The dining area, which is also called 'a mess in hostels', was mostly empty since the lunch time was over, or maybe it was due to the fact that classes have not started yet. It was easy to find, thankfully.
I went inside and saw a girl having her lunch who was around my age. She looked at me when I passed her. She had a pair of attractive chocolate brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair with a milky white complexion. She was definitely American.
'You should make a friend, Jazz.' Mahi's voice echoed in my ears.
I gave her a small smile which, fortunately, she returned. I went to pick up my food and decided to sit with her.
"Hey," I greeted once I sat down.
"Hello," she replied, chewing her food.
"Umm, I'm Jessica. I just enrolled here," I said and started eating delicious pasta in white sauce.
Yummy! The food was not that bad actually.
"Oh, well I'm Nina and I just enrolled into Masters, though I am not new here . . . I actually graduated from here." she smiled and asked, "Are you from India?"
"Oh, that's good and yes, I am." I smiled.
"Wow, I heard so much about India. My grandparents used to live there, but after my birth they moved here," she said wondering and finishing her food.
"Really? It's good to know. Have you ever been there?" I asked getting curious.
"No, never, but I want to though. We had a house there and everything . . . I guess it's in Dehradun," she said, tapping her chin with her finger.
"Dehradun is a beautiful city. You should definitely visit there." I suggested.
"Of course. Maybe we can both travel together," she giggled.
"Sure," I replied with a smile. "Where are you from?" I added.
"Boston. It's four hours from here."
I nodded, finishing my pasta and checked the time. It must be early morning in India. I should wait until everyone would be up.
Nina sensed something and pointed at my watch. "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Huh? No, I actually wanted to call home but as per 14 hours of time difference, I have to wait. They must be asleep right now."
"Alright, well it's nice to meet you. My room number is 107. If you need any help feel free to ask, okay?" she offered, getting up.
"Okay, mine is 108," I winked. "I am your new neighbor." I laughed.
