‘Phone ringing’

“Who’s calling this early in the morning?” “Bro freshers will come today” , answering the call i heard my best friend’s voice “hain?!?” I was half asleep and i didn’t register whatever the fuck he said.

“The new semester is starting today and you’re still in zombie mode?”

That's when it clicked me. It's the 1st of august, which means new semester. “I will be there.” With that I jumped out of bed and quickly did my chores.

“Aunty breakfast?” I yelled while entering the dining room. “Here’s your coffee,” Ruksana aunty said, already serving breakfast.

She has been like a second mother to me ,due to business my parents were mostly out of India but Ruksana aunty was there since

the day i was born i never saw her as a servant but more like a family member.

“I have a feeling your luck is about to shine today’’ she claimed.

“You read another horoscope?” She always believed in these shitty myths.

“I can bet on it.”

“You have lost the last 7 bets,” I replied, chuckling a little.

“Well I only ever lose to you, you never lose a bet .”

“I am honored aunty.” With that I picked my bag and grabbed my keys.

Before I could open the door a message interrupted ‘You’re coming right?’of course it had to be her.

Shouldn’t have done that fling.

“Yes” I replied back while inserting the key, car roared to life.

Hardly fifteen minutes later I was in the parking lot waiting for my friends. “He called me and is running late jerk..”

“Hamzaaaaa” fucking hell that high pitched voice belongs to…

“Yes rimsha?”

“You look so good.”

“Hmm.”

Thank goodness Zayan arrived, saving me from this hell.

“Shall we?”

I left that place as fast as I could.

Walking down the cafeteria my eyes fell on freshers. Last year I was one of them, we sat at our table, no we surely didn’t buy it. We sat here twice and it just belonged to us ever since then.

“Look who decided to show up today,” was Aliya mam’s voice.

“Oh I was dying to see your face.” Zayan laughs towards her.

“Shut Up and get to the class.” she scolds us with a smile on her face.

I made my way through the crowd “Bro freshers over there.” Zayan beamed from the side.

I turned to see where he was pointing “oh damn” that was the only thing that left my mouth because-

In the middle was a girl in a white and lavender suit,

Shoulder length hair,

Brownish white skin,

Far too innocent for me.

and- “Scanning procedure over?” Zayan taunted

“I was just looking” no doubt she’s pretty but a bit too boring for me.

Zayan raised a brow clearly enjoying himself.

“She’s pretty.” I admitted with a shrug “but she looks like the type who says ‘oh my god’ if someone swears”

He snorted “And you say it like that’s a bad thing.”

I leaned back, folding my arms. “Too vanilla.I need someone who bites back not someone who’ll blush when I look at her.” Even after saying this I couldn’t help but steal another glance.

“Let’s go. First class is about to start.” Zayan stated

“Yeah.” I agreed, tearing my eyes away from her and walking towards the class.
