What the Heck!

Alia

My eyes snapped open, as even my dream wanted to wake me up with my ringing alarm. I moved my head watching everything new around me, breathing out little sadness. I tried to bring in excitement, zeal and confidence for it was my first day in college. Really constantly changing emotions were emerging. I was nervous to face new people and befriend. It's better with people you grow but changes and newness adds spice to life.

I am up!

New start always demands to be of mixed taste and it was for me too but I tried to make it the memorable one. I woke up early 6 am in my apartment with a single room, kitchen, washroom and so good of balcony. I had even started to like it so much. All by myself, in peace. I had never lived away from my parents but here came an exception and I was all by myself in this apartment. Mom dad wanted me to take hostel's room but later on me getting plus one vote by my cousin, I ended up here. Cool, right..?

Don't assume that I didn't have attachments to my parent but I wasn't much of company loving person. I loved to be myself. It gave you peace, independence and no problems, as told by many. Having friends, chatting, laughing and being weird sometimes are what any person would want but at the end of the day you need to give your time to yourself. To fill your voids and pave oneself.

I rushed to take bath and dressed in my black half sleeved short top and slipped into my slim fit blue denim having considered them best outfit to start with. Took my apple red purse and have on my black heels and headed to the college. Papa provided me a car to drive to college.

Finally, I reached the college and parked my car on the parking area. There I saw a group standing at the corner of parking, laughing out loud, commenting on students passing by. Probably the popular among others they looked. They were actually the shitty gang! Feeding out of people.

One girl had her small bunch of night black hair dyed crimson, wore knee length skirt and short top revealing her navel ring while the other one had long curls and her lips holy red, wore slim jeans with lacy top .

How long it takes to paint yourselves girls?

I wondered a bit about them and then myself only to sigh and end up thinking to forget it. Who had the time to do that all the time? At least not me.

I am done wondering!

Boys were no less. One had the goggles on wore sweat shirt and was fair, tall and broad while the other two had the hand bands and knuckles wore torn and ripped jeans. I had the strong instinct to go and tear that slight ripped into two parts. But I restrained. It was that stupid instinct!

Cut that! You just can't do that,what you can do is control your instinct.

They thought they were stud but I never liked rash people's. Were they rash? They looked so.

If Tia would see them then she would exclaim quite this way.

A sss some! So sexy! Look at her Alia. She is style God . He looks so handsome...... Sexy.. On and on....

Oh Forgot! Tia, my school best friend and the one with whom I shared my everything first. she was so special for me and just opposite of me still we were best friends and so I experienced things which I wouldn't have if she weren't there.

The Goggled one caught me looking at them gave me not so good for me kind of smile . He said something to black haired one and she turned towards me giggling. They shared what they thought about me and all started laughing out loud.

Morons!

All they needed was a figure to laugh on.

As I smelled the atmosphere turning conspiring for their loud laughter among themselves turned to whispers and smirks. I instantly turned back and paced faster only to be stopped.

"Stop. "

Heck.

I turned towards them. One who caught me looking stalked towards me looking extremely smug and that was utterly irritating.

''What do you want? ''

''Nothing much, just little fun. '' he blurbed and turned towards his gang and they started giggling. Such a bloat he was.

''Your are having lot among yourselves . Carry on over there! , '' I pointed others of the gang and turned confidently. One more word, I was going to hit him. No one was going to harass me on the very first day, I thought.

''There are certain rules here to be followed by FIRST.. YEARS.. And everyone has to follow them,'' he emphasised certain words to me to bring in light the 'picking up for fun' thing on the canvas of my mind. It was clear that I was the picked one.

''Two things. First, the second that I ain't the easy to pick on for fun and second, the first that I don't follow absurd rules. ''

"You'll from now on. " He almost whispered shaking his head to his sides. He was getting onto my nerves.

" I will make sure to defy that."

" Stupid girl! You must never fuss with sharks in the sea! "

"What makes you think you are shark here? "

"You will know. "

" What's your problem?" I asked. He looked straight into my eye and I was not the one to lower mine to let any any fat head dominate so I too gave him the same intense glares. He kept long silence and spoke something which was what shook me.

"You. "

what?

" Can't digest your over confidence." My eyes widened still holding the gaze, doubted if it was really freaking first time in my life that I was talking to the guy. Nothing came up when I forced my memories for him. I came out of my thoughts and composed myself.

"I will teach you. "

The black haired girl came and stood beside him holding his arms, smiled in content at him.

''AD, how about today at the cafeteria you know, for her? '' She looked like she had great interest in so called 'AD'. He looked being stuck up.

Good for you. I was satiated.

''Okay. We already had lot of conversation. " He said smiling hideously to me and turned towards her, " Come on, let's go. "

" See you again. '' He sang to me and winked.

I turned and took few strides but felt something piercing. Thanks to girls instincts. He was staring me. I was submerged in anger.

I wouldn't give him the chance again, I thought.

I got to my class. There were a lot of people but in groups or duos or individuals. This was what I hated a lot. Why people always have tendency to zone themselves? Pathetic was belief of superiority that arises later . One of those groups would be prepared enough to take the place of those I encountered on the parking was my fast next thought.

Sounded bad.

I saw different kind of people. Few simple. Few fashionable. Few more than fashionable. Few, maybe, like me.

I was standing at the threshold to face the boys usual instincts. Every eyes were on me. Mostly they were of males. No matter if you were good looking or not they needed to check you out else their day doesn't count, I thought so. It felt like walk with vampire speed and turn their heads away from me, without being noticed by them.

Ohh, shake it off. It wouldn't happen.

Walking Inside, the glares rotated with me. God! Am I looking alien. Neither I was that good looking than those in there, nor I had done anything to attract attention.

Alien! Maybe. Maybe not.

There were more beautiful girls than me on whom any boy would lay his eye on. I was not that good looking. I was just above average though Tia always said, "Alia, you are really cute and if you know how to make up and treat the fad you would turn out to be someone's sexy chick." while at other times she says " Alia, you are at no good looks for you drown yourself with lot of maturity, making your face boring only to reveal the cuteness when you cheer up. So don't carry this tedious facade just be..... Cool and... Laugh...laugh huh... Harder...." as she would start tickling me, my stomach and I would laugh out and order her"stooooo.. Op it..stop it", and when she carried on I would then helplessly beg her "pleaaaa..... Se.. Please.. Stooooo.. P.. Haha.." , her hands laid all over me and we would be on ground. Whose best friend would do opposite of this unless they aren't best friends?

I walked to the last empty seat and put my butt there, when someone called me.

''Hey. '' He greeted with a smile and offered his hands. I didn't. No humane. I didn't held anything for him I just didn't for all I know and that's what I would have said then. I was always a weirdo.

He pulled back his hands and said lowly, ''I am Dhruv. you are? "

'' Alia. Alia Sharma . ''

'' Such a nice name. If you have not got any company, would you join me?'' He scratched his head.

'' Why not. Thanks. ''

I almost sat in the last bench as I didn't gave him chance to choose us the place when he said still standing, gawking at my urgency to sit. Told you I was unacceptably weirdo around new people.

''Alia, can't we go there? You know, I kind of made friends there. Come I will introduce you to them. '' He pointed toward the third seat where two girls and a boy stood. He was buttering them and those girls where enjoying a lot. Looked like the last birth acquaintance! That guy had black hair perfectly spiked, light brown complexioned and average height. Dhruv was taller and fair than him. His physique was thin though.

I was already pissed of those freaks out there. But Dhruv was in no way like him. He unlike him was being friendly and so I needed to look at that part. He sounded good, good enough to talk to. Still I was unable to to be so good.

Alia. Don't be rude. I reminded myself

''Great. ''I followed him to that spiked guy. Two girls looked better than me in sense of fashion. One had long hairs, fair and brown eyes. Other one had short hairs just below her ears and black eyes. Both had double layer of makeup.

This Dhruv guy had two chicks already befriended. I was no where comparable to them. Run away you have no place here was all coming to my head.

''Hey guys, look someone's here. She is Alia. Alia Sharma and Alia, he is Sameer and she is Richa, '' Dhruv said pointing towards fair one. 'And she is shruti. '

''Hii, Alia, ''all said in unison. I nodded and smiled warmly and in return got Shruti' s wide smile showing white teeth .

They seemed quite happy with me there, as I expected different kind of welcome. Spiked guy, well I got his name, Sameer started flirting with me, I wondered if I too was to be treated this way with those two much better than me girls standing or it was what he did to almost every girl, but soon stopped as I didn't gave him the lead.

We had three consecutive tiring class and then break of an hour. Professor were coming on time and going too.

I had almost forgotten about that smug gang and the cafeteria thing when Sameer looked back and said cafeteria, I didn't listen to the rest he said for the memory of him winking at me flashed in front of me and anger struck me . Whatever that freak and his gang thought of me I didn't gave a s**t! I cursed his freak behaviour.

That dunderhead talked to me like he held grudge for something I must have done in my last life. Who would look at you and talk that way to you?

Then my eyes shifted to the guy next to me. I sat beside Dhruv, in front of us were Sameer and Richa, and Shruti seated with some other guy whom I didn't know until his words entered my ear, from the next bench beside us, that he was flattering her 'Abhi has a affinity for beautiful ladies and not to mention I am sitting with the most beautiful girl here', for which I thought that to be lot slippery.

Sameer had all kind of state of mind that you would have hard time to escape your laughter; comments for professors would certainly make you suffer the torture of trying to escape the laughter balls, forcing to come out, as though we giggled and were caught and so were glared by professor Shinha. Never mind that.

First day seemed to have even made pairs of girl girl and boy girl mostly but there were few boy boy too, either girls or boys are quite fast enough to get along.

After the end of the class, we all, that were, Dhruv, Richa, Shruti, Sameer, Abhi(Abhimanyu ) and me, headed toward the cafeteria all cool and happy as I almost forgot about those smugs and the didn't thought what they would do there.
