3 Chapter Three : New Beginnings

Rhythm finished her breakfast with lighting speed. After what just happened she wanted to avoid every human who was present there. While eating she kept her eyes on the food without looking anywhere else. Thankfully Ihit said nothing to her or she would have died on the spot.

In her mind she was already plotting and planning to kill her brother. He always does that to her. Never missed a single chance to embarrass her.

"I think we should go now," Neer said getting up from the breakfast table.

"Yeah," Rhythm jumped from her place and joined her brother.

"Which gypsy you guys are taking?," Ihit asked Neer.

"I'm driving her myself," Neer answered.

"Alright. Good Luck," Ihit said looking at Rhythm. Rhythm smiled back.

"I'm getting nervous," Rhythm said, "How much time it'll take to reach there?,"

"Few minutes more. Don't worry okay. You'll do just fine and if anything happens remember I'm only a call away," Neer replied giving a promising smile.

"I know," She side hugged her brother.

She was getting more nervous as they were approaching the college. It was totally a new experience for her though she is an extrovert but this thing was totally new for her, moving to a metro city and living alone without her family and friends, though her brother is in the same city she knows she has to fight her battles on her own now. She has to start from the beginning, make new friends, blend with other and make a spot for herself. She had no idea how she's gonna do that but she was sure she will figure it out.

She doesn't came this far to be scared. This new college was a big opportunity for her to make her dreams come true. She wanted to just rock in the college,have a good time, learn new things and have a life she always wanted.

"Let me carry the bag," Neer said asking for Rhythm's backpack.

"No it's not that heavy. You're already carrying a lot," she replied.

"What are in those bags? Rocks?," Neer said while taking her luggage.

She rolled her eyes at him.

They walked to the hostel. Hostel was located little far from the college campus but it was as nice as college campus with greenery everywhere. There was a garden too. Her brother went to meet the warden and got the keys of her room. Her roommate has already arrived.

Neer helped her putting her luggage in the room. He checked everything and asked her to call him if there's any problem.

"You said this for like hundred times. Obviously I'll pester you if anything happens. So chill," Rhythm said while walking to the parking with her brother.

"Call me daily okay or I won't mind coming here daily and checking up on you I don't care how embarrassed you get," he said teasing her.

"Alright," she said with a sad tone.

"Don't start crying now," he laughed.

"I'm not crying," she elbowed him.

"Okay. Come here," he engulfed him in a bear hug. "Take care of yourself okay," he said.

"Yeah," she replied.

She stood there waving at him till his car went out of her sight.

Rhythm went back to her room. She hasn't met her roommate yet. Maybe she is hanging with others she thought to herself. She inspected the room; it was nice with two bed placed on the opposite side of the room, sunlight was coming through a big window, two study tables were there and two cupboards were there too. So this is the place where she is going to stay for two years. "Not bad," she said to herself.

She started unpacking her stuff as today there was no activity in the college so she had whole day to herself, she thought it's better to settle down today only who knows when she will get time after regular classes commence.

She spend whole day unpacking and arranging her stuff. When she was half done she crashed on the bed. She was very tired now and she needed rest. She thought she will do rest of the work tomorrow for now she should rest.

"Hello there,".

Rhythm got up and saw a pretty face smiling at her.

"Hey," she replied with a smile.

"I'm Tisya. Your new roommate," pretty girl introduced herself.

"Rhythm," she replied back.

The girl standing in front of Rhythm was quite pretty with fair complexion, dark brown eyes and hair, nice height and fit body. She was standing gracefully giving good vibes.

"I brought snacks for you in case you are hungry," Tisya offered her a food tray she saw carrying.

"Yeah. Thanks," Rhythm said, "why are you standing? Please sit,".

"I was looking how quickly you're done decorating the room," she giggled.

They talked while having snacks. They talked about each other. Tisya told she is from Bangalore but since the college is very far from her house she is staying in college. She was a very nice girl with a sweet nature. She thought they can definitely be friends. From her Rhythm got to know that classes has already been started and she is two week late. Rhythm got worried how she will catch up but Tisya said she will help and has nothing to worry. 

While they were chatting they heard someone knock on their door. Tisya got up and opened the door. She saw a pamphlet lying on the door she picked it and closed the door.

"What is it?," Rhythm asked.

"Our invitation to the fresher's party," Tisya chirped with her eyes twinkling.
