## 🩷 Chapter 4: *Hostel Diaries – First Day in the Girls' Hostel*
**Timeframe:** This chapter happens *just days after* Varun becomes Maya and before her official meeting with Aarav. Padma aunty decides that Maya should start living in the **girls’ hostel of the co-ed college** to maintain her new identity and blend in naturally.

### 🏢 The Arrival
The hostel gate creaked as Maya stepped in, wheeling a modest trolley bag and clutching a dupatta nervously across her chest. Her ID card—newly printed—read:
> **Name:** Maya V
> **Course:** B.Sc. Psychology
> **Gender:** Female
As she signed the register, the warden, a strict-looking but kind-hearted woman, glanced at Maya. “New transfer student? You’ll be in Room 108, second floor. Girls will help you settle.”
Maya nodded silently, swallowing a lump in her throat.

### 👠Room 108 – The Roommates
Inside the room, two bubbly girls looked up.
- **Divya:** Bold, makeup-obsessed, with an iPhone always in hand.
- **Revathi:** Sweet, shy, and obsessed with stationery and romance novels.
“Ooh! You must be Maya!” Divya chirped. “Finally, a quiet girl—not like that Nithya who used to blast Gaana songs every night.”
Maya managed a soft “Hi…”
“Sit! We’ll help unpack,” Revathi smiled.
And just like that… she was one of them.

### 🩲 The First Bra Talk
As they changed for the night, Maya turned away awkwardly. But Divya noticed the hesitation.
“Don’t be shy yaar, we’re all girls here!” Divya giggled, slipping into her nighty.
Revathi looked at Maya’s chest and said softly, “You wear a padded one, ah? Same like me, paavam flat-chested.”
Maya nodded, cheeks red. Inside, her prosthetic breasts were held snug in a soft cotton bra. She felt the gentle pressure, the fake yet *real-feeling* weight tugging at her body.

### 🩸 Period Panic
At 3 AM, she woke up to a slight *dampness* between her legs. Confused and panicked, she rushed to the bathroom.
It had started—the **menstrual simulation capsule had dissolved**.
Thick reddish discharge stained her underwear.
She cried softly, sitting on the toilet seat, overwhelmed by the reality of being a girl.
Luckily, Revathi, half-asleep, knocked and passed her a pad.
“It’s okay, first time is always scary,” she yawned. “Don’t worry… we’ve got you.”
Maya wiped her tears. Not from pain—but from gratitude.

### 🌸 Diary Entry
> **Dear Diary,**
> *Today I didn’t just pretend. I bled, I cried, I laughed with other girls. I had to hide everything... but I also saw what it’s like to be one of them.
> Is this still Varun’s journey? Or is it Maya’s life now? I don’t know…*
>
> – Love,
> Maya
