Day 2

"Alice, get up, won't u go to the college?" My mom called me up.

I looked at the watch. What?! It was already 7:30 and I need to go out of my house at 8.

I jumped out of my bed and rushed to the bathroom , I came out in 15 min. I need to look good today. It's my first day. Mental Breakdown! Why am I always late.....

I'll put on an alarm from tomorrow. Won't forget!!!

I took out my plain blue straight jeans and a white t-shirt. Tied my hairs into a ponytail with a twilly scarf, my favourite one with small black and brown flowers. I look good!

Mom prepared toasted bread and milk for me. I hurriedly ate it.

"Alice, I won't be able to go to drop you to the college. I'm really sorry for that. I urgently need to go out of states, due to some work. I'll be back after two days." Dad told me while I was wearing my shoes.

"It's okay Dad." I smiled.

"You'll go with Steve. He is waiting outside for you already." Mom came out of the house saying.

I went out and saw Steve waiting outside. He looked at me , his brown eyes met mine... I couldn't help myself staring at his face. He is so handsome. Coincidentally, he was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans too.

"Couple goals." Alex whispered from my back. I immediately blushed and I pinched him hard.

"Truth is bitter, I know that." He said laughing and ran away inside my home. I ignored him. We ain't couples, so I shouldn't mind. Calm down, Alice.

"Steve, take care of my daughter." My mom told him as if I were a kid and he is my dad. LOL!

"Sure, Mrs Saforia." He said smiling. He is so hot smiling. I die.......

Like yesterday we were quite till we reached the bus stand. When the bus arrived, I went in first and sat on the window sit. I thought he will sit with me.... but.... he sat behind me. Fine. Okay. Is he shy? Or I look weird? He got a gf? Or he is just an introvert? Or too arrogant maybe because he looks good... Ah! All these questions are eating my head. Let it be... I should not care an arrogant guy.

There are four stoppages to the college. At the second stoppage, a boy, who looked like mine age, came near my sit.

"Can I sit?" He asked.

Before I could answer him Steve came and sat next to me.

It was so awkward. But I'm happy. Very happy!

The boy the sat on another sit.

"Anything wrong?" I asked Steve.

He looked at me for a moment then he again looked front without saying anything.

I thought he will reply something. But he is DUMB!

I reached the college and the college was too big. I'm sure I'll get lost if I'm alone.

"St. Peters College." I read the name. I saw Mike came with Chloe coming.

"Hi Alice" Mike said waving at me. Atleast some human present in the college unlike the alien, Steve.

"Hello Mike" I said smiling at him. Chloe was busy fixing her hairs although it was much better than mine. She was looking pretty today with a short red flower printed dress. She has beautiful beige skin and brown curly hairs with a perfect figure.

"Steve, let's go to the class." Chloe said going near him holding his arm.

I'm so so so jealous. But what can I say? (feels sad) I'm no match with Chloe(sigh). They both walked away.

"See you in the class Alice and Mike." Chloe told us while going with Steve.

"Hey Mike. Are they in a relationship?" I couldn't hold my curiosity.

"Of course no. They are just friends and Steve won't like her anyways." He said laughing.

"Why? She is beautiful and maybe smart as well." I said surprised.

"I don't know Alice. We have been friends since we were kids. But I never saw Steve showing interest in her. To be honest he has never been close to any girl." I said thinking seriously.

"Then, is he a gay?" I asked.

Mike started laughing hard. I joined him too.

"Don't worry. Maybe he'll fall in love with you."

I immediately blushed. "Oh come on Mike!"

"Haha, I can see someone's blushing. You like him right?" Mike asked laughing.

"No, of course I don't. How can I like an alien who don't even talk. Proud man he is." I said with my face red like tomatoes. " Let's go to the class Mike, we will be late."

I do really like Steve a bit. But I know nothing will be ever possible between us. I'm happy with whatever I'm am now. Being single, I can look a lot of handsome boys. Haha!

We have biology in the first class. I saw Steve and Chloe sitting together in the fourth bench. Steve looked at me and I don't know why I started staring at him.

"You okay?" Mike asked patting my back.

"Yes yes " I startled. Gosh! Why did I just stare at him?!!

Mike took the third sit, exactly infront of Chloe. "Alice, come and sit here." Mike said pointing at the sit just infront of Steve. I went and sat there silently.

After two minutes a young lady around 30 came inside the classroom.

"Good morning my dear students. I'm Ella and I'll be teaching you'll biology. Hope you will enjoy the classes. So let's start with 'Cell Cycle and Cell Division'. Take out your books and copies and write down the important points." Mrs Ella said. She looks damn gorgeous.

"Do you have extra pen?" Steve suddenly whispered in my ears. I looked back immediately. DAMN! His face ... so ... close to mine ...

I blushed and looked front quickly. I took out my pencil bag and gave him the pen without looking at him. I'm afraid, he will see me blush and that will be embracing!

I'm happy he talked with me. *cries in happiness*

"So that's all for today. Revise the notes at home. Thank you all." Mrs Ella said after an hour and went out.

"What class now?" I asked Mike.

"Chemistry practical. It will two students in a group." He said. "Will you be in my group Alice?" He asked me.

"That will be decided by the teacher Mike." Chloe said from behind. I was about to agree with him.

The college is too big. It has five blocks for the classes. Block A is for the students. B for the others. C for the practicals. And I don't know what's block D and E for. That's of course for students, but don't know which subjects. There is a big canteen behind block B. Grounds for different games are also there. I'll discover the whole college when I get free time. Hope I don't get lost.

"Alice, nice to see you again." Mr. Williams said.

"Good morning, Mr Williams." I smiled.

Mr Williams started dividing the students into group of two. Chloe was given with a girl with a cute face, blond hairs, brown eyes, with a fair skin. She was much shorter than Chloe. Mike got a partner with a boy named Garry( I heard Mr. Williams called out his name). He was tall with lot of poke marks on his face, probably suffered from chicken pox.

"Alice, since you are new, Steve will be the best partner for you. He is good in the practicals. I'm sure you won't face any difficulties." He said.

I looked at Steve. He face showed no sign of happiness or disappointed. I went and stood near him. He went to the shelves and brought burette, burette stand and pipette.

"Can you bring two beakers, a conical flask and a funnel from the third shelve?" He asked me when he came back bringing the apparatus.

"Okay." I said.

I brought them and I was about to keep them in the table but Steve suddenly came close to me and took the beakers from my hand. Jis hands touched mine. I looked down at the floor because I BLUSHED! Why do I blush so much when I'm near him. Ah! I'm angry...

Mr. Williams started explaining the practical.

"We are going to start today with acid and base titration. One member of each group come with the breakers, I'll give you dilute NaOH and HCl."

"I'll go." Steve told me.

"Okay."

He came back with the beakers and asked, " Do you have marker pen?" I nodded and gave him the pen. He then wrote the name of the reagents. His handwriting is very nice unlike mine.

Mr. Williams explained everything and showed us how to do the titration. "I guess you all can try it now. Be careful with the pipette. Don't let the HCl go inside your mouth.'' He said.

"Can I use the pipette first?'' I asked Steve. He nodded and gave the pipette. I then tried to suck the HCl slowly. I looked at Steve for a moment. His face! God ! Damn! It was so funny like the way he was watching as if he was five year old kid. I couldn't help myself laughing and guess what?! BOOM! The damn acid, HCl, went inside my mouth!

I almost chocked. Mr. Williams came running. "Steve, take her to the washroom! Fast!''

Steve hold me by my waist. His right hand on my waist and his left hand holding my hand. ''Hey?! Don't panic. It's gonna be fine.'' He said. I nodded and walked fast with him to the washroom.

"Try to vomit, if you can.'' He said patting my back gently

''Hmm.''

I took almost 10 minutes in the washroom. I looked at him. He looked like as if he was angry with me. Of course he should be, I wasted his time. It would have been better if I had let him use the pipette. I feel guilty.

''I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used the pipette.'' I said.

'' That doesn't matter.'' He said seriously and came close towards me. I don't know what to do, I'm scared. I started to walk back and he didn't stop moving forward.

I back hit the wall and now I know that I can't move any further. He stood very close near me. There's only two inch gap between our face.

"What made you laugh? Do I look like a jocker?" He asked.

''Huh?'' I said surprised

"Tell me?''

''No, you don't look like a jocker. You are handsome.'' I said, scared.

He looked at my eyes and moved back. Did he blushed? Oh shit Alice! How can you say at his face that he is handsome?! Oh! How shameless I'm!

''Let's go back to the lab.'' He said.

"Okay.'' I said. I'm confused with what he is thinking.
