a week or so...

What had happened to Arushi that didnt remain a mystery for long. She didn't appear in college the next day. The after that when she finally returned, she was accompanied with her parents and by the end of the day around 12 students were suspended. When she had finally returned to class and had told them the incident. They were dumbstruck. She was closed in an unused room for three hours. How she had battled her claustrophobia was unknown to her. Inspite of her arrogancy, Sree couldn't help but like the courage of this girl. Her urge to abide by the law.

A week passed by. By the end of it they were simply over-burdened with practicals from all the labs which could literally haunt you- it started with graphics and ended with workshop, only to be filled in by physics, mechanical and electronics. They had already started swearing at those people who had in some point of their life told them that 'Engineering is easy...'

Life had lost its excitement. The new flavour had also gone. Ragging was on the backfoot since the incident with Arushi. And to top it all, the first internals were just a week away. This is when Sree fell ill. And the day before she had left her copy in the class and had accepted her fate about failing in the upcoming test. When she finally returned to class, it was just three days left for the exam. This is when Arushu returned her copy. And to her surprise... Every word of the week's notes were scribbled in Sree's copy... but only in Arushi's handwriting...
