chapter 2

On the first day of college, Esra was so happy to see him and learn more about him; she was very excited. Everyone in the class was discussing the one who got a 96. The head teacher came to the class to discuss upcoming topics, and everyone focused on what they would learn. As usual, Esra was late to class, entering in a sports uniform based on information from bullies about sports day. When the headmaster saw Esra, he was furious she came late and wasn't dressed properly. The teacher asked how she arrived without punctuality, leading to laughter from the classmates. Esra glanced at Merin, and he smiled at her, recalling her from the entrance test and sensing her affection. While everyone laughed, Renov revealed that Esra was the one who got a 96, explaining her disregard for rules. Classmates stopped laughing, and whispers spread about Esra's unexpected attire.

As the class began, everyone took notes, but Esra tried to talk with Merin, who pretended not to know her. She wondered why he was acting strangely, as he had just smiled at her with affection. Esra sat next to Renov, who laughed and asked if she wanted to join sports to express love by wearing the uniform. Merin left the room, and she followed him, asking if he remembered her. He replied, "Do I know you?" and walked away.
