Arjun was not very famous and not very handsome that girls went crazy over him. Infact he didn't speak much to any girls and so he went un-noticed, nor he spoke much of girls and nor the girls paid any heat to him. Yesterday when Maria was in the park with the rest of the girls she noticed the boy riding the bike. His messed up look and the sprouting nerves on his arm and his muscle lines over his shirt was quite attractive for Maria. Her gaze followed Arjun till he walked into the reception. In the dining table in the evening she resisted herself to ask about Arjun to Neha and Arushi but she realised that he was sitting right behind her with his friends. She guessed that he was a year junior as he sat with boys from the lower grade that was class ten. She didn't know why she felt awkward and how much she wanted the night to end.

Arjun was back to his den. Every night Arjun was the last person to fall asleep. That would often be very late in the night or very early in the morning. Often when all of his friends would sleep and he couldn't he went to the terrace. He had the guards under control as he gave them money as bribe. He would sit on a railing on the terrace swinging his legs over the fifth floor. He hid liqour within his room and would drink very often over here. This was his spot. His friends were very afraid that someday some unfortune could happen and Arjun may fall and they tried to talk to him but he always abused and shruged them off.

Sitting there holding a glass of liqour and a lit up cigarette he would think. He had various thoughts of his life and his past. But that day he had one more thought. He had heard the eleventhers shouting Maria so he guessed Maria was her name. When he came walking from the park he noiced her looking at him but then he thought himself to be very stupid. He came to know she was from America as Maria Smith was a big topic of discussion in the boys hostel. Then he again thought that she looked at him in the cafeteria and he felt like he saw her looking and just when their eyes met she reverted and turned back suddenly. He again slapped his head and he thought himself to be an even bigger stupid. He realised he was smiling. She was beautiful. He had had realised her hair curling at the end with a fine brownish sade. He couldn't resist looing at her fine curves and her hips. He slapped his head again and said "Angels sometimes come to the earth, dogs never fly!".
