"Do you still hate me?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
Getting admitted into her favorite college doesn't turn out to be that awesome when Sandhya Rai comes face-to-face with her childhood arch-nemesis aka Ved Rajput - her worst nightmare in human form.
Would...
"Chill, mom! I got everything." I hugged her and dad. She will never stop worrying.
"Okay, bye. I will be late for the bus," I said and rushed out of my house.
I started speed walking towards the bus stop. I didn't want to be late on the first day of college. I was excited and nervous too.
I reached the bus stop and called Surbhi to know if she had left her home or not. She told me she was on her way.
Even though Surbhi and I met just last year, we had an instant connection and became best friends in a really short span of time.
I couldn't be happier. My bestie would be with me in college too.
I am going to enjoy these three years to the fullest.
The bus driver honked and other passengers started to rush past me. I hurriedly got in and luckily got an empty seat. After forty minutes of driving, I reached my destination. I got off the bus and started walking.
"Sandhya!" I turned around on hearing my name and got pulled in a bone crushing hug.
"Surbhi! Nice to see you too, but would you mind letting me breathe?"
She pouted and let me go. She linked her left arm with my right one and we started walking toward our college.
I took a good look at her. She had gotten a little plump since I last saw her but her milky white skin glowed, just like her dark brown eyes and her silky black hair flowed like ocean waves. Her round chubby face didn't require any makeup nor did her full red lips. She was a natural beauty.
She was dressed in a simple plaid red t-shirt and denims jeans but she carried herself so confidently; giving tough competition to the supermodels.
How did I become friends with such a beautiful girl?
"Did you enjoy your holidays?" I asked.
"They were kind of boring."
"Boring?! You went on a world tour," I complained.
"You know what I mean," she said and I rolled my eyes.
"I missed you. You should have come along with me," she added.
"I couldn't afford it."
"I said I would cover your expenses," Surbhi whined.
"Nope. Never. I don't want to sponge off you."
"Meanie."
I chuckled and she began telling me how her cousins made it hell for her.
"ID please," The security guard said as we reached the gates.
"We are freshers. We haven't received it yet," I replied and he brought up a list from his cabin. He asked for our names and let us in after confirming with the list.
As we stepped inside the premises, a proud smile adorned my face. We stopped to admire the marvellous building in front of us which was painted in red and yellow colour, and was going to be our second home for upcoming three years.
