Having some issues with socializing Ishita sat silently on her bench waiting for the class to start. It's her 1st day, she's nervous but can't share anything that she thought to anyone. She's new in the city where she got admission and found coaching nearby the college.

 "I don't know how I will interact with all of them?"- she thinks.

 "I just know one girl whom I met at the entrance, and she just helped me to enter the room but she didn't even sit beside me." Oh my God I don't know what to do.

 "Hey hii"

  I suddenly hear an unfamiliar voice behind my back. I turned my head to listen to that voice clearly. A guy having a beautiful smile on his face looking towards me with his smiling eyes. I was shocked for a while. That person's eyes and smile made my heart race for a moment.

He again said, "Hii, are you a new student here?"

I zoned out from my fantasy world to reality.

 'Yes' I said silent but clear voice.

"Are you Sanam's friend?" Sanam is the girl whom I met at the entrance gate.

Sorry! Who's Sanam? I said.

"The one that you came with." He said casually.

"Ohh, so her name is Sanam?"

 Don't you know her! He asked.

Nope I just met her today at the entrance gate. - I said.

"Ohhh", he exclaimed, "I thought you knew her and her friend.

By the way what's your name, new student - he asked while holding his face with both of his hands, like cupping his face with his hands.

My.. Myself Ishita. Nice to meet you.

Wow, having such a good name. Let me introduce myself, myself Bhairav. Nice to meet you . We're glad to have you in our group.

"Hii"

... 'Omo my heart skipped a beat' - inner thinking....

Good Morning class - Teacher came with holding two books.

Bhairav, sit properly. He ordered the boy.

Ok ok. he replied with a disgusted expression.

Ahh... you are the new student right. The teacher suddenly asked me.

Yes.. yes sir. I stand up from my bench to greet him.

Ok. As you are new here. Let's be introduced among the class. Come forward. He smilingly indicates me to come to the front.

Hello Everyone Myself Ishita, and today's my first class with you all.

Ok students, she's new and she didn't have any particular notes with her maybe. Right?

Yes sir.

Ok so I hope you all help her in her studies and hope that Ishita also can make friends with everyone present here.

Hey listen, the teacher said in a low voice that only I can hear. Distance yourself from that guy earlier, ok. He's the naughtiest student here in my class.

Who? I looked at him surprisingly.

Bhairav. Understood?

Ok sir. I'll keep that in my mind

Ok Ok .. let's start today's lesson go sit at your desk.

Ishita's pov-

After the coaching classes I return to the hostel.

Today's my 1st day in a new college, hope it's going well.

The air of the new place was a little different, I had to adapt myself to that new place. First day of college and I was feeling a little nervous.I had collected the timetable by asking some students in the coaching class.

"First class is at 10.30 so I have to go before 20 minutes. You can do it Ishita. "- I encourage myself during the time I walk to my college. I don't know whether I will be able to get along well with my classmates or desk mates.

Hey Ishita.

A familiar voice, as if someone was calling me from behind. I looked back and saw a boy with a beautiful smile on his face coming towards me with some of his friends. He was none other than Bhairav, whom I met this morning.

How can a person smile so beautifully?Ah my heart skipped a beat!I don't know why I feel like this but... I just don't know and don't want to know.

Were you going alone? He asked.

Y-yes,Why??

Nothing, we are all heading to class, let's go together.

Again a sweet smile appear in his face.

Hey who's she? His friend whispered in his ears, but I could clearly hear his voice.

She's new here. He answered

Ohh, A new student! his friend asked.

Yes. He said

Hii there I'm Raghav. His friend introduced me.

Hii.. Myself Ishita.

Ok ok enough of your introduction we have to head on to the class bro. Ishita let's go. Bhairav break the handshake🤝 of me and Raghav.

Yeah, yes. I replied.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

...AFTER THE CLASS...

[Ishita, Bhairav ​ and his two friends were returning together after finishing class.]

Ohhhh God Finally it's over. I was tired of listening to the lecturer's chatter. Bhairav sighed.

Hey Man You were dozing off the entire class, when did you hear his chatter? Raghav said

Shut up You fool. Bhairav replied

Ohhh guys stop it now. I'm fed off from your chatter rather than the lecturer. Another one replied irritatedly...

Ishita pov:-

  I was laughing listening to their bickering. All of them are very good friends, I wish I too had such friends.

Hey Ishita. Did you make any new friends in class?

"Suddenly Bhairav asked me so I flinched a bit."

No, classes were going on, so how could I make friends at that time? I replied.

Ohh please are you serious!!... Ok leave it. You will make friends with time, chill now. We're your friends now.

Hey where are you staying? Raghav asked me.

I..

She's staying in our campus hostel. Bhairav replied before me.

Let's drop her there then. Raghav said.

Thank you. I replied

Hey, there is no need to maintain formality, we are friends, and the first rule of friendship is, Bhairav showed a smirk on his face ( I don't know what he's thinking though )

NO SORRY, NO THANK YOU All there started to shout that out

Friends!? I thought I knew what friendship is. But I didn't know the proper definition of it. But I always want friends. I want to be friends with someone who can understand me, to whom I can share my inner troubles. I felt happy after hearing this sentence from Bhairav's mouth.

That sentence echoes in my head throughout the night till I close my eyes.
