One day at a time

Where it all began

Caleb's POV:

Being in a college sure sucks a lot.
Yes, I study in a medical school in the middle of nowhere. When I say that it's literal. This place is almost like a desert. No trees and Mr.Sun smiling so rudely all the time.Not cool. And it's one year before I become an intern. So, you have nothing in your pockets too until then.Sucks,right?

Right now I'm walking in my most favorite place inside the campus. Yup,the terrace of the dormitory I live in.

Lying down flat on my back,  looking at the stars makes the earth stop while I take in all the beauty the night has to give. Just pondering over life, with all its shortcomings and goodness!
Quality time spent with myself? Check ✔.

What's that?  Oh,it's like a disease I have.  I tend to slip away from reality quite often. I was starting to think about the future when..

"Caaaaaleeeebbbb!" I heard Varjok's shrieking voice from below.
I just dismissed it.  Come on,  I need this time alone to rejuvenate myself.

After a silence of few seconds.,
 
"Ca... Le.. B... *cough*  I need.. You.. *dramatic cough* "

Alright.  He's gonna get it from me. 
I rushed down to see that useless guy I call my best friend.
As dummy as he is, he has been my constant companion during the entire college.  I love this one like my own.  Rare find. Varjok David.

I found him on the floor clearly FAKING being in pain. If I didn't know him better, I would have freaked out by now. 
Damn. This one can act. 

"What is it, varjok?"

"Caleb" He hissed. "Thought I would never see you again.. I don't know how long I ll live to be with you. 
This deadly cough is killing me. "
Yes people,he caught a mild flu yesterday. And  I know where he's going. 

" So to cherish the rest of my days..hours..Ahem.. *cough* minutes with you,  I just want to ask you one... Aaaaaaahhhhh"

I was chuckling. I kicked him hard on the stomach. 
He winced in pain and started to come right at me.

"For the hundredth time, dear god,  I don't want to attend to the special lecture on diabetes. 
It's still a no , varjok. Sorry for not granting your death wish."

I heard him curse me under his breath before I walked into my room.

"Nighty night, var"

He's also a class topper when it comes to academics.  Funny how he's my best friend.

I was checking my Facebook feed where I found a post from this girl, Dominos. She's in my college.  But I haven't
really talked to her. She's a religious freak! I have allergy to those kind of people. But I  tapped a like on that post and put the phone away. It was a good one. 

I dozed off,  thinking about all the different tattoos I wanted to get and be a cool bartender with the view of the beach and beautiful girls ofcourse.
