Amanda and Naomi went to the lecture hall to attend today's class. It was a physiology lecture, the same class where the projector accident occurred. Dr. Brown came and looked around. Then he came to his desk and stood there and conveyed the lecture to the students. Then he told students to read what has been done as some urgent work has come where he needs to go. The Professor then went out of the room. Naomi looked at her hand, she was wearing that ring which the Master has given her. SHe thought of who could be her partner. She touched Amanda but the ring didn't glow.
"What, have you called me!"
"Nothing"
"Hey, a new ring"
"Yeah I saw it in my cupboard, so I thought of wearing it", she made a story to tell.
"But, it looks quite old like an antique"
"It's from one of my ancestors"
"That's cool"
"let's go the lecture is over"
They stood up and others as well to get out.
"Oh, the teams for lab would have been displayed on the notice board, let's check it", Naomi remembered suddenly while walking out of the room.
"Yeah let's go"
All of them went to the notice board to see the list, that mysterious guy was also there.
The notice had crowd around it, Naomi made her way through, many were behind her to see the list.
She looked for her partner's name and she read, "Caleb Taylor" and looked for Amanda to ask if she looks for her partner's name. "Amanda, I am looking for your partner name as well, where are you?"
"Yeah, Ok look it for me"
"Ryan Flynn, it says", and Naomi barges out of the crowd.
'And who is Caleb Taylor now', "Caleb! is Caleb Taylor here?"
"Yes", said a deep voice coming from her behind from the other side of her notice board.
She looked around, the mysterious guy was standing there.
"Oh so you are caleb"
"Yes, and you are Naomi"
"Yeah but how do you know, you didn't look at the notice board"
"I did, I was the first one to look, now you can't see everything happening around you"
"Yeah but I just asked as you were coming from that direction"
"I just saw the board and went to look out for you"
"Who is Ryan, any Idea", Amanda looked towards Naomi.
"Yeah he is the guy who got ragged tomorrow", said Caleb.
Listening to word Rag everyone looked towards him.
"He must be here only, he attended the class as well, oh there he is, he pointed towards a farther distance from the board" continued Caleb.
He gestured towards him to come but he didn't see. "Hey Ryan come over here"
"We have to go to the Anti-ragging cell now," said Naomi.
"I will also come," said Amanda.
Ryan reached there, nearer to them.
"No need for so many people to go for one case, rather I and Ryan will only go," said Caleb
"I think I should also come as I am also related to this case"
"Ok, but just complaint is sufficient"
They started for Anti-ragging cell, "Hey I heard about the incident, that was really wrong" said Amanda.
"Hey, how many people know about that"
"Relax Ryan, all of them will know sometime later and it is important for all to know that such incidents are going on," said Naomi.
"I don't know what's going to happen, what those seniors will do after knowing about it", Ryan feeling a little tensed.
"Hey, we all are with you so don't worry", Caleb giving little strength to him.
"Hey Ryan, by the way, have you checked the notice board for teams of Anatomy lab"
"Yes, I am partnered with some girl, her name was, umm Amanda"
"Right and that's me"
"Oh! Hi, Amanda, I know you must be intelligent that's why you are partnered with me", unclear what to say
"Huh!!"
"Errr, Nothing, great to meet you"
"Yeah, me too", said Amanda agitated.
Others laughed at them.
" So much happened but we didn't ask names of each other till now", Naomi said to others.
They reached the cell and told the story to the reporting person.
"Oh such students are in the college who rag like this and make them fear from going to the heads, So, good that you came to report against them"
The complaint was registered against them.
"What are their names?"
"We don't know but they are in the last year"
"Then you have to identify them by their faces but we want to keep your identities secret, Ok do one thing, we have their information with us on the system, you just identify using their photos"
This process went on and they identified them for the complaint.
"So the victim is Ryan and you all are suspects and they tried to burn the arm of Ryan just for fun on the fresher's nite that is the first day of your college"
"They also had tried to harm other boys in the hostel, they even came to me and said that ragging a crucial part which happens with every newcomer," said Caleb
"Ok, you may go now and we will contact you if required and strict action will be taken against them as soon as possible"
They went out and went for their next lecture.
Amanda and Naomi sat together and waited for the faculty to come.
"The team making decision was awful as Ryan is awful"
"So is Caleb"
"I don't know what our grades will be"
"Maybe work wise they be good, but behavior and teamwork is definitely going to suffer"
"Yeah, tolerating them for a whole lecture is lethargic"
The professor came and the lecture started, the whole day went like, all the lectures happened but the anatomy lab wasn't today, it is tomorrow.
The day ended, Naomi thought she was unable to find the partner which master had told her to find.
'Today, I didn't get much time but I have to find that person as soon as possible'
At the premises-
"Hey new-comer, so you complained against us after warning by us as well" said John, the first senior who rag Ryan.
"He is not what he looks like, so you got the courage to complain against us"
Ryan did something with his mobile behind his back, he clicked number 2 for long.
"I have complained because you people are pathetic and you need to be reported"
"Oh really, you think you can do wrong to us"
Caleb reached there, Ryan made a sigh of relief.
The seniors after looking at him got a little distressed.
"What's the problem" said Caleb
"You will be in problem"
"That you yourself will see soon"
"You think that's a proper proof, we can nullify that proof as there is no proper footage with you which justifies it"
Ryan looked at Caleb to say what we will do now.
