Personality is a lie, after all the whole concept that revolves around it is pretty subjective. Clever people play with their personalities just like a chameleon with its colors, while those who can't, will have a harder time in this judgmental society. The very concept of personality is pretty vague. One can act differently in front of others and differently when alone. That's why I said personality is a lie.

I'm Dave Warren, and finally I'm starting my college life in this new city which I moved to. To tell you the truth, I wanted to leave my old place, it just became a place that harbors some old memories that I should leave behind to get a fresh start.

Since I moved here, before getting a hostel I decided to crash at my big brother's place. And God damn, he's living a life of luxury. A flat all to himself and still demanding me to go to hostel, ain't that being rude. Well, maybe I'm the rude one for crashing here without telling anything before my arrival.

I did all i could to online to get into college and now I'm ready to finally attend it. This time i will be sure to enjoy it.

"Cab will be here in a few minutes, take your stuff and don't forget anything."

"Yeah yeah... i know Daren."

Since the college is so far from my brother's place, I'm taking a cab for now. I hope to find a hostel near the college. Living alone is something i always wanted and now I can finally achieve it.

This college is not much famous but I guess it gets the work done..like teaching and giving a degree. That's what I'm here for. But the first day had something else planned for me.

I'm here in college but now I'm just roaming around trying to find the class, good thing that i actually got here earlier than the actual timing.

"Excuse me, where is the class for 1st year ECE ?"

I asked one of the people who was just wandering around the college in a black uniform. From the looks of it he seems to be a guard of something.

"First year? Oh..go to room number 110 that's the one you are looking for."

"Thanks."

Good thing I asked someone rather than roaming around. And soon I found room number 102. Guess I should follow it till I find the room 110.

Luckily i got to the class and seats were open in the front. So I sat on the second bench from the left row. I don't know why but this college still uses black boards instead of white board and markers.

Finally, other students entered but it looks like they are coming in groups. I think that would be obvious because I'm joining 20 days late since the starting of the semester.

Just behind them, the professor came and opened his book. There are still a few students who are coming late but I guess these students can be found anywhere.

It's lunch break now, or I think it is as other students took their bags and started to leave and some went to the cafeteria, i followed them after I heard they were going to the college cafeteria. To be honest, I didn't understand a thing which the professors taught us today. God, looks like engineering is going to be tough.

I didn't get anything to eat from the cafeteria, and I'm just scrolling through my mobile for now. Soon enough the bell rang, it's time for the next lecture but as i entered the class, to my surprise there was no one there, so i decided to wait but even after half an hour no one came. I came to the door of the class and looked outside, and it seems like the whole college is empty. Maybe a sports period or something.

I saw a girl walking in the hallway so I called out to her and asked where the other students were but then she said something surprising.

"Wait..what are you doing here now, it's a half-working day dude. You should leave for your home now."

My luck..i knew something was wrong. I just ended up wasting my time here. Thinking that i took out my phone and booked a cab.

Later when the brother came back from work and found me in a foul mood he giggled to himself and asked.

"How was the day in college?"

"Just the average, I still can't understand what they thought and the library isn't gonna give any books anytime soon for now. So I feel like I'm walking a dark road at night without a touch to light my path."

"Haha, I get that. Don't worry, things will fall into place."

"I hope so. By the way, why didn't you tell me that today was a half day?"

"Well..i didn't know myself."

"You are a terrible liar, you yourself came home earlier than expected."

You just wanted me to face some trouble, big brother, I know that. Afterall you like making a fool out of me.

"By the way, I found a hostel for you, its closer to the college and it's cheap. You should directly go to the hostel tomorrow morning and from there go to the college."

"Yeah yeah..you just want me to leave as soon as possible, just say it." I replied to him in a sarcastic tone.

We understand each other and that's the best part.

Next day, I moved to the hostel and then came to college on time. I sat in the class and soon other classmates came as well.

But something strange happened, as this time a professor came with a register in her hand and started taking attendance. And lets blame my bad luck for this but it turns out that she didn't call my name.

I walked up to her and asked.

"Did you make any mistakes, professor? You didn't call my name?"

"No, I didn't. I called all the names of the EEE students."

Wait, but I'm from ECE. Realising the issue I got embarrassed and told her that I'm from ECE. She looked at me with a surprised face. Maybe she's thinking how much of a stupid guy is he?

So, all this time I have been sitting in the wrong class. Who should I blame, the guard, my luck or me. Well there's no point in thinking about it now.

All the students are looking at me with a confused face as well but since I said that I'm from ECE in a low voice, they probably didn't hear it.

"Follow me."

The professor asked me to follow her. Maybe she's talking me to some other professor, maybe I'm going to get scolded for now stupid i am. There's nothing i can do so i followed her to another room and there's a board saying it's some kind of lab.

I stood at the door while she just talked with another professor inside and soon she invited me inside.

All this time I'm too embarrassed to even say a word or notice something other than those two professors.

After finishing her talk with the other professor she turned towards me and said..

"He's the one who is your professor, from now on ask him if you have any doubts okay?"

"Okay.."I said while waving my head up and down.

And after hearing that she left the room. Now its just me and this new profesor.

"Okay, so you are the new student who was supposed to come to college tomorrow, well it's never too late. Come follow me."

From the way he just spoke, he seems like a nice guy. I followed him into a room where there was this big laser gun kind of machine that was placed on a table.

"What's your name again?"

"Sir its Dave.."

"Okay..so, Dave this is the first experiment and your batchmates have already done this today before you came. Let me show you how to perform this experiment."

"Okay sir."

I just stood there while he started explaining how to perform the experiment and i just followed his instructions. Luckily i got the bits and pieces of it. This much is enough for me.

"Good job, now your classmates are writing the experiment down in their notebook. Just go and ask someone who has already completed it and write it in your notebook too."

"Okay sir,"

I came out of the room which had that laser gun thing and saw a few students sitting around a table. I guess they are my classmates.

I walked there and saw a chair was open, so I sat there. I looked at the side. It seems like the guy beside me has completed his work and now he's just scrolling on his phone. So I asked for his notebook and luckily he gave it to me. What a nice guy he is.

I began copying his notes into my notebook but for some reason I got an intense feeling to look in front of me.

Who say love at first sight isn't real? Well i used to believe that too but then again once i looked in front of me to the other side of that big table. My heart tightened, and it felt like I couldn't take my eyes off of her anymore. Maybe that's when i developed a crush on my classmate Albie Forbes.
