FAT BUT BE-YOU-TIFUL

chapter-2

"Settle Down everyone. Today is first day of your college and I want you all to be very serious and attentive! If you don't get on the right track from the very first day, I am sorry to say you all will not pass the semester." said the teacher as she wrote the topic on her whiteboard with bright red marker. She opened her book and started telling us about the topics we were supposed to cover in the following week. She then began teaching our first chapter in a bullet train speed. She taught in such a pace that the entire class started rumbling with their notebooks and pen. Five minutes in and I felt I’d pass out in few minutes, the collapsing one and not the graduating one.

The only thing that kept me from either stabbing myself from the pen or the teacher was Oliver. He was the nicest, most respectful guy I'd met. He didn't judge me from my look, didn't look down on me, didn't make fun of me and didn't care that it'd be uncool on his part if people saw him talking to me. He just kept cracking the lamest jokes ever and making me laugh.

After what felt like an era, the train did reach its station. Class was dismissed.

"Are you hungry? I am starving after the blood sucking session." Oliver said and put his pen back in his backpack. He didn't even write a word in notebook.

" I don't know about hungry but I am sure you must be thirsty. You didn't stop talking a minute just like the teacher. Now that my ears are not bleeding and I can think like a person. I think you both would make a great couple. "I replied with a giggle.

"Hey! You didn't pass out just because of me. So you are welcome. And nah, I would like to be the talkative one in my relationship."

"I know. Thanks for that. I'll do you a favor by lending my ears for next class and so on. By the way meet my friend, Hannah." I said and hurried towards Hannah who waved at me like a lunatic.

They both greeted each other with a firm handshake and we moved further to stretch and relax. We sat down on a table near the window and talked about the places we came from and other ice-breaking stuff. Oliver and I were almost like twins, with one being a skinny version and other not-so-skinny and of course keeping aside different families. We had same kind of taste in music, had same kind of sense of humor, we both were foodie and were funny, regardless of what other people thought. Oliver called some of his friends Lily, Tania and Max over to join us. We all split sandwiches together that Oliver had brought and talked about the experience of first day, which undoubtedly is always the hardest. Lily and Tania were new in the town and were looking for a permanent place to live in. I promised them to help with the search.

Hannah, on the other hand, was busy in searching something else. I asked her what was she searching for and she said nothing just looking around, soaking everything in, which was the latest excuse I have ever heard and I live next to the dumbest human being on earth, my neighbor Carl and so was not s stranger to lame reaons/ excuses. Though idiotic, but I ,too, was searching for something. More like "someone". That blue-eyed guy. I took a good glance of the whole cafeteria but he was nowhere to be found so I just ignored it. After chatting a bit more and finishing the sandwich, we headed to our classes.

Oliver, Hannah and I had same class to attend. So we waved everyone else goodbye and decided to stroll for a while before going for next class, which I deeply prayed would be a better one. As we moved in the corridors talking a little more about our childhood, I got a call from my mom which was weird because she wouldn't call during my classes, I picked up the call and she told me that there is an urgent need for her to leave and that she was waiting for me outside. I said bye to my new friend and rushed downstairs towards the main exist. Truth be told, I am not good with stairs, I always find them confusing specially when I am coming down. Not surprisingly I fumbled in hurry and fell down.

Each and every person in the hall started to laugh and comment which was just straight cut rude of them, like grow up peeps you are not in kindergarten anymore. I shrugged them off and started trying to get up which is not always easy, I saw a hand grabbing my hand and with one strong stroke, pulled me up and those same hands started picking my books while I straightened my clothes and hair.

I thanked him and when the guy finally turned to hand me the books, I got shivers down my spine. OMG! He was that same blue-eye guy I had been searching all over. And now that I saw him, I was in a very embarrassing situation.

WHHHYY MEE AAALLLLWWWWAAAAAYYYYSSS?

He smiled at me and asked me politely if I was fine or not. Why was he smiling? At me? Was he high? As far as I know hot guys are not nice.

I gulped and without saying anything rushed towards the main gate where my mom was waiting for me.

Oh god, why is he so sexy and why did I have to embarrass myself in front of him.
