   It was a class full of people I knew,from school, some new faces at the back, apart from that everyone was familiar everyone knew my embarrassing escapades.
  Fresh start, my foot!.
  The first person I noticed was the owner of the scooter I saw downstairs, the guy who had made my 9 Th miserable, the most confused person that ever took birth. Jeez!.
  Seeing him after solid 3 weeks, my stomach resident butterflies were screaming that he was looking on fleek, I plucked out their wings, cause that piece of mess has no more scope in my life, but umm...he is cute . Stop!

From behind him came a voice " Here! sit with me", it was Zenia, the only familiar face I was pleased to see. I quietly shuffled in beside her. Hmm patch up with an old bestie, it won't be as bad after all.

So befuddled was I that I didn't even realise that the professor was pointing at a huge schedule on the board spanning through the entire year, no.of tests-timings-subjects-discipline-study ethics and a lot, I mean a lot of motivation. I found it appealing, the amount of focus that Professor Pandit was already instilling unto us was mindblowing, we were all pumped up, I even forgot that Mr Confused was sitting right in front of me.

After 1.5 hrs we got a break, geez I could have sat there forever. I just realised that it was socialising time, a subject I suck at. I turned to Zenia, she used to have springy curls in third grade but now they were almost straight, you could still  see the curls though.She nudged me with those twinkling eyes of hers, and I realised that I had actually missed that excited aura that she always carried.No we didn't have a break up story, we had just drifted apart, and now she was back with patterned jeggings.
Well lucky for me  Zenia aced the art of socialising. She actually talked to people she knew, yeah why is it a big deal to me?, Cause I talk to people in their respective locations, a swim buddy meets me at the mall, sorry, I am lost. Behind us was one of the popular guys from school, Samar. Of course I knew his name, of course I didn't expect him to know mine.
I turn to the front ,check out Mr. Confused real quick,oops no no , he's already staring with a cunning look " So you followed me till here? Not surprised",
No I wasn't taking that look.
"Oh! you wish don't you, Nino, But hell is you wrong".Bang! he didn't have a comeback , then I heard a chortle and for the first time I noticed the guy sitting beside nino, he was smirking, maybe I was good at this.

As a result, Nino got up from there and went to sit with the other guys from my school classroom.I and Zenia started talking animatedly, about our past escapades,  eating was out of question.

Then suddenly out of nowhere came a boomy voice" Zenia!!" and her face lit up,"Sam!!!", She got up and they  hugged , Sam was a plump guy with a jolly face, the instantly- likeable types. Sam went ahead to pat the guy in front of us who had chortled earlier  " Ezra!!studying again bro?!, and who the hell wears neon orange bro!". Indeed this guy was studying,boring holes in the schedule with his eyes and was decked in fluorescent orange, had he been secretly listening to our talks?, cause if this guy is normal he should not be reading the schedule on the first day.
Sam took Noni's place in front of me and started his chatter , one entertaining fellow he is.
However I noticed something peculiar in Zenia's behaviour towards the fluorescent guy, Ezra, probably, She was trying to pull him into the conversations, and that bastard only knew sarcasm. Hmm....fishy.
Drama already!
