"First day in the college"

"Part - 2"

Continuation...

********

Reaching the college venue, she smiled at the entrance where the college name was written. She felt proud and closed her eyes for this new journey.

With a profound determination, she started to walk ahead towards the office. Once reaching the destined area, she started to look here and there as if she was waiting for someone to come and help her. But, nevertheless, she decides to go by herself to the chamber of the principal.

-----

After talking to the principal, he gave her a form to fill in the application. She took it and left the office room so that she can fill it with ease.

Unfortunately, her fountain pen was not writing so she just shakes the pen in such a way, that it would help the ink to flow smoothly towards the point. But since the slight shake didn't work out, she shook it vigorously without looking.

"Oh shit"

She heard someone swearing. Her eye gets widened when she raised her head to see a person whose shirt was now beautifully designed with blue ink drops.

She closed her mouth with her hands and starts panicking.

"No, this can't be happening now. No... Umm... Oh my goodness... I am really sorry. I didn't know you were in front of me and I swear I didn't do it purposely. I am really sorry", Lasya went on blabbering without looking at the person's face due to panic.

Since she didn't hear anything from the person she looked at his face and to her surprise, he was looking at her in amusement with a smile on his face.

Her eyebrows knot together in confusion and give him an are-you-mad look?

"Uh...I am really sorry. I didn't intend to do this thing." She asked forgiveness once again looking straight into his eyes.

He shook his head in negative and waves his hand in the air.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about it. I know nobody does this purposely. I have accepted your apology. By the way, I haven't seen you before here, are you a fresher?"

She sighed in relief and nodded her head. "Yeah, I am a fresher and was about to fill the form so only I took my pen to write. But it didn't turn out well in the end." She sheepishly smiled to which she got a chuckle from him and introduce herself to him.

"I am Lasya. I am into first-year CSE. What about you?"

'Uh-oh, when did I become this desperate to be social? I think I shouldn't have started the conversation cause now he is intensely staring at me as if I have grown two heads all of a sudden.' She thought mentally.

"Wow, nice name for a beautiful lady. Um...I am Venkat, Venkat Srinivas. I am into the second year of CSE so now it turns out to be like I am your senior!"

He raised his one eyebrow at me with a smirk.

"Se...seni...senior?" She stuttered with nervousness pulling her to the maximum extent.

"Yeah, don't worry. I won't eat you. I will help you out to reach your classroom and you can ask me if you have any doubts in the future. Come on now, we don't want to be late on the first day, right?" Saying so, he wrapped his arms around Lasya's shoulders. But she wriggled uncomfortably and soon he left her shoulders in order not to create a scene. She thanked Almighty and walked hesitantly towards her classroom.
