College Life, The years which are awaited by all, some love the feeling of being free while the others engrossed themselves in the outside world. These few years contained every ups and downs, the times when u would do anything to be Mr. or Ms. Popular, the times u chose friends who would never value your true worth and most of all falling in love... Break ups, tragedy, sorrow, pleasure, love, lust, these were the emotions attached to u.
At times you couldnt make out what was love, LOVE- the four letter word was the strongest ever. It stood on its own, made up of just 4 letters but that one word was power, many died for love, many hurt themselves just to see their love happy. Even if u search in the most ancient books, no one can define love, the only word which can be felt not studied or byhearted.
Many ask, Romeo-Juliet, Majnu-Laila, why did they sacrifice for eachother, was their love true, is this just fiction? A bunch of questions come to your mind but they lay forever answered, with just one answer, they were in love...
Lust, attraction, love are completely different from eachother, love is not lust or even attraction. Love is something which falls in category much more higher than that, love cant be just temporary, if its said so, its not love, that feeling is left alone as lust or attraction. Times come when you are betrayed, times when you enter a deep slumber of only pain, no one can ever forget, love floods with sorrow along with pleasure. Aphrodite or Venus, whatever you choose, she still remains the Godess Of Love, the reason love can be felt for only one...

Love was a belief for me, stories engaged me into those mixtures of love, each of them ending in beautiful shades of colours. My college life had started, my first day arrived, my stomach giggling with butterflies, my hands trembling, my eyes in search of a few friends, my heart with a hope to be accepted. I wasnt the same like I had been when I was just 15, I was more mature now and more closed up. I stayed an open book for all but little did anyone know, I was diary bursting with mysteries, secrets and desires.
My name is Kriya Ghai, a 18 year old like any other, my simpleness shut that mystery-revealing-diary but no matter what, I loved being friends with people who valued your true worth not what they wanted you to be. Every breathing of mine showed off only one word, Fashion. I loved fashion a lot but compare it with dance, it would lose badly. Dance was my passion, my desire and my love, it was the only thing which revealed even the deepest emotions burried in the darkest corner of my beating heart. No one knew I write, no one knows how much I love writing not do they know about my dance. Being shy is my only weakness, the reason I cant display my talents in a museum. Whatever happens, I love my life, each day getting more and more special.
Mom dropped me to college that day, even after my continuous pleads but moms were always mom, listening to us wasnt just in their blood. I got out of the car.
The sight in front startled me, who would have seen a better college than this, the exteriors itself were breathtaking, just thinking about the interiors gave me goosebumps. The entrance was surrounded by a row green,lush bushes blooming with flowers in the rains, the college designed like a castle, the main building surrounded by 4 towers, the sparkling colours blowing my mind away. The college was just perfect, opting for St. Louis as my hostel-home-college was the best decision I had ever made. St. Louis, the best college for arts, not only arts, it topped in every challenging field of career. Doors of nervousness shut themselves, windows letting the squeals of excitements flow through. From that day, I had entered a different world filled with challenges, a world where I had to prove my self in every way let it be friendship,love or even career.
I walked inside the college. I was right, the interiors were much better that the exterior. Every corner shouted for attention, the lights lightening up the unique designs, the furniture destined to belong here. Just then I heard, announcers booming with news, every student perfecting their appearance, their faces lit up. My thoughts raced, I didnt know what was happening, everyone just knew the right thing to do except for me. I found out later, the reason for all this chaos.
Reyaansh Singhania entered the college, he stood welcomed by every one and other, afterall he was THE DAZZLING! He wore a white plain shirt, leaving two of his buttons left opened, none of the girls could stop themselves from taking a peek-a-boo. His chiselled chest, his amazing muscles were his sign. He finished the outfit by wearing jeans paired with hip top sneakers, overall giving a classy,dazzling look. His hair was styled up to perfection, it always looked like he visited the saloon every single day, his dark chocolatey brown orbs gleamed through, his charming smile taking the place of an evil smirk. Girls drooled helplessly on him, boys glared at him with envy, no one could be who he was, he was only one...
His group was full of hotties, none looked even a bit of ugly nor were they untalented. All of them
completed each other, their flowing dances, their fast dance moves killed everyone. The reason they were known as dazzlings, the reason it wasnt easy to become one of them.
Did I even care about this guy? Every girl drooled over him except me. I agreed he was God's creation designed to kill but I was no ordinary one, there was no way I was gonna fall in love with someone like him.
Everyone gave way for him to pass through, he lead his gang with so much attitude, smirks staying on their lips.
"Hey you! Move off, Cant you see we're walking." said Rey
"Oops, I didnt know that you were there. By the way, who the hell are u huh?" I asked, her sweet light brown orbs challenging him
"Oh Ms. Whatever, I dont have time for people like u. Anyways I have dealt with millions like you, so, what do u want? Are u pleading for attention that to from me or a chance to become THE Reyaansh Singhania's girlfriend huh?" dared Rey
"Its Kriya, Kriya Ghai. Oh and you think am interested for u? Well, Dream ON!" I answered, waving her body, her hands curled into a 'L' indicating loser.
"How dare u!?" shouted Rey, his voice turning cold.
No one, No one had ever dared him like that and this useless girl was daring him, that to infront of every individual here! She would pay for it, a big punishment lay in wait for her.
"Dare what, Reyaansh Singhania?" said someone, coming in front of Kriya, rescuing her at the correct time.
"Swayam just shut up! U are no one, get that!" shouted Rey, his evil brown orbs shooting daggers at him.
"Dont give me that look u bas****! Oh and it's Swayam for u, Swayam Shekhawat, dont you forget that." shouted Swayam
"U both are gonna pay for your deeds." threatened Rey
"Its fine Rey, anyways I dont like cheap stuff." answered Swayam
