“Please mom just ten more mins”, maya said moaningly.

“It won’t be nicer, if you go to college late on the very first day. Wake up and get ready”

Maya woke up and went to take a refreshing shower.

After shower, she got ready and hurried to move to her college.

“Bye mom, I am going”, said maya in a hurry bury mood.

“No stop, you are not going anywhere without taking breakfast”, maya’s mom rushed out from kitchen with a plate of dosa in it.

“Mom, it’s late, I will have it in college canteen. Cya love you”, maya run towards bus stop without waiting for an answer from her mom.

Finally she got into a bus which is almost full and no place to seat. She managed to stand by holding the bars of the bus. When the bus started to move, she missed the balance and dropped the coins in her hand, which she kept for taking ticket on a boy’s head, who was sitting in the seat and immersed in reading a book.

“Ouch”, screamed the boy.

Maya said,“Oh I am sorry”.

Rubbing his head with one hand, without moving his eyes from book, the boy replied, “It’s ok”.

After sometime, the boy screamed again.

Boy: Ouch

Maya: What happened now?

Boy: Awww, my foot
