Shakuntala found the cafeteria, and grabbed some good. She sat by herself, and slowly ate her food, looking about. She didn't know what to do, or who to go talk to. She didn't want to go back to te dorm room, bd back to "lady arrogance" of a roommate, but didn't know where else she could go. Eventually she signed as she finished eating, wishing she knew someone friendly. Wishing se was back gown, with her father and brothers. But she wasn't and she never could again. 

She sighed, pushing away her half finished plate of food, and rose, pushing her hands into her pockets, she began to wander, until she reached the dorm room again and she sighed again, opening the door and going to her bed without looking around, and sat on the bed, knees to her chest, arms wrapped around them, as she stared at the wall with her plaster images of her family. 

She missed them greatly, and not for the first time, she doubted her ability to love without them, and to so what she wanted to do. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply, wondering what she was doing here and decided she just wanted classes to start, then she could talk with others, and wraps banish the unfriendliness of her room mate.
