Space academy

Nandini enters the college, because of going to the murthy industries she is an hour late.

P : where were u Nandu, u missed the first lecture

N : sorry, actually it took time in the office, never mind I will take notes from u later.

P : OK fine, my next lecture is of communications, what do u have.

N : I have science, I will see u later in cafeteria.

They bid bye to each other and go towards their respective classes.

N : thanks Ayiappa at least I am on time.

Nandini goes and takes a seat in the middle of the classroom, by chance the seat beside her remains vacant.
The professor enters and a new student enters behind him.

Professor : morning class, today we have a new student,he is very intelligent and is here on scholarship,  I hope u make him feel welcome. Introduce urself.

The new guy comes ahead and introduces himself.

Guy : hello, I am aryaman khurrana.i look forward to making new friends and learning a lot.

Professor : the seat beside nandini is empty, go and sit there.

Aryaman sits beside nandini and the professor starts with the lecture. After a few minutes attention of many students is gone and they are all busy in there own world's.

Aryaman (Ar) : hello I am aryaman

N : nandini murthy

Nandini turned towards him and smiled brightly.

Ar : nice to meet you, so u have no friends

N : why do u think so?

Ar : maybe because u were sitting alone

N : no it's just that no one in this class, although I would like a new friend.

Aryaman smiles and frowads his hand, nandini shakes it and grins.

Ar : friends then miss murthy

N : why not, actually I think even my group will like u, it's always good to have new friends.

Ar : I hope they do, since I know no one here.

Nandini and aryaman talk a lot about general things, she also tells him about her group of friends, he discussed about his family, all in all they bond quite a lot.

After the bell nandini takes him to the cafeteria to introduce to others.

All are sitting on there permanent table, chit chatting, Adi and Manik are still not present which confuses her a little since the meeting should have been over by now.

N : hi guys, I have someone to introduce, he is aryaman my new friend.

Everyone looks at him and introces themselves, preeti nandini and aryaman becoming friendly too soon. Although cabir and Mukti didn't warn up to him quickly, rest of them have no problem taking him into the group. For a change even Harshad had nothing to say. Slowly the conversation going around about there hobbies, in which nandini and aryaman have common interests.

Suddenly nandini gets up upon a call from shivaay.

N : what bhai but how did this happen, all was fine before I left
