Moody Blues and Lavender Dreams- Ch-4- A Meeting

Ch4- A Meeting

After a major break-up (that's what every heartbroken person thinks. .that they have gone through the most dreadful break up ever). . I was meant to be sad and depressed. . even loony at times. . But if i managed to pass my 12th boards with this break-up, i can manage through this sickness too. .

I got admission in the most reputed college. . My dream come true !!
Thanks to my intuition and thought regarding my parents. . and their future. . I somehow managed to get good marks enough to get into a reputed college in my city. .

I'm a girl with an Extrovert nature but i always suffer from starting trouble i.e. i don't get adapted to new environment easily. . But a new life in a new environment surely excited me very much. . I thought it would be damn adventurous. . But high expectations can hurt you some way or the other. .

First day of your college. . Exciting and scaring at its best !!
I heard from my seniors that ragging was at its peak more in reputed colleges than in any other colleges. . all spoiled brats harassing normal people. .

I decided to dress in the most simplest dress ever. . So that i won't attract any seniors . . No No not in that sense. . I meant i didn't want to attract them so that they can rag me. .

For the last time i looked at the mirror and headed off to my new destination with my bag on my shoulders. .
At door step. . my mom hugged me goodbye and wished me good luck. .

I got into the college bus and was scared to see hundred eyes staring at you. .just because you are a first year student. . I sat down on one empty seat near the window. .
Then suddenly felt someone sitting down near me. . I looked at that the girl. . she seemed very confident. . I just became indifferent and looked outside the window. .

She: Hey hi, I'm Aradhana What about u? I can see you are very nervous. .
Me: Err. . **How come she came to recognise** Hi. . I'm Poorvi. . Ya **Smiling anxiously** Just the first day college effect. .
She: Oh wow. . So even you are a first year. . Cool **Winking** So which department?
Me: B.com !!
She: Ah! wow. . Same here. . So same class huh? Then we can be together. . What say ?
Me: Ya sure. . **Smiling, Good. . i made friends on my first day**

Then the bus came to a stop. . We reached the college. . Hmm Hmm. . lets see what the whole day has kept in store for me and others. .

Me and Aradhana both headed inside the college when someone from the side called us both. .

As i expected seniors. . the spoiled brats of this college . . waiting to pounce on normal people to rag them. . How dumb of them!! Total jobless people. .

As we headed towards them i saw. . a gang of 5-6 guys. . some sitting on the bikes and some standing and giving wicked looks and smiles. .
**Rolling eyes**

The most prominent was two guys. . One. . Well built like hunk types. . wearing low waist jeans and a white Tshirt. . Group leader. .
Another guy next to him was smiling at me. . Black jeans and Kakhi colour shirt sleeves folded up to his elbows. .

We both went near them. .
The Hunk type guy came near us and started encircling us. .
I was getting conscious but i saw Aradhana was very cool minded. . as though she was not scared about this whole ragging thing. . Oh god. . why can't i be like her?

He: So What's your name? **Looking at me**
Me: Er. . Poorvi. .
He: Oh Oh. . Which department?
Me: Commerce. .
He: Oh Good. . My Department huh? Then We will get to see each other lot of times. . **Winking**
I was turned my face to the other side. . URGH ! He is getting into my nerves. .
He: What about you? What's your name?
She: Aradhana. . **very coolly**
He: Oh. .Same department or What?
She: Yeah!! **Raising her one eyebrow**
He: Ah ! you seem very confident. . Usually girls get scared and nervous on their first day to college. . But you are like so different **getting close to her**
She: That's because I'm not scared of brats like you. . **she snapped back**
He: So here comes a stubborn Little girl. . **Turning to the guys behind** So What do we do with this girl huh ?

I pulled her to my side and asked : What are you upto? You could have just kept your mouth shut. . See now you are inviting troubles for yourself. .**i was getting hyper totally**
She: Wait and see. . Next time they wouldn't dare to trouble us. . They want us to get scared but if we don't get scared it will be an insult for them. . So just be confident and face it. .

While we were whispering to each other. . The other guy got up from his bike and called out to us. .

He: Ok you daring girl. . Show me how daring you are ?
She: Like ?
He: Kiss me **touching his cheeks** infront of everyone. .
My eyes went wide open in shock. . All the guys started laughing and hi5-ying each other. .

Before i could argue with Aradhana about it. . I saw she walked towards second guy. . She pulled his face towards her and just kissed him coolly. .
WHATTTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Is she gone Insane ?
All the other guys started Hooting and Howling. .

Before i could recover from the shock. . Aradhana pulled me and walked off from them. .
I just turned back to see the second guy staring and smiling crookedly at me. . touching his cheeks. .
When i made a disgusted expression, He winked at me. .

URGH ! that's too much. . i just left it and walked into the college. .
Such a bad day altogther i guess. . I thought. . Surely it was. . and Aradhana owed me an explanation for such an act. .

Me: Why did you do that? See that guy will be behind you from now on. . he won't leave you alone. .Gosh. . you saw his face. . it was as though he is the king of this world. .Urgh ** I went on and on without a fullstop **
She: Chill Poorvi. . Sometimes you need to take things lightly. . Don't get hyper. . and this is only college life. . seniors will rag you. . its better we just do as they say. . Who knows ? if we don't listen they will bug us more. . So i finished for once and for all. . Anyways that guy was kinda cute you know **winking** Kissing a cute guy is not an offence after all. .
Me: Yeah yeah **Rolling eyes**
She: Its okie yaar. . Chal. . lets go to our class. . **Pulling me with her**
Me: yeah yeah come. .

The whole day went boring. .Obviously. .Who in the world likes lectures and studies. .

Aradhana was a easy girl to talk with. . She was fun loving. . She didn't care what other people thought. . she had her own way of enjoying life. . and i somehow liked it. .

While we were heading to college bus in the parking lot. . i saw the guys from the morning. .
The two prominent guys saw us coming and got off their bikes. . they started walking towards us. .
I got conscious and started looking here and there. .
Aradhana was as usual at ease. .

They came and stood infront of us. .
The Hunk guy stretched his hands to Aradhana for an handshake. .
He: Hi. . I'm Hari. . And Don't mind about the morning issue. . It was just a tit for tat kinda thing. . Our seniors ragged us. . So we are ragging our juniors. . Its more like an interactive session and we were just playing with you. .
She: **with a raised eyebrow** Oh yeah. . So we seem like some dolls for you to play with. .
He: Hehe. . No ! But it was fun playing with you. . If it was someone else. . they would have almost cried on the spot. . But you are very Gutsy. . I must say I'm Impressed. .
She: Thank you ! **In an Indifferent tone**

When this little chit-chat was going on between Aradhana and Hari. . I felt someone was staring at me. . To find the other guy smiling at me when i looked at him. . i just let my gaze fall down and stared the ground below. .

Then i heard a faint hello. . I looked up to see he was stretching his hand out for an handshake. .
He: Hi. . I'm Pritvi. .
Me: Oh yeah Hi. .
He: Er. . You seem to be very silent. .
Me: Yeah i suffer from starting problem. .
He: Don't worry. . I'll make you fine. . **Winking**
Me: Ah ?!?! **Totally blank**
Why do he have to wink for every single comment made. .
Me: tell me something ?
He: Yeah?
Me: Do you have something wrong with your eyes. . It blinks alot. .especially your right eyes. .
He: Hahaha!! No no. . Its normal. . I don't know why it just automatically blinks after seeing you. . **again winking** See. . its not my fault at all. .
Me: URGH !! **flirttt** Very convincing. . **Rolling eyes**
He: hehe! Good to know you are convinced with it. .

Our talk was interrupted by Aradhana When she told it was almost time and the bus would leave in few minutes. .

So We just waved them good-bye and entered the bus. . and sat down. .
I saw Aradhana was kinda irritated. . and she didn't look at them. . I just smiled and the bus left from the college. .

Me: What happened to you now ? Did he tell anything to you ?
She: What does he think of himself. . Just because he is from a rich family and have lot of money. . he feels he has conquered the whole world. . He feels he can do the same with a girl too. .
Me: Huh ? I didn't get you. .
She: It seems he likes me. . Its like love at first sight for him it seems. . How idiotic a guy can get?
Me: Its okies. . Don't get hyper. . Just ignore him for few days. . He will get back to his old routine. . It might be some kinda dare or prank. . You don't give way for it. .
She: Yeah. . Guys are guys. . can't believe any one of them. .
Me: yeah. .Chal leave it. . don't get worried. . Guys know. . After few days we can see them walking behind another girl. . **started laughing**
She: Hehe Yeah !!

Then that matter was closed. .
When my stop came i got down and bid her good-bye. .
She smiled and waved me good-bye. .

When i entered my house. . I was just too tired to sit and have something to eat. . I went straight to my room. . And lied down. . Hugging my pillow i didn't know when i drifted into deep sleep. .
