The first Favourite
Aditya
She came and stood beside me and opened the paper. Her eyes were fixed and for almost thirty seconds, she continued to gaze the paper. She was thinking, I don't know what.
I peeked to know what was on that. I laughed at that freak. Shruti. Most was for her though. I imagined how she would react when 'f**k' would be written on her paper.
"Tell us, ZIiia.. " I scoffed. What was to think that much? Had she never had one in her life? It couldn't be that. Everyone had had that at least once.
" My first kiss..... " she mumbled. So I thought to become her mouth.
" FIRST kiss.. Let's see how Zia expounds Shruti's first for hers. "
Curious!
What was like that for her?
Would she tell?
She sighed and lowered her hand at sides and looked at others than me blankly.
" With the softness, love and care;
That touch bears the most beautiful caress ever;
To vow to beshield forever;
No matter, the kiss of birther or lover."
What?
My mouth opened wide and I stared her for while. Her each words sounded so beautiful on my ears. She was intellectual. She had it!
Mouth to mouth?
Maybe!
Maybe not!
Shake it off! Why am I being curious?n
She had her lips closed and face pleased.
She is cute!
Beautiful!
Beasty!
Stupid! All at the same time.
"That was greatly poetical. Awesome!" I rushed, quite taken aback but mesmerised although I regretted to have said that. I heard few cheers. Of course, freaks!
" That's me! " she exclaimed. Told you, she's Beasty!
I winked and her face fell. I laughed in head as took her place back elegantly strutting towards her place. I liked her tank top. It revealed few of her flawless back letting me imagine the shoulder blade of her shaped body.
Back to reality!
I cleared my throat then said aloud, " The next one, please. " Other girl named Priya came.
" First Night out. " she said and I politely signaled her to continue.
"Music on peak, a bottle down;
Dance insanely, tension all gone, party's on;
At Treasure Island's downtown."
" Amazing. " I clapped for her.
They kept on coming up themselves. I liked their zeal.
Sameer: First Proposal.
" I proposed her,
the day I saw her in a peek-a-boo bra."
He laughed like hell.
Real sick! I wondered if he was this customarily.
Dhruv : First Date.
"The date took me to the cliff of Falling in love with her forever. "
Serious little freak! Few were going good but few sucked . I called for other Joydeep who jumped excited, maybe.
" It's first crush. Lavanya lots love laid for you. " serious lamebrain! I asked him who she was to know that she was here. Great proposal!

---went on.... Some sucked, some interesting.
Abhimanyu :First f**k. That's it . I looked at her and she glared me hard. 'f**k you!' she said to me. I winked at her again.
"f****d up! Because later she broke up. " he confessed, " Guys, it's joke. " I was sure that it was true.
" f**k it! " I commented. He shocked, went away. I looked around casually when a confident voice entered my sane ears.
" All right. It's all favourite first. What's your favourite worst? " she smirked.
Worst?
I forgot things. Everything. All became useless this instant. I couldn't speak about my worst. I couldn't dare remember that. I didn't want to think about her. I hated my mother- The one who gave me birth, the one whose embrace I longed lately because she never thought about me and left me in this world.
I very well knew what usually happen then. I very well knew my eyes weren't waterproof at few moments like this. I can't show anyone my weakness. Everyone has one and she touched mine. She shouldn't have.
I hate her! I hate you Alia!
I took my things and walked away managing not to hurry. I ignored the whispers. Calls.
I laid on my bed watching the stars. Big - B set it all at my tenth birthday. The radium stars!I am no kid to believe that one of those star is my mum, things. Still I like those for he cared for me and did this. It was always going to be that way. My thoughts wandered at everything and when I got tired of raking my brain, I slept.
'Mamma... Mamma.. Where are you? Mamma?... ' I, the boy of six year old wandered searching her through veranda, rooms. Then finding the door ajar, stepped Inside.
'Mummmaaaaaaaa....' I shouted. Though I couldn't understand what was that.
Why was she hanging on the ceiling?
Why wasn't she coming over to me to hug me and caress?
I sensed something bad, something unusual and cried loud and harder. I didn't know what I was feeling, but it was not good. Mumma wasn't coming to wipe away my tears and soothe me this time and she was still so still up in the ceiling.
'Mamma come down. ' I slowly walked to her and jumped up to touch her feet which didn't react at all.
' Mumma... '
"Noooo .. " I shouted and woke up breathing heavily to find the darkness around me that I couldn't watch my own hands. I got more flabbergasted and shook to find the table lamp but with my shaking hands, it fell down to make a loud noise.
It is dream. Just a dream. I tried to calm myself in vain.
" Aditya, are you okay? " dad came from nowhere and the room brightened with the light. He started patting my back.
I don't need it from you.
I yanked him away. He still kept up trying to ease me out of my sweat.
" I am fine. You are.....free today? Surprise visit. "I mocked stammering. He kept quite and sat for a minute. I stared at his features. How could anyone manage the show off of 'I care for you'? I didn't know if it was genuine at all because all he cared was of his reputation that I usually hampered and targeted too. I didn't care now though. I stopped caring long ago.
"Good night." He wished, switched off the lights and went away. I didn't reply and sat for while blankly staring at zero. I couldn't sleep at all them. When finally I slept my alarm buzzed my ears:
°°°°°°Wake up! Wake up! The day's ahead. Fun and love awaits. °°°°°
Okay, I got up and dressed and went to picked my car, no break fast for I was very late. Then it hit about flat tyres.
"Want a ride? " of course, bhai. I jumped on his car.
"Are you keeping yourself good? At college?" He asked with authority giving me a side glance.
"Yesterday, I kicked someone's ass and you know how was the sound when it busted. Boom!! "
He sighed and eyed me while I chuckled poking my tongue.
" I mean, are you still bragging that girl? " He asked.
" No. " I told that instant and he believed. I didn't , I was so sure. Little later I reached the destination.
I went to look at the notice board where I found her. She looked self pleased and there was something in her smile. I got suspicious and tried to process what was that for.
" Hello, Mr Senior. " She chored.
Respect?
No, tease probably.
Why? She must have cursed me million times.
" Hey, freak. Having things on your small head! " I said to her.
" Yup." she was into something. I didn't think much as I was already very late so I tried crossing her.
" Stop! " She said to make me look back. "Will you not... Not bother me today?" she said smiling.
"Beasty, are you upto something? What's that smile for, huh?.... Woah! What the hell! you i***t! Watch out. " Someone pushed me at the back and ran away.
I tried to look who the culprit was when she held me by arm to safe me tripping into her.
" Thank you. Bye, Mr senior. " she said almost running. Something was wrong with her.
I made my way to my friends who were at the far end of the verandah.
" Hey love. " I hate this of kanika."Hii." I replied her dryly when she stood next to me holding my arm.
I heard the familiar loud laugh and before I could watch back. He kicked me hard and I was on ground with my hands on ground preventing my nose.
"Akash...fucking hell! What is this?! " I yelled at him getting up.
I looked around to find few people laugh at me. Sanya and Akash were among them. I glared them to stop. I looked around to find her stand and laugh at me.
" You asked it... So I did" he claimed.
What the f*****g hell! When did I ask him?
