Viha and I bonded like oxygen and fire. She's awesome, I'm awesome and everyone pranced about in the beautiful sunset. We got introduced to another Indian during our currently brief stay (I wasn't sure if I was in America anymore), a girl living in the room just opposite to us. Krishi Patel, northie and complete nerd. I was surprised she wasn't south Indian. Our meeting was ... interesting. I think it would be appropriate to say that she, well, came in like a wrecking ball. Seriously.

Our door was open, and so was hers. She was having a fight with her roommate, something that went like,"I DO NOT WANT TO SEE NAKED MEN IN THIS ROOM EVER AGAIN, NOR DO I HAVE ANY INTEREST IN SEEING YOU NAKED!! USE A TOWEL WHEN YOU GET OUTTA THE BATHROOM!!!!!" or something of that sort. So basically, they were hurling insults and whatever shitty things they could find at each other. One of those shitty things, in this case, a bar of soap, flew out of their door and into our room, thwacking Viha in the face.

All I could see was a white spot flying through our open door and hitting her. I don't know why, but I watched her fall backwards in slow motion. I suppose I should've helped her up immediately, but I was too surprised. Suddenly there was a girl running toward her while I just stood there dazed. To be fair, this really wasn't something that happened everyday, well, at least not to me. The girl kneeling next to Viha seemed familiar. Looooooong hair (it reached her butt) braided neatly, geeky rectangular spectacles and a pretty face with a pointed nose, kind of like an evil witch. Wasn't she one of my final year project mates? Different class but brainy as hell, and extremely timid. We weren't besties or anything, just acquaintances. She seemed like a loner. I mean, we did have conversations, but we almost always spoke about the project and possibly bitched about how useless the teachers were. That was one topic all of us could talk about for hours together.

Anyway, I snapped out of my daze and made my way toward Viha, who was moaning and swearing like a sailor. Krishi was looking at her in shock and apologizing over and over again. Viha managed to stop swearing for long enough to open her eyes and ask her to shut up because she was giving her a headache. Krishi looked hurt but complied by snapping her mouth shut. I was pretty sure Viha would snap at me if I uttered a word. I know I would.

Krishi was still staring at her like there was a wild animal threatening to bite her head off. I suppose Viha's expression pretty much qualified as feral. So I mimed getting an ice pack, at that, Viha said,"No, its ok. Its just gonna hurt for sometime. Doubt it'll bruise. Maybe a small bump." Krishi started apologizing profusely at that. Viha just shook her head saying,"Hey its fine. Just be glad it was a-- wait, what was it that hit me?" I stood up to look at it. A bar of soap. Wow! whoever threw it was strong. It literally knocked Viha off her feet.

"My roommate threw it at me but I dodged" said Krishi. I laughed. I just couldn't help it. "Why were you guys fighting?" I asked. She started explaining her story. Apparently, she arrived last night and the first thing she saw when she entered the room was her roommate fucking someone (she got all flustered when she tried to explain what they were doing, she kept stuttering. So, Viha and I teased her for some time .... 2 hours). So she directly turned and made her way to the office for a change in allotted rooms, unfortunately, they couldn't give her another room. So she came back, sat outside the room with her luggage and dozed off on the luggage. To top that, the roommate came out in the morning, saw her outside and kicked her awake. I shit you not, she KICKED her awake. She got up, understandably pissed, and thus began the fighting. Krishi attempted to set some ground rules, to which the bitchy roommate did not agree. And they'd been going back and forth from 7am.

Viha and I had a small talk that involved raising eyebrows at each other.

Yep, we were the dragon twins. What !!?? I love Jackie Chan, okay!

We nodded at each other and stood up. We knocked on the door opposite to ours and the bitch opened it. She was, well, beautiful. As in, adult movie beautiful. Okayyyy! Porn star bautiful. We just pushed past her to go into the unoccupied room. She wouldn't stop screeching, we ignored her and using our great strength, tried to lift Krishi's bed.

It wouldn't budge.

So much for our brilliant plan.

I motioned for her to stay right there and ran to my room. I called Ayan and asked him to get his ass to my floor with friends, if he had made any. He wouldn't come unless I explained so I huffed and explained what had happened and what we intended to do. He laughed at our failed attempt and said arrived pretty quickly with three others. I grinned at him,"lets lift that bed?" "Sure. Lets go guys." he said turning toward his three friends, all of whom nodded. The guys had awesome coloured irises. I swear, if I didn't have any shame, I'd stare into their eyes all day. Soooo cool! Blue, brown with visible specks of green and .... green pools. My eyes widened as I took in the third guy. It was that asshole! My eyes narrowed when I looked at him. He smiled at me. THE NERVE! He didn't even show any sign of recognition. Maybe he has short term memory loss. I sure hoped he did.

So we hauled the bed out of the room and set it down in the small living room of our place, our being Viha and me. Krishi was still blinking. Poor thing couldn't understand what was going on. Viha looked at her, grinning broadly as she said,"You're staying with us from now on." At that, Krishi started peppering us with her gratitude. We just waved it off.

We're just that noble and cool.

We're going to be a trio! *grins happily*

Then began the inroductions. Ayan introduced his buddies, the blue-eyed one was Bradley, brown with green speck was Jeremiah and green eyes ... Should I act like I know him or like I don't?

I settled on acting like I don't when I heard Ayan, who was pointing at green eyes, say,"This is Abhimanyu." "Wait, what?", I shrieked. Everyone looked at me, Viha spared one glance at me and then turned to green eyes, whereas, I had my eyes fixed on him. He looked at me curiously. Whoa, don't tell me he ACTUALLY has short term memory loss!

His expression then changed into a knowing one."You must have met my twin, Aryan. I'm Abhimanyu Daniels", he said with a weird expression. Sad? Tired? Frustrated? I wasn't sure.

Twins huh? Wow. Did NOT see that coming.
