We waved back for the last time to mom and dad and made our way to the waiting area for the passengers before boarding the flight.

It was our first time going outside from our country without our parents. I was feeling so much excited and nervous at the same time. I was rolling my hanky through my hands and sobbing continuously.

"Hey, are you okay?'' asked Moo while she was busy in adjusting her back on the comfortable seat.

"Yeah, kinda.... did you see mom was still crying when we were waving at them?" I asked her with a tensed look.

"Yes, I saw mom.. she was just so scared to leave us alone for the first time. I saw dad's glassy eyes too. They are so protective to us. And that's why they don't want to leave us alone. But don't worry we all will be used to it" said Moo with a blank smile.

"So, how are you feeling right now miss?" I asked her suddenly to change the lame mood between us.

"Are you asking me this, huh! I'm super excited. At last our dream to get admission in a foreign university is happening. We're going Aurora, CAN YOU IMAGINE?"

I still remember the day when Moo got the scholarship for this huge reputed college. We both did so hard in our studies to get the highest marks in the annual examination. Moo got 99.9% percentile, she held the first position and I got 99.7% percentile. There was another girl who scored 99.8%, but she declined the scholarship as she didn't want to leave the country. There were only two scholarship seats so luckily I got the chance. Moo was extremely happy as we both were going together. That was our dream plan since forever. And now it's coming true.

"I know right. Our dream is coming true. But have you thought anything about what you will do on the first day of our college?" I asked her surprisingly.

"Actually I'm thinking about the college hostel right now....."

"Yeah, that's a thing too" I said with a worried look.

"But we will adjust. Don't worry. Now enjoy the flight and get some rest" She patted my back with an assuring smile.

"Yes, you too"

I put my earphones on and closed my eyes to feel the moment.

We reached on time. The flight was really good. According to the Google map the college hostel was one hour away from the airport. So we took our luggages and booked a cab. The driver placed the cab near the college block. We cleared the cab bill and headed towards the college hostel.

"Wow, it's so beautiful Moo" I said with a big 'O' forming on my mouth.

"Yeah, it is. Look at the tress." She also said in awe. "Let's go to the hostel's reception first" Moo said while removing her phone from the back pocket.

"Hello miss, we're new here".

"How can I help you guys" Said the receptionist.

She seemed so frank to us. The lady was wearing a cream and off-white shirt with a tight fitting long black trouser which were crafted in polyester and featured a mid-rise waist, belt loops on the waistband and a regular fit. The outfit made her appearance even more smarter.

"Can you please tell us which room we should have here".

"Let me check first. What is your name?" Asked the lady while scrolling down all the bunch of names on her laptop.

"Pearl Criswell & Aurora Criswell" Informed Moo.

"Yeah got it. So your room number is 27B and here is your room keys" The lady handed the key to us.

"Thank you Ma'am" we said in unison.

"You're very welcome" The lady gave us a soft smile.

We opened the room and kept our luggages in the side. The dorm room had three separate beds. The entire room mostly didn't need to be so lit since the focus work areas were the study tables which has a dedicated lights of their own. Rest of the room had accentuated boxy material with holes punched through for spot light round light beams. And had one bathroom attached to the room. Luckily we got a beautiful window room which leaded to the outside view.

"Are you guys new here?" A female voice came from our behind.

"Yeah, I think you're the one who's sharing the room with us" I said to the girl who seemed to just got back from an evening walk. She looked so fit.

"Ohh yes! My name is Hyuna... Kim Hyuna. Nice to meet you guys" The girl stretched her hand to meet mine.

"Hello hyuna, I'm Aurora and she is Moo, sorry I mean Pearl" I pointed my fingers to Moo.

"Nice to meet you too" smiled Moo.

"Let me help you both with unpacking the bags." she started doing so. Damn she was energetic. We happily accepted the help.

"That's so sweet of you" I said with a thankful smile.

Throughout the whole evening we talked about many topics with Hyuna and we became good friends very quickly. She was really a nice girl. After eating our dinner we three came back to our room and jumped onto the bed.

"Good night guys, I'm too tired now." I said while rubbing my eyes with my both hands.

"We've to wake up early tomorrow for the college, so sleep well" said Moo.

"Good night guys and sweet dreams" Hyuna switched off the lights.

"Hope we will have a wonderful day tomorrow" I said to myself and fell asleep.
