[Warning:-  sexual harassment, insecurity, bullied, poorly written and cringy af, I wrote this when I was around 14 yrs, tho I uploaded on wattpad by 17]

"Chemistry is chemistrying, bro!", one of the blond girl spoke who was sitting beside my bench, technically she whispered this sentence to her friend who was more engage in her phone.

I didn't care much.

Because, its just have been few days of my arrival in this university, and according to my observations, these two girls are quite close friends, and always gossiping about other batch mates, especially boys.

So it was their all usual habits of the initials of the day.

Whereas, me? I don't know. I always tend to find comfortable with myself not taking help of others in this case. It's just, I couldn't gather the courage to speak out my voice and the real me infront of anyother person. And moreover, my past also doesn't contribute in this act to showcase the inner child of me.

Currently, laying my head down on the desk, underneath my hands to give a pillow like surface for my head. Because I couldn't complete me sleep last night. And, to also escape this class situation.

This have always been a concern for me, that how my batch can be an asshole, like for everyday. I mean, just look the mesh they always create, no less than a fishmarket.

"Zelda?"
A voice of my name alarmed in my ears even through this noise.
I guess, I have been day dreaming of someone's voice, there's no way that someone initiates to talk to me.

"Hey, Zelda?"
Again lingered, this time a bit loud.
I collected myself and extracted from the desk, then removing the hair strands from my face to get a transparent view of that particular person.

Who is this now? I don't know this girl, nor her name. Yes, as I am new , I have been watching students all time and even can recognize faces of few but this is the very first time I have a view of the person who is standing beside my bench.

And moreover, how on the Earth she knows my name?

Then, eventually, she fanned her hand in front of my face, making me blink for just few seconds.

"Huh?"
Nothing came from my mouth as I didn't knew what to say.

"Uh, Hii!"
She extended her hand towards my side, and then I
blinked, unaware of what to do next. But, at the end, I gathered my broken chain of thoughts and shook hands with her.

She smiled.
I need to say her smile was so bright.

"What's up?", she asked.
"Uh, fine..what about you?", I replied with a question.
"Great, mind if I sit here?", she questioned while pointing towards the seat beside me.

At first, I was amused by someone's sudden approach and now this?
But as I didn't wanted her to wait for so long, I agreed and move aside with my belongings.

She sat comfortably after placing her bagpack having yellow and pink knots over a small pouch.

The same bagpack I always desire to get.

She again gave me a grin which pass through from ear to ear.

"Thank you, by the way, Luna here."
She again offered her hand, which I gladly accepted.

"Uh, Zelda this side."
I said.

"I know."
She shrugged and opened the chain of her bag. My eyes followed her movement and I abruptly asked.

"Well, how do you know my name?"

She heard what I questioned.

"Because you are new, so it's easier to remember one's name when they are new somewhere."
Oh, this is the reason.
I nodded in agreement and started to bring out the books from my backpack.

Eventually, her voice alarmed through my eardrums with the statement,
"Well, what's your full name?"

"Zelda Schekov."

"Oh...a unique one"

"Maybe"

(Class bell rings)
"Oh, the teacher is about to come.",she exclaimed and I agreed.

Suddenly, the teacher arrived, and instructed all of us to take our books and started asking questions to any random students.
At the same time, I glanced Luna biting her nails, and that too in nervousness? I suppose, she is afraid of this asking thing.
So, to calm her down up, I laid my hands on her shoulder.
She looked at my side, and saw me with a perplexed expression.

"I-I am afraid, I didn't studied anything."

Just this? But still,
I assured her that I will be helping her in this case, so she doesn't need to worry.

Almost, after 10 mins, our teacher made me stand up.
"Miss Schekov, please stand up."
I did the same. My whole attention was at teacher, but still I can feel my side girl giving attention to her books.

"So tell me, what is LEE CHATELIER PRINCIPLE?"

I was getting worried what if I didn't answer correct?
What if I'd get hesitate while answering?
What if I couldn't stand up on the expectations I made to myself last night?
What if..?

"One step closer, I have loved you, Darling don't be afraid, I have trusted you. Just roar how power you got. Trust yourself. I trust you more than anyone else out there."

These are the words 'he' spoke to me.
Every night, every day he would tell me these things.

I gained the confidence then, inhaled the air, and said,

"The principle where the equilibrium tend to set up at a place where their is minimum disturbance."

"Good. You may have your seat, please."

"Thank you."
And then, I seated back.
Only I knew how I controlled the adrenaline rush to not get myself wrong.
How it was beating fast, when all the attention was on me.

I craned my neck towards her, and saw her with an amusement expression.
I shrugged and asked,

"What's with that face?"
"Woah, cool girl, you did really well."
"Uh, What's cool in this?"
"You study, that's the most flex thing of yours."
"Everyone study, what's something flex in this?"

She made a 'done with me' face and replied,
"Cause I ain't girl."
"OK, I see."

Then she remained quiet for few seconds and again blabbered, "Could you please help me with this problem?"

"OF what?"
"With this studying issue, please."
Sounds like she is pleading.

"Uh, let's see. Because I don't know either much."

"Yes, thank you"
She grined.

All these statements were sounds like whispered to both of us, so didn't create any disturbance much in the class.

(Class bell rings again)
"OK students, so this is the end of today's class, And I hopefully wish you may all do your today's given homework by tomorrow. Thank you."
With this, the teacher collected all his belongings and went.

Along with him, we did the same.

"Zelda, how many members are there in your family?"
She asked.

"4, including me. What about yours?"
I asked while placing my elbow on the table and my head resting on the palm.

"Same. You have a sibling too?"

"Yes, a younger brother."

"Oh, I have an elder brother."

I nodded my head and made myself check out the lunch box I kept in my bag this morning.

"Hey, why don't you talk often?"
She asked catching me off guard. What's with that question now?

"Uh, sorry but I didn't get it?"
I asked knitting my eyebrows with a perplexed expression.

"I mean, why don't you talk often, just like I do. Since the starting of the day I have observed your speaking thing, And I don't get it why don't you speak much."
I was taken aback, like what?

"Its j-just, I don't feel comfortable with others for a conversation."
Yes, that's actually true.

She gasped some air, and said,
"Did I made you uncomfortable?"
Yes, you did.

"N-no, never, it just, uhm..you are new to me, so it may take few days for me to settle up."
I lied and gave a tight smile, obviously a force one.

Her reaction, I don't know what to name it.

"Don't worry, in just few days, I will be your one of the best friend you will be every having in your life. I assure you this."
She said and pinched my cheek with a soft force.

Her confidence, Oh god! Just give me one like hers.

It have been almost 1 hour of our physics class, but felt like years. I want to have my lunch so bad.

"Class let's end up here, I guess it's enough for you. You may go to canteen."
He insisted.

Gosh, now I get some relief.
"What's up for lunch?"
Luna asked.

"Nothing, just sandwiches."
I replied while taking out my lunch.

"Wow, I didn't bought anything."

"Its OK, you can have one from mine."
"Thank you, let's go to canteen, we will buy something."
I turned my head towards her side and replied,
"Uh, Luna you may go..I ain't going there."
"Eh, why though?"
"Its just I like to eat alone without making other people watching me."
"What? So stupid of you, Zelda."

Just like your talks.

"Uh, never mind, you can go if you want."
I said while unpacking my sandwich.

She sighed and sat beside me again.

"If you are not going, I am also not going. I will eat with you, here."
She said and took a bite of my lunch.
I watched her each and every movement but I didn't bothered myself much.

"Mmm...Its so tasty."
I smiled.

"I am glad you like it."
Her eyes were out as the size of a soccer.

"You smiled? Oh my god...you look so beautiful when you smile."
She emphasized.

I didn't have anything to say.

"Gosh, you are really so pretty."
She extended this session.

Being confident about my insecurities, I spoke.
"Me? You are mistaken."

"Why so?"

"Have you watched yourself? How beautiful you look! How wonderful your facial features are. How glamorous your smile is. How beautifully your face glooms just like my moon."
I said and adored the last word in my mind.
It's actually true, even though she speaks alot but still she is one of the most beautiful and prettiest person I have ever met after my love.

"And what about you? Have you ever observed your eyes, they feel like they are holding the brightness of the constellation of the stars. And your honey almond colour! I die for this skin texture. The smile when you gave me right now, adds beauty on your face. Did you even realize that?"

Oh my, how lovely she quoted me. None have ever done this compliments.
With this, I severely blushed.

Does she really meant that?
She moaned with the taste of sandwich. I didn't knew she will liked it this much.

"How tasty it is! You are so talented."
She exclaimed.

"What do you mean by talented?"

"You really cook so well, you made this sandwich so tasty."
Wait, how did she know that I made this?

"I-, how do you know that I made this?"
She was surely surprise with my sudden question and stopped at her path of taking another bite.

Lack of words, that was the other name of this situation for her.

"Uh, its just.."
