Her aura was enchanting and alluring, with the added beauty reflected in the mirror. "You look beautiful as always, my dear!" she heard the voice, and the person's silhouette reflecting in the mirror made her panic.
Her beautiful radiating face was horror-stricken when she saw her friend standing at the back of her with her hair down and reddened eyes with a vast dark circle. The look was more like the ghost which was seen in the movies.
It took a while for Armelle to recognize her, but soon she burst into laughter after figuring out her friend's ghostly face.
Krith's eyes were close to a real panda, with those dark circles added more cuteness to her messy hair, making Armelle laugh aloud.
"What made you wide awake, my panda? No, no, my ghost panda? Perhaps, did you both end up fighting till midnight. I have waited to share some important event which happened yesterday, but you missed hearing it. Poor you!?" She spoke calmly, adding more fuel to the already burning flame.
Krith's face was gloomy when she saw her friend making fun of her sleeplessness; without being aware of the thing that made her wide awake. Ignoring those bullying words from the heartless sloth, she got up to get ready herself. They both left to the canteen to have breakfast with Drey and Reay and discuss their work progress.
"I'm over!!! God will you spare me for today from Drey?? Nope, not a chance." she was mentally hit looking at her face in the mirror.
However, Krith prepared her mind to face the worst from Drey, consoling her poor soul by herself.
Drey and Reay were already seated in the cafeteria when the girls entered and the girls took the seat opposite the boys.
The boys panicked seeing Krith; which soon turned into a burst of laughter. However, Reay managed to keep his laughter. Meanwhile, Drey filled the entire place with his roar of laughter, making others turn back to look at them dramatically.
An awkward silence prevailed for quite a while after noticing the deadliest aura from Krith. Nevertheless, Drey will never have enough of teasing her.
"Did you feel guilty for arguing with me??"
"Never," Krith replied in anger as she heaped up a spoon full of porridge to feed herself.
"Did you both fight??" This time Reay spoke, noticing the unusual distance between Krith and Armelle.
"Nope," the voice came in chorus making the boys look at each other.
"Don't lie… Don't lie… I knew you felt guilty, for fighting! right???" Drey mocked again.
"Never in your dreams," she said, glaring at his eyes with the most dangerous gaze.
"Then why didn't you sleep?" they asked in chorus again.
"Haa… It is all because of this sloth sitting over here!!" She spoke irritatedly.
"Me???" Armelle pouted in surprise. Meanwhile, Drey and Reay directed their gaze over Armelle as like Enquiring her.
However, Armelle shrugged her shoulders, indicating she knew nothing about it.
Though it was all because of her friend, she never wants others to know her friend's weaknesses. 'Such a genuine friend' Despite all mocking, she giggled at her thoughts as she had a plan up her sleeves to irritate her friend with the recorded video last night. Soon everyone moved to the seminar hall where the lecture meeting was held.
Armelle was crazy since morning, eagerly waiting to attend the lecture of Dr. Han in person as she had only witnessed Dr. Han's lectures through the recorded videos.
"The cause for the Pandemic outbreak" is the theme Professor Han selected to address for the seminar held that day.
Many other professors followed him with a theme coinciding with the current scientific trends.
The seminar was fascinating at the same time, capturing the thoughts of our crew present there. No doubt, Armelle's mouth was hung open, not minding the number of flies entered, as the words of Prof. Han dazed her. The seminar theme was fascinating, but they were hapless to continue listening to the lecture since they lacked much of their time to complete their project with their due time around Prof. Han.
They were pretty confused about finding their way back to Prof. Han's cabin when they left the seminar hall. As they were new to the place, they couldn't easily find the routes to the venues. Predicting their confusion, Dr. Han sent one of his students to help them and guide them inside the university.
As soon as Prof. Han was done with his seminar, the person he appointed to guide them approached them from a distance. He was a tall man with toned and well-built muscle marking his elite structure under the lite summer clothing. His looks were appealing, in a drool-worthy way.
Armelle stared over the man without a blink of her eye, smitten by the look of the man who stood before her. Her eyes sparkled; it was a dreamy image that was so vivid in her eyes. The man who motioned towards her was surrounded by the clouds wearing beige-colored clothing with an emerald-colored heavy royale robe that hugged over his body, making him look more majestic. His amber-colored eyes filled with dignity. His lips carried a piece of a lovely smile as he approached her.
'What am I seeing now? Do I know him before? What made him smile at me such gracefully?' she spoke to herself, baffled as she observed him closely. This attitude of Armelle was so new to her friends that they were so startled.
Krith was left agape, watching her friend drool over a man for the first time. Krith was alarmed as she saw the man near them, so close, she elbowed Armelle to regain her sense.
Armelle was back in her right mind and realized that she was caught up with a strange feeling until krith signaled her by whispering in Armelle's ears, "Babe, wipe your lips!"
Armelle: "??"
"Look at you, when did you acquire this habit of drooling over a man??" She murmured again in her eyes.
"Me?? Drooling?? For a man??" Armelle uttered deranged, dramatically wiping her mouth when Krith made the action again, smirking.
With that, the man approached him.
"I'm Zyaire Malik, Dr. Han asked me to guide you all to his cabin." The man introduced himself and requested them to follow him to the professor's cabin.
