Grace enters to her hostel room and sees that two girls are already there.Both girls are also looks at her.

1st girl (whisper to 2nd girl) :- "Who is she?"

2nd girl (slowly) :- "I don't know"

Grace puts her luggage down on bed and starts to unpack her bag. Both girls are staring at her.

Grace (holds her shorts) :- "Am i look like an alien?"

1st girl (hesitates) :- "N....No..."

Grace (turns back to them) :- "Then why are you staring at me like Owl?"

2nd girl (fake smiles) :- "A.. actually we are confuse that............."

1st girl (stares at her) :- "Who are you?"

Grace (puts her towel on shoulder) :- "What if i don't tell?"

1st girl (highs her voice) :- "You are the new comer here... so you have to tell us.........."

When Grace stares at 1st girl intensely, 2nd girl gets nervous and hold 1st girl's shoulder.

2nd girl (whisper to 1st girl) :- "I don't think you should mess with her."

1st girl (hesitates again) :- "I....... also thinks so."

Grace leaves that place without saying anything and enters the washroom, Both girls breathes peace.

Other side, Natly runs towards cafeteria and sees everywhere. Finally she finds Shinell sitting at a table with two other girls.

Natly (gasping) :- "Sh... Shin....."

But Shinell is busy talking with those girls about studies.

Natly (again) :- "Shin....."

And again Shinell don't listen to her.

Natly picks the cold drink glass of Shinell and spits on it infront of her very loudly. Shinell looks at her surprisingly and the other two girls feels like to vomit and runs from there.

Shinell (loudly ) :- "What....... Nat.... What have you done? Are you mad or what?"

Natly (puts glass down) :- "I was calling you but you were not listening to me. What else would i do!!"

Shinell (gets upset) :- "That was the first drink of my day. I didn't even drink a sip you know."

Natly (sits with her) :- "Ohh.... Don't worry.... I'll buy you another one but you know there's an transfer......"

Shinell :- "It's not about buying new one. Money are not easy to earn. Our parents do so much efforts to..."

Natly (leans on her and cuts her words) :- "Shin....... Can we talk about it later. I am here to tell you something cool."

Shinell (starts to work on her lappy) :- "Tell me"

Natly (happily) :- "You know there's another girl transferred here... (thinks) her name.... what's her name..."

Shinell (typing) :- "Grace keiry klien from Maxico in Arts department."

Natly (pat on her shoulder) :- "Shin... 1st thing that we don't have such kind of rules here, 2nd thing is Beyonce is not human, she is Godzilla and 3rd is... (smiles) Grace is so cool.. i mean the way she puts down her so easily that was amazing."

Shinell :- "I knew that you'll like her but I don't."

Natly (happily) :- "You know what i am thinking..."

Shinell (turns off her lappy) :- "No"

Natly (shocks) :- "What?"

Shinell (gets up and carry her lappy) :- "We are not going to be her friends."

Natly (gets upset) :- "B..But why?"

Shinell (starts to going from there) :- "Because she is not good to be friends. Got it."

Natly :- "B......"

Then Shinell goes from there and Natly gets upset.
