The desktop I set-up yesterday didn't work today. Awesome! Another half day went in environment set-up 😑. Somebody surely messes with the desktops I use after I leave. Just wait until I find the culprit.
But thanks to that I got new class buddies. I left the seat beside Mubashir and moved between Sasha and Shreya. They kept gossiping the entire day! Oh God! My ears were about to bleed. Sasha does not have any sort of filters to her words. No! Don't expect I will tell you what all she is capable of talking. I don't want to defile you, yet! 😆. Shreya is kind of sweet and innocent. She listened to everything Sasha said and always reverted with a shy smile. I feel like I was put between both of them for bringing about balance. Its all about a bit of salt right, that brings the ingredients together into a gourmet dish 😋. Yes, you guessed it correct, I am comparing myself to salt now.
Insane? I know I am.
But you know what? I kind of enjoyed sitting with them. Sasha told me, she graduated from same college as me and she has known me from back then. But I don't remember seeing her ever and how could I have possibly known her? So many years have passed while transitioning through primary school, intermediate, high school, graduation, I was so indulged in the mad race to grab the ladder and keep climbing up and up until I secured the top position that I actually forgot to live in the moment. I never stopped to take a breath and look at the people around me. It would have been beautiful back then too, right? to have such people around as much as it is now. I regret surely, but its never too late to make amends.
I am going to make the upcoming years worthwhile with these two wonderful girls and with all those wonderful people out there I can't wait to meet and befriend. —Mark my words😎
Wait! I forgot one thing...
I lied to Sasha, that too on the very first day and here I am talking of making amends. Not that I wanted to lie rather I had to lie. Sasha asked me about my boarding details. She already has a place she is living in, but she said she would like it if she could stay with me, you know like sharing a room. She would love living with Shreya as well, but she lived with her parents. Now I was the best option according to her for a roommate.
She is like too much friendly. Now it's not like I hate it or something, but I am not used to it. I don't like sharing my personal space with anyone. How do I tell her that? Won't she think I am anti-social or something? She suggested either I move in with her or she with me and I had to lie 😔. I told her that I have a contract of 1 year for the single room I have rented, and it says no sharing. Extremely unbelievable shitty lie right? You definitely come up with such nonsense when you have never lied to a friend before. Friend! Ha! Who am I kidding? I am surely going in the direction opposite to making one.
Sasha being the jolly one dismissed the topic in thin air as easily as she had brought up. I was conscious of her the entire evening, I kept looking at her face wherever she went. I kept searching for cracks, for loopholes that might give away even the tiniest hint that she had read through my lies, that she had misread between the lines thinking I didn't want her as my friend. But I found nothing. Sasha was being so... Sasha maybe.
We have started a group chat with three of us. Shreya created it in the evening. So, I guess both of them still believe in what I told. We are friends till now and I hope we continue being so tomorrow as well. Fingers crossed!! I promise I will make it up to Sasha some other way for this lie. I feel extremely embarrassed though😔.
