Day 1 of new beginning

I woke up at 8am. A feeling of excitement along with a little nervousness spread throughout my body.

I laid on my bed for a while holding my phone, looking at my today's schedule.

Today onwards no sick people around me. No-one will make me feel i am old-school just because i never did drugs...

"Already up, did u sleep well?" A voice came and i snapped out of my thoughts. It was my mumma. She was standing on the door.I usually don't speak for atleast a hour after waking up so i simply grunt and she understood.

Chuckling she left the room.

I got up and did my regular worked out. 

I joined my parents on dinning table for breakfast, "Good morning" i greet them.

"From where did the sun rise today?" Said arjun. Arjun is my brother, he was jolly and chilled one. He teased me all the time but knows his limits. We were pretty close to each other.

"No seriously. Why did you wake up so early today. Its still not noon yet." He teased me munching on his aloo paratha. He was a foodie and ate lots of sugar and ghee. But still he had lean body.

"Its my first day of college, I transferred to another one if you remember." I replied grabbing a toast.

"Are you sure about transferring? You can still go to you old one. I don't understand why you suddenly decided to change." Asked papa. He was in his late forties and typical brown dad vibe. 

"Yes i am sure. Its not that big deal." I replied chewing my toast.

"First of all, sit properly kavya. Put your legs down, you don't sit cross legged on chair." Ordered my mumma. Mumma and I always fight. She is commander in chief and I am a rebel. She is very fair and plum, and papa have dark tone. Its like rasgulla and julab jamun got married.

"And secondly, the new college is much far. It will be more than an hour drive to your college. You are already a lazy fish, will you be able to cope up?" She asked taking her seat. She snatched the plain toast from my hand and placed a paratha in my plate.

"You know I am on diet. This is way too oily." I complained.

"Its not, eat fast and get dressed." She ordered. I did the same.

"How are you planning to handle the college and classes together?" Asked papa. 

"Its all settled", I replied. I teach maths and science to class 10th. When i was in first year of college my neighbour asked me to help her daughter in studies. The daughter along with her friends insisted me to be their tutor. Since then i teach. Its not huge classes stuff, but yes i have 2 batches.

After the breakfast I took a quick shower and wore high waist black jeans with a white string top along with knee length nude shrug. I never tie my hairs, open hairs make me feel confident. I just put serum on my long black hairs and let them flow.

After few hours, I was walking towards the college building, 

" late by 45 mins" I whispered, the drive from home took longer than expected. Now i have to wait till the second lecture starts. I sighed. 

I walked into the corridor looking for Lr. 26. 

It was on the second floor on extreme corner of the left wing of the building of the college.It took me 15 mins to find it. It was the only class without room no. Board on it. I saw few girls giggling outside the class. 

One of them was standing by the door of  the class so i rushed over to her and ask " is this Lr.26?"

She was a plum girl with fair skin and long brown wavy hairs tied into a low pony tail. By her appearance she looked kind.

"Yes" she nodded and entered the class after me. 

I  quickly glaced around the room feeling excite. I saw few bored students using phone, few looking at the new face(me), and some talking to each other. The lecture room had 5 rows of benches and many windows. Fully ventilated.

I sat on a bench of an empty row. 

The introductory lectures were over. The classes started few days back but I was not allowed to attend lectures till all the formalities were over. 

Professor entered the class with huge smile on his face. He was young, with dark complexion and raven hairs. I already knew him as he was HoD and he also helped me to complete the formalities.

 He  talked casually to few students before he asked me to introduce myself. My favourite part. I got up and walked up to the stage, 

"Hello guys" I greet loudly. No response.life-less eyes staring me. I cleared my throat and continued.

"I am kavya Advani. I am your new class mate." I said still no response.

"Why did you choose Xavier's? Isn't the last year supposed to be the most important one?" Asked professor in his deep and calm voice.

"Actually, I had faculty issues and also the education standards are much high here." I completed. Most people have stage fear but I have stage excitement. I love being on stage.

I was about to sit on my bench when sir introduced me with few girls. I picked my bag and sat with a girl on the last bench

At this point, I knew that people around here were numb but i was happy.
