Infamous

Rian already missed his 3rd class and the 4th one was already in progress. The majority of his class was in V-block which was of Computer Science Engineering. Because it was his first year they were gonna teach him all sorts of engineering courses and from the second year his chosen subjects were taught. This was the rule in all the engineering universities in India. Though Melford University was the only exception in many other things they followed this general rule.

Rian walked into V-block and started ascending the flight of stairs. Like all the other blocks V-block also had 5 floors. But it was one of the buildings which was newly built, so it gave a majestic look to everything. There were 40 classrooms on each floor, the first floor only had computer labs. His class was in room 316. There was not a single student outside and the voice of the professor's teaching could be heard as he passed several doors. There were cameras everywhere and one map of the block was attached to every floor.

Rian reached room 316 and double-checked whether it was his room or not. The period was of mechanical engineering and he could hear through the closed door that the professor was shouting about something. Rian knocked on the door twice.

Immediately the shouting stopped. A middle-aged short man opened the door and looked up at Rian.

"What do you want?" He snapped.

"Good Afternoon sir, I am in this class."

The man scrunched up his nose and moved aside motioning him to come in. Rian slowly came in and the entire class looked at him and started murmuring. Rian tried to look for any familiar face but no one looked familiar. The classroom was auditorium-type with desks and chairs on each step. There were 5 steps on each five rows with one long desk at each column and a total of 3 columns. All the back benches and the middle benches were occupied. Even most of the first benches were occupied with only 3 seats left. The two seats were in the middle and Rian ignored those two and started moving towards the third seat the rightmost corner.

"Ahhh! So you must be the infamous Mr. Rian Wadiyar!" The short man called out and Rian stopped midway and turned to look at him. The professor was smiling and shaking his head with disdain. "You are the only one student in all the first-years who has missed a whole week of classes. You are pretty famous among teachers. I am sooo glad that you finally decided to show up! Everyone please a round of applause for him! Color us with your enlightening words Mr. Rian Wadiyar."

The entire class erupted in laughter and started cheering and clapping. Some even whistled and the commotion got so loud that the professor was not audible anymore.

He banged the water bottle on the desk hard and the laughter died down.

"Tell me why did you even bothered coming to classes? You already missed a week and it certainly tells us that you have no intention of studying even after you know that attendance is so important here. You do know that you won't be allowed to give an examination if you have less than 75% of attendance? Do you think skipping classes will make your parents proud?!"

As the professor ranted his frustrations out on Rian, he kept nodding and apologizing. After another 5 minutes, the professor let him sit down and continued his class. Rian who was sitting in the corner looked at the girl who was staring at him with a pitiful expression and a smile. And her copy was scribbled with notes. He gave her a smile back and turned his gaze back to the professor.

After the class ended many students rushed out with maximum of them laughing at Rian and telling him to chill. As Rian got up he saw three guys moving towards him.

"Man that was brutal!" One of them said and laughed. Rian remembered his name from the attendance call, he was named Aaryan.

"Yeah but don't feel bad ya know! He is very uptight."

"Looks like he doesn't get sex from his wife. Hahahahahahaaha"

They all started laughing and Rian joined them.

"I am Neeraj. And if you need some numbers of girls to ..... you know..... then you can call me. I was also thinking of giving one to the prof but he was in bad mood hahahahahaha"

"I am Aaryan"

"Arjun"

Rian smiled and shook their hands.

"Well, so it's still 10 mins before so we are going to get something to drink. See you later in class. Bye," Aaryan led the two of them away before Rian could say anything.

Rian sighed and moved out of the class. He looked back and saw the girl who sat next to him scribbling something in her notebook.

"Hey, Isha." He called out.

Isha looked up at Rian, startled. She was not expecting Rian to call out to her.

"Yeah?"

"I left my phone in the dorms, can you show me where's the next class?"

"Ohh, umm... Can you give me 2 mins? I was waiting for my friend. We will go as soon as she comes."

"Okay"

Isha closed her copy and put it back in her bag and got up. She walked to Rian and spoke, "So why did you miss a week's class? You know the sir was right when he said that you were the only one to miss a week's class and that too as soon as the college started."

"Yeah, Actually I just reached the college this morning. Some unexpected work came and I had to deal with it so I was a week late."

"Ohhh" She nodded looking at Rian, who was looking towards the sky.

Rian noticed two girls walking their way. Isha also noticed and smiled, "She is here."

"Brooo the class was soo fucking boring, I missed you soo much Isha! Should have never taken Computer Science. Who knew they will teach chemistry in computer science engineering!"

"I missed you too Samira" Isha laughed and hugged her back. Samira was a petite girl with short hair that only reached her shoulder.

Samira looked back at the other girl, "She's Siya, she was so lost so I took her with me"

"Hello." Siya smiled and waved at the three of them.

Rian smiled and waved back. He noticed Samira looking at him, "I am Rian."

"You are tall." She said looking at his 6 foot 6 inches frame. She then turned to Isha, "Do you like him?"

"Shut up! Hahah please don't mind my friend." Isha smiled at Rian and turned to glare at Samira.

"Nah it's alright." Rian smiled.

Since they all had the same class they started walking together.
