*flashback to 1 year ago*
"Be prepared for your semister, next month it would began at the beginning itself", Announced our chemistry teacher.
After the announcement five minutes silence took place which made our teacher questioned again.
"Are you'll prepared for it? I hope this time you'll wont let my neck down".
Some said yes, some said no and some of them just hummed.
I was puzzled because I never understand chemistry, not even a single lesson. But Yeah, I was brilliant in biology and life sciences.
"Hey Jennifer, you're too weak in chemistry... Right? that's what made you score less marks in your semister", Said James one of my friend sitting beside me.
" YEAH! that's right but that was semister I actually wanted to score good marks in my finals". I replied.
" Don't be tensed... I've a good teacher for you".
" Who?", I questioned.
" One of my senior friend is pretty good in chemistry, if you don't mind he can help you out", James answered.
" Ummm, yeah but I don't even know him. How could I take tutor from a stranger".
" He's Indian, and I guess you love Indian people, their culture and their nature". James said.
" Oh! he's Indian, yeah that's true Indian ideology fascinates me alot".
" So now I guess he isn't a stranger for you anymore". James shrugged.
" Okay, that's fine I'll meet him tomorrow after our class".
" I'll text you his address". Said James.
For a while I was numb to think about going to a strangers home, because I'm never used to it before. I've never been to any strangers home or to approach them first. I'm a bit shy and introvert girl type... I guess. But you know sometimes you have to overcome your fear.
If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Suddenly one msg popped and it was of James, between my thoughts. Yeah, he texted me the address.
I opened my wardrobe and placed a magenta pink floral off shoulder crop-top and a royal blue colour ripped jeans on my table and beside that I placed my sky blue colour sling purse and inserted with some of my stuff. I quickly changed my dress and glance to the mirror for once and applied a hot pink lipstick and a bit nude foundation. Ummm... I'm not so fond of makeup, so I just keep it simple. I stepped out of my room and went to the downstairs where my mom was quietly having a cappuccino with a bruschetta.
"Hey, honey where are you up to!", Said mom.
" Mom, I'm going to one of my seniors home to get some tutorials about chemistry".
" Ohh! That's sounds great. You've never been to any of your friends home...but today you are just stepping out for your studies that's incredible! Good Job dear, go ahead". Mom expressed her proudness.
" Okay, I think I need to leave. Bye Mom".
As far as I reached his home, I was so nervous that even in the month of December I was sweating like hell!
I pressed his door bell with my shaky fingers as I was so nervous that even my fingers were shivering. And finally he opened the door atlast after I ringed two times.
"Hi, Are you Jennifer?", He said as he saw me. As I saw him I thought that he's not like I expected, 5'6 feet height with a very unshaved beard
" Yup! you're anshuman right!", I said.
"Come have a seat", he said while letting me in. As I stepped in he asked me genuinely for water or something if I need.
"Hey, just get cozy here. I'll be right back within 5 minutes".
" Where are you heading to? If you're going to get something for me so please don't do such formalities, I'm alright and... I've just come here for my studies and nothing much". I clarified
" Okay, okay don't be so rude cause you actually don't look great with this anger". He said
" Is that so?".
" Yeah! I never thought for a while that you'll be so beautiful", he appreciated and I blushed.
We started our work. And while he was teaching me I noticed several time that he was looking me over and over with love in his eyes, maybe?
As far as we ended after some two hours, I left his house while thanking him.
As sooner as I got a cab I called James. It ringed several times but nobody picked it. At last I thought that I should wait for tomorrow's morning.
