As soon as the clock stroke 7,the alarm start ringing but surprisingly Gunjan Bhushan was already wide awake before the nasty ring of alarm can alert her to be ready for her first day at college.She barely slept last night.There were two reasons for this:firstly Nupur had left the house last night and so she was missing her and secondly the thought about her new college was haunting her.She knew she would be okay but it was really hard for her to get mix up with new people around her and what might they think about her after seeing her for the very first time?Will she be able to face them?co-operate with them?
All these questions kept disturbing her for the whole night and so giving up,she finally got up from her bed and started to get ready for her first day.Without disturbing her mom,she made her breakfast and left the house as soon as it got over.Finally she reached her college and soon found her friend Ashwini on the gates,waiting for her.She approached her but Ashwini looked tense when she came near her
"Kya hua Ashwini?Are you alright?Tum itni pareshaan kyun lag rahi ho"Gunjan spoke to a worried Ash.
"Tension ki baat hai isliye hi pareshaan hoon Gunjan"
"Par aisy kya baat hai jo tumhay subha subha pareshan kar rahi hai?"
"Gunjan baat meri nahi baat tumhari hai.Tum jaanti nahi ho yahan kay students ko.Ye aisay aisay mazaak kar saktay hain jo tumhay hurt kar saktay hain aur main iss liye tumharay liye worried hoon"Spoke a concerned Ash.
Gunjan smiled"Don,t worry I,ll be okay and I don,t need to worry when my best pal is with me"on which Ashwini nodded.But whom Gunjan was lieing to?her heart which knew her real feelings right now that how much nervous and how much terrified she was.In such a state,she start walking with Ashwini towards the enterance and soon they both stepped in.Sadly Ash had a different section so they soon got sperated and now the poor innocent soul was now on her own.
She crossed many places which included Library as well but now she had to pass near the basketball room.She didn,t dared to look in that direction where the team of this college was practicing for their next match.Shyness and nervousness crept over her and she lowered her eyes while walking from that path.She grew more uncomfortable when she realised that someone was staring her from the court but she continued to walk when'.
Never knew who did it but her books were all scattered on the floor now due to that HIT which she got from that basket ball."Blind and Idiot people"were the two words she muttered when she bent down to collect her books.Irritated she was,how can someone be so blind?Can,t they see a tall girl walking from this path?"Well I guess people need specs more than I do"She thought in irritation.Trying to reach the last book,her head accidentally got hit by someone who was trying to get the same book for her.
"Ouch"she said while moving her face to see the person who was trying to help her."I,m really sorry"He said as he looked into her light brown eyes.The world seemed to be stop at the moment as their eyes met.
A few mins before,Samrat was practicing with his team for his upcoming match.He liked it when the girls hoot for him while practicing and he seemed to enjoy all the cute glances and stares which all the girls gave while passing from the court.This showed that how much girls were crazy after him and boys,they use to admire him from the start and that includes his team members as well.He was a perfect captain for them and for the no one can replace his place.He had been practicing with them from the last 30 mins but now he was totally exhausted and all sweated up.He aimed for his last basket but a girl walking in the corner caught his eyes.
There was something in her which forced him to look at her rather than the basket.He wasn,t able to see her face as she had lowered it for some reason but he kept staring at her lovingly as her simplicity,which was something very unique these days, attacrted him.A voice of his team mate broke his attention and finally he aimed for the basket but itnstead of the basket it hit the girl whom he was looking from the court.Worried,he left the court and approached to help her but she already had collected her books but still 1 was left.He tried to get that last one but in the process he bumped his head with her."I am really sorry"he spoke and as she moved her face towards his direction,their eyes met..
