Tia Wake up ..it’s already 7:30 in morning ;said Alyssa while placing coffee on the table where tia slept while trying to complete hefty amounts of assignments with all books placed aimlessly

Oh, good morning alys (yawning)

I made the breakfast get ready fast and eat before it gets cold

woo, Alys is it you or u did u get possessed,?how come you woke up earlier than me and made these (sleepy voice)

Yeahhh I got possessed by a ghost...didn’t you observe my legs? 😏said alys and walked out of room to check on Pari

Tia almost believed her joke in drowsy minds🥱

Alyss closed tia’s room door behind her and found pari getting ready for college

in the hall, since their house is a 2 BHK pari is the unlucky one to loose in lottery and she had to live in hall,even though Alys and tia has their own rooms they still sleep together ,because it’s nothing awkward for them as they spent almost half of their lifes together

Hey Alys! Is it 9:00 already ? asked pari mockingly

If you are done with joking take your coffee and breakfast pari...

greeatt😲,there is going to be a earthquakel somewhere in the world said pari with a

sarcastic smirk on her face .

As pari sat down for breakfast,tia joined them

Unlike the usual cheerful self alys appeared little dull😶 and immersed in her own thoughts,so the mom of the trio tia decided to ask her

Alys, why do u look gloomy?

Nothing tia I just had a nightmare ended up teary ..😕

What kind of nightmare? questioned pari while picking on her food.

Ohh ,I don’t really want to think about it again it’s scary. Pari and tia looked into each other as they found it weird because alys is not a type of person to keep things for herself

Well dear ,you don’t have to tell but don’t bother too much about a nightmare ,that’s just an illusion and they are never goona happen ,we are here for you if anything happens,said tia to alys as she kept the plate in sink

Ewwww,that made me cringe tia ;said Alys and pari at the same time

As soon they said that tia’s expression claimed “I know i was cringe”

They all bursted to Laughing

Even though it was cringe, her words gave a little comfort to alys

They finished their breakfast and headed to bus stop for going to college

Lucky enough during the counselling Alys and tia got to join in the same college even though different major ,alys is in medicine group whereas tia is in pharmacy group

As Pari took engineering her college is little far from Alys’s college but they all can take the same bus

since it is mid March there was scorching heat in the bus after travelling for 20 mins standing in the crowd they got to sit

“It’s cold !!as cold as peak winter ❄️the road is busy with people walking in all the directions ..the weird part is not feeling cold in summer it is....

The people...the people around her are wearing ancient Indian clothes,well not all of them but only people on her side of the road .the road on her side has horse carts and rickshaws...but no one the other side seemed to be bothered by it .

Am i in a shooting area? asked alys to the people around her but no one seemed to listen to her,they did not even blinked at her as if she was ......dead;

suddenly a theif came running towards alys and passed through her

at this point her heart broke that she died at the age of 18,and she even didn’t get to say her last good bye to her only family tia ,pari and her granny

Not knowing what to do she stared at the ground crying ..that’s when a running man with a sword came in her direction ,apparently chasing the thief .****bumped her shoulder!!**

He didn’t even bothered to apologise and kept on chasing

HE CAN SEE ME??!

Alys wake up ,alys ...

Alys was in a shock and looked scared

Alys are you okay ; asked tia...shocked

Alyss are you okay?

I....I am good Tia,said alyss with a little sigh of relief and tears in her eyes

How the hell are you okay Alyss? You are at the verge of breakdown!

Tia was sensing something seriously wrong with alyss, before she could ask further more , they had to get down of the bus

Both Alyss and Tia entered the college together but they had to go in different directions...

Okay call me if you need anything Alyss said Tia and rushed towards her block as she had to submit her assignments.

She walked towards her block with a heavy heart as it was too disturbing for her to witness such a dream ,though her dream was not like straight out of horror film,she still felt anxious,it’s not because of being invisible but it was because of something unexplainable ...

No matter how much she tried she couldn’t brush it off,so she was not able to concentrate on her classes and finally she decided strongly not to think about it.

As soon as it was lunch time people started going in and out of the classes, it was soo noisy and cheerful which lifted her mood little bit.

Suddenly she felt presence of three people behind her staring ,she tried to peak through the corner of her eye ,right then they started coming infont of her!!!

It was...... Valli,Skanda,Manav

Guys....(sigh),why were you standing there as if you guys were going to kill me ; said Alyss with a little smile

When skanda was about to speak someone he was unintentionally interrupted by Manav,

Manav placed both hands at corners of the table came a little closer and asked her with a sarcastic tone while pushing her head with his index finger “what were you doing here for past 15 mins ? We only have 30 mins break,Plotting a murder?

Yeah... i was planning to kill you , said Alyss while packing her bag .

Valli chuckeld,

That’s a great plan Alyss ,please stab him two more times on behalf of me ,I am tired of living this scumbag so I can live with my princess valli said skanda while placing his hand around valli’s waist affectionately and kicking Manav’s butt with his feet ,

Which made manav move closer to Alyss

That made the Atmosphere between Alyss and Manav awkward ,He quickly retracted with a awkward cough and threw a punch in Skanda’s stomach lightly

The only one who noticed Manav blushing was Valli

When they all reached cafeteria,ofcourse it was no surprise there were no empty tables,

Everyone gave a deathly look to Alyss ,

Alyss smiled with apologetic look.

Someguy observed the group struggling find an empty table and invited them to their table as it was only occpied by two people.He was good looking enough to be an

actor . He somehow gave a familiar vibe to Alyss ,the other guy was good looking too ,but not as much as the guy who called them.

Since they are the freshers ,they got an idea that he is senior ..

They know what awaits them if they go to sit there “fun ragging under the disguise of interaction” ,but they were not much worried because they are almost at the end of their first academic year

It is indeed banned to rag someone in Indian colleges and punishments when caught are super serious like a fine of 700 USD or prison sentence between 6 months to 10 years.

but seniors can always interact with juniors and can even summon them

but ofcourse it’s totally the juniors choice whether to go or not, but many don’t dare to refuse them.

so generally the interactions are somewhere between ragging and interaction,

The fun part of this interaction is,seniors try to tease them little bit within the limits and they don’t really try to force freshers to do anything because they are aware of the consequences later💀

later seniors take them to a treat and help them with alllllllll kind of things they need ,that’s traditional

Many of the juniors like this interactions because ,seniors are like mini proffesors in the academics bcoz they been through the phase they are going through right now .

This so called interactions are also right place for finding a partner.

They all walked towards the seniors with a little thrill and nervousness.....
