Who is she? Who is she? We were asking each other until the madam directly asked for her introduction. Although we were the same age, communicating with a stranger is not always easy. Especially when you see a small girl with a worried but innocent expression.

It's strange because on the first day of college these students were extremely socialised and extroverted. Sometimes I think that the new student is not as nervous as his or her colleagues are.

I remember the afternoon when she asked me for the notes. And my notes were so unorganised that I didn't want to show it to anybody. But she said, " I'll manage." I don't even remember when those small talks turned up into hourly conversations.

Sometimes I think either she was so smart or so dumb. But I never interfere. Sometimes I like watching her learn to fall then walk again. Be with the people, analyse their behaviour and then choose your surroundings. I have heard many things about that girl. Be it gossip or appreciation. Be it a rumour or something else.

Once a girl was defaming her for attracting boys in a humorous voice assuming that people will enjoy the gossip. But she had an extremely cold reply from her friends. Because people are not foolish.
