I descended the stairs brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear wearing a smart blouse and jeans with a cropped blazer.
My hair is up in a ponytail.
As I was about to leave I looked in the mirror and checked if my makeup was good.
I reapplied my lipgloss and left shutting the door behind me after putting my coat on and putting my hood up.
I quietly sneaked out of the gates as I lived in a huge mansion trying to not be caught by my papa's men or should I say his minions, whatever.
I ran out of there once the bodyguards were distracted as they left the gate. Probably because papa called them. I quickly got in my red car and drove off to the University.
I didn't want to be late on my first day of university.
*A few minutes*
I pressed the brake pedal as the traffic light turned red. Then, I heard my phone ringing and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Aaru where are you yaar? We have been waiting for an hour now." Hearing Mira's voice over the phone.
"So sorry M I had some delays that's all"
"But I promise to make it up to you and Dira"
"Fine, fine. Just hurry. It's cold." Mira said.
"Don't worry I am almost there. Just 30 minutes left."
I replied and hung up the call and started driving again as the traffic light turned green.

9:30 am
As I stride into the university taking my first steps into the decent, modern building looking at the unique exterior. I swung my backpack over one shoulder from behind.
I noticed the ladies staring at me knowing that they are just attracted to my appearance.
Without a care I just brushed them off walking past them heading to the dormitory.
As I walked inside I recognized two familiar figures. One was leaning against the wall and the other one was on a phone in the corner.
What's up guys! I said approaching my two best friends Aarav and Zahir.
Aarav who was leaning on the wall scrolling through his phone then looks up and smiles as he sees me.
Hey man. You're early today. What a surprise. Aarav said.
Yeah I know. But it won't be a regular thing. Just my dad has been poking his business lately.
Oh, I see so the old man has been on your back.
The usual. I said putting my hands in my jacket pocket shrugging.
Zahir who was on the phone hung up from his phone and sighs, putting his hand on his temple.
Did something happen bro? I asked
"No it's nothing. Just glad you are here." He said, forcing a smile.
"If you say so dude" I replied.
He walked up towards us after shoving his phone in his jean pocket to join us.
How about we go and check out our dorm first. He suggested.
Sure. I said as Aarav nodded.
We all went to the desk to ask for our dorm room and get our keys.
As we walked I felt someone bumped into me.
"I am so so sorry" as I heard a soft, delicate voice.
Watch it! I blurted out of nowhere.
As I looked up I saw a girl with dark brown hair and hazel eyes that shone like diamonds. Her lips are full and the shade of blush.
I noticed her eyes widened in surprise as if I just hurted her feelings.
My face is still hard, glaring at her.
Then I noticed her face hardened.
"Wait a minute?" She said
"Are you Ishaan as in the Ishaan Arora?" She asked
My face flicked from angry to confused.
"Yes? Why?"
"Oh great! It's you! I was hoping to not see you ever again after high school but guess fate isn't on my side." She said,
My face hardened again
"Don't tell me.."
"Are you Aarya?.."
"Oh wow! So, you remember me now! Wish you didn't!" She scoffed.
"Don't scoff at me!" I shouted.
"Okay okay, woah. Enough you two!" We heard a deep voice from behind. It was one of my best friends, Aarav.
"Let's just get going, dude." He said, dragging me by the arm away to the desk.
As he dragged me away I saw her looking away angrily.
*20 minutes later*
We finally entered our dorm room.
Finally I said laying down on the first bed I saw was exhausted.
"That argument drained you out huh." Zahir said.
"Yeah. I said." Closing my eyes as I sighed.
"You should seriously say sorry bro." Aarav chimed in.
I shot up sitting on the end looking at him in shock.
"Are you seriously taking her side" I scoffed.
"No, it's not like that. It's just it's not cool bro." He replied.
"The past is the past and how you have been treating her wasn't nice. I mean you have been pranking her and just being mean to her ever since kindergarten. You're an adult now." He continued.
"So, it's fun to prank her. You just don't get it." I said
He sighed and facepalmed.
"Nevermind."
"I have a date so I gotta go."
"Let me guess you're taking Mira out right?"
"Yes. I am heading now. You know I can't be late." Aarav said and walked out the room.
"Now the lover boy is gone want to play the new game" Zahir asked.
"That sounds like a good plan." I replied and we started to play a video game on the TV.
AARYA POV
Present Day
Hyderabad, India
9:00pm
I stepped into my dorm and shut the door.
I saw Mira and Indira chatting and it looked serious as they saw me they looked worried.
"Take a seat" Indira said with a gentle smile on her face.
I took a seat next to her on the bed.
"What's up girls?" I said with a raised eyebrow.
Mira sighs.
"We heard you and Aarav had a fight again," She said.
"So?" I replied leaning a bit back.
"So, you have to stop arguing with him and just move on and try to communicate with him like everyone else on the campus" She said.
"Me? Aarya Agrawal talk to that jerk? Pfft, never till my last breath" I said with a hint of hatred at the edge of tone.
Mira shrugged in defeat.
"Well, at least I tried talking to you. I just hope one day you will take my advice. We are just worried about you Aaru" She said with a hint of worry.
I sighed.
"Ugh, fine. I guess I can try tomorrow but for now I am exhausted. I am going to take a quick shower and head to bed" I said.
"We are glad you are giving this a shot Aaru. We will see you tomorrow." Mira said.
"Yep, goodnight girls" I said as I got up from the bed.
"Goodnight" Both Mira and Indira said in sync.
I gave them a small smile and headed to the bathroom, shutting the door from behind me.
