Lovers Lane (OS & SS Gallery)

She took a deep breath in an attempt to relieve the nervousness she was experiencing simultaneously with the sense of ecstasy and liberty. It was her first day of college. She was standing in front of the entrance to the most popular institution of business management of the country. She looked up and offered a little prayer to the Almighty and thanked the Almighty for fufilling her dreams to get admission in the renowned institution. She put the stray strands of her waist length, black, silky hair behind her ears using her fingers which were falling on her face time n again due to the slow breeze which seemed to be much eager to play with the silky locks. She was dressed in a sea green suit and fitted salwar with her dupatta draped around her shoulders gracefully. The tinkling of her matching green glass bangles n her anklets was adding even more charm to the graceful aura that surrounded her. Her hazel green eyes were filled with naivety yet a strong determination. She took small but steady steps towards the entrance and entered into a new world which was till that moment unknown to her, a never seen before world. She knew that she had stepped inside another world and that everything was going to be different as she glanced around the campus. But little did she know that she had entered into the arena of someone's life who was going to change her life too.

******************************************************************

He was settled on the top of a desk and was surrounded by the group of his friends who were settled on the seats circling the desk. His tall, strong built and well toned figure was making itself stand out among the rest of his companions. The naughty breeze was playing with his light brown hair, messing his already messed up hair. He seemed to be least bothered and was more engrossed in conversation with his companions. Occassionally he was flashing his charming smile which was enough to mesmerize a girl and make her go gaga over him. Actually it had already set on its mission of making every girl passing by skip heart beats. But again he was least bothered about the girls who were gawking at him with an intense hankering. Suddenly another guy of his age approached him n as he neared him he whispered something in his ears and it was then that he looked up. As he looked up, his oceanic blue eyes ransacked the crowdy campus in search of some particular person and soon her gaze collided with a natural beauty. His lips curved into a mischievous smile as he listened patiently to his friend. He was confident as he was well aware of the fact that no girl could resist his charm. But little did he knew that the girl in question was no other random girl and that mere looks couldnt impress her as she would go for one's personality and not for one's outward appearance. He smirked with his eyes fixed on his target. He pushed away the chair in which he was resting his feet by kicking them off with force and jumped off the desk. He brushed off his hands in his dark blue denim jeans to clean off the little bits of dust covering them and then he ran his hands through his black hi-neck tee to straighten it up. All his friends also got up by the time. The guy standing beside him finally asked : " So Veer! Are you gonna do it?"

Veer smirked : "Yup dude. You know me, right Harsh? Veer never backs out from a challenge."

Harsh chuckled : "You are incorrigible man. Fine go on then. All the best dude."

Veer smirked and winked : " Thanks dude. Though I dont need it."

Veer strode off towards his target leaving behind a chuckling Harsh.

She was mesmerized with the sight of the colossal campus of the institution and was staring mesmerized at her surroundings while strolling through the campus as there was time for classes n also she needed to ask someone the directions. Out of blue she felt fingers wrapping around her wrist and the next moment she was jerked forward and jammed into some guy's chest. She looked up only to see an incredibly handsome face and her hazel green eyes collided with a pair of oceanic blue eyes.And the next second she froze as she felt his lips on the delicate skin of her cheek, a shiver ran down her spine. The contact was momentary and Veer straightened up the next second. She looked up at him. Her face was adorned with an expression of fury and incredulity. Veer , on the other hand, was apparently oblivious of the vehemence that flashed in her eyes or perhaps had chosen to ignore it. He smiled brazenly and winked at her.

Veer : "Sorry babes! Had no choice you see. I'm Veer btw. And you are?"

The girl was even more incensed by his audacity. She flashed a formidably soft and sugary sweet smile at him and the next moment stomped hard on his foot with her 3 inch high heel causing him to yelp in pain.

She blinked her eyelashes naively and replied : "Sorry dude! Had no choice you see. I'm Ananya btw."

Ananya flounced away leaving behind Veer whimpering in pain. Veer was whimpering in pain and was limping while gaping incredulously at the direction where she dissapeared moments before. He whirled around as reels of laughter reached his ears only to find Harsh rolling in laughter.

Harsh (still laughing crazily) : "Wow man! That was a real miracle. A girl actually hit you and not hit on you. A genuine salute to whoever she was."

Veer : "You! (He tried to dash to him but failed miserably as his injured feet betrayed him, causing him to moan again in pain) Aaaow!"

This geared up Harsh's laughter even more which, in turn, fuelled Veer's fury.

******************************************************************

Ananya was walking down a corridor which led to her first class when suddenly a hand enclosed around her wrist and dragged her inside a semi dark room that had the appearance of a store room with broken furnitures and other litter scattered everywhere in the room. She shut her eyes tight out of trepidation and was about to squeal when a whispering commanding voice boomed in the otherwise tranquile room.

Voice : " How dare you affront me like that in the presence of my friends?"

As soon as the voice was registered in her mind, she recognized instantaneously the familiar and haughty voice and opened her eyes to meet the same blue eyes. She found herself staring at the same handsome face of that conceited brat, as she considered him. Fright was replaced in her eyes by fury.

Ananya replied furiously or rather questioned him back : "How dare you kiss me?"

Veer : " That was a bet damn it. Nothing else. (Then he smirked) But to tell you the truth, I enjoyed it like never before."

Ananya : "You are nauseating. I am no random girl on whom you can play your crappy bets. Got it? Now move and let go of me or else I surely wont mind stomping over your sweet little feet twice or maybe thrice."

She pushed him off her as he immediately slackened his hold on her, knowing it way too well that she wouldn't hesitate a moment before putting her words into action if he contravene her words. Throwing a lethal glare towards him she strode out of the room. Veer ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

Veer : "Man! She is a real wild cat. But this wild cat doesn't know that this time she has challenged king lion. I'm so not gonna let you live in peace sweetheart from now on. Let the war begin."

With an evil smirk he too left the room.

******************************************************************

As Veer entered the class, his eyes began to scan the population of the class room in search of some particular person and soon his eyes found their destination. There she was sitting on the third desk from the second row alongwith another girl, chatting and giggling. Veer walked towards the rows and settled down on the thrid row on the seat beside Ananya. Ananya felt someone's gaze on her. She looked up and as her eyes darted hither and thither soon her gaze collided with an intense one. She scrunched her nose as he smirked at her and winked. She immediately shifted her gaze.

Soon the professor entered and the lesson commensed. Though Ananya was concentrating fully on the lecture, Veer's mind was hovering somewhere else. He was busy making plans to get on her nerves. Soon an idea crossed across his mind causing his lips to curve into a impish smirk. The next moment he tore a piece of paper from his diary n scribbled down something on it. Rolling the paper into the shape of a ball, he aimed at Ananya n threw it on her direction. It hit the side of her head and placed itself neatly on her lap causing her to look up from her notes. Her eyes darted hither n thither in an attempt to locate the thing that hit her n shattered her concentration n it was then that her gaze fall on the small paper ball lying innocently on her lap. She picked it up n unfolded it. It consisted of only two words which incensed her :

Hey queen of monsters

She looked up from the paper to locate the source from which it came and soon her eyes were attracted by a guy who was smiling n as she glowered at him he waved his hand to n winked at her leaving her not a bit dubious about the identity of the culprit. Veer chuckled seeing Ananya literally fuming. Ananya couldnt control her anger n finally fall on his trap.

She began to retort angrily " You ..."

But before she could come up with an apt n sharp retort, to her bad luck n in accordance with Veer's plan, the professor turned around n glowered at her.

Prof : " What do you think you are doing? In case you havent noticed a class is going on here n if you are so not interested than you are free to go anywhere of your choice."

Ananya looked down directing her gaze to the floor n mumbled : " Sorry ma'm! It wont happen again."

Prof : " It better not."

The professor turned back n resumed teaching. Ananya gave a lethal glare to Veer who was chuckling silently yet blatantly. Though it infuriated her but she kept her cool this time. However at the same time she made up her mind to give him a taste of his own medicine. She again gathered her attention n tried to concentrate on the lecture.

******************************************************************

(Canteen)

Veer was engrossed in chat with his friends when suddenly he felt some cold liquour pouring over him and before he could react his face n the upper part of his tee was drenched. He wiped the water off his eyes which blurred his vision. Water was dripping down on his shoulders from his wet hair. He looked up only to see Ananya with her lips curved into an evil smirk and a bottle dangling from her hand.

Veer got up from his seat with a jerk n questioned through gritted teeth : " What the hell do you think you are doing?"

Ananya snapped back : " Washing off the filthy ideas that hover inside your filthy head."

And then without giving him a single oppurtunity to react or retort back she strode away.

This was the very inception of their enmity. Days passed in whirl but instead of diminishing their enmity apparently reached new levels with each passing day. They seemed to be waiting to teach each other lessons n play pranks n seek revenge on each other. They apparently abhor each other from the core of their hearts. But did they really abhor each other?Well atleast not Ananya perhaps as in all these days she had observed quite a new and different side of Veer, a caring and benevolent person domiciling within the apparently snooty and conceited brat.

The reminiscense of that fateful night was still very much clear in her memory. It was a dark, murky night and she was extremely late due to the extra lectures she had to attend.

Abhay smirked : "Yup dude. You know me, right Kabir? Abhay never backs out from a challenge."

Kabir chuckled : "You are incorrigible man. Fine go on then. All the best dude."

Abhay smirked and winked : " Thanks dude. Though I dont need it."

Abhay strode off towards his target leaving behind a chuckling Kabir.

Piya flounced away leaving behind Abhay whimpering in pain. Abhay was whimpering in pain and was limping while gaping incredulously at the direction where she dissapeared moments before. He whirled around as reels of laughter perforated his eardrums only to find Kabir rolling in laughter.

Kabir (still laughing crazily) : "Wow man! That was a real miracle. A girl actually hit you and not hit on you. A genuine salute to whoever she was."

Armaan was engrossed in chat with his friends when suddenly he felt some cold liquour pouring over him and before he could react his face n the upper part of his tee was drenched.
