" I have found a perfect pair for you ...come and take a glance,Alice...."

Her cheerful yet thunderous voice fell right on my ears....

That's Ashley...My dear sister...elder one of course but she has done a PhD in behaving immaturely...

I quickly ran and looked at the direction she was pointing her fingers...we were standing in our home's balcony..

There was a guy who was holding a book and sitting in the nearby street bench...He was surely focussed on that book and his ears were occupied by earphones...I don't know what kind of song might be playing in that asset...

" Didn't I already tell you ,I have no interest in nerds ?"

I rolled my eyes and walked back to my room from balcony...

Mom came in saying, " Alice ...Ashley.... its gonna be 9 already and you two are still chitchatting..."

Alice : Mom..I'm already ready...

Ashley : I'm also ...

Mom urged us to get ready quickly cause it was my first day for college...

woah...! I'm surely excited...

I was wearing a baby blue shirt and jeans...

Ashley looked at me from top to toe and asked," So you're gonna attend your first day classes with this dress,huh ?"

Alice : Yup..what's the problem ?

Ashley : Why don't you try putting on some makeup at least ?

Alice : Come on! Who cares?!

I'm always like that...I rarely care about other people's opinion ...I know what I'm doing and I basically have no idea about typical women dressing sense and makeup stuffs anyway...

So I'm joining the same college as Ashley....

but with a higher academic qualifications...and she is a senior to me...she is ofcourse in her second year and I am a fresher...Mom has high hopes on me that I'll make her proud in the future...and I believe too..cause I have never let down her expectations when it comes to studies...

I hoped in the scooter of Ashley since I don't know driving...

Ashley started driving....while the chill breeze gently touched my face....

Among the hairs of mine that was making waves in the air,I felt an inner peace that something is gonna start...I could feel that fresh beginning...

At least a new surrounding....new friends...of course I'll be too happy I guess...

I'm a person who gives importance to fun and studies equally.

So I believe everything will be awesome for me...

Ashley : Get down..we've arrived...stop day dreaming...sleepyhead...

Alice : That was too quick...

The college campus was so neat and big..

Atleast bigger than I thought...

Then she showed the way to my class....and she whispered " All the best for your first day " in my ears...those words lingered in my ears for the consecutive seconds...cause I was really excited and a bit nervous...

I looked inside the class and it seemed as if there was some exam happening...How can they conduct some tests just right on the first day?..while I was thinking like this, the professor who was watching everyone writing the test,gestured me to come in...

I went in...

Prof : Are you a fresher?

Alice : Yes sir...

Prof..: Go and sit near that window...

He said like that after giving a blank paper ( of course for writing the test ) and a question paper for the test...I sat there with those paper obligatorily...

What the hell ?! What test is this...?

When I looked into the question paper,I found out they're from the basic school subjects...oh..! nice....

so I started writing the answers I know...

I suddenly felt someone's glance over me ....that made me notice the guy sitting next to me...

He was at a two feet distance to me...

His head was like a nest...I mean what hairstyle is that ? Is it a nest ? Surely if any bird sees him,it'll try to build a family inside his hair...

He was trying to look at the answers I was writing...oh ! he wants answers huh ?

I don't like people who cheat in exams...

He doesn't look that much handsome as well..so what's the need to tell him the answers...Even if he is good looking,no need of telling him the answers...I hid my paper well so that he can't see my answers...

Again and again I'm wondering, what's with that nest head....If he's standing outside,birds will be feeling happy cause they get a free nest on his hair...

The gaze that fell on me from his side,made my spine chill a little bit...

I felt a bit uncomfortable but didn't show it out...cause of the thought ,if someone with high level of attractiveness sits with me,I should care about my looks and the first impression I make on him but since he's not that much attractive and all, he's excluded from being added to my crush list..so I was just being my own weird version there..

Finally the hours spent in the exam hall came to an end...Everyone was leaving from there after handing over the written papers to the professor...and I was about to do the same thing until I stopped hearing a voice..." where to write the name?" That's of course from that nesty head..

I pointed the place where name should be written on his paper...I just said " you have to write it here " and there was a moment of eye contact between us ...Then I broke the eye contact from him and got out from there after submitting the paper...

After that, I mingled with the crowd of students and I heard an instruction saying " Girls of first year,please move to 4 th room on left side and boys stay in this room itself.."

oh! yeah I forgot ..here in this college , male and female students have got separate classrooms and lecture halls...

Well well...

I sat finally at a place where I can feel comfortable...yup...that place fulfilled all the three conditions to be comfortable..

one,it was near window

two,it was straight down to the ceiling fan..and three, I was sitting next to a girl who really seemed nice...

so I started talking to her..

Alice : Hello..I'm Alice...what is your name ?

She : I'm Jennifer...Nice to meet you...

And then the conversation went good ..

so I got a new friend there...She seems to be just like me..just like my xerox...She seems to be nerdy and at the same time ,a fun loving person...

Then I made some new other friends too...

but Jennifer is highlight of today it seems...

I went home after attending the lecture that followed then..

It was just some orientation classes..so not much to say..

I came home and I was blabbering about everything that happened today to my sis and mom..

The following week went like the same but I regularly got the memories of that nest-headed person..I should say that I didn't see him thereafter in that week...

In a week of time,I got a bunch of friends so I made my own gang ,Becky, Kelly and Jennifer..."Vibe attracts the tribe" they say..Likewise,we've found the company ...

I felt like home there...No hesitations no embarrassed moments..I was becoming to be myself completely there..

That was a fine evening...I was taking bus from college to home...cause Nowadays my sis has gotten some extra classes there and I love bus travel so these days I regularly take buses...I caught a bus and sat there as usual..

A notification popped up in my phone saying " hi " from an unknown number..in WhatsApp..

I replied with a " hi and who's this?"

" Samson valter from your adjacent class ...the same course as you "

" Oh...I haven't seen you "

" Its OK ...You will know me better from now...let's be friends..what do you say?"

The person on the person seemed little familiar to me...I might have seen him while crossing that class probably..

I have no problem of being friends with him so I said " yes.."

and then the chat was going a bit..until I slept in the bus ...It will take one hour to reach my place from college via bus route..so I had a habit of sleeping ...

It was good cause I could recharge myself too and so I can study better..

Then the next day also,the chat was going with Samson and when I showed his pic to Becky ,she said without a moment of thinking," He doesn't look good ....you deserve better "

Hey ! to be friends with someone ,do we need good looking faces ,huh ?

After the lecture got finished,I felt sleepy so I got out from there to get some fresh air..

I was crossing in the corridor that connected both the classes ( male students and female students classes ) , until I had an interruption of someone...

Wait ! yea its Samson valter..

Alice : Hi....Sv...

Sv : Sv ? oh yeah..Samson valter,nice the nick name is!

Alice : Yup..finally you came out from chatting mode and talked to me in offline...that's appreciable..

Then we grabbed coffee from the nearby canteen...

Awww! He's really a nice fellow...My first male friend in this college...

The view from canteen window was really nice.

today I could encounter that view cause always that place will be occupied by Jennifer while me and Jennifer come together for snack purpose..

As I was looking outside through the window..I could see some girls revolving around a man...on the ground floor..

On closer look, I found out it was that famous handsome professor..I dont know why , but he has so much of girls as fans..

Speaking of that,I remembered ' yeah...he's married recently ryt ?'

Sv looked at me and found my gaze was on that crowded ground floor and he asked," Don't you think we should go and have a look at the professor...I think he's showing some pics to those girls...it might be his wife's pic right ?"

I again stole a glance and found Jennifer in that crowd so I said " yeah..let's go and have a look "

When we two reached there , there were already too much girls blocking that professor,so we couldn't reach him closer...so we were waiting near the door until sv got a call and left me there saying ," I need to go home ..its something urgent "..

I waved bye and he disappeared from that site quickly...I wasn't sure why he was in that hurry...to leave classes in middle...

I had a feeling that somebody was behind me and so I turned back to see who that was...

It was that Nesty head...

He was actually standing there waiting like when this girl will be moving away from the door...

Yup..I was standing there blocking the way...

watching the fan girls there...

When I looked at him, he gestured me to move away from his path ...it was simply amazing like I don't know what was so special in that..but that ordinary reaction and that moment felt like he's someone much closer to me ,like someone I knew from the beginning..that familiar feel...

Its weird really but I moved subconsciously.

That gesture was like only with his eyes..

He has a special pair of eyes I should agree...

After I moved,he left immediately...

My heart skipped a beat...

and I ran towards my class quickly calming myself down..

Jennifer came to me and asked ," What's the rush ? you didn't even see his wife's pic ...you ran straight away girl...."

Alice : Yeah..I ...I ...it was hot there..that's why..

Jennifer: You know what Alice...That professor's wife looks exactly like you...You two have more or less similar features anyway...

🙄Hows that possible ? I questioned and I thought yeah some people look alike...There's nothing much to surprise...

Alice : I'll see her pic another time...now let's get into the assignment writing session girl..

While writing that assignment..,I again recalled that eye gesture...I tried to do what he did...but I'm not so good in gesturing so it didn't come well..

By the way, he's not that much good enough when it comes to looks,but why at that moment I felt so attracted or what can I say ?

Something I felt towards him...

It was a magnetic feel I can say...

Jennifer : Are you zoned out ? Isn't it rare for you to think about some other things while doing assignments ....?! Did something happen ?

Alice : ( startled by the sudden questions ) uhh..Nothing...just thinking about assignment only...

Jennifer : Then fine....

She started doing her work again..

It was evening...I was in the bus as usual with a sleepy face...

Sv has uploaded a status in WhatsApp...hmm..what is it ?

I opened it and found a pic of sv ,that nesty headed guy and another boy from our class together...I don't know the third one..

I zoomed in and saw that nesty headed guy's photo...So they're friends...sv and nest head are....

Why do I feel happy to know that nesty head is my mutual friend...

Speaking of that , I can say that he doesn't smile even in real life and even in this pic as well...Why doesn't he smile anywhere ?

Why do I get a feeling that he's an alone person..?

Anyway, it is not to my concern..its my sleeping time and I don't wanna lose it..

so I started sleeping immediately...
