Let it Go

1. First day

What I am going to do? Seriously, I don't have any IDEA and no time to think about it.... Today is THE Monday, first day of college semester. And I have to drag my lazy self to get going as I am now habitual to sleeping late in morning.

I used to apply this trick where I used to set 3 alarms to wake up early. I put 3 alarms, one at 6.00AM other one at 6.15 and last one at 6.30AM. And I was awake at the end of third alarm.

But this trick has tricked me because in sleep I think there are more alarms to go off, and I go back to my slumber once again. Now it is 7 in the morning and I am sure this means "I am going to be late."

Niki, my roommate is laughing uncontrollably, rolling on her bed.... This is a puzzle to me that no matter when I woke up 6 - 7 or 7.30 in the morning, I am always going to be late. And she is enjoying the fact that I am in hurry... throwing things around and running around house like a maniac.

Ever since my best buddy forced me to buy me own two-wheeler I am getting more and more late for college. As you know, to catch a bus I have to be on time at bus stop. But as it is my own bike so I can go by any time and this is making me late. Thanks buddy!!! (Seriously if he hasn't forced me I would have to go to college by bus, and he was looking after me. But a girl has to have someone to blame for being late.... Don't you think?)

I made my way to college parking lot and parked my Dio there. I have to hurry, please god...... Please, PLEASE...... PLEASE help me. I am praying to God again and again with chant 'lecture must not start! Lecture must not start!!' I don't want to be late for my first lecture of the second last semester of College.

Life is cruel, Time is the cruellest thing, when you want time to stop it runs out of your hand like sand, when you want it to finish soon it goes on & on & ON. And I am not getting why my own two feet betray me. Why they can't walk a little faster without paining??

Finally, I made it to the floor where my classes are being held and to my surprise students were still loitering around. That means only one thing class is not started, yet. I made a victory dance in my head pumping my fists up for three times. Greetings few of classmates with Hi and Hello, I entered in the class AND there he is sitting on one of benches talking with one of his friend. As usual I take my spot beside him on the bench. And a smile makes its way to his face, mirroring his actions my lips started to stretch, my eyes are glued to his face which was hypnotising me.... Anchoring me to him without even knowing.

It's New Year new semester of my degree and last year of my college life. I am not so much of a socialist person but I have my own group friends and that's it. I am so much hoping that it will turn out to be good year for me academically as well as emotionally.

"Hi..." I said to him to which he replied "Hey... Shru" broadening the smile on his face. There was no need for us to ask about our vacation because we were literally chatting every second of day. He started to talk with our classmates about their vacations, adventures and I was listening to them. Especially to his voice which was like a melody to my heart.

I know how he has spent his vacations with his family, so I was not paying attention what he was telling. His sister Shanaya was real pain for him. She is really demanding little thing, 'bro I want this, bro I want That, please drop me here, bring that for me and so on...' and he does all of it, of course with protest but they are just to get reaction from her. He adores her a lot... Their relation is very cute; something I wish to have with my big bro. But we are not like that for no specific reason.

Suddenly he nudged me in the ribs which earned him a glare in return.

"Heyyy" he raised in his hand in surrender and continued to whisper "Sorry Miss Shruti for bringing your attention back to class" indicating the arrival of teacher in our class.
