My social life was the in college was the same as in high school. I was bad at making friends, but I clicked fast with Maryam. Eventhough, we were quite opposites. All through out first year we would be asked to leave class because Maryam always had something 'important' to tell me, that she only remembered during class. No one knew my name but referred to me as the 'topper'. I was always the one people would whisper to get answers but never the one to be invited somewhere.
It was my first day back and my eyes were glued to the ground. I wasn't ready for everyone to ask me where I had gone.
''oye Topper! you done with your long break?'', I heard the group crackle
''Is your husband used to your silence by now? must be so awkward in bed''
''How about you shut your mouth?'', Maryam defended me. It was too much for me, the thought of Zain made my stomach ache.
''Zoya where are you going?'', I brushed pass Maryam and ran to the washroom. I couldn't control my emotions and soon I was crying and running at the same time. I was sprinting through the corridors, which were empty as classes had already started. My vision got blurry and I bumped into someone.
''Im so sorry! are you okay?'', I recognized that voice. I wiped my eyes and looked up from the floor. It was the same guy from the airport and the pharmacy!
''who the fuck are you and why are you following me?!''
''what? I'm sorry I don't- Oh I remember you now!''
''of course you do! Now tell me who told you to follow me?'', All my emotions were acting up and I didn't realize I was being loud
''Im sorry but I don't know whats going on'', He tried to grab his glasses but I grabbed them before he could.
''Can't see without them, can you?'', I knew this was the only way to get the truth out
''I can't, If I could get them-'' He went to grab them but I pulled back
''Is this some kind of prank?'', He smiled in confusion
''prank?! this is no prank mister! I'm calling the police!'', I opened my bag and without hesitation sprayed his eyes with pepper spray.
''why would you do that?! it burns!'' he covered his eyes
''well yeah its supposed to hurt!'', At this point we were getting quite the audience
''Zoya!'', I heard Maryam from behind the crowd
''Maryam look its him! the guy who was following me!'', Maryam grabbed my arm and from her expression I knew I did something wrong
''Thats our new Anatomy professor''
''oh shit''
