A new day in an unknown yet known city. I was afraid to go to university. Cause um. What if nobody likes me? Nobody agree to be my friend? Cause till now only my gang could handle me. I'm so difficult to understand. Like in real. Zayn knows the 100% of me. And all other friends at least knows 87% of me. But here in new city new university I'm kinda scared to make friends.
Ugh i should stop overthinking. I made my way to bathroom and took a quick warm shower. It was cold over there. I took out my full sleeves sweat tee shirt and skin fit jeans,applied thinnest eye liner,slipped into my sneakers and took downstairs to Granny's room. She was already awake. I hugged her by side and wished her morning.
"Alex might have done making breakfast baby. You should eat and leave for your first day of university. I know you don't like to be late." She smiled and gave a light kiss on my forehead.
"Yaya. First tell me hows your health?" I asked her.
"I'm perfectly fine my love. Now you go." She pushed me playfully. She is such an amazing granny anybody could ever have.

I walked to the dining room and Alex served me my breakfast. Alex is maid here. Working for granny. She is middle aged lady with bubbly nature. I already love her cause she is working here since last 6 years.
I finished breakfast and put my headphones and dialled zayn's numbers before getting into car. He picked up at 2nd ring.

"Hey Babe. Woke up?" His sleepy voice. My goodness. I start missing him waking up beside me.
"Zaynieeeeee. I woke up and in the car right now. Going to Uni. First day and don't wanna be late. I know I'm not gonna make friends so at least teachers fav i can be." I breath.
"Relaax baby girl. You'll do your best at first day impression. I know it ok? And you will find as crazy as you a good friend." His voice soothed me as i was so in hurry and frustrated a bit without zayn.
"Awkay love. By the way. You're still in bed. Don't u dare to be late on your first day zayn." I shouted at him kind of.
"I'll get ready in 2 minutes. I swear i won't get late." I could hear him jumping out of his bed.
"Good baby. I love you zayn." I smiled even though he can't see me smiling. But he may assume?
"I love your smile when you say I Love You Zayn." He smirked and smiled at same time.

"I'm here finally. This looks good though. Let's see how it starts." I look out of the window. A huge building with a name "LAU"

"Okay babe. You go have fun on first day. Don't be nervous. Don't find another zayn who pull your seat and you fall down." He giggled. So did I. All of sudden a past memory with zayn flashed in my eyes. The way he pulled my seat on first day and then laughed on me with other friends.

I hung up the call after exchanging "I Love You's" and walked towards the campus. Its huge. Like really. Vast than my school back in NYC. Looks amazing. I didn't know what to do on first day alone. I walked towards the Dean's office. Somebody was there inside already so i had to wait outside.

After a minute, Dean called me inside.

"Hello. I'm Aatiquah Norewood." I introduced myself.
"Ohhhh. So its you. You're grown up baby. I can't believe its you standing in front of me." He admired me but wait? How did he know me? I didn't know him at all.
"Yeah.. But.. Umm. How do you know ME already?" I hesitated a little but asked him finally.
"You forgot me? Ouch. Never expected." He made fake sad face. Is he even a Dean of university or drama king?
"Honestly i don't remember" i fluttered out the truth.
" I'm Michael. Remember you used to play with Charlie? My son. We used to live behind your granny's house. Do you remember anything?" Oh shit yah. I remember how i used to spend my holidays with granny and Charlie.
"Oh damn yes. How can i forget Charlie? Where's he?" I'm so mean that i didn't ask how was he and directly asked about my childhood partner in crime charlie.

"He might be wandering in campus. He just left my cabin. Didn't you see him?"  Oopzie. I remember when he called me in, A guy left cabin. But i didn't notice a lot except he was wearing black jeans and lightish blue tee shirt with jet black Cardigan.
"Oh no. I'll catch him sooner." I smiled. He handed me my time table of classes and i left him saying bye.

Took a look at my time table while wandering in campus to find café. I was totally looking into that piece of paper and bumped into a guy.

"Opz. Sorry. I'm.. Really..sorry." I looked up at him while picking my notes up. God. Charlie.
"Its okie. Lemme help you." He sat beside me and helping me gathering my notes.

"You Idiot. You Fool. You Know I Hate You So Fuckin Much." I started yelling at him as he was helping me. He looked shocked.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.." I cut him off by grabbing his collars. He was totally freakin out about what the situation was going on.
"You Look At Me. How the hell you forgot me?" He kept staring into my eyes cluelessly.
"I met you for the first time and you're asking... Like this.. Eh.." He too had the habit of saying *EH*

"You cheese ball. I'm gonna kill ya" i yelled and his shocked turned into happy happy smile.
"You Pizza. Oh damn. What kinda transformation is this?" He stepped back and checked me out. Head to toe.

"I swear if you would haven't recognized me, the next second your dead body would have been here." I laughed.
"Aye I Swear. You looked so plumpy and bubbly when you left LA last time. Around 5 years ago. Damn look at you now. You're HOT." He smirked and i pushed him off.

"How did you recognize me?" He asked curiously. As we were walking down the corridors.
"Your eyebrows are the first reason. And secondly your dad told me you're here." I admitted that i wasn't sure about his existence here.
"Wow cool. What are you gonna study here? And why you left London and came here to study? It's strange isn't it?" He shot too many questions at once. I decided to tell him everything but it was our first class time so we had to say goodbyes and promised to meet at café after 3 classes in a row. I was excited to tell this to zayn. That i finally found a friend here. Not new. But the oldest one. I was happy. Hope zayn was doing well.
