Their second class of the day was over, and now they were free till their next lecture. They went to the notice board to see notices if any.
"Oh look!, there is the invite for Fresher's tonight", Amanda pointed in the direction of the poster.
"but the timing is 7:00 pm onwards"
"Yeah, maybe they preponed the party"
"Look, there are different events which will be happening there", Naomi looking at the poster feeling those quite interesting.
"There will be modeling and many more interesting events",
The poster for the party went like this,

We hope you enjoy well.
Note: Give your names to us before 6:00 PM today for Modelling and other performances to Quill or call 997482**** and yes, Mr. and Miss. Freshers will be also be chosen on the basis of the modeling contests.
"This sounds interesting, lets put our names in the modeling contest," said Amanda.
"I am not taking part in any of the contests"
"What!Whoa!Whah!,but Why?, Are you silly?, you are losing the chance of becoming Miss. Freshers, Are you Kidding Me?"
"I was not even coming to the Freshers, but I am still attending it for you, but now you can't make me do that as well, no more discussion on this now"
"Ok OK, I will just give my name in the contest," said Amanda without doing any further arguments.
"Yeah, let's do that first and then we will go for lunch, I am feeling really hungry"
At the Mess-
"our next lecture is at 2:00 which is a lab, then we have a lecture at 3:00", said Amanda eating her food.
"So, we have 3 subjects this year each having theory as well as practicals"
"The food is really tasty, like homely food" Amanda changing the topic.
Suddenly Naomi remembered her conversation with her Dad, wherein he was saying jokingly, "their food will not be that bad though". That thought brought a smile on Naomi's face.
Naomi ate her lunch with full satisfaction as she was really hungry. They finished and it was still half an hour left for the next class, so they thought of walking in one of the lawns of their college.
Their college was in the mountains which made the breeze refreshing and clear. Through the park, walking slowly in the breeze, they reached in the anatomy department for attending the lab. It was their anatomy lab.
They entered the lab, some of the students were already there. They sat on the stools present in the lab. Naomi saw the guy whom she had seen today in the morning, he was also there. Does he talk to anybody? hasn't he made any friends yet? she thought to herself. The other students also came as it was time for the lab to commence.
The professor came, he introduced himself to the students and gave an overview of the course.
"You will work in teams in this lab and on the basis of your work, you will be awarded grades", said the professor.
Naomi and Amanda looked towards each other to work as a team.
"A team of two", roaming in the front, near his chair, with his hands at the back. "I will choose which two students will be paired". There was a wave of astonishment in the class. They all said at once in a chorus, "hooooooooo". "Yes, otherwise you will team up with your friend, which will not be that much benefitting for you, so how we team you up".
After looking at the class for response he said, "I see you are 20 in this class, so there will be 10 groups, now on what basis should we choose the group". "So, I have an idea", he continued to say, "here I have a sheet on which there are 10 MCQ type questions, you have to answer these and on the basis of your performance you will be teamed up", "the questions will check your basic knowledge which you have gained till now and some general personality-related questions" and started distributing the sheets to students. " Here you go, you get 20 minutes to do these questions and you can start now".
Students started to read the questions. All of them dug in their papers.
The professor continued to roam about, observing every student keenly.
"Ok, your twenty minutes have passed, hand it over to me, I hope you get enough of the time and don't forget to mention your name". He took the paper from the students and went to his desk and sat down on his chair.
"The results will be out tomorrow at 9:00, you can check the notice board for that, next time be seated as per your teams.", " And now let's just start with a short intro of everybody, tell your name, your native place, your hobbies and any other addition you like to tell"
That was a fun part to listen about their hobbies, some had no hobbies at all, some had hobbies like watching Netflix, mimicry, etc. The Introduction was over.
"Ok, the selection will be difficult as all of you must be having great marks, that's why you got to study here, but you will get the results tomorrow and get your Lab coats from the stationary as soon as possible, as after that you will not be allowed in any class", "Bye the way, your today's attendance will be marked using the tests itself","thanks, the class is Dismissed now" and went out of the class taking the papers along.
" Will we in the same team?, I hope so", said Amanda.
"Yeah, we can only hope, Don't know who will be our lab partner, our whole marks depend on it"
"Yes, you are right"
They went for their next lecture. It was a Theory lecture of Bio-chemistry. The lecture went normally as all lectures were. Naomi found that subject interesting as she always was good at chemistry and chemical compounds.
The lecture was over along with the classes for the day. They went to their room and got a sigh of relief, they relaxed lying on their beds.
"When you are thinking of getting ready?" said Amanda whose full concentration was on today's party.
"There is still a lot of time, you are getting restless from now only"
"Yes, I am waiting for the party and hoping the time flies soon", "and I am getting more restless as I want to be miss Fresher and you are not my competitor for that so my hopes have gone higher"
"Oh really, you think if I would have taken part I would have win"
"Yes, and that's true"
"Bullshit!" Naomi said waving her hand in the air, "By the way, best of luck, I know you will win"
"Thanks, I am feeling more motivated now"
They started to get ready for the party, Naomi was thinking about the dream she saw in the morning which went to be completely true. It can't be a coincidence she thought to herself. The things which happened in her dream were like a pre trailer to the real. She wanted to know more regarding this, she wanted to find the truth behind it but how, how could she do that. To whom she could ask, where she could go, she was unable to decipher the mystery herself. So many strange things were happening to her after coming to the this college, but she was new here, she didn't know whom to be asked for help.
