"And the unit of electric flux..."
The bell had rung 10 minutes ago and the teacher was still not ready to leave the class. Physics is so boring. My mind was wandering outside the class. Thankfully I was sitting in the row closest to the window. As the bell rung, noises from the neighboring class increased, wanting us to hit the teacher with all the books so that we would be free.

As all these thoughts were wandering my mind. I saw her, standing near the railing of the verandah. I couldn't see her face due to the sunlight but there was something which made me stare at her, as always. 

"SHRAVAN!!You are free to leave the class if uninterested..!!" The professor shouted and I drilled my eyes in the book.

The teacher left and I ran out of the class. But I didn't see her anywhere. I was sure that she was the one I saw but where was she? 

"Shut up Shravan" My mind lashed my heart. 

I went back to the classroom. After college I waited at the class door till the end just to see her but she wasn't there.

"Must have left already. "I calmed my mind and left.

The next day the neighbouring class was again shifted to the 2nd floor so my chance of watching her was ruined. 

In the next few days a camp was announced so I registered my name. It was a trial camp and 5 students would be selected for the major camp later. 

The camp was of 5 days which would be held in our college itself.

I went into the auditorium and sat at the first desk as usual. 

The introduction program ended and we were given our batches.

I went to check my name and… She was right there in front of me, checking her batch. My heart bounced high and started pounding. I controlled my emotions and stood beside her near the noticeboard.

"Oy Purna humlog eksaath he hai aur..."She left saying this and I heard her voice after a long time. It was Suman Tiwari. Granddaughter of Dad's mentor Raghuvar Tiwari and daughter of mom's best friend, Priya. 

I saw her going out of the college and I felt relieved. At last she would be with me for the whole five days. I went home with a non vanishing smile on my face.

The next day I reached college sharp 9:30 and sat in the last row.She would be clearly seen from there.

"Batch 1, Go to the chemistry lab."She got up and went and I cursed at my fate, I was in batch 3.
All my chances of watching her were spoiled as Batch 1 had scheduled from 9:30 to 1 and batch 3 had 1:30 to 4.

So the next 5 days were dull as I hadn't seen a glimpse of her. But the feeling that if selected, we would spend a lot of time together made me feel elated. 

Suman. I remember seeing her for the first time,at the Diwali party at Tiwari Killa. I never went out of the house but mom forced me to attend and that's when I met her.. saw her. 
Running around the house, trying to keep her dupatta to herself. She never noticed me. 

Days passed. Their class was permanently shifted to our floor which made me feel as if I was on cloud nine.

One day during break time, I was studying while I heard her voice. I looked up and saw her right beside my row.Talking and giggling with a friend of hers who was in my class. I kept staring at her.She was beautiful...high ponytail, big brown orbs, chubby cheeks and a dazzling smile.Her laugh echoed our already buzzing class.The bell rang and she went out and I stared at her retreating image. There was something in her which made me see her face, to hear her voice.
"Shravan STOP!" My brain shouted at me but who was hearing it? My mind had entered her class behind her.!
