My readers do not need to exercise their brains to deduce what happened next? In a nutshell I can say that we both heard a long speech, received a severe rebuking and even after 10 minutes of torture, we were marked absent in the first lecture. This seems too harsh, especially when you were late by just 2-3 minutes. But, as I came to know later, we had run into the most strict and oldest professor of the college. After this small but embarrassing episode I had begun to hate the college even more.
But I was surprised at that girl's reaction. It was definitely a news for me that she was actually my classmate. But what had really been a revelation was that girl wasn't that fragile as I had thought initially. A severe reprimanding into very early days of college and that too just for coming few minutes late is not something easy to digest. Amazingly, the girl had not broken down. I had seen even the most toughest looking girls sobbing at my school when the teachers had unleashed a ferocious verbal attack on them. But this girl didn't shed a single tear that moment and even after that. I kept on giving a glance at her every now and then in 1st lecture, but she was composed all the time.
But now I had enough with that girl. I suddenly realized that someway or another, destiny was trying to push that girl towards me. I didn't know much even about the few guys I used to talk with in the class, but here I was doing personality analysis of a girl I had no interest in, with whom I had never talked and above all, I didn't know her name too (well, I wasn't really interested in knowing her name anyway). My doubt about the destiny playing a game with me were reinforced just a couple of days later.
