Kyra couldn't get rid of her smile that was unconsciously plastered on her face. Her hand was still feeling that tingling sensation from her grey eyed man's touch. It was really unusual for her to react like this.
This might be because of the home schooling, which she received for last 5 years. After the 'incident' , it was hard for her to get out and make friends again. So, all the friends she had, just left her and she lost all of them. It was because last year she realized it was time for her to get out now; without her Dad's and her brothers; Kaiden and Keith's protection.
Maybe she felt this way because of the lack of social touch for 5 years. Yup, it's exactly that, Kyra decided.
As the class was progressing, Mr. Till was telling them all about stars, constellations, comets and many other things related.
Kyra was always interested in stars and comets and universe. Since little, her Dad bought her a telescope for her eighth birthday, when he noticed his daughter's interest to know so much about stars.
So, when she saw the subject Astronomy on her subject options, she immediately choose it. She was excited to learn more about them. But as Mr. Till was speaking about them, her distracting mind, yet again wandered off to a certain someone who she just met.
Why was she still thinking about some stranger, who's name she didn't know?
Why would her still be thinking about him?
Kyra sighed and shook her head. No, this might be the last time she even met him. This University was really big and large. Also, it has over 28,000 students body. The chances to meet him again will be from minimum to zero. So why wasting time thinking about him. Anyways, she needs to concentrate on her new life.
The class progressed and at the end of the class, Mr. Till clapped his hands to gain everybody's attention. "Everyone, tomorrow you all will be given your first Astronomy project assignment which you'll have to do with your partners."
"I know there are many freshmans in this class too. So, I've decided that every freshman needs to pair up with the other students of this class. You have to choose your partners by tomorrow where I'll be passing out your project sheets. This will not be due till the end of the month."
"So, you all have to submit your assignments till the end of the month. Now, class dismissed." He ended his speech and went out of the class. After he left, the students went into chaos. They didn't know how this gonna work since we're freshmans and the students who are in sophomore or junior years are more experienced in this.
Instead of thinking how to get partnered up, Kyra packed up her books and pens and left.
After the Geometry class, Kyra headed towards the next class; Modern Literature. This time, instead of depending on her non-existent map reading skills, she actually asked a few students for the direction. But this process took few more minutes of her time which in result was making her a little late. She rushed through the crowds of students and finally reached in front of the class. But as she was to enter, she got knocked back and fell on the floor with a thud. With the shock of falling, it felt like all the air just left her lungs.
"Ow! ow! ow!"
Kyra swept her eyes in front of her, clutching on to her waist and her face scrunched up, twisted in pain. She saw the person with whom her body slammed. It was a petite girl, her burgundy hair all over the place due to body slamming and fall.
The girl looked at Kyra and her eyes widened. "OMG! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...but I was getting late for class." The girl swifly got up offered her hand. Kyra stared at the hand for a few moment before holding it and got up from the floor.
"It's ok. It was my fault too." Kyra offered a friendly smile to the girl and her face brightened.
"I'm Danna." The girl offered her hand for shake with a big smile on her face. Kyra shook her hands with Danna and smiled, "I'm Kyra."
"So...are you freshman?" Danna asked as soon as introductions were over. Both of started for the class and sat beside each other. "Yeah, I'm and you?"
"Of course I'm. You know it's my first day and I almost got lost in this big University. But thank God I had the map with me or I don't know where I would've been by now." Danna laughed. But hearing this Kyra flushed, her face going red. How is she supposed to tell that she also got lost, but in a more pathetic way? So, instead of saying anything, she just nodded her head with a small awkward smile on her face. Soon, she was saved by the professor starting the class.
All during the class, she got to know that Danna was from New Oregon. And she was here pursue her degree in business and management. Also, that she absolutely loved creamy cheese pizza but always got confused with whether to eat lava cake or lava cookie.
By the end of the class, Kyra was almost toppled over with laughter. She realized, she missed so much during this 5 years period. And it had been the best decision to get her life together again. That maybe at the price of leaving her family, but it was worth it. The social touch she needed was right here. And she just made a new friend in this stranger of a country.
"So, let's go to the cafeteria together." Danna said when the class ended. Kyra simply nodded while packing her bag.
Both girls got out of the class and reached cafeteria together. There Kyra met two more friends of Danna; Aliana and Greg. Greg was Danna's childhood friend following all through the college and Aliana was with her in her business class. Kyra realized, she and Greg shared art and sociology class together.
The warm feeling of belongingness spread through Kyra's body. If someone had told her that she would be making friends again 5 years ago, she would've laughed and slammed the door on their nose. But now, she felt good.
But somewhere around world, there was someone who was dead set to get to Kyra. They didn't want the happiness she was living. Trying to find her for last 5 years. The search for her was on and they would stop to none.
None.
