It was the first day of my college. All strangers around, i knew literally no one around me. Oh No Way! How am I even going to survive this college life? I asked myself. It was so awkward!

I went to the lecture hall, tried to find myself a place to sit, but in vain. Luckily, i found an empty seat at the last row of the hall. I rushed in to get the place, but a guy sat there before i reached. Oh god! Why are these lecture halls so huge? He smirked at me. Ugh, I felt like punching him in his face. Why did he have to be so rude?

I moved around and found myself another seat. The girl beside me Suzie and I became friends instantly because we talked about stuff and related so much! I felt glad that I made a friend.

Well, it was a very brief day. It was all an intro and getting familiar with the faculty in the college and tips to survive all the years by various professors and seniors. We all left the lecture hall and explored the college. I was just looking around when I heard my phone ping to a text message. The message said, “Hey there! Do you mind becoming my friend?” "Who the hell is he?" I thought. I just ignored the message. There was another text, “why didn't your reply after you saw my message?" How did he know that I've seen the message? I looked around. Another message said, “why are you looking around? You wont find me." Ugh A stalker! But where did he get my number from? I replied asking the same. And the person told he stole it from the pohne numbers' list that circulated in the lecture hall for everyone to mark their attendance. Ugh!

I replied telling I aint interested in the friendship. Looking into my phone I walked forward when I bumped into a tall guy. *DDLJ music * Hahahahah noooo! It was the same guy who sat where I wanted to sit. He was so tall, I felt tiny in front of him and probably, shook by the bumping 🤭 "I am sorry" I told. He replied rudely, “Why do you have to walk around like a blind person?” I got offended. Why does he have to be so rude?

He walked away. I headed towards the lift, I saw a familiar person standing there waving at me. Who the hell is he now? Ugh I just ignored. He walked towards me and asked, “Hey, Sharon! How are you doing?” I really could recognize who he was and felt awkward. I just told I was doing fine and he realised I didnt recognize him. Geez! What an awkward situation. He laughed so bad at me, that I thought he has gone crazy or what? So confused I was! He then reminded me of a person I used to sit with in the primary school days. Okaaaaaay! So he Ferb, my primary school friend. How could I recognize him? He has changed so much over years. He used to be this wheatish skin tone, cute little chubby boy. How did he turn into this tall, thin, very fair bearded guy?

We just laughed off some old memories from school where we used to be the good little two kids from the naughtiest kids of our class. I asked Ferb how did he recognize me. He told I still look the same as I did in my primary school. Ah! What a joke! Oh, or, maybe not 🤭 Most people say that, but I dont feel I look the same.

I again recieved a text from that same guy asking for being friends with him. The text read, “What are you doing? Can we meet?”. What a jerk he is? Cant he get the point dude? Ferb saw me irritated and asked if all is okay. I told him about this texting guy and he checked the number. “It's Ralph. Dont worry I will make sure he doesnt text you again” he told. Hush! I was glad. 

We walked towards the canteen. I spotted the smirk guy there. I asked Ferb why is he so rude. He told me that he has always been so, probably like a spoilt mannerless brat. Ferb and the smirk guy, Melvin were classmates from high school. 

We sat in the canteen, ordered lunch and spoke to each other as we ate. We had so much to catch on since so many years. I repeatedly asked him how did he change so much appearance wise, I couldnt believe it's him!

I went back home. My little sister, as usual, was sad that I got nothing for her since I was outside. Like, dude! I am broke. How do I get something to eat every single day? 

It's a war everyday at our house. I and my mom dont get along very well. My brother doesnt want anyone to talk to him so he keeps grumbling. My sister always complains. My grandpa has a problem with every single thing the people of the house do. And my grandma always wants to watch all the existing daily soaps on tv. What wrong did I do to deserve such a family? 🥺
