6 chapter 5 Ria's POV

"Sarah stop it", I said giving her a side glance. Sarah was still laughing her guts out.

I positioned myself upright and began making ponytail of my hair. "You know what, I am here to study. I am not going to waste my extra minute on all this crap anymore."

"He might be the first person that I am attracted to but, it can't be love, right Sarah. He is correct, I was completely out of my mind today. I should put put my effort on my study and that is what I am going to do from now on. Mr John is not gonna be part of my chapter anymore. I am going to ignore him at all cost". I stated more to myself then anybody else. Not trusting my own words.

"I am hungry, let's go to the canteen. It is lunch time already", saying that I grabbed my bag and started making my way to canteen.

"wait for me", I heard Sarah yelling. But I didn't. I knew she would be joining me in no time.

Canteen looked pretty full. After buying our food we started searching for the table to eat. I saw professor John and other teacher were sitting on one of the table. His back facing our direction.

I saw one of the guy from our class looking at our direction. I gave him a polite smile. He was a good looking block. He waved his hand and pointed the empty chairs next to him. He was sitting with two other students from our class.

Sarah was still looking around for the table. "Sarah let's eat with them. That guy on the red t shirt just called to sit with them", I pointed towards their direction.

"Not bad looking, that way we can introduce ourselves as well" Sarah wishpered in my ear. I simply smiled and made our way to the table. All three of them were looking at us with the smile.

As I reached the table I put my food tray down and said, "Hi, my name is...

"Ria, we all know you", said the tshirt guy interrupting me midway. "of course," I smiled feeling little embarrassed about my first day of class. "I am Jacob", holding his hand midway for a shake. I shaked his hand briefly.

Professor John's table was just next to us. Now we were sitting Side by side. He on one side and me on the other side of the other table but same row and the gap between the 2 tables was what separating us. I choose to sit here so that I could see him if I wanted. I could see his eyes on me, while I shake my hand to Jacob. His expression looked hurt, angery, very hard to read but choose to ignore him.

Instead I tried to focus myself attention to new formed friendship. "Thank you so much everyone for letting us sit here. By the way, my name is Sarah", she waved her hand mid air.

We exchanged our introduction. Jacob and Mia were staying at the Hostel like us. While, Ritu was commuting from home. After a short introduction we started eating our food.

We started exchanging our conversations on how we are settling down, which subject we found interesting and so on. Ritu interrupted midway who was mostly eating, " You guys seems pretty close. Did you guys know each other before"?

We glanced at each other and said in unison, "since childhood".

"No wonder you guys looked inseparable", said Mia with a stuffed mouth.

They were all easy to get along with. We all became close in a short time. After finishing our food we decided to go to library as we still had 30 minutes left for our next class.

The whole time on the table, I managed to ignore Mr John. I pretended as if he did not exist. Even though I managed to glance his way few times when I was sure he was not looking. But the only problem was he was staring at me most of the time. Once I looked at him, he was eating his food.

He seems to be enjoying what he was eating. My mind was like," I wish I could be that food. Instead of food, if he was eating me, my entire body, kissing me sucking me hungrily enjoying every inch of me as he was enjoying his meal". The thought alone brought fire to my body. My heart started to race, I lost the grip on my hand and dropped the fork on the floor. which brought everyone's attention towards me.

I quickly shifted my gaze before he could fixed his on mine. Because my focus is to ignore him and bring my attention to study. I really don't know how it was going to happened as he was the only thing on my mind all the time. Which was kind of frustrating. But the must frustrating part of it was, not being able to read what was going on in his mind.

On our way to library, I looked in his direction, he was shamelessly eyeing me with those hunting gaze. I lifted both hands and tighten my ponytail and shifted my gaze slightly with the arrogance and left. I could hear him cough a little.
