Huge buildings stood high in wisdom before me, the high walls and newly customer ground unearthed infront of me as I took a step closer;it was lavishing. The building was absaloutky breathtaking with Magnificent features. Every corner of the building was fanned with crystle glass, green vases filled with greenery stood at the stide, enhancing the Beaty. Post lamps stood tall, the union flag infront of the gate looked as appealing like the rest of the architecture. 

Me and Saiba walked through the front gate, there stood a man with full back uniform and wore black hiking boots. He held a gadget, perhaps a mini iPad. "Are you one of the newcomers?" He asked us. We inclined our head in response, unable to speak due to the outrageous view that stood infront of us. "Can I plz see your ID cards." He asked us before typing ways on the mini gadget. Taking our ids out, we gave it to him. "Right p, just keep this with you and scan it on the barcode machine when you get in".

"Thank you" Saiba replied. 

We roamed around the buildings. They were huge and magnificent- each and every one of them. Including the arts studio, catering department, as well as the 4g pitches fanned with artificial grass. It felt nice.  "I think we should head in now" Saiba said. 

"This is beautiful isn't it" I said in reply as we headed for the north area, the main hall where all medical students are supposed to be welcomed. "Yh, it was definitely worth the hard work". 

Entering through the main doors, a ton of people stood at every corner, filling in what were probably forms. The gust of people at each corner, chattering, laughing and mingling sent an nerves impulses a runs my whole body. I feared them for some reason. They won't eat me, right? I asked my self. what the hell? I heard back. Gosh, I wanted to run, far, far away from this. "Are you okay Tooba?" I he'd Saiba ask me. 

I looked away in response. How could I be okay? I have never lived a life out of my house. It's always been my house, my parents and the Tutors. That is it. And now suddenly, without baby steps like I had always taken I am pulled into a sea of people. What are they like? I felt my heart sink and my eyes almost glimmer with tears. Although this huge building, toppled with ravishingly features was worth all my efforts, the negative impact on my mental health will be a risk. A hand enveloped my own, pulling my out of my jumbled thoughts. "It's going to fine, I am with you. Okay?"  I looked at her, her eyes silently warmed me. I nodded in response. Let's get the grim , I think first them we'll head in" 

We walked over to a table filled with forms. "Are you the newcomers too?" I heard. Looking at up my eyes met the dark turquoise eyes. They were beautiful. Her orange, beach wave styled hair flowed down her back like springs of water on water fountain. Her words held warmth. Her pink tainted checks to her sharp nose, it all felt familiar. I knew her from somewhere. I hesitated before asking "Do I know you?". Her eyes stiffened as she looked at me from head to toe and said "I am sorry.. What?". I shouldn't have asked, but she feels utterly familiar. Her personality to her posture, triggers something. "I .. I think we've met before?"

"Umm..really?" She said, as though she too was trying to recognize me. Perhaps, pinpointing me to a familliar face. Wait, surrounded did Thai tonight even come from? "Umm.. Never mind". I said and looked away, already embarrassed enough to have started a conversation. I barely know her...., or I do perhaps. I could feel her staring at me, I tried to ignore it. 

A gust of wind entered the hallway, when the feint door opened. I didn't look up, she was still staring at me. Can you stop, I water to say but it felt as though she had every right to... 

Heavy footsteps stride towards us,  a dominant yet familiar presence yet again filled the hallway. It walked towards my direction , it fet as though he belonged here. I felt the same eerie feelings play in as i fet him come closer. From the corner of my eye i was able to notice two guys striding towrads my direction. He grew closer and closer, he stopped beside the orange haired girl. I looked at her, our eyes coliding yet she never looked away. I felt uneasy, its as if my spirit is running away from me, from my possession to something way mixer familiar, cumforting, and  protecting. Ditching that, I tugged Saiba out of the hallway saying "fill the form in alter  when we get into the hall".

"Alright, alright, let go of my hand now", she said, looking at her wrist and taking oit out of hy hand. "Looks, its gone red. What were you even thinking, young ladie?. "sorry" I bluntly said. We scanned our ID cards in the barcode machine before moving in to the hall. 

After a while, we heard loud taps on the speaker followed by greetings. "Welcome to our meds academy. I believe, this is a new beginnings and a new start for each and every one of you at our academy. This opportunity that you have is so prestigious......" The woman at the head of the hall went in and on about the academy and our ambition. She wore a black suit. Her hair secured at the back of her head with plenty pins. Looking away from her, my eyes scanned the hugely packed hall. "Are all theses the new comers?" I asked Saiba. "Probably not. I don't think they'd accept all these goats at once. I bet there are  a lot of the ore unison year student too". " yh, probably" I said, instantly my eyes clashed with the orange haired. Her eyes so thrilling but  hiring into me. Noticing my gaze in her, she looked away from me, like she had been cought stealing sweets and I was the owner, who she hid, Yet she didn't to. Why WA she staring at me like that though. 

"Now, I want all the newcomers to settle down. Your dorm room numbers and keys are available from mr Stewart's and mr bake at the back. I want to wish you all a very bets if luck. I want our pre students to hang around before we call it a night. Thank you. Once again, the previous year needs to stay behind. "

Crossing the road, and walking a few roads away from our campus , me and Saiba clustered hard to our bags and suit case and held the map securely. " dont tell me, we've still got a few block to cross before we meet out awaited destination" Saiba groaned. "We're almost there, just as trees away,keep go..." I stopped mid sentence feeling uncomfortable. For a weird atmosphere suddenly hung around me. I turned back and to my sides, looking for possible eyes, staring at me There were none.

"What happened?" I heard Saiba. I turned back. A huge land unveiled infront of me. Huge trees and wild bushes, animal sniff and distant snarls trapped in its captivity.

"Is that like a forest or something out there?" I asked Saiba. "Where?" She asked. "There" I said, pounding towards it. "Possibly, it's weird though, this is quite a modern area tough and ..." A dark brown figured stood near a large willows tree. He hard black eyes which deeply bored into mine. He was looking straight at me. What was that figure. The whole earth beneath me, quivered in fear at the sight of him, i was intimidated.

"Do you see that animal there?" I asked her. She looked confused although I was pin-pointing the animal with my finger. Looking at her, I see that she's looking at a whole different area. I tilted her face and pointed once gain, yet this time when I looked at the far willow tree, nothing was there. "What are you taking about you!?". It was there, i know it was. I walked closer towards the area, yet the distance never came to an end.  "It was there, an animal like figure, perhaps a bear, it was there I know it was. It literally stood there gawking it's eyes at me and now it's gone.. I swear"

"Hush Tooba, i don't think anything will ever out there at this time of the day, so calm down", Saiba said stopping me mid sentence. 

"But it was there, staring a."

The animal was therere staring at me, the stare was deep and somewhat nerving. Chills ran down my spiine at the thought of him, his eyes... they held something. He disappeared but.. instantly? How?

"Your just anxious calm down, how could o have not seen it if it was there. You kow my eyesight is sharer than yours" 

She was right, if i had seen it she must have too, she wouldn't lie to me. Nor was my eyesight better than hers , for mine was quite weak. I was probably mistaken.
