Neighbour Next Door

4) P-Professor-?

Mallika's POV:

Ring... ring... ring...

"Morning dad. " I answer.

"Morning sweetheart. Get ready, don't be late and sometimes remember this old man too after your busy schedules. " He tells me.

"OH SHIT!  Sorrrryy dad. I'll just call you after college. Take care. Bbye! " I hang up.

9: 31 AM. 
Great start.

College gate closes at 10: 15 and even if I leave at 9: 45, I may reach at 10: 10.
SO RUSHHHH! 

I quickly got ready in 9 mins!
Yes, that's my talent and ran towards the elevator.

Pri called me, but I ignored knowing I'm late.

"Morning kakaa! " I say and he waves at me.

"bhaiyaa, LSP! " I say and sit in the autoriksha.

I reach exactly at 10: 10 and the doors were open!
Thank god!

I greeted the guard with my daily salute and walked inside.

I open my mobile and my first class is at
10: 20.
Okay, I've a few mins.

I walked towards the left building when I bumped into somebody. " Sorry! "

It has Vihaan. "It's okay!  Morning Vihan. How was the match? " I ask.

"Didn't your Jun tell you?  He lost. " He mocks.

"He didn't played. " I defended.

"Half match M. He played half, then got injured. Anyways, it was go-"

Before he could say, I left seeing a familiar face. I rushed there. "Excuse me! " I say and the man turned.

"YOU? " We both yell in unison.

But just then the bell rang and I had to leave for my class. He was also called by some professor.

_

The first class was going, Statistics but I couldn't register a single word.

What the hell is my neighbor doing in my college? 

Did he joined some degree here?

But why didn't he told me? 

He said, his work starts from Monday? 

What will be his work? 

It's time for economics class and Mr. Sharma had already resigned.

And I'm glad he did.

He was the worst professor here, and economics isn't a very cool subject. I barely pass in economics.

"You heard the new economics Professor is young is very handsome. "

"Drop-dead gorgeous! " And as usual the started whispering.
Idiots.

Mr. Malhotra, our dean entered and we all stood up.

"Morning dear students!  We've finally got you a very well Professor for Economics. Age is just a number, and youngsters are very capable now a days, please welcome your new Professor,

Professor Sumedh Aggarwal!  

I looked up and sucked in my breath! 

MR. NEIGHBOR  IS MY PROFESSOR! 

He didn't seem to notice me I guess. And when his eyes met mine, he didn't looked surprised.

I raised a brow, but he just shrugged!
He bloody shrugged.
