September 2 2023

The weekend was over as today was the first day of the week of college, The students felt like the weekend ended quickly which did upsetted them and wished for the upcoming weekend to arrive as soon as possible.

Many students were on their way to their respective classrooms, A lot of them already seemed annoyed to come back to their classes. Meanwhile, Benjamin was looking at his watch as there was still twenty minutes until his class began.

He was thinking about the murder case for the last two days, Benjamin hasn't even enjoyed the weekend since he was mostly busy working and even visited Arnold to talk more about the case.

As Benjamin continued walking, He was distracted by his own thoughts, He also wanted to go and look for his friends right now. But he wasn't sure if their classes started or not. However, Benjamin accidentally bumped into as he fixed his glasses and looked concerned.

Benjamin: Uhhh, I'm sorry-

His eyes widened when he saw who it was.

Disha fixed her hair and looked at Benjamin, She smiled and recognised him as Benjamin stared at her in shock, He recognised the beautiful leader of the dancing club, and now he was too stunned to speak.

Disha: *Smiles* It's okay.

Benjamin continued staring at her as Disha looked at him.

Disha: Aren't you that awkward guy everyone talks about?

Benjamin: *Raises an eyebrow* Uhhh, who said that?

Disha: A lot of those popular girls and guys.

He rolled his eyes as Disha giggled at his reaction.

Disha: You also interrupted our practice before.

Benjamin: Oh. . . . Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

He spoke in embarrassment as Disha smiled at him, She found him quite adoreble whenever he looked awkward and timid.

Disha: It's okay, Don't worry about it. You don't have to feel embarrassed.

Benjamin just chuckled and looked at her as both of them smiled at each other until she had a question.

Disha: Do you like dancing?

Benjamin: Yes, I have a huge passion for that.

Disha: Oh really? Well, I've actually been looking for someone to join our club, Would you like to join?

She took that as an opportunity to let him join the club, Benjamin was surprised as he was thinking about, However he wasn't sure if he could participate in club activities in time since he would always be very busy after his classes.

Benjamin: I like the offer but. . . . I don't think I would have the time for that, Sorry.

She looked at him and frowned before nodding, Benjamin felt bad that he refused the offer, but Disha seemed to understand.

Disha: It's okay, I guess college can be a little hectic. But just remember you're free to join anytime.

Benjamin: Thank you. . . Uhhh.

Disha: *Laughs* My name is Disha.

Benjamin: Oh Disha. . . That sounds beautiful.

He realised what he said as Benjamin bit his tongue and felt awkward, but Disha had a huge smile on her face.

Disha: Thank you! What's your name?

Benjamin; It's Benjamin.

Disha: Nice to meet you-

Nora: Disha! aap kya karey? Jaldi aajao! (Disha, what are you doing? Come quickly!)

Benjamin looked in confusion as Disha said something to her friend in Hindi before she looked at Benjamin.

Disha: Sorry! My friends need me right now, I'll see you later, Benjamin.

Benjamin: Oh, it's fine, Take care, Disha.

She smiled and walked away as Benjamin had a huge smile on his face and continued staring at her, However he still felt bad that he didn't join her club, He was feeling a bit tempted now, Benjamin loved dancing and thought it was a great opportunity to join.

He finally decided that maybe he could manage some time, Benjamin looked at Disha who was walking away until he quickly followed her.

Benjamin: Uhh! Disha!

She turned around and looked at her, His heart skipped a beat by the way her hair flipped as he stared at her in silence before he gave an awkward smile.

Benjamin: I thought about it and. . . I might join your club.

Her face lightened up as she had a huge smile on her face.

Disha: Really? Awesome! Welcome to the club!

She quickly walked towards him as both of them shook hands, She already had the excitement to have Benjamin as a new member of the club, and even Ben himself felt excited.

Racheal: *Sighs* Darby, my mom called me again.

Darby: Seriously? What does she want now?

Racheal was silent and had mixed emotions, Darby looked at her Aith concern as Racheal spoke to him.

Racheal: She's threatening me, She wants me to drop off of college.

Darby's eyes widen in shock as he clutches his fist in anger.

Darby: Are you serious? That's wrong! It was your dream to study at Hemsworth University!

Racheal: She mentioned it was all because of the expensive fees.

Darby: *Scoffs* Isn't your family rich?

Racheal: You know they're really greedy and arrogant, They don't want to pay for my college fees, but they will definitely buy a mercerdes for my brothers

Darby: That's what makes me really angry.

Racheal: I know! And I'm not letting that happen. . . . But it's just stressing me out.

She started to feel emotional as Darby felt sad for her, Racheal looked at the ground as she began thinking about the situation, She didn't want to leave her boyfriend and friends because of her mother, She really wanted to stay and study along with achieving her goals and dreams. . . But her family wanted to stop her.

Darby: Hey. . . It's alright

Racheal: I'm really angry right now, Darby!. . . I don't want to leave you. . . I don't want to leave Benji.

Meanwhile, Logan was seen standing outside while staring at his house, It's been a long time since he saw his home that was rented by his sister after their parents died in the house fire.

Logan began having memories of the past as he smoked a cigarette and continued staring before he walked towards the door and noticed it was open.

He opened the door and walked inside and there was a strong smell of drugs and cigarettes. The house didn't seem that clean as well. He frowned and looked around until he heard footsteps as Logan saw someone walking down the staircase.

It was a woman with medium length brown hair, which was quite messy, Her eyes looked tired, and it already looked like she took a lot of drugs, Her outfit was clean, though, as the woman was holding a kitchen knife.

Her eyes softened when she saw Logan as she dropped the kitchen knife and looked at him in shock.

???: Logan?. . . .

Logan: Sis. . .

He spoke in a low tone, That was his sister, Jennifer. He continued smoking while staring at her as she looked at him.

Jennifer: Why did you come here, i thought you had classes?

Logan: . . . Just wanted to visit. . . Didn't expect this though.

Jennifer: *Sighs* Leave right now.

Logan: I will. . . But how are you doing?

She looked at him in silence and walked towards him, She stared at her brother for a few seconds before shaking her head.

Jennifer: The usual, Believe me. . .

He took another cigarette off his pack as she narrowed her eyes.

Jennifer: I thought I told you to get rid of that.

Logan: Your breath still smells like cigarettes. . .

Jennifer: *Sighs* I know! But I don't want you to do it!

She began rambling as Logan stared at her. Sometimes, he couldn't believe that this was his sister, especially by the state of her. The drugs were also affecting her.

Logan: Jennifer, Stop. How much did you take right now?

Jennifer: Just a little bit. . .

She began holding her head as her gaze softened again.

Jennifer: Please go, Logan. . . I don't want you to be seeing me like this. . . Message me when you want to come over.

Logan felt his heart drop when she said that after their parents' death, it affected her really badly. Kenway just walked away without saying anything as he shut the door and left the house.

[At the university]

Logan sneaked inside the university but almost got caught as well, Luckily he wasn't in trouble as Logan was finding his friends while stretching his arms out, However he also couldn't stop thinking about his sister.

As he continued walking, Someone called his name as Logan turned around and saw who it was.

Samara: Hey Logan!

Logan looked at her as he had a huge smile on his face.

Logan: We meet again, Samara.

She laughed a little as Logan was looking at her, He wanted to speak to her just so he could be distracted by what happened at the house.

Logan: That dress looks adoreble.

Samara: Aww, really? Thanks

Logan couldn't help but smile as Samara continued smiling at him before she said something.

Samara: Wanna chat for a little bit? I'll also introduce you to my roommate, Alexa.

Logan: Sure, Why not?

She smiled as both of them began walking through the hallway while talking to each other and met Alexa as the conversation was quite fun so far.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
