As the sun rose higher and sun shined brighter, bringing in a brand new day,bI lay on my bed with a bad hangover, the alarm vibrated to and fro waking me up. It was my first lecture today and here I was sitting on the kitchen counter, puzzled ,looking for answers as to why my head hurts so much and why I smelt like a combination of sweat,alchohol and men's purfume. I dug through my handbag and all I found was makeup, a 100 dollar bill, Chanel perfurme ,a paint spray and coupons from some weird arcade.

WHAT THE HELL? I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING. Wait, I remember calling Naveed and getting in his car..DAMMIT! anything related to this guy is trouble, my head hurt from the severe hangover I was having.

Funny thing about getting drunk? How about NOTHING?

I tried to call Naveed and ask him what the hell happened last night but my phone died and I had literally 10 minutes to get ready and go to school. So I left the dead phone where it was and took a-two-minute-shower. Draped my body in roll neck grey pullover and a black naples skirt with black anke-boots, left my long hair loose and threw some stationery and my laptop in my new TED BAKER bag and left the appartment without wearing any make-up. Make-up was never a must when i lived in India so I never really prefered wearing it. I was fine without it. I found a note on the fridge door that read :

Off to class,sleepyhead. I've left you some breakfast on the counter. And we need to talk about where you disappeared last night and why you smelt like you were dipped in chlorine.lol.call me after class.

Okay so first of all, I have a really good roomate who makes me breakfast and leaves me notes. I don't miss my housekeeper in India anymore .

Second of all, what happened last night? I really need to know before I die of an anxiety attack.

Third, I need to get to class.

I noticed a tall lean figure standing in front of the elevator as I locked the main door, meddling with his dark curly hair. He caught me staring at him and I awkwardly looked away ignoring his hand wave.

I walked over to elevator which was still stuck at ground floor. Dan gave me a huge smile and I returned it.

"Bad hangover?" he asked probably because I looked like shit and was pressing my forehead with my long fingers. I nodded.

TING! went the elevator door. We got in, one after the other.

"First day?" I asked him after a fair share of awkward silence.

"Yeah. You're a Forensic major right?'

"uh..no, I'm a law major"

"Hey! I'm a law a major too. That's nice. I don't have to go sit alone in class like a loner. I hate making new friends but I'm glad when I do " he said and gave me another of his gorgeous smile and the elevator opened.

Morning breeze rubbed agaisnt my skin leaving me with goosebumps. Come on! It was not even the Monsoon!

"This campus is huge. Man I don't know how I'm going to manage it in here"I said looking around.

"Hey, don't worry. You'll be okay" he gave me a light pat on my shoulder.

"How do you know ?"

"I just have a feeling and besides you can count on me if you want a tour around, you look lost"

"That's because I am and thanks " I said

We walked and talked about our lives before and just like that I had made my second friend in this enormous sleepless city. The worries of sitting in the class alone had disappeared form my brain but one question still stayed at the back of my head and came flittering in my mind once in a while and that was, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!

***********************************************************************************************************************

The dream had become a reality. I was actually a student in NYU! The hours flew quickly and my first day of business school had come to an end. DAN ran into a few of his high school buds and introduced me to them. They're nice people. I had lunch with them. After a fairly good first day I went back home with bunddles of paper .

Emily was not home yet. I charged my phone and rung up Naveed, that bastard din't pick up either.

FOR 6 hours I was walking and talking and the memory of last night was nonexsistent in my brain. I was spiral city. In every sense. Naveed was not answering his phone so I need a cyber forensic as soon as possible because according to my gut, I've done something wrong.

I took a paper, a pen and went all Indiana Jones to find out what happend. I examined the clothes I wore last night and I found a pinkberry bill.

NAVEED----PAINT SPRAY-----ARCADE COUPONS------FROZEN YOUGURT

It doesn't make sense at all. ARGHH!!!

THE NIGHT GREW DARKER AS WE WALKED DOWN THE DUSTY STREETS. I COULD SAY WE WERE WASTED.

"HEY? YOU WANT TO SPRAY SOME PAINT ON THOSE WALLS?" NAVEED SAID POINTING TOWARDS A WHITE WALL ACROSS THE ROAD.

"IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?"

"AREN'T YOU A LAWYER?" HE ASKED FUNNILY.

I CHUCKLED AND SCREAMED 'LET'S BREAK THE LAW' AND RAN TOWRDS THE WALL. I CLIMBED UP THE HEDGE AND SO DID NAVEED, HE OPENED THE SPRAY PAINTS AS WE LAUGHED STARING INTO EACH OTHER.

Shit, graffiti. oh no! but what the hell did we paint on it ? I quickly checked my phone gallery. There were so many selfies with Naveed and one looked like we were in an Indian casino. That might be the arcade, but what stricked my attention was a video of us sneeking up to a huge white building with also him peeing in the frontyard, ignoring that sight I searched for more.

After a few more minutes of pondering about the reckless night I've had, a vague memory just popped up.

"You're drunk as shit, you know that?" Naveed said gripping me as I trippled over. I laughed and laughed like a kid who stole candy.

"Have you been here ?" I asked him as he was lost in deep thought.

"No, what is it?" he interogated but by then I had sneaked into the huge building,

I whispered a "who knows?" and walked right in.

There was no security guards ironically and we got into the steel-coloured lift that took us to the roof.

At this point the way I was behaving was like a child at candy store . So high. There right in front of us was a huge pool waiting for us to jump in it. As I run towards the pool. Naveed pulled me away and made me sit on the recliner.

"Don't go anywhere" he instructed me and walked away to make a call

I, being a stubborn kid, threw my louboutins aside and jumped into the pool.

SHIT.I JUMPED INTO SOMEONE'S POOL? WOW. I THINK I MIGHT HAVE HAD A CRAZY NIGHT. My ponder session was interrupted by Naveed, who called me up, FINALLY!

"HELLO?"
