I was applauding my decision of getting friendly with Chhavi very soon. It had nothing to with her nature but her sharp mind. She was one of the toppers of her school and was a very hardworking and dedicated girl. I was surprised how come did she land in this tier 2 college but never bothered to ask her. Her intelligence was turning out to be a boon for me. Programming was like a cakewalk for her and she could handle math as well. Chhavi scored pretty well in the 1st mid semester exams too.
Though I would ask my problems and doubts to her, I would never communicate with her in college except for some very important unavoidable work. Amazingly she had followed this protocol pretty well. A couple of times I would wonder why doesn't she cringe when it is clear that I have befriended her for my own concern and have also put loads of protocols in place. Slowly I realized that she had very few friends in the college and none seemed to be very close to her. May be it was her personality or because she was a small town product; she had hardly impressed anyone other than the faculties.
I wasn't too bothered about her anyway. Even she never complained and helped me happily whenever I put my problems in front of her. I had seriously began to study just a month back and needed to put much more efforts in order to score a respectable percentage. So I would bring many doubts everyday and the train journey was spent mostly in discussions. Soon we had preparation holidays and I was stuck at home with my books for whole 15 days.
