Induction Session 2

Everything happens with a reason. Thats why, we found Rahul's room in front of our rooms on the very first day of our hostel. That day we, three friends chat late night. We talked about our past, present and planned future. We also talked about college, hostel, girls, sex and a lot of stuff. And, we forgot about the assignment. On next day morning, at about 5, Rahul came to my room and handed over the assignment and said "Copy it dude and pass to Shiva". My sleepy brain couldn't make out anything till I opened the fist page. On the first page, it was written "Assignment on Net-Worth. Presented by Rahul Sharma to National Engineering Institute, Mumbai". "Shit" I shouted and said to myself how can I forget this. Without wasting any more time, I started copying it. To my surprise, I found that Rahul has made the assignment for 27 odd pages. The assignment was in no way less than any real one. He didn't forget to mention the subject line, the number of hours he spent on the test and with whom and described everything with proper pictures. Rahul was a perfectionist and he missed nothing in the report. I made a carbon copy of the whole assignment except the data points and rushed to Shiva's room to handover that. To my surprise, Shiva has already made for himself with actual data. I don't know how. We got ready and set for our classes at 7:30. In the lunch break, we headed towards room no 205 for Induction Session 2.

As per the rule, we asked for the permission in the unique way and made our entry. This time, the room was filled with some new faces. One of the senior took us to a different line and the session 2 started.

"Have you fuckers done with your assignment" A senior asked.

"Yes Sir" we replied and handed over the assignment.

The senior looked at the reports and started reading them loudly.

"Vijay: 1.4 million grams. Shiva: 2.5 million grams. And Rahul: 0.3 million grams".

"Rahul, your net worth is too disappointing. We have a lots of hope on you." Another senior made joke of him. Then he grabbed his assignment and surprised in the same way as I did.

"Oops, you really made a good job. The report looks pretty, man". The senior patted Rahul on the back and showed the report to the other freshers and told them to make something like that.

Shiva and I just entertained some other seniors for half an hour and then we are asked about our girlfriends. Some silly, unexpected questions are asked and we also answered unexpectedly. But, Rahul behaved odd when he was asked about his girlfriend.

"Do you have a girlfriend" A senior asked Rahul.

"No, Sir". Rahul answered and his cheerful and smiling face suddenly turned into a tensed one.

"Did you ever had a girlfriend"

"Yes Sir"

"What happened then? Where is she now?"

"I don't know, Sir. She dumped me"

"Gooood, what did you do to her. Have you tried to fuck her"?

"No sir"

"Ohhhhh, thats why she dumped you. Be a man, Rahul. Look, your net worth is too low. If it continues, everyone will dump you".

Then the seniors started making fun of him and Rahul just stared everybody without saying a word. He was a different Rahul standing in that room, at least different than we met the day before.
