Chapter 1
Tuesday, September 13, 2012. 10:00 am
Convocation Hall, U of T
Sitting in the third floor balcony seats, a girl found herself looking down towards the huge screen at the front. The technician set up the speakers and the started up the power point presentation as the students moved around looking for their seats.
Today was the first day of lectures and she had made sure they got here early enough to find a proper seat but she never was a fan of crowds thus she choose to find herself a seat on the top most floor where she assumed not many people would go if given a choice. But considering as it was the first day of lectures, everyone showed up to attend the lecture and so every seat was pretty much taken.
Just as the time ticked closer to 10:10 am the previously empty seats were filled with students and from where she sat, they all looks like ants sitting in their respective seats facing the blue screen at the front.
BOY: Excuse me, anyone sitting there beside you?
GIRL: No, you can sit. She said as she moved her legs to allow the boy to move into the seat next to her.
She watched as he settled down and started rummaging through his bag for his note pad and pen.
BOY: Hey, I am Arnav. He said.
GIRL: I am Khushi. Just as she said that the professor started talking and she turned her attention back to the front.
Arnav sat there twiddling his thumbs as he impatiently listening to the prof. You see he was never what people would call a "good student" he didn't even like school or studying for that matter. But there was one thing he hated even more and that was the future his father had planned for him. His father was the great Indian businessman and the owner of AR industries Arvin Singh Raizada, which was what Arnav would inherit after he finished his education. But Arnav had other plans for himself, he knew exactly what he did not want and that was to become the owner of AR industries. If he could help it, he would NEVER become the owner of that place.
With that thought in mind he enrolled himself in Life Sciences at U of T. Half way across the World, as far as he could get from his father and business.
What would he do after he has completed his bachelors? Well, even he doesn't know. Arnav isn't the type of guy to care about anything more than today. He has and always will live his life in worrying about today.
Arnav: Do you realize if you stare at the ceiling enough, it looks like it is going to fall. He whispered to Khushi .
She looks at the ceiling then back at him before focusing her attention back on the professor, completely ignoring his remark.
Arnav: What would happen if that actually happens? The poor people sitting there on the main floor ...
This guy is seriously getting on my nerves. What the hell! I am trying to concentrate here and he cant shut up. Ever since he has sat down he had been either tapping his feet or tapping that damn pen on the notebook. Urgh! Khushi stop think about him and focus and don't look at him. Just ignore him! That's it! Don't looks
Khushi , a girl who had her entire future mapped out since she was in grade 5. A doctor; that what she wanted to be since she was a toddler. She would always be found playing doctor doctor with her plastic stethoscope and the small scalpel. She was perfect; the perfect student; the perfect daughter.
Arnav: hey are you listening?? He said waving his hand in front of her face.
Khushi: Shut up will you?! I am trying to listen here and I am here cause I actually care and want to learn unlike you!... Are you even listening to me??!!?! She whispered, anger evident in her every word.
Arnav wasn't, he was completely lost in her eyes, and he found himself mesmerized by those soft hazal eyes.
Khushi: Stop staring! Geez what is wrong with this guy? She said before turning back and facing the screen.
A stunned Arnav turned back to face the front, and that's how he remained for the rest of the lecture. Sure he was angry the way she had talked to him but more than that, it was her eyes that he could not forget.
As the lecture ended they both had their minds made about each other...
She is a completely arrogant NERD!
He is such an irritating FOOL!
Its been said that first impression is the last impression... But is that really true?
