"Grams cab is here let's go!" Myra yelled.

"Myra have you taken everything? Like tooth brush-" Dee replied reading the list that she made, to keep track of all the items Myra was supposed to take with her.

"Yes grams, I crosschecked everything. I have all the stuff." Myra replied in a hurry.

"Your camera?" Dee asked suddenly.

"Yes, Grams. That was the first thing I put." Myra said smiling at Dee.

"Wait let's click a picture of the three of us. We haven't taken any pictures of us in front of this house." Myra said taking out her camera.

She clicked both Dee and Amy's photo, then Amy clicked Dee and Myra's photo. Myra took the camera from Amy. Safely put the camera back in the camera cover.

The three of them were waiting for the cab to come. Myra was excited, but she could feel a bit of nervousness regarding the trip. She wanted the trip to go well and she hoped, that it would go well.

"There, the cab has come. Myra, Dee you two sit. I'll tell the driver to help me with the luggage." Amy said taking Myra's suitcase and gestured the driver to keep it in the trunk.

"St. Lawrence junior college, Gulmuhar cross Juhu." Replied Amy to the driver, and sat on the front seat.

The trio reached the school in 30 minutes. It was morning time, so the roads were packed with traffic. But nonetheless, they got lucky and the traffic started moving. But at least they were on time this time, that too without any dramatic entry, Myra was thankful for that.

The last disastrous entry was still fresh in her mind and she knew it was the same for all the students who had witnessed it.

"Grams that's our school bus. It'll take us to the railway station." Myra pointed towards a yellow bus with St. Lawrence written in bold words on top.

Myra looked around, all the students were chatting away excitedly. Some of them busy were clicking each other's pictures.

Some parents were chatting with the other parents, while the others were catching up with the teachers on their wards. Feel bad for those students.

Myra glanced around to see where Naina and Dhruv were. She couldn't find Naina and Dhruv in the vast crowd, but her eyes landed on her psychology teacher and the college counsellor. Her name was Ayesha Agarwal, and apparently, Myra had taken a liking to her.

Ayesha is wearing olive pants with a crème loose shirt on top. Her hairs had golden streaks, she had short hair till her chest and was standing there wearing black shades. She didn't exactly look like a teacher.

She was very kind to Myra, and has been helping her ever since she came to the college. Myra was too busy admiring her teacher that she didn't feel Naina standing behind her.

"MYRA!" Naina shouted near her ear.

Startled, Myra jumped a bit and quickly turned around to see Naina smiling ear to ear. She looked rather proud after having sacred Myra.

"Tsk tsk Myra, you scaredy cat." Dhruv said coming from the other side.

Myra looked at him with crossed arms, and glared at him. "I'm not a scaredy cat." Myra huffed in frustration.

Dhruv raised his eyebrow and thrust his chin out, "Is that so. Correct me If I'm wrong, this is the third time you're getting scared."

Myra rolled her eyes, "Well not as much you."

Dhruv looked at her confused and looked Naina, who was quite enjoying this conversation. At this Myra spoke, "Well you know the way that you're scared of Manali."
