So many Coincidences

The rest of the day goes by, with the teacher and student's introduction session. The students began speaking about their earlier school and Background details.

After all of them finished with their intro the relieving bell rings, notifying the end of the period. The lecture ends for the day. All the students walk out of the class happily because the day has finally ended. Amiliya starts packing her bag and prepares to leave from the classroom.

"Finally, the day is over, now I can go home and relax for the day ", Amiliya is thinking in her mind. She hates interacting with anyone, as she likes to speak very less to zero if it's that necessary. If the situation demands she doesn't shy away at all. Some of her acquaintances knows about it. So, they give her some space if she wants to remain quiet for some time.

Suddenly she feels like, as if someone is looking at her from the door side area. She starts lifting her head up, from packing her bag.

"She saw someone going from that end of the other adjacent class. Was it Julian looking at me? I just got a glimpse of that person, but I Think it was Julian. Was it really him looking at me? Amiliya stops in her tracks and thinks for few seconds. Hmm, never mind, I will go to meet Emma now, the semester has just started for the year, and I am already missing her so much, at least when she was in my class, I was hardly bored".

Chuckling at her own thoughts, she eagerly waits for Emma to come outside her class.

"O! Emma I am starting to miss you already it's just too boring when you are not in my class to distract and annoy me", and then Amiliya hugs her.

Only sometimes does she express her thoughts. Since it was Emma and she knows her for years, she is somewhat open to her in her own way. That's the most beautiful thing about their friendship, they understand each other almost very well now, sometimes they utter the same word or sentences to the situation in front. They almost have the same thought process.

I missed you too, classes are really boring without you. We should be in one class at least next year. Did you already made any friends in your class? asks Emma hoping here she, might have really started making an exception.

No, I was too busy with all the concentrating since it was a theory lecture and all that stuff. I will try to make some from friends tomorrow I guess, says Amiliya.

But guess what! Julian is in my class. How could that be? Is he stalking me or something? We were in the same class when we were kids, same school and after some years when I came back here to my old city and now, we are in same class in the university!! Now come on, how we can be in same university he can choose far better than this place as he has the capability, Amiliya vents out her doubts and frustration.

Chill Amiliya chill, you are just overthinking and being paranoid about it, might be a coincidence. Besides, you are an over thinker. Let the time take its course and you will know eventually if there is anything you are thinking about.

Now for God's sake let's have something I am famished, later I will drop you home so let's just go says Emma.

Okay fine I will think about it later anyways. We will go and have something now; I Know a good place to eat here.

They have a burger and fries from the store then Emma drops her home.

She reaches the front door and sees the front lights are on.

Mom, I am back home. You came back early today?

Yes, there was not much work today. Go and wash up now, I will set you dinner.

Okay mom.

Her sister Cassandra is watching television and her dad is resting at a chair.

"Dad, today was my first day in college, Emma had picked up and dropped me home, as it was my first day in the college", Amiliya talks with her dad.

Nice, is what her dad said.

Her relationship with her dad was not that nice a long time now. He used to get angry on trivial things. In the past he used to beat her up badly if she does anything wrong, even if it was a trivial reason, or for that matter even if it was not her fault. But when she grew up, he still does get too much angry but now he rarely beats her up. Although she had suffered a lot now, she had come term with the fact, and have tried to forgive him.

She sits with Cassy for few minutes, asks her about her day, they discuss about their favorite show and later go upstairs.

She just crashes in bed without bothering to wash up. Just plainly sitting and being in her own little world. After some time, she gets up changes her clothes, fresh up and arranges her room. Taking out the trash and keeps it outside her room. Amiliya comes down for dinner after mom calls her down when the dinner was ready, she has few talks with her mom and sister about what happened today in college, except for the minor details like about Julian. She washes the few utensils while stifling a yawn or two

I will go up early to bed today as I am too tired, good night mom, she said to her mom as she started climbing upstairs.

Good night honey, since it was your first day in college today, and as the academy for this term has resumed from tomorrow onwards you will need more energy, so go and rest now, tells her with motherly concern.

Yes, mom and good night. Tell Cassandra also, I will go to bed now.
