FIRST DAY IN COLLEGE
Assembly finished. Time to enter class.
Anuvob was walking with books. Serious face.
Soccho was behind, making jokes with everyone.
Suddenly bump! Anuvob's books fell.
Rebeka was in front.
Rebeka: "Sorry sorry!"
Anuvob bent to pick them up. "It's ok. Are you okay?"
Rebeka looked up. Only her eyes were visible under the hijab. "Hmm."
Soccho came running. "Bro are you okay? Oh hello miss."
Ayesha was with Rebeka. "What happened?"
Soccho: "Are you new?"
Ayesha: "Yes. Are you a senior?"
Soccho: "No. We are new too. I am Soccho, this is Anuvob."
Anuvob nodded. "Anuvob."
Rebeka: "I am Rebeka."
Ayesha: "And I am Ayesha. Nice to meet you."
THE MISCHIEVOUS-SWEET FRIENDSHIP STARTS
Next class, the 4 of them got seats side by side.
Teacher: "Group project. 4 people in one group."
Anuvob: "Good. Studying will be easy."
Soccho: "No. Hanging out will be easy."
Rebeka opened the book. "Should we do Chapter 1?"
Ayesha yawned. "Later. Say your names first."
Next 1 hour: Anuvob explained math. Calm, slow.
Rebeka listened carefully, noted everything.
Soccho cracked jokes. "Did you see Sir's head?"
Ayesha laughed loudly. "Shh, Sir is coming."
Teacher shouted: "Be quiet!"
All 4 got punishment. Standing outside.
Outside, Soccho: "On the first day itself we became friends through punishment."
Ayesha: "Best day ever."
Rebeka: "Didn't get to study."
Anuvob: "We will tomorrow. Today let the friendship happen."
DIFFERENCES
After class, at the canteen.
Rebeka: "I am going to the library."
Anuvob: "Me too. Let's study together."
Ayesha: "I will hang out."
Soccho: "Me too. Shall we sit at the canteen?"
Anuvob to Rebeka: "Do you read a lot of books?"
Rebeka: "Yes. Books are my best friend."
Anuvob smiled. "Mine too."
Soccho to Ayesha: "Why do you talk so much?"
Ayesha: "And why do you study so little?"
Soccho: "Whatever I study, that's enough."
Ayesha: "Same to same."
EVENING - FAREWELL
In front of the college gate after college, the 4 of them.
Soccho: "Will you come again tomorrow?"
Ayesha: "Of course. It's not fun without you."
Rebeka: "And what about studying?"
Anuvob: "Studying + Hanging out. Both will happen."
They exchanged numbers.
Anuvob saved: "Rebeka - Bookworm"
Soccho saved: "Ayesha - Talking machine"
Rebeka saved: "Anuvob - Calm boy"
Ayesha saved: "Soccho - Mischievous boy"
