"RADU!!"shout a boy Mihai Alexandru, the first person who asked the professor at math class. " unde mergi? trebuie sa mergem sa inchiriem masina,ai uitat? " seems that he spoke foreign language which Radu also understands it.
"da...da...acuma! " Radu answered. He still stared at Sofiah. And he says "Great, thanks. I have things to do out of the campus, and I really have to go." He ran immediately through Mihai. and made Sofiah speechless because he left so early.
" Thanks!" he said it and waved to her with her note book.
The boys went with a blonde girl. And after Sofiah looked at them, then she went to take another class subject.
Time passed, some students were going back to the place where they were living. Some of them were living in a house rent, and some who had their family away were living in a hostel. It's a nice place though some students had to share their rooms with their mate. In every room some of them were having 2 beds or more and some has their private room. And of course, boys and girls hostels were separated. Sofiah stayed in a room with 2 beds which was the other's bed owned by an India girl. Her name was Preity Shivani. She had a very beautiful long hair and a pierce on her nose which makes her looks very sweet. She was very clean and tidy. Her cupboard's door was always full of papers, schedules and a simple important notes of subjects such as formula of chemist, math, and highlighted sentences that she needed to remember all the time. It was her second year in Oxford. It had been a week since Sofiah moved on to Oxford, they liked to talk about cultures before they went to sleep.
" Yes, thats the reason we keep on wearing our traditional costumes." Preity explained to Sofiah and they were both on their bed.
" That's strange enough!" Sofiah amazed while knowing about India view about dressing and modern fashion design. "Coz in my country although we are still wearing our costumes, we are wearing fashionable dress inside it just exactly like a robe." said Sofiah and playing her black wavy hair while talking with Preity.
"I know how it sounds, but our society have their own perception that wearing modern fashion dress are too westernization. I mean, its like someone is trying to act like westerns."
"What about the Bollywoods???" Sofiah stood up and closed the windows curtain.
"Come on, they were just acting. Nothing are real in our movies." Preity laughed and Sofiah went back to her bed.
Suddenly there were hard scream comes from the outside of the room. The curiosity brought them to stand and run through the door to see what was happening outside.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!" a girl screamed to the girls who were holding her bodies to take her away from another girl who got her hair messed up. Seemed that they had a fight. A lot of curious girls who heard noises from their rooms were in the corridor whispering to each other. A tall and skinny girl beside Sofiah was whispering to her friend next to her and says "I knew this will happen when someone steal other's lover".
"stealing other's lover???" asked another girl behind her and biting her thumb.
"It's Martin, Joel." a girl with a bob short brown hair shouted at Joel, the girl who was still biting her thumb and amazed while knowing that name.
The girls were with their pajamas gathered in a long and wide corridor. Everyone who was ready to sleep became awake and watching the night fight show. In awhile the hostel guard came to end the show and took the involved girls in that fight. Then, the girls went back to their rooms.
Preity was still talking to a girl whom had a short bob hair. And she called Sofiah to introduce her to that girl."She is an Arab too Sofiah" said Preity to Sofiah.
"Marhaba, I'm Jury." Said the girl who had a bob hair and shaking Sofia's hand. With a happy expression knowing that she is an Arab too Sofiah replied " Marhabteen, glad to meet another Arab around here."
Jury was from Lebanon but her mom was a French. Her eyes are green and she had brown short hair. She was the girl who commented at math class after Mihai Alexandru asked the professor. She had a beautiful body and tall like she supposed to be a model. Her room was next to Sofiah's and Preity's room. And she own that single bed room as her parents ordered for her to stay comfortably. Her father was a minister of Lebanon. Thats why she could have everything she wanted and enjoy the life as she wanted. Her 1st year in Oxford wasnt seemed new for her, she was kind of a person who used to travel around the world.. Her life style was so much different than Sofiah because she was from a free family. Sofiah was from a family who were really respect their own tradition. Other wise, Sofiah used to live in her hometown Saudi Arabia which the woman independent right wasnt much as in other free countries. But her habit made her self having special characteristic and personality.
"I saw you at math class today!" told Sofiah to Jury after their few conversation.
"Oh, you were there?" Jury amazed.
""Yes, I was a little bit away from your seat."
"Aha,, that means from now on we will always meet at campus" said Jury excited.
"yep, thats sure." Sofiah continued and smiling.
"I think we'll have math tomorrow at 8.00 am" said Jury while watching her hand's watch.
"Oh yes, shall we go together?" asked Sofiah.
"Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"Great then! night night!"
The time was late, everyone went to their room to sleep. About the couple of girls who had fight that night, were back in to their own room. No body knows what happened after that. The silence made the situation peaceful. No one hanging around the corridor more than 10 am. With the lights off Sofiah and Preity slept very well and only a single light of a moon was shining from the window.
*********************************************************************************
"Come on, come on, come on..... He wont let us get in!!" said Sofiah to Jury while running to the math class.
"It's not late Sofiah,, hold on. You are rushing!" said Jury wished Sofiah will stop running. When they arrived, the class was empty. There was only 1 blonde boy who was reading a book. Jury peeved when she saw that there weren't anyone in a class room and she says " I've told you!" and then she took a seat.
"I'm really sorry, I was looking at Preity's watch and it was 20 minutes late. I was scared." Sofiah explained and she took a seat beside Jury. "You are too focus about the rules written on the paper. Just chill!!" said Jury and fixed her hair worried that it was messy.
A group of students came entered the class and made the room crowded. Radu was there with Mihai and the blonde girl who was with them at the day when Radu left with Mihai for some excuses. That girl no doubt was a girl friend of Mihai. Because she was holding his arm and kissed him on lips all the way. She was tall-sexy, big blue eyed, long wavy haired and modest. She had a habit of biting her lips every time she thought about something.
When Radu saw Sofiah, he came to take a seat beside her and says "Here you are again!". Sofiah smiled at him. Then, Jury pulled Sofiah's shoulder and says " Is he your friend??" Sofiah replied " Uhm,, ahm.." Sofiah was confusing she didn't know how to explain. Radu cut off their conversation and says " Yes I am." Then Sofiah says " Yeah, he is ." Jury felt like something was wrong with Sofiah because she was acting a little bit strange. So Jury introduced her self to Radu. "I'm Jury from Electrical Engineering Course."
"Nice one, I'm Radu from accounting and these are my friends Catrinel from Philosophy and Mihai from Architecture" Introduced Radu to his friends who were just came to them.
Knowing that someone had same course like Sofiah, she was excited and says" Architecture??"
"Yes, are you also from the same course??" asked Mihai to Sofiah.
"Yes! " said Sofiah.
"That means you guys will always meet each other." said Catrinel while she was looking for a seat in front of them. "Iuby! Right here." she called Mihai when she found the seat. And Mihai went to sit with her.
"I'm going to sit here, next to you again" said Radu. He liked to stare straight to Sofiah's eyes. And he only do that to Sofiah.
"You are welcome!" said Sofiah with pleasure and she turned out her gaze from him.
"I didnt have time to rewrite your book." said Radu and returned Sofiah's note book.
"You can borrow it again, but that doesnt mean you wont write again." said Sofiah emphatic.
"hahahaha" Radu laughed and says "You know what girl? I like the way you talk."
"Yeah and soon you will like everything about her." said Jury who was sitting right beside Sofiah.
"You guys are crazy. Are you gonna make a love story or what?" said Sofiah while preparing stationeries for math.
"Maybe, nobody knows" said Jury and looking at Mihai and Catrinel who were talking together so romantic. Radu looked at to Jury's gaze through them and he says " They've been together since they were in high school". And Jury turned on her gaze to Radu like she wanted to know more about them followed with Sofiah. "He got the scholarship and she followed him. She loves him so much." continued Radu with a warm smile.
" I don't know what to say. But thats good that they can love each other and getting close to each other easily and make their world like their own" said Sofiah
"Nothing hard if you know the way." said Jury.
"Yep, nothing hard if you know the way." said Radu.
"And how did you get here??" asked Sofiah to Radu. But the professor came so they stopped talking and started to focus to math.
The math subject was over, everyone left and went to another class for another subject. When Sofiah started to stand up, Radu asks "Can we go out today?"
Sofiah was speechless and amazed. She couldn't give an answer but Jury who heard that invitation get through it and says " She can if you'll let me join you."
"Yes, sure you may come. That would be great! coz I'm going to take Mihai and Catrinel with us." said Radu."Okay, see you girls at 5 pm. And here is my number." Radu wrote his number on a paper and gave it to Jury. And then everyone left to take another class.
Sofiah saw Mihai walked alone to the Art class. From corridor to garden to another building to another corridor and then they arrived in the art class. He seemed a very cold person. He was tall, light skinned, black haired, not too skinny but not fat, has a soft muscles on his arm, and had a serious dark brown eyed. . His style wasn't so fashionable like Radu, he was wearing shirt and folded sleeve, simple trouser, belt, and black shoes. It was like he was from enough family.
The professor started to teach. Sofiah was very active on that subject because Art was one of Sofiah's favorite subject. The class was cheerful and the teacher was very enjoyable and funny.
Mihai's seat was away from Sofiah. But later Mihai moved to sit next to Sofiah.
"Radu was right about you." Sofiah surprised while hearing suddens voice which came from next to her.
"Oh, you!" said Sofiah surprised.
"Yep, sorry I didn't asked you a permission to take this seat" apology Mihai.
"Never mind." answered Sofiah and she continued writing."So what did he said about me?"
"Intelligent and an emphatic girl.." said Mihai and made Sofiah laughed.
"And what are you doing here?" asked Sofiah wondered followed with professor voice says "Ok, the game is over! See you again soon!"
"Just curious." answered Mihai.
"Curious about the lesson?" asked Sofiah.
"Neah, nothing about it."
And the Sofiah got up and says "Ok, I have to go back to the hostel and I'll see you again right?"
"Aha, yeah right." said Mihai who was wanted to follow her where she would go. "I think sometime I would learn some things from you"
"I think you are smarter than me. And I think I should've asked you for that." said Sofiah to Mihai who was acting weird.
"I'll be always ready for that! Anytime"said Mihai."Okay.see you then at the club!" Mihai continued and then he left.
"Club?" said Sofiah surprised. "Hey! Are you kidding me??!!" she shouted to Mihai which was no longer there.
"da...da...acuma! " Radu answered. He still stared at Sofiah. And he says "Great, thanks. I have things to do out of the campus, and I really have to go." He ran immediately through Mihai. and made Sofiah speechless because he left so early.
