The Last Goodbye

chapter 17

The week though had started off on the note of an event, the college had other plans for the lot, as the time table for the internals came out. None of them were in any mood to go ahead and sit for studies, get into the whole study mood. Divya had made a small plan of her own for the studies she was sure for a good amount of time that this would work.

With a bright smile on her face she made her way back into the gates of college, though this was the second time she was getting in, it gave her a completely different feeling to get back in there into the closed confines. But she would be lying if she had to say that she won't miss this place after a few months.

Walking up towards the cupboards she kept the boxes that were in her hand into them and then walked towards the classroom she didn't really had anything to do as such and decided it was better to go and attend the lectures,, however , even before she could open the door, Ms. Tawadia walked out of the class and said,

"Ohh Divya, why weren't you there for the lectures?"

Divya smiled sheepishly at the professor who as well had a small smile and walking towards the staffroom, once reaching the door she turned around and waited for Divya to reply, "Ma'am Milange has its social event going on, I was there." The professor nodded her head and walked inside all the while wishing her best for the events, leaving Divya behind to contemplate whether these professors were for real or not?

The class had quite a conflicting aura around with the regular students picking up their bags as Kavya and her group waved their hands at her, which was as well baffling. Smiling at them she made her way towards Simran who was seated in their regular place along with Rohit and Nandini.

"Don't we have lectures?" Divya asked as she sat on the desk in front of the bench that was occupied by the rest.

"Nah, Sir won't be coming today, it just now got canceled." Simran explained smiling at her.

"I don't understand what this college has against me. The day I decide to sit for lectures they get canceled. "

"That's actually good, you should come to lectures daily." Rohit commented as they stood up and began walking towards the door.

"where are you all going?"

"Nagori ... come." Nandini extended her hand as Divya quickly took hold of it and the two began walking with Divya's hand wrapped around Nandini's shoulder, Nandini slouching down due to all the weight on her, Simran and Rohit stautered ahead, their destination the small tea stall at the end of the college road. Somehow much to everyone's surprise even the Sys were done with their lectures, it took them about a great number of minutes as they made their way through the busy corridors of the college.

Seemingly certain things are always a habit as they all went ahead and stood around in a circle, Edwin took it upon himself to ask everyone what was it that they preferred to have, and placed their order. The rest, with Nandini, Kabeer, and Rohit fighting over who would stand leaning over the car, Divya watching them with a bored look, as Simran and Rohan being busy in their own conversation. Divya indicated the two of them to come to where they were standing as Simran with a sly smile walked up to her and looped her hands with divya.

"what is it?" she asked.

Divya smiled at her and said, "Did you start preparing for the exam?"

"I thought I would but then I couldn't, today maybe I will start with it."

"what are you guys talking about?" Nandini enquired, her attention completely on the two of them, as she pushed Rohit aside and stood firmly with her back rested by the car, her hands folded by her chest.
