I looked at myself in the mirror for the one last time satisfied with my outfit. Me and my friends started to campus after having a quick breakfast.
After few classes, I headed towards the auditorium. "Hey Sanjana wait", came a voice behind me making me startled. I turned back and instantly relaxed knowing that it was Pranay.
"Hello Pranay, how are you?", I asked him. "Oh come on Sanjana, don't be so formal with me. I am your friend right?", asked Pranay with a playful gaze.
"Yes, we are", I agreed as we both entered into the auditorium. I informed Pranay that i will be sitting with my friends. He nodded and left to sit at the back of the room.
I joined my friends and in the meanwhile I saw the same handsome guy entering. He as usual sat at the back of the room. My gaze automatically followed him until he took a seat.
Soon our professor came in and started the class. I heard some one calling me from behind. It was Hema, the girl I sat behind on the first day of class. She asked me for an extra pen. I turned back and gave her the pen and eventually my eyes followed the last seat. I saw him sleeping peacefully.
I turned back and focused on the class. As I was writing my notes, professor stopped teaching abruptly. I raised my head to look at him and his angry gaze was fixed on the last bench.
Oh-oh he is going to Wake him up, I thought internally. "Hey you, black shirt at the back", roared professor throwing a piece of chalk at him.
I winced at the sound and looked back. The handsome guy woke up and looked around wondering why all the attention was on him.
"Hey you, get up. What are you doing in the class. I have observed you taking rest in one of my previous classes as well. I left you that day considering it was the first class. But now it seems more of a habit and carelessness. Take out your notes and note down all the problems from the board", the professor ordered him with an angry tone.
He simply stood there and did not utter a single word. Atleast he would have apologized and said okay sir I will do that. But no he didn't. May be the professor was expecting the same thing that I was thinking because within few seconds his voice boomed across the auditorium.
"Hey, what's your name? I just thought you were Careless but now when I see your behavior I think you are mannerless as well", commented professor looking at his indifferent behavior.
"Akshath Arjun Singhania is my name. I know what you are teaching so I do not want to listen to the class", he replied with a very calm tone.
I did not know why his name was imprinted in my mind and I had goosebumps on my hands when I heard his voice.
"Oh is it. Then come here and solve this problem. Once you solve this I will believe you and let you rest for today", replied professor mocking him.
He started descending the steps and went towards the board to solve the newly written problem on the board.
"What do you think? Will he be able to solve it", Sam asked me. Tara also looked at me waiting for an answer.
The thing is I am very good at maths as it has been my favorite subject since childhood. My grandma was a math professor which in turn helped me and made me interested in the subject. I can calculate numbers within few sec and i would solve complex problems very easily. Due to me being very sharp since childhood, I joined kindergarten pretty early. Hence making me a year younger compared to my friends.
I looked at the board and see him solving the problem with great ease and correct steps. "He will solve it, he is almost done. He is taking a difficult approach to solve the problem without many steps", I replied to my friends who were waiting for my answer.
"Oh my god, this lazy fellow really turned out to be a genius", said Tara looking at the board.
My eyes scanned the whole problem on the board and I smiled in satisfaction. He really is lazy as he solved an eighteen step math problem in just 6 steps. He has written the answer and handed the chalk to the professor.
The professor was astonished about his complex and quick approach. He looked at Akshath as he was casually headed back to his place. He sat down and rested his face on the desk and started drifting to sleep peacefully.
Everyone in the class are staring at him with wide eyes and open mouths. The only members that doesn't seem to be surprised was Pranay and the other two guys beside him.
Professor asked the class to focus on the board and started teaching the problem solved by Akshath.
After the class, it was lunch time and we headed towards the cafeteria. We had our lunch and I headed towards chemistry lab. I met Pranay on my way. I want to ask him about his friendship with Akshath but at the same time I do not want to be nosy. Hence, I dropped the idea of asking him.
We are half way into our first experiment when I heard a voice beside me. I looked up and saw a guy from our class.
"Hey, I am Rahul. I am in the same class as you", he introduced himself. "Hello, I am Sanjana", I muttered lowly as am not sure how to react.
"Sanjana, I want your record. Can I take it. I will give it back in few min", he asked me politely. I nodded and forwarded my record to him and started to focus on the experiment.
After few minutes, Rahul came back and handed over my record. "Hey I see that you have written your number at the last page of the record? Is it for me?", he questioned. I was shocked as I do not recall writing any number there. I turned the book to last page with racing heart. But I did not find anything. "There is nothing of such sort", I looked at him confused. "Do you wanna fill it up with your number then?", he gazed at me with the hint of playful tone.
As the bulb in my brain went off I came to know that he just used a pick up line and flirted with me. I wanted to laugh so bad but I suppressed it and it come out as a burst of giggles. This was a very unique way of flirting that I have ever experienced and I found it quiet funny.
"Sorry Rahul. I don't have a mobile phone," I lied to him as Tara's words crossed my mind." Who doesn't have a mobile phone in this era?", he asked. "Me", I simply stated. The bell rung indicating the end of lab. I packed my things and headed to our dorm.
After heading towards dorm, I got fresh up and did my laundry. It has been a while since I have taken my art supplies out. I took every thing out and set it up at one end of the room. I got a text from my friends in our group chat that Tara and Sam are out to purchase few of their subject books as they did not find them in the library. Piggy said that she has an assignment which she has to complete with her partner. So she stayed back at the library. I replied with okay and started working on my painting.
After few hours, as I was immersed into the painting, Sam, Tara and Piggy came back. They saw my painting and gushed about how amazing it looks. After few satisfied touches, I left it there to dry out.

We started talking to our family members and have completed our college works. I have explained math problems to Tara and Sam.
Once it was dinner time, we left and had our dinner and came back to our dorm. I changed into PJ set and slept peacefully.
