her.
She spoke from behind me.
'Okay, I get it. I'm a girl. I’m allowed some drama sometimes.’
‘Really?'
‘Well, I said sorry, too.'
‘Whatever. By the way, your cardigan is still with me at the
residence.'
'Oh, please get it to college tomorrow. It's my favourite.'
'You want to come pick it up? You wanted to see my room, right?’ I
said She raised an eyebrow.
'Really? But how?’
There's a system, it involves me making the guards happy while
you rush Inside,'
'You'll sneak me in?' she said, her eyes opening wide. 'You won't be
the first girl to some to the residences,’
We walked towards the briek-lined path to Rudra-North. She
stopped a few steps before I reached Rudra.
'What if we get caught?' she said.
'I’ll be expelled, but they’ll spare you. You're a girl and your father
will have enough contacts,’
'So?’
'Let's do it,’ I said.
l went up to the guard. I followed the code; told him to cheek out a
problem in the bathroom, and slipped him fifty rupees. He had done it
for others before so he quiekly understood. He saw Riya in the
distance.
‘Is she from outside or a student?' the guard said.
‘What do you care?' I said.
'Just in ease there’s any trouble later.'
'Will there be trouble?'
'No, Make sure she leaves in thirty minutes. No guarantee with the
new guard.'
