Chapter 5 - CHELSI AND HER FIRST DAY IN COLLEGE

It was a long flight, and after a long flight she checked out from airport and she started looking for a cab. She waited for approximately 30 min and after 30 min she got a cab. She took a cab and she directly went to her college, within 40 min she stood in front of her college, she was looking at her college with a moment of proud. She entered her college, and she directly went to the reception area. She enquired about her classes and her hostel. The receptionist, handed over the key of her hostel room, her id card and her uniform. She went up to her room and she opened the door. Once she opened her door, she saw a girl who was unpacking her stuff. Chelsi entered the room and she put her luggage near her bed and she said "hello" to her roommate, which was her classmate too. By looking at her roommate or classmate, she could make out that she was quiet introvert. Chelsi asked her name too but she didn't reply, initially she thought that she ignored but slowly and gradually she realized that she is a quiet student and an introvert too. After meeting her Roommate she went to the canteen to grab something, she saw a girl who was sitting on a chair, eating alone, by looking at her Chelsi thought this is the best opportunity to make friends. She went up to her seat and she said "hello my name is Chelsi and yours?" no reply came from the other end, she again try conversing with her by saying "I am a new student here so I don't know much about the campus, would you like to come with me for a tour of campus?" This time she just nodded her head. By getting this sign, Chelsi became confident and positive as she thought that her journey starts from now. After having her meal she realized that her class got started. She ran to her classroom and she greeted her professor. Her professor showed her seat, as all others were seated according to their roll numbers. Chelsi also settled down and then she took a notebook and a pen which her aunt gifted. It was her first class, and she was determined to concentrate and study in that university since long, therefore she promised herself that she would work hard towards her path and she will achieve her goal. After her first period got over, she went to a tour of her college. She went to the library and saw books all around. By looking at books she was very happy as she loved reading books, she believes that books are man's best friend. She sat for a while at library and after some time her classes resumed. Her classes got over at 5pm, and after the classes got over, every student got dispersed into their rooms. Chelsi also got back to her room, after returning from her classes, she changed and she sat in a relaxed position. After a while, her roommate entered the room, she was drunk and she was crying as well. Chelsi at first was shocked to look at her, but then she immediately stood up and she tried to handle her. Chelsi grabbed her and made her sit on her bed. She brought some curd and made her have that, after a while when her roommate was in her senses, she tried asking what happened? Her roommate replied "she broke with her bf yesterday that is why she came to this hostel". Chelsi was little shocked by listening to it because she never heard of these types of cases in India, as she came from a very reserved family. She tried to console her classmate first, and then a thought went through her mind that this was the reason she was not talking to Chelsi. After looking at her classmate, she was sure that by her nature she will be able to raise her life condition. Chelsi tried to calm her down. It was around 1pm, her roommate was still crying, Chelsi explained her that it was time to sleep now as it was already late, and they also have class tomorrow early in morning. Her roommate agreed to Chelsi and she slept, with her Chelsi also slept. It was 9pm in morning and they were late for class as their class starts at 9.30pm. Chelsi woke up first and got ready, then she woke up her roommate, and in a rush they both got ready and they did not had breakfast. Chelsi was feeling much better now as she saw that she got a friend in a country where she does not know even a single person. Chelsi used to spent time with her roommate the most. She used to have fun with her, she used to go shopping with her, she used to study with her and even she used to have her meals with her. Slowly and gradually they became good friends. There were tournaments in college, they both loved basketball and volleyball, so they used to take part in those games together and they used to play together. It was almost 3 years in college, and they were the bestest of friends.
