Nisha POV
One kiss is all it takes fallin' love with me. possibilities, I look like all you need one one On..
Stop! stop!stop it!uhhhhh!Let me sleep some more.
I searched for alarm to shut it. Uhh where the hell it is? I reached my hand to shut that thing. I really don't like alarms. They are very noisy.
I woke up groggily squeezing my eyes shut. They felt very irritating as they are not even opening properly. I am sure they must got puffy. I tried to take my blanket of my body while standing but that traitor got tangled with my legs making me fall down on my bum. Thud!
Owww! it hurts.
What a great start of the day. I tried to crawl my way towards the bathroom because my eyes are not opening. They are like they stick together refusing to let me see anything.
Finally what felt like ages, I reached the door. I stood up and opened it making my way towards the sink.
I sprinkled, no! more like pour cold water on my face. I sighed. It felt good.
Finally my eyes opened making me gasp when I saw myself in the mirror. That’s when the last night’s scenarios came to me hitting like a truck. I cried because they were rude to me. I cried because uncle scold them because of me. I cried because I didn’t want to come here in the first place. I cried because I was missing my Papa. I cried because I felt like!
But seriously it feels light after crying. You should cry daily. Eh No! Just kidding.
I washed my face again to remove all the traces of tiredness and started doing my morning routine.
I came outside the bathroom and went towards the closet. I still didn’t unpack. I am very lazy to do that. Truth to be told I never arranged my clothes or other things. I got people to do that for me back then. But now here it seems I have to do it myself. No problem. I will definitely do it today after college.
I just took pale pink colored tank top with grey hoodie and black jeans and my white Nike vans. I kept my hairs in half bun on top of my head and brush the loose strands from my face. I applied moisturiser and lipbalm and look now I am all ready.
I took my backpack and made my way downstairs. It was only 7:10. I entered the kitchen only to be greeted with kissing scene in front of me.
Oops..
I coughed loudly and I can feel the heat rush to my neck. Yes I witnessed this type of scene because of manik and Aliya. But now this is awkward. My cough got their attention as they separated from each other and both were blushing. How cute.
“Um.. uh..good morning nisha” uncle cleared his throat and went towards the stool sitting there dipping his head in newspaper whereas aunt presumed her cooking. I smiled and greeted them.
“Good morning"
“Good morning sweetheart. Have you slept well?” aunt asked me. "Yeah, I did."I mumbled quietly. They didn't need to know that I heard their argument yesterday. I sat on one of the stools near the kitchen counter. Aunt filled my plate with scrambled eggs, toast and bacon but I don't eat nonveg except eggs so I refused it. There were no signs of Noah and Samantha. I guess they didn't came last night. I heard them saying staying in packhouse, but I didn't get it. What is packhouse? Maybe type of a house. They also mentioned some word rog or rouge. I don't know.
“Are you ready? I will drive you to the college” uncle said as I finished my breakfast. He also had his breakfast while reading the newspaper. Papa used to do that but always got scolded by me for not paying attention to me or the delicious breakfast.
“No uncle you don’t have to. Actually I ..'' I got cut off by the sound of doorbell ringing.
When I looked over at uncle and Aunt, they both frowned and stare at each other.
“I'll get that” uncle said.
I think I knew who it is. I also went towards doors.
“Nisha” uncle asked me.
When I went there I saw Hari with a small box of my car keys. Hari was dad’s one of the bodyguards. He is very tall and buff with expressionless face. Well I am used to it.
“mam” he greeted me slightly nodding his head.
I went outside only to see he brought four cars with his own . Well I only asked for a car not cars. Three were mine and one was dad’s. "Are these yours?"uncle asked me with surprised expression. I didn't tell him that I am ordering my car here. I should have told him.
"Hope you don't mind."I said awkwardly. I thought he will get upset but he just laughed. "Nisha my child, you don't need to ask permission for everything. It's also your house."he said with a smile.
I smiled back.

I sped up my car and started singing with the song playing in the car. Bad boy by Billie Eilish. In no time I reached the campus. I parked my Bugatti Veyron next to a very gorgeous looking slick black Mercedes. Who brings Mercedes to college? Well who brings Bugatti to college? Um me!
I glanced at my watch, it was only 7:45 so I still have 15 minutes to spare before my first lecture.
I pulled my hoodie up and made my way towards the college building. The premises is very big. I reached my locker and put my books inside the bag for first two periods because they were on the same floor. I made my way towards class. Just then someone pulled my hoodie backwards startling me. I glanced behind to see the boy who was smirking at me.
“I heard you sat with the outcasted b***h yesterday.”he said. b***h is bad word. We should not curse. Then s**t is also a bad word. Well..
I furrowed my brows not knowing what that has to do with him. He scowled down at me.
“Well, since you are new here I advice you not to speak with that girl again if you don’t want to get targeted by me and my friends.”he said with his disgusting smirk and glared at me trying to scare me.
Back of boy . Bohot dekhe hai tere jaise.(I have seen many like you.) But I didn’t say that loud. I just looked at my watch and started to walk away. I don’t have time to waste. I heard his distant shouts but I didn’t glance back.
---------------
First two lectures were fine. Nothing interesting were there. Of course who finds maths interesting? I don’t.
I didn’t see Ahana today. She has maths and English with me. I frowned and started searching her in the hallways as I still have time for third lecture. I didn’t see her there so I went towards washroom. I got to pee really bad. I quickly did my business and washed my hands and dried them. That’s when I heard a whimper. I glanced back. I am sure I heard something. Then again another muffled sob. It came out of the other toilet. I went near the door and knock it.
“Hey are you ok?” I asked softly. I don’t know but the person on the other side seems like crying. I got nothing in reply.
“is there anyone here? I asked again.
“N..nis..nisha?” a whimpered voice called my name. I knew who it is.
“Ahana? Yeah it’s me. Please open the door. What happened?” I asked her afraid.
The bathroom door slams open and there I saw her. Just like yesterday, bruised. She instantly hugged me while crying. I also hugged back her whispering soothing words again and again.
“It’s ok Ahana. You are ok. Who did this? just tell me.”I asked her.
“t..that g.. guys. T..th..they d..did…” she said while stuttering badly. Oh God she’s hurt.
“Ahana relax. Breath in, breath out. You don’t have to tell me more, I got it. Let’s get you to the infirmary.” I told her.
She nodded her head wiping the remaining tears left. I really want to smack those bullies head to the wall. No one can harm my friends. I sighed and looked at her. She looks pretty hurt.
--------------
After getting Ahana treated her wounds, we went to the cafeteria as it was only 5minutes left for lunch break. Yeah I missed two lectures getting Ahana treated and keeping her mind of the things. It’s not like I care about attending lectures. I do bunk lectures sometimes when my heart desires. So it's not a problem at all.
But for some reason I felt something weird here. My eyes scanning the whole area. There were few students getting to the tables for lunch. I found myself constantly looking towards the entrance of the cafeteria as if my eyes were searching something or someone, but I didn’t know what?
"What are you thinking?" She asked while sitting on the chair near the table.
"Nothing particular."I sighed and pulled my chair to sit.
"You look like a quiet and introverted girl." She commented.
"Yes I am. I like to keep it to myself. I am not a good speaker but a good listener."I said with a smile.
"ah I see"
“So Nisha is there anything you want to know about this college? I know most of the things because rumors spread with a lightening speed in this college.” She said while munching on her sandwich.
“Um I don’t know, you tell me.”I said while eating my pasta. I didn’t like cafeteria food so I already brought pasta from the nearby café while coming to the college.
“okk i'll tell you.” Suddenly she looked excited. I can tell she is gossip girl by that look.
“so let’s start. So what should I tell you first? Oh yeah the stereotype!” she started. I nodded my head.
“This college has the same stereotype like other colleges but more interesting. First there are jocks from football and basketball team. They all are handsome hunks but fuckboys. So beware.” I scrunch my nose for the endearment she used for them but signal her to continue anyways.
“Then there are nerds who gets bullied like me by some seniors. Though the college is against the ragging but they get their way because of their status. Then there is the school bee, head cheerleader and the bully Hailey with her minions Kiara and Taylor. She is beautiful but a total slut. I also thinks she slept with almost half of male population in this college. Just because her father is a trustee, she acts like she owns the college. This is basic.” She said with a giggle.
I got it so I guess I know much to survive here.
“No no… you are not even near that. There’s much more. Much scary and mysterious.” She said with a serious face. I frowned at her.
“In this college if you want to survive, then you have to follow some rules. There are two types of student population in this college. One is normal just like you and me. I am not talking about status but the appearance and personality. Almost 70% of population here belongs to mystery students. They are like they have some superpowers. And I’m not buffing at all. It’s true.”she said with seriousness.
I raised my eyebrows at that giving her the look 'really'. Like common yaar. Who believes in all this things. Superpowers and all.
“Nisha I am not lying. You will notice that yourself. They are all very mysterious. They have supericonic powers that if anyone talks about them, they get to know. They are really handsome and beautiful with perfect physical appearance. They don’t usually meddle with us. And the most important thing that I want to tell you is the particular group of guys. Two girls and three boys. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. They are bad news.”she said emphasizing every word.
“Why?” I asked. Of course I am curious.
“Well they ooze the strong aura especially the most handsome creature of this college, Aaron. He is the one whose one glare will send you to the hills running for your life. He is the one to whom no one dares to disrespect or talk back. Everyone is scared of him. He is short tempered and scary, but very hot. But I suggest you to not to get fooled by his looks, he is not good. He is also the captain of our football team “ she said.
Aaron. I felt something in the pit of my stomach hearing that name. I really want to know more about this guy but I don’t want to sound desperate and also she told me he is bad news. So better to leave it.
“And what about others?I asked her while eating the remaining pasta left in my plate.
“Well others are also scary but not much. Noah which I think Aaron’s best friend is a total manwhore. Aaron is also but Noah is more of a manwhore. He looks handsome but a cunning devil inside. He changes girls like he is changing his boxers. And then his little sister Samantha, she is a total b***h. Very beautiful but a complete spoiled b***h. She is obsessed with Aaron. Then the cute couple Kai and Cole. They are couple that everyone wishes to be. Perfect. They feel so are in love each other and very possessive of each other. No boy dares to approach Cole without the presence of Kai because Kai go berserk on them. He is very possessive of her and she doesn't have any problem with that.” She said.
Oh so Noah and Samantha belongs to that group. I also think they are different and hard to approach. Ahana doesn’t know I stay with them in their house. I didn’t tell her that.
As she finished telling me everything that will 'help me to survive here' , we completed our lunch. As I was busy stuffing my lunch box into my bag, I heard loud clicks of heels pattering on the ground. I glanced at Ahana only to see her face draining all it's colours.
"What?"
"Th.. they are here. The bullies." She stated fearfully.
