Tiny drops of rain hit the dirty streets and the dark colonies. I watched the rain drench travellers and residents, they ran, clutching their bags tightly to themselves.

Sitting in the train, my body had almost become numb, deceased, refusing to move. Pins and needles ran through my feet, I silently sat tapping the surface underneath me in a mere hope that it will halt. My neighbour: an old ladie with dark blonde hair and deep brown eyes looked at me from the corner of her eyes in fury. She was annoyed. She huffed and looked away. On my other side sat a girl in Crimson summer dress, eating baked goods. She ate non-stop since I had settled on my seat and eyed me time to time, making me quicker in awkwardness. Wheezing due to the deep sensation of uncomfortable tingling, She looked at me and quietly asked "are u okay", a lump of bread stuck inside her as she spoke. Looking away I said "I am fine"

Suddenly, when the train reached my destination, my insides bloomed with satisfaction yet fear closely hung around my ribcage. The prickling had already stopped. "That was a long journey" I heard the old women say as she stood up and instinctly wrapped her doddering hand on my shoulder. "Oh dear, I am getting old, I guess" she said as she fully stood up and reached for her luggage from above our seat. "Sorry about the love" she said, as she weakly strode out of the train. All the while I watched her, closely. I felt bad, really bad for having judged her, she's elderly.

"Are you going to stay seated or you gong to help me, my ladie?" I heard saiba as I got up and bought the luggage down with her. They weight more than me.

The wild stench of wet dirt hit my nostrils as I took a deep breath and inhaled oxygen.This was certainly a long journey. I climbed out of train and was instantly met with spitting rain, bombarding me with drops which were crystle clear, my clothes clung to my body as though afraid of its attacks. I looked at the sky; navy blue. The scenery infront of me felt like a view before a battle, a situation before chaos and an image before drama. I don't want any drama though, I wouldn't be able to handle it. So I raised my hands to the almighty and asked for happiness. He will listened to me, I know he will. Lightning stroke the sky as the clouds groaned making a dark dominant sound. The sound felt as though more rain was on the way, I didn't want any; I hated battles.

Saiba was instantly besides me, pulling me with her "I think it's going to rain soon, we shouldn't be standing here, come on". I followed her.

"It's the first day of college and what are you still doing Shakir" Sameer said as he walked out of his room and into the main portal. "It's not that important, we don't live on campus anywhere. We don't need to be there"

"Yh, well we need to get our selves registered. So what if there aren't any classes, it's always good to make a positive impression on the newcomers" he said as he tugged Shakir from whatever it was he was up to and out of the portal.
