Chapter 2: "First Day"

The hard day at Sara Engineering College began to rupture my mind. While I was making myself comfortable in the new atmosphere, most of them were started flirting with girls. Unlike every bag, my bag filled with foods. Engineering always gives a tough life but, a better outcome at the end. I was glancing all over the place from my class door. Seniors were ragging us, and I was thinking about the food I should eat in the first interval.

"Hey! Kid come here," someone called me.

I confirmed him, "Kid? Me?"

I looked angrily at him and asked, "What the hell?"

"You, bastard! Drop your eyes now," he said and started walking towards me.

I hold my fist so hard to hit him.

"Want to hit me? Poor kid!"I provoked.

It made his face burning under the sun. I was feeling happy but, the bell rang at the right time and he missed my punch. I saw my watch. It was 8:59 a.m.

One of his friends stopped him and suggested, "He's teasing you. Let's get him afterwards."

As they turned back, I called them again.

"Kid! Go back to the class," I said and waved.

"Excuse me! What are you doing outside the class after the bell rang?" A voice from the back.

I turned around and saw my 12th class Mathematics lecturer. That shook me upside down. It was shocking to see him in this college, and he was the only one who I fear the most. Being a Mathematics student, his physique was tremendous, The style he has maintained was on a different level of supremacy.

"I'm gone," I whispered.

He gave a big smile and said, "Long-time no see, Raghav."

I sighed. It gave me a big relief. For a second, I thought the rock would smash me into pieces.

"Y-Yes, sir!" I faltered.

He patted on my shoulders and took me with him into the class. All stood up and wished him good morning.

"Good Morning," Sir wished.

He told everyone to have their seat except me. As I was the only one standing beside him, I felt shy. I wanted to go and have a seat but sir held me tightly.

"Hello! Everyone. I hope you are fond of this college," he said.

I asked him to leave me in a low voice. He looked at me with a smile. His smile gave me nerve.

"Is he going to do something?" I asked myself.

The whole class was pin drop silent. Suddenly, someone's phone was ringing. The ringtone was very funny.

"Whose phone is ringing? Mine! Mine!"

All were looking at me. Last bench student gestured about something. I didn't get that.

"Why are you people staring at me?" I asked.

"Whoever it is, he's gone," I talked myself.

"Nice ringtone, Raghav!" Sir said.

"Hell! No."

It was my phone. I forgot that I changed my ringtone last night. I made my mind to change my college.

"Give me your phone!" He said.

"Sorry, sir!" I said.

I didn't look at the name and gave it to him.

"Oh! Bhargav?" Sir chuckled.

All were grinning at me. He picked up the call, on the loud speaker and told me to say hello. Everybody's ears got up.

"Hello," I said.

"Raghav! She joined your college," he said.

We faced each other, and I had no idea about who he was talking.

"Who is she?"

"Prachi, brother! The one, for you, always bunk Mr. Kashyap's boring class."

"You remember my name, Bhargav?" Sir asked.

"Who's talking?" Bhargav asked.

"Mr. Kashyap."

He hung up the call

"You're stupid as hell, Bhargav!" I talked myself.

All were laughing at me. He got Bhargav so hard. Even I couldn't stop laughing. He returned my phone and told me to have my seat.

"May I come in, Sir?" A girl voice from the front door

"Yes! Come in."

I took the last bench because the class was so big, and he couldn't see me.

He wore a mic and asked that girl her name. There was a guy sat beside me, constantly watching me with a smile.

"What?" I asked him furiously and pointed towards the board, "That's the board."

"Prachi!" She said.

My anger sparked off being comic in the class. As soon as I stood, she saw me. Sir made eye contact with me.
