Save Me.

A hopeful Begining? I guess.

While I hopelessly try to turn the knob and push the door open with one hand and the other holding my bag, I see other students piling up behind me. Few looked amused, few curious while the other getting frusted with each passing second while I try to open this shitty door.

When I almost gave up looking frustated more than being embarrassed for making a small scene on the very first day of my university standing outside room number 111 which is my first class by the way. A small hand pushed past mine turning the knob pulling it open, a girl my height came into my view smiling sweetly gesturing me to move inside. She didnt had to tell me twice as I rush into the backside plopping down in one of the seats while I hear others laughing at my stupid stunt.

After few seconds I felt someone tap at my shoulder to look up. I saw the same girl smiling brightly at me pointing out at the seat next to me gesturing if she can sit there. I smiled at her and picked my bag allowing her to sit next to me.

"Salam, My name is Inaya. Yours?"

She introduced herself while holding out her hand.

"Wasalam, I am Zareen. Ermm thanks for the save earlier."

I told her while shaking her hand and looking at her embarrassingly.

"Pssshhh it was no deal yaar."

She said while smiling at me which I returned with one of my own.

After the horrible incident the class went on smooth. It turns out that Inaya is a pretty cool person to hang out. Through out the whole class she made it hard for me to not to laugh out loud with her funny yet lame jokes.

After the first slot our second slot was free and we decided to spend it while siting outside the library. I found out she lives in a big family having 4 siblings 2 older than her and 2 younger making her the ´coolest middle child ever present on the planet Earth´ quoted by herself. I also found out that her two year older brother is currently here in our university in his 3rd year.

She was asking various questions trying to know me better and I was trying hard to answer her back when suddenly I saw a group of students approaching us.

Oh I know what is going to happen to us next. They are going to surround us and rag us into giving them our stuff or they will ask us to do various stupid stunts. Typical first week of university where the seniors ragged freshies.

I looked at Inaya who had spotted them already and with a tired sigh she started texting furiously on her mobile probably texting her brother for the rescue. I tried to pull her to move inside the library when I was stopped by a guy looking at me with a smug smile.

"Aawww dont leave us like this man. We just came to say hi."

frustated I look behind to see Inaya already ticked off and the other seniors looking at us while smirking. There were 2 girls and 3 boys who were surrounding us.

"Listen step aside we have a class to attend. We dont want to get late."

This time Inaya pulled me behind her while speaking up through tight lips. I heard the others laugh when one of the girls spoke up from my side.

"Look guys we have two goodie too shoe amongst us today. Come on you two we just want to know you to better."

"Know us better? more like you want to snatch away our stuff and make us do stupid dares like pricks who dont get enough attention in there house."

Inaya spoke through her gritted teeths looking towards everyone trying one more time to pull me away while I stand there doing nothing but getting more afraid by each passing second.

" Arent you a bitch little girl. Has nobody told you how to speak to your seniors?"

The guy spat out angrily who had stopped me at the first place. Without thinking for the first time I moved a little forward and almost shouted.

"Havent someone told you not to invade other peoples personal space? You know before you should start demanding for some respect, you should brush your teeth. Your mouth stinks and it is making it hard for us to breath so move."

After saying this I tried to pull Inaya out of the circle again, where along with her all the other seniors were gapping at me.

Please read again. I tried. I was stopped once again by someone holding my arm in a strong grip. I looked back to see the guy fuming and daring me to move further and as stupid as I am I raised an eyebrow daring him in return to let me go.

He was ready to say something when I heard someone else speak up from behind.

"Take your hands off of her Anees. You dont want to get hurt again. Now do you?"

The guy holding me immediately removed his hand and folded his arms on his chest.

"What do you want Salar. These ones are ours. Dont try to get in between."

I now looked at the guy he called Salar to be a lean and tall guy may be 6 or something but there was something about him. He looked kinda fimiliar.

"Apparently if you will try to rag my baby sister and her friend around, I am not going to sit around and let you have all the fun. Will I?"

Than it all clicked and I looked at Inaya who was grinning like an idiot and the other guy looked a little afraid looking around for his friends who were already hinting him to get out of here.

"Man I didnt know they were related to you otherwise I wouldnt have done that."

The guy started walking away along with his friends and Inaya pulled me with her towards her brother.

"What took you so long idiot? and I am not a baby! stop calling me that."

She punched him and frowned.

"My BABYYYY sister I was in a class and getting out without letting the teacher knowing took a while and I will never stop calling you that cause you are a big baby."

He completed his answer by ruffling her hair. Inaya slapped his hand away and sticked her tongue out while I smiled at their cute exchange. Inaya than pulled me forward with her and introduced us.

"Hey meet my new friend Zareen and Zareen this is my older brother I told you about? Salar."

I smiled at him and he nodded back. Afterwards he rushed back to his class and we sat back to our spot where we were sitting previously. The rest of the day followed with us laughing at our small incident, attending our other 2 classes, exchanging numbers and me driving myself to home to doze off on my bed till I wake up the next day.

And this is how ladies and gentleman I met Salar Sikandar who changed my life completely.
