry.

Making myself comfortable on the couch. I was about to put one huge bite of hot steamy noodles in my mouth when, the door bell rung..!

I groaned and did not want anyone interfering in my meal time so I ignored it.

After a few minutes, whoever was on the other side of the door got impatient and rang the bell again. I got pissed. I couldn't help it! I was hungry! I needed food in my system and now!

Slowly I got up from the comfortable position on my couch and opened the door with force. 

Looky who's there? I thought.

A neighbour!

I smiled at him and tried my best to not show how irritated I was.

"Hey! My name is Fred. I live right next door. I'm sorry did I disturb you?" he said scratching the back of his neck in uncertainty

 "Oh, not at all. I'm Christina. Um do you want to come in?" I asked not wanting to be rude.

"Yeah sure." he smiled brightly and followed me in.

I smiled. All my irritation evaporated when I turned to see him.

He was looking around my apartment with his hands in his jeans pocket. He looked handsome, in an adorable way.

Fred had a nice face, it was friendly. Just then I knew we would be good friends.

"So.. Would you like to have something? I don't have much as of now.. but I have some soda.." I looked at him

"Uh yeah sure. I don't mind soda." he said smiling

I brought out a can of coke from my mini fridge and handed it to him.

"Thanks"

A little after noon, Fred and I were more than acquainted neighbours. We realized that there was a lot that was common between us.

'So since how long are you in Questel?' I had asked curiously

'Not long, just about three months or so.'

I nodded.

'Hey.. I don't mean to be too straight forward but I was thinking if you wanted to come with me to a party tonight..' he had asked me
