Rahim's first day at college in his words
(Rahim's point of view)

One can compare the height of entrance of college and my house. They both were merely equal .
I was not able to find even a single ant roaming around there. Chances were 'maybe i'm too early or too late.' but i was according to the time slot...there might be some sudden changes.
Fortunately , i got watchman instead of insect.
I asked him , why I wasn't able to find any single clue of humanity over there?
He answered that i am too punctual to college life.
I don't know whether he's getting sarcastic or...
I flight inside the gate , parked my hero cycle on its two supports and drafted myself inside of vast villa.
The floor was marbled , side walls were tiled with sky blue and cyan blocks and ceiling was painted sharp lustrous white with black fans fitted about 25 yards apart.

Corridor was facilitated with a water pot which had the ability to serve cold water enough to quench anybody's thirst.
As i moved away , i spotted a black board enlisted with student's name and section.
'RAHIM QUADRI ---- 219', it said , i dashed towards my destination.
It was a hard work to find my room number in such a messed up riddle until i got another board syncing room numbers with floor numbers.
Now you can see personalities over there.
"I am really punctual."
Somehow i was able to fetch my classroom. I sat on the first bench , it was 8 now and i was waiting for teachers and mates to come.

And finally the wait was over. I could hear some footsteps walking towards class. I was expecting some boys whom i can befriend in this new environment but to my immense surprise, they were two girls, one of them was the same talkative girl whom i met a few days ago. The same girl from Mahatma Gandhi Nagar who once asked me to drop newspapers at her home daily. I couldn't believe my eyes that i happen to see this girl again.

Thankfully she didn't talk to me. She sat in the next row with her friend. I think she didn't recognize me. But how can she forget someone whom she admired a lot? She must have ignored me or she might be stalking me.
"Oh! Just shut up." I scolded myself. Why am i even thinking about someone? I am here to study and i should concentrate on that only.

Ruhi's another encounter with Rahim at college, in her words
(Ruhi's point of view)

As Ruchika and I entered the classroom, we could see no one except one single boy. We didn't pay much attention to him and occupied our seats.

"How stupid of him. He's sitting alone here" laughed Ruchika.

"And equally we are.
I never expected such a boring entry on the first day of college." I arrogantly replied.

"And that guy, don't you think we have seen him somewhere." Ruchika curiously asked me.

"Yeah! That's Rahim, Rahim Quadri. The topper. We saw his photo in the newspaper, Remember? "

"Yes! I remember. He sale newspapers, right? Unbelievable.Did you talk with him the next day? " Ruchika asked.

"Han!! I talked with him for good 3 minutes. He didn't tell me about his college." I shockingly replied.

"Oh gosh! He must be stalking you poor Ruhi." Ruchika laughed again.

I kept numb, staring at him. I don't know about Ruchika but i was seriously tensed seeing him there. At one moment i was liking his presence while on the other, i was thinking what if, if he is stalking ? I thought he's nice guy but now i wasn't not sure........

There were hiccups , should i talk to him but my ego kept me alive.
"Why would i be the one to talk again and again?" and i left the matter in time's hand.
