Taming Him with My Innocence

Chapetr-4 Burning alive

A week has passed now. The class' difficulties are progressing gradually. I feel like giving up now. I'm so not used to this environment. Today we have an in-class project to complete. We need to form a group of ten and make a project and I just got to know that every material we use needs to be created from scratch. I came up with several ideas, but the problem is, I haven't talked to anyone but Madeena, and we are kind of introverted. Madeena is a good-looking cute person. People approach her to talk. She talks to selective people.

Now the problem is, I hadn't made an effort to get closer to anyone, so, my flight or fight mode activated, and I went and started to talk to a few people. I verbally dragged them out from their place to mine and went for other fish. That is when I met Rohit. I observed all these days he is a chatterbox and can talk to anyone. I thought if he was in our group people might be interested in working with us, so I don't know HOW I did that. I commanded him to be in my group. I said "You must be in my group, not in anyone else" and didn't give him a chance to reply. To my surprise, he didn't mind and quietly (not so quietly) followed me. It was the first time I had talked to someone like that. Finally, we formed a group of ten: me, Madheena, Rohit, and the other girls I talked to. We started to work on ideas. I have shown my ideas, and we are all brainstorming. I guess other groups have already started working. We felt that this process is taking time, and divided work we need to first create a base and blocks. That is the main goal, and after that, assembling them. This might sound easy, but it is a lot of physical labor. We agreed on an idea to create abstract art which depicts highs and lows in one's life.

We had 4 hours of time to complete the task and another hour to present it. The whole class was in chaos, everyone was tired, and their spirits were really low. Some people even started showing signs of depression. It is hard to stay positive in that environment,

Usually humans lifespan is at this low. I feel too old right now. I don't know what I am craving. I had to eat something or else I would end my life here. Handling a group of 10 in your first group project is quite difficult. These are like all gears that need a lot of lubricant to work smoothly. I went out to go to the canteen to buy something for the folks, and also, for me, I brought some chips and juice. I hope they like it. If they don't, I will eat everything. I am that hungry, the heat is getting to my head. I feel like I'm burning alive.

That is when I saw him.
