Flashback Part: 12
Freshers 2k14:
~ If roses could have been immortal, I'd have saved that one forever; heartily.
"I'm sorry, Sar. I would wear that gown next year in Fest, promise." Annie's voice drooped in remorse and sadness. "I loved your present and I feel so-"
"That's okay, just don't get your mood down, sweetie. I don't want your pretty self getting spoil." he smiled on phone, heading for shower.
"Okay, just get ready soon and whenever you're reaching at auditorium, call me up." Annie said,
"Sure sweetheart, love you. Bye," Sar smiled charmingly and hung down,
Annie sighed but shook her head, Get your mood good girl. She smiled as she thought about him meeting her in auditorium. Her face grew blushingly blissful in delight. The dance part was going to shoot down her hot and euphoric.

The boys dressed up in their usual code- White shirt, black formal pants and black overcoat with a black tie. All the colors were because of girls.
"I'm ready." Hilary said as she checked if her heels were fine. Her hair were tied in a loose braid with few strands left aside around ears on the cheek. The small ruby ornaments on her ears as small chandelier gave her a petite look. Her face was bleached with low-complexioned smooth skin without much make-over with rose blush adding the required prettiness. A soft serene smile crawled on her deep apple red lips as the thought of gentle Ryan came in her mind.
"I'm done too," Margot said, she had worn a midnight blue plain gown with pearls adorned on sides with feather sleeves.
"Just wait for me, you both!" Delia screamed as she wore her less-heeled sandals. She was wearing a sea green strapless gown, unlike the decent girls, and emerald looped earrings.
"You look hot, dum dum!" Hilary winked,
"I don't have a bf to conceal the beautiful me. I don't have to be shy," she said proudly with a huge grin. Hilary blushed. She looked in mirror once. 'I'm glad that this gown is neither strapless nor sleeveless. Its secure.'
"Are you coming? Ryan is waiting downstairs!" Delia effectively managed to tease Hilary and make her blush deeper.
It was unbearable for Hilary to walk on with those high pencil heels till the far away block of auditorium.
"My heels are paining." She said with a heavy sigh as they walked. No one else was in sight through the walk. Vri was ahead, with Vincent a meter ahead, Ezabella was far and vaguely spotted wearing a stunning navy blue gown.
"Are the seniors already at the auditorium?" Hilary asked.
"No idea!" Delia walked comfortably.
A bike swished aside them and Hilary's eyes dilated. "Were that those three?" She seethed,
"The boys are always lucky," Delia cried,
"The three R's" Margot snickered, staring the bike drove in masculine recklessness by Rolly with Ryan behind and Ron at the last.
"I'll not forgive Ryan. They are wearing comfortable shoes and they had the audacity to go a ten minutes away auditorium on bike? BIKE!" Hilary seethed,
"Girl, just stop complaining. Walk fast." Margot said.
Hilary whined but walked troublingly towards the auditorium. The heavily decorated sparkling gate was open and the sight enthralled them. The bright pleasant yellow blonde lights flashed and their eyes moistened as they gawked inside the auditorium. Loud, ear deafening, heartbeating pop music was played in background. Hilary's eyes glinted in confusion and too-much-to-handle-surprises. She could see many students in the hall. They walked inside and Delia ran forward to to catch a front seat. Hilary walked gently on the aisle, her breath stuck in the wonderful afresh feeling and aura; she took a seat. Margot followed.
Ryan, Rolly, Ron were already seated in the another row and they were talking and chuckling their hearts out. The musical beat grew faster and it send huge vibrations in the entire floor and seats, making them feel like their hearts were beaten. Hilary took a deep breath.
"Hey! Hils!" Ezabella waved a hand and came towards her,
"Hey Ez, you look lovely!" Hilary complimented,
"Thanks!" Eza smiled, "Delia hottie! You look gorgeous!" Margot and Ezabella chuckled.
Delia flushed.
"Where are our senior girls?" Rolly glanced around, asking with a huge hidden smirk.
"Whom are you searching in, particular?" Ron asked,
"They all are gorgeous." Ryan and Rolly laughed shamelessly.
Many could be seen but none of the prominent seniors showed up. It was seven twenty already.
"I'll just go out for air," Ryan clutched his coat and stood up.
"Hey Ryan," Rolly glanced at him. "Look there," he pointed in Hilary's direction with a naughty smirk. Ryan intuitively blinked as he saw Hilary seated a little far away in the opposite row, laughing and talking with Vri, looking inviting already. Ryan's breath stuck and ragged, black pupils widened. Vincent was standing alongside, taking part in the talk.
"Are you even listening," Ron asked loudly as Ryan was stare-stuck at Hilary. He just walked away abruptly, heading towards Hilary but the lights suddenly went closed with even louder commentary and box beating and constant drumming starting, fresnel spot lights trotting all around in the auditorium.
"Woo!" A loud squeal followed as Daniel entered.
The squeals and cheers even became louder and heart-snatching, when Rafael got in, waving at everyone. The boys got up and whistled in masculine charm. Daniel and Rafael were dressed in their dress-code looking admirably cool. Both headed to the music system, just making sure if the arrangements were proper, inquiring and asking things,
Ryan almost walked towards Hilary and was about say hi, when the girls abruptly got up and gave a high pitched squeal of hooting as senior girls entered- Kitty, Annie, Simra, Shav, Dev, Nainika, Misty and Oli, all dressed in jet black gowns with cream coloured cloth buttons on neck border and a row of it on just left sleeve from shoulder to wrist, hair tied in loose french bun and large looped and inscribed black earrings with black stilettos.
"They all did twinning!" Delia squealed, "They look awesome!" She got up and heartily gave a thumbs up in their direction.
The girls at the last moment made a sudden plan of doing twinning and so they went for shopping, to which Daniel just gave a nervous laughter later.
They senior girls sat in a group behind the juniors because of their obvious difference,
"Kitt, you look lovely!" Daniel took the mike on stage front and shamelessly announced in his masculine charm adding allure to his tone, which caused more flirting cheers to erupt. Kitty blushed heavily and quickly looked down,
"Sweetheart, this is for you!" Sar showered rose petals upon Annie coming from behind suddenly, surprising her. The song suddenly changed to Love me like you do, "I dedicate this song to you, Annie!" Sar played the song and yelled lovingly. Annie's cheeks turned in hundred shades of red.
Everyone hooted, "Damn girl, you're lucky!" Nainika hugged Annie and Simra followed, "Continue the loving!" She joked.
The girls laughed. The boys left nothing stopped from openly admiring their beloved gfs.
"Hey, that's Hilary and company," Oli pointed, "Let's go and call them here to join us!" Shav nodded.
"Hilary!" The girls called and that caught Ryan's attention who was now seated with his friends who spared no chance of teasing him. Hilary turned and nervously stood up, and walked towards the senior group, "Call Delia and Margot too!" Nainika said.
Hilary nodded.
"Girl, you look like you'll blast with nervousness now. Chill up," Shav said with a unsure chuckle,
"Good evening ma'am," Delia and Margot smiled and took the seats. They nodded.
"You all look beautiful," Misty smiled at the juniors.
"Thankyou,Misty ma'am," Margot grinned. Delia was curious to see why they have called them.
"Hilary, look who's there?" Oli said with a hidden smirk as she pointed in certain direction. Hilary fidgeted as she realized that they were pointing in Ryan's direction and she didn't want to see him, not right now, that was so bad teasing.
"Just look there," Shav smirked, Hilary had no other option and she turned cautiously to look at Ryan who was brightly smiling and curiously talking to two guys who seemed new here. She had no idea who they were. Ryan was introducing them to Rolly and Ryan.
"Looks like Ryan has invited his old friends here," Simra shrugged, her eyes sparing a glance there before she browsed hastily something on phone screen.
"What is it?" Nainika glanced at her tensed cousin who threw fingers at the phone screen. "Rafael is calling me. Join me Shav, I'll be back soon," She got up, followed by Shav and the girls strolled towards the left side of front stage, where the music system was kept, and the tray containing trophy cups and bowls were placed elegantly,
"Hey, everything going good?" Shav asked whilst Simy looked cautious, and attentively conscious. The loud music was banging through their nerves forcing them to speak loudly to hear out each other.
"All perfect. I think its time we begin now. Everyone is here. Miss Linn and Dr. Evyan will arrive soon, they just texted,"
"Let's start," Shav said rolling her eyes jadedly.
"Yeah. Simy?" Rafael ought an answer,
"Sure. Let's start the ramp, then."
"Will you do the hosting?" Shav asked Simra who winced.
"Not me, the heels are killing me and I'm not good at hosting, I will just announce for the ramp. You rock at hosting, you do," Simra climbed on the stage and Rafael accompanied her,
"A beautiful good evening to all the gorgeous girls and stunning guys!" She said enthusiastically loudly as she can, catching everyone's attention and everyone hooted, "I hope you're enjoying the party, but everything begins now." She smirked, getting nervous inside. "The girls are looking very pretty," she smiled, "But I'll just say that guys have managed to snatch some of our elegance to have yourselves shine out." Her smile broke into a comical smirk. The guys roared in disinclination, snorting.
Simra laughed, "No just kidding, everyone's looking awesome." She looked at Rafael with almost in a suppressed chuckle who was busily checking trophies clutching the microphone, "Except that guy there," She smirked at Rafael who took a second more to acknowledged her words and everyone laughed when he was taken aback and looked at her,
"I'm beyond awesome, Simra. No one compares to me, thanks dude." He tittered at her. She rolled her eyes.
"Simra, why don't you just agree with him?" Oli yelled from her place with a big grin.
"I'd rather have my junior Daniel for that!" She almost laughed and cautiously noted Rafael's reaction. "Kitty you won't mind, would you?"
Kitty laughed hard trying to subside with approval, enjoying the commentary while Daniel gave a flattered smile, getting distracted from playing the next music song to Closer.
"Simra you're forgetting dude, I was Mr. Fresher, and our beloved seniors gave that title to me." He retorted calmly with amusement. "You can't deter my stupendous title," he said her and walked on the stage,
Simra didn't had much to continue her teasing, she gave up, "Fine, just for the sake of our beloved seniors, I'll agree with you, Rafael." Simra said jadedly.
"Respect him dude," Kitty attempted to tease her senior, "He taught you piano!" Kitty declared and everyone gasped in amazement. Simra's mouth hung in embarrassment and shock. That seemed a little insulting.
"What are you saying Kitty?" Nainika protested, "Rafael was given dare by his senior to teach her piano; she didn't ask him!" She lied to protect her cousin. Simra and Rafael sighed in relief.
"I request First Years to gather near the aisle in two rows, girls and boys, separate." Rafael held the microphone,
"Wow, they are doing awesome commentary," Oli giggled,
"Oli!" Simra smirked, "You will be first to do the ramp here." Oli paled, "I know you respect your seniors," Oli sniggered, but nonetheless made her way between the row forming rows through the aisle towards the stage.
Everyone squealed and clapped and the senior girl did a stunning ramp, walking from ones side to another confidently.
"Now you all have to do the same!"Rafael grinned and announced clearly, the voice echoing dramatically,
"What?" The roars from the two rows of juniors could be heard who seemed tensed, a few excited as well. Ryan had an anime vein popped on his forehead, Hilary frowned nervously, Delia squealed at the announcement. Bhavya and Vri just sighed.
"I do not belong to first years till the ramp is over," Rolly said with a nervous giggle.
"Very well," Ron smiled sarcastically.
"The girls first!" Simra yelled over the microphone.
Hilary was nervous. The music changed to some stunning heavy hip hop causing adrenaline to pour out in everyone's' veins, the vibrations getting heavier. Ezabella went first, ramping confidently and stylishly and it caused louder cheers and the camera-man clicked the pictures as was told. It was followed by nervous Hilary, confident Delia, cool Vri and fine Margot. Ryan made a mental note of the decency in Hillary's ramp and that shamefulness. He liked that.
"The boys will come now!" Rafael announced and the boys started forming a line over the floor beside the stage and Vincent was the first one to start the ramp. Loud squeals followed. Soon others followed.
"I'm not doing this!" Rolly said,
"Don't worry," Ryan sighed, "We will go at last, both of us, together," Ryan smirked.
The ramp went smooth and the music changed to some new hip hop and everyone squealed hysterically, especially boys. It started with Vincent and others soon followed, "Don't worry, these all pictures will be put on the group and we will make sure to save the worst and cringy of all," Shav said coolly and everyone giggled.
Everyone were eagerly waiting for the two prominent guys to show up and they did in the most comical way they can- Ryan and Rolly holding their hands so tightly that the nervousness was visible and the grins of their faces were utterly fake. They traipsed on the stage with quick steps and got down rushingly.
"Everyone cheers for Rolly who successfully completed his dare. Oh god, you look so stunning with electrical blue eyes. I'm so damned," Daniel yelled hysterically over the microphone. Rolly gave a murderous glare to Daniel but somehow Ryan pulled him and they got to their seats. Rafael and Shav held their stomach giving burst of laughter.
"Now everyone, this is just the start. There's someone awesome we have to welcome," Rafael yelled, "Please welcome the gorgeous, astounding and lovely Miss Linn," The gates opened and a beautiful women dressed in all black sauntered in, and everyone smiled curiously. Louder claps followed.
"Now now, its just not over. We have the biggest show which has been awaited" Shav announced enthusiastically. Simra looked at Nainika who blinked a couple of times before finally getting up and sauntering confidently over the red carpet aisle. She could feel the eyes on her starting from both rows which yelled, 'YOU LOOK DAMN!' but none of them dared to say a word. They just had their eyes widened and dilated as the black gown enunciated the gorgeous features with her cream and honeyed skin.
"Guys, guess it! Its Couple's dance" Simra and Shav yelled manically. Everyone roared and Ryan stood up from his seat intuitively. "Good luck Ry," Rolly smiled genuinely.
"You will do it good," Lyan said,
"Thanks,," Ryan smiled. Lyan and Julyan also came for the party and they had talked much to Rolly and Ron for the past ten minutes after the ramp got done.
Hilary nervously got up and she and Delia were exchanging foot wear seeming that Hilary can't dance on that damned heels.
"Hilary, calm down and best of luck," Hilary gave her a comforting hug and Hilary gave a shaky sigh.
Hilary nervously walked towards Ryan who was standing along with other couples. They have met for the first time since the party started. He smiled admirably at her as the blue fresnel spot light showed on them magnificently. For sometime, all the cheers and squeals were muted, it was just two of them, looking lovingly at each other,
"Are you ready?" Hilary asked first. Ryan smiled and nodded, "You look very pretty," he said sweetly and calmly. Hilary blushed and gulped, he gently pushed a bang of brunette hair from her cheek backwards just so he can see enough of that pretty face, "We will do perfect. trust me." he said so ardently and deeply that Hilary smiled fully and blinked willingly.
Vri and Vincent paired, Kitty and Daniel, Annie and Sar and many other couples stood beautifully at the stage front. The back stage felt not needed. There was enough space. For now, the instrumental of 'Someone you loved' was played.
"Any guess which song it is!" Simra asked with a chuckle,
"No!" The squeal came, seeming curious.
"Guys, quiet now. Just cheer them softly whilst they dance. Don't deter the fun with the loud squeals," Rafael said seriously and the noise subsided greatly.
Ryan held Hilary protectively round her arms and waited for the song to be announced, "Just listen: I'm the judge here and you better stay quiet and respect the couples here." Nainika said seriously and everyone shut their mouths abruptly. Simra patted her cousin admirably.
Dev and Dylon came at the last moment just before the dance stared since Dylon got them late,
"Dy! Let's go!" Dev grabbed his hand and rushed on the stage, the couple looking adorable.
"The song is Turn back time by Daniel Schulz." Daniel felt weird saying his own name, "Kindly note, its not me who composed. I'm Daniel Brown, not Scultz." Everyone silently giggled. Ryan already wore the thin headphone with a microphone near his lip
Ryan and Hilary smiled excitedly as the song was played and Ryan's calm face turned magnificently personable and handsome as he begin even singing the song alongside whilst swaying her held hands in simple curves. Everyone were surprised and incredibly earnest in listening even more. The lyrics were actually away, it was just the instrumental and no one noted since the new singer was here.
"We used to run red lights and never look back
We used to chase long nights, nothing wrong with that" he begun euphoniously,
Hilary admirably smiled at him, her bounds on elation hiding nowhere.
"'Cause I loved you and I lost my mind
And now, I try to leave it, oh, I try
But you still haunt me no matter where I go" Ryan sang so mellifluously and perfectly that Hilary felt like he meant everything he said. The rhythm pulsed into them.
Simra whistled at them loudly. Nainika gave a thumbs up.
"And you hated my lasagna but you came back for more
You got me running circles in your favorite store" The dance between them was perfect; everything from their breathing to how their feet moved stayed in sync.
Even Annie and Sar were perfect and initiated with the dance, definitive moves at each verse.
"And I lost you and I lost my mind
And now, I try to leave it all behind
But I still see you no matter where I go" Ryan smiled at her, swaying their shoulders delicately in accord, lovingly and carefully swirled her, holding her one finger in his hand, trying not to be fast. Hilary smiled, resisting the blush.
"If I could turn back time and make it all alright
Only a piece of you and me will keep me warm all night
If I could turn back time and rewrite every line
If only I could, but baby, I can't" The voice was so soothing and meaningful that Hilary felt bewitched and enchanted. He brashly pulled her away back clasping her hands tighter and pulled closer towards him twice with same move, their feet tapping in accord. He turned her elegantly, his body in tune with the slow music. Yet, there was a sort of harshness to him, like he was someone who shouldn't be underestimated. It felt so masculine and charming.
"So I'ma scream, shout, let it all out,
And scream and shout and let it all out for you, for you!" The profoundness in the way he enunciated 'you' made everyone gasp with shinning eyes and they clapped undeniably heartily,
"So I'ma scream, shout, let it all out
And scream and shout and let it all out for you, for you" Hilary closed her eyes and pulled the fast move and crashed gently against him, only to open her eyes and see him gently offering his voice for her, tapping his fingers on her waist as he held around. Hilary almost laughed at the sensation.
"Thanks," she said him with a huge grin, creating dimples.
He nodded barely, "I hit you up like, "Hey girl, can we talk right now?
I know you're far away, girl, can we hang right now?" he sand the lyric gently and everyone had to be quiet to appreciate his amazing voice.
"'Cause I loved you and I lost my mind
And now, I try to leave it all behind" It was gentle with a small smile on his face, their move being almost like nothing and just holding each other, almost giving a pause, almost expressing himself silently.
Daniel was serenely enjoying, grateful for each and every moment he has got now to spend with Kitty, holding her and staring at his goddess. Kitty admired him heartily, slowly staring him.
"But I still see you no matter where I go
I know it's getting late, girl, I don't care right now
I tried to call you on the phone, girl, but you don't pick up" They left their hands standing at an angle and looking at their sides and away from each other. This was one of their planned moves which was rare. Slowly they entwined their fingers of one each of their farthest hands at the center. It was a beautiful scene.
Oli and Misty stood up and took the roses and walked quickly towards the stage front and showered roses upon them and smiled. They both smiled with blush.
"If I could turn back time and make it all alright
Only a piece of you and me will keep me warm all night
If I could turn back time and rewrite every line
If only I could, but baby, I can't" He turned her with swerve and desire and it was followed by their fast moves which they didn't start till now, Hilary obeying his moves
"So I'ma scream, shout, let it all out
And scream and shout and let it all out for you, for you
So I'ma scream, shout, let it all out
And scream and shout and let it all out for you, for you" They held their hands of opposite one creating a x, bewildering everyone and they continued swaying coyly and firmly until they had cautiously held the right hands and his other hand trailed down her waist and in the next moment, he had her rolling and swirling her for a longer time, holding her one of the fingers in his one hand. Hilary curvaceous-ly swung and it didn't make her giddy and she was doing it heartily, symphonically in his rhythm.
The last verse was gonna be skipped which was planned, and Ryan immediately realized that it was the trick; he pulled her, holding in their final position, keeping his hands gently around the waist, her hands finding its way raking round his neck, almost clasping his hair; keeping his lips close to her forehead, almost touching, but not fully, their eyes closed with contended and gentle smile. Hilary didn't knew about the song, she just followed the rhythm and her rightful partner.
The pairs stopped and everyone who were holding their inevitable squeals let them all out and stood up from their seats and grabbed the flowers placed on the front border of the stage front and crushed the petals and showered them on all couples.
Hilary didn't even move a bit even in that huge mayhem of squeals and cheers. Ryan gently kissed her forehead, and much to his surprise, Hilary let him.
Their day to day practices involved her domineering over him with her fast moves, and she would tire him, but now... he'd had her. He has powered over her and she was willing to give in.
Annie pulled back, still holding Sar closely, and staring him softly in true admiration. She was contended for having such a gorgeous boyfriend who truly cared for her. Even though he had thought of presenting her a dress for party, he gave up when the girls decided to do twinning.
"Stop staring like that. My cheeks are burning, " Annie felt scrutinized at his gaze, almost squirming. He smiled and gave a peck on her cheek. She giggled softly and pinched him on chin.
"Aw, that hurts. Why on chin? Couldn't it be elsewhere?" He said chucking,
"I love that mole on your chin." She said cutely. They laughed.
"You know Vri, I try look ahead for more of our friendship after this." Vincent said with a grin,
"Me too, Vince-pooo!" Vri smiled gladly.
"And we witness the couples not even bothering about the winner and results! Since they are so passionately involved in each other!" Oli yelled hilariously. Everyone just gave a loud "Awww!"
Ryan moved back and examined Hilary. She smiled at him wordlessly. "For me, it doesn't matter who wins. With you, and this dance, I've already won." He said maturely. Hilary nodded earnestly agreeing with him.
"You never looked so beautiful as you look today because I've never paid attention towards you." Daniel said passionately. Kitty looked in his eyes in determination, yet the softness was there, "I'm a jerk. I don't even deserve you. Not even friendship, let alone..." he stopped.
"I'm always there for you," she said in a soft tone, "Whether you deserve me or not,"
"Awww! I'm so flattered now, should I announce every couple here as winner?" Nainika yelled over the microphone with a huge grin that seemed to blast. Simra laughed. "Nainika, you really think you can judge amongst these stunningly gorgeous couples!" Rafael blasted his voice.
"Ryan!" Lyan, Rolly, Julyan and Ron yelled, "You were awesomely awesome!"
"You both look good!" Ron yelled amongst the cheers keeping his palms around his mouth for the voice to be heard,
"Vri! You're damn awesome!" Ezabella yelled, "Cheers for Hils!"
"Kitty must be the winner!" Simra shouted, keeping one hand clasping on Nainika's shoulder!
"Kitty, Hils! You were awesome!" Misty showered flowers again.
"Okay, let's just calm down," Shav finally said as the cheers seemed immortal.
The noise subsided finely.
"Everyone please be seated," Nainika said politely and everyone obeyed. The couples have walked down the stage and all of them stood in the aisle one behind the other, waiting for the results to be announced,
"Firstly, you all were awesome. The moves, the passion, the love, the effort you've all put is worth more than this trophy," Nainika said confidently, Rolly was holding the tray with trophy as told by Daniel.
"I'll be so bad to just to give this cup to one couple... but, the competition is competition. So the winner will be announced," she smiled,
Rolly was excited because he knew Ryan would win,
"Give a huge applaud for," Nainika paused and smirked, "For Ryan and Hilary!" she said with a grin. The winning couple almost bursted in emotional happiness.
"Ryan!" Hilary hugged him elatedly. "We won!" She said closing her eyes. Ryan pulled her back and nodded, "Let's take our rightful trophy," he smiled gladly at her.
The other couples also equally were hyped even though they lost and they all cheered for them,
"Ryan and Hilary!" The crowds yelled constantly, causing them to blush. For a moment, Ryan really wished if this was true, if Hilary was really his beloved girlfriend. He looked at her and smiled, even though her eyes were at the trophy ahead at the stage as they walked on the aisle. Even Dr. Evyan who has recently arrived was smiling at them and Rolly threw a glare at his direction. Miss Linn smiled softly in admiration as the couple walked on the stage and held the cup given by Nainika, they held it together between them for few seconds till the clicks died down. Nainika smiled at them and patted on their shoulders,
"Congrats you two dummies!" Simra hugged both of them abruptly, causing them to flinch. Rafael laughed, and when she moved back, he hugged Ryan, "Congrats kiddo, you two deserve this." He said meaningfully. Ryan almost has his eyes little cold due to happiness. 'If it wasn't for your stupid matchmaking, you dumb, I neither would have won this nor would I've Hilary so close by me today,'
The couple walked up the aisle, receiving hugs and congratulations from everyone almost.
"And now comes the other award for the best teacher!" Simra announced, "Miss Linn, you deserve more than this! Please accept this trophy!" She yelled loudly and joyously. Linn smiled and walked to the stage and took the trophy giving a peck to Simra. "Thanks so much for teaching us. I can ever forget you."
Rolly snatched the microphone, "Really Miss Linn, Thankyou so much for being a lovely teacher!" He smiled and watched Dr. Evyan's reaction, "Thanks for being kind, for never throwing impositions at our faces every now and then, for never bragging at us for being late at your class! Thanks for all of it!"
Dr. Evyan fidgeted a little, and Simra and Ron laughed, joined by other First years. Miss Linn chuckled. Misty walked to the stage,
"The next award is for the best piano audition!" She smiled angelically, "Please give applaud for Bhavya and Ezabella!" She yelled enthusiastically. The girls walked up and took their trophies with large grins. "Stop grinning too much!" Margot chuckled casually. The winners got a warm hug of congratulations from Margot. Shav took the microphone,
"I call upon Rafael from Interns to take the rightful trophy for leading the football team and winning the football match!" Shav announced and more cheers from the players followed, a few threw balls at him, almost.
He cautiously took the trophy with a unbounded smile and had it snatched from his teammates, hooting for him.
"Congrats Raf!" Simra and Nainika wished,
"I call upon Rolly on stage for leading the cricket team and winning the match!" Shav announced, "Please take your trophy! You and the team deserve more!" Rolly proudly took the trophy and grinned satisfactorily. "We won!" Ron hugged him and the girls cheered, "Woo!"
"Now, I call upon Vri for being the badminton champ!" Another announcement arouse more squeals and Vri happily took her trophy.
"And now, I call upon those two amazing guys who are prodigious at Instrumentals! They deserve this!" Oli announced, holding the largest trophy. Ryan and Rolly were excited for this. They grinned victoriously at each other and ambled to take the trophy, which they both held together, and it was heavy. Ryan smiled at Ryan, looking at him in unblemished admiration. However the guy was busy in sharing his joys with Rolly.
"And now, it's time for titles," Dev announced, "We just have Miss Fresher this time, and no Mr. Fresher,"
"Sorry guys," Daniel said,
"Any guesses who that stunning, daring girl is!" Nainika yelled, "Guess it!"
Squeals and loud voices mentioning Hilary's name, Ezabella's the most.
"Guys..." Daniel sighed, "I'll announce it and myself give this Slash to her," Simra gave the blue coloured Slash to him which that written, "Miss Fresher 2k14" written on it.
"Tell it already!" The crowds yelled dangerously,
"It'll be you Hil!" Margot guessed. Delia smiled joyously, "And we're gonna get a treat!"
"And, I'm gonna say it," Daniel broke the cliffhanger, "Its our lovely Delia,"
Delia's eyes widened and she almost gasped, "Me?" She blinked a couple of times.
"Please come here!" Simra said,
Delia traipsed nervously to the stage and the slash was put on her shoulder which reached her knees almost. "Congrats sweetie!" Daniel smiled. Delia was a lot surprised to see him smile which was not flirtatious. She smiled a little edgy.
"The next title is for Miss Beautiful," Shav smiled and everyone smirked, eager to see who was that girl who would claim this title, "Any guesses? Any," She asked enthusiastically.
"It should be Hilary!" The junior boys squealed, and Hilary flustered!
"It should be someone else!" A few other squealed. Ryan was looking curiously at Shav for her to announce,
"If it's your gf, we get a treat," Lyan chuckled in Ryan's ears.
"Treat?" Ryan scowled.
"And its Ezabella!" Shav and Oli holding the same microphone yelled.
Ezabella was stunned and thrilled. A big smile took over her and she joyously ran towards the stage and had her slash.
"Congrats sweetie," Misty said with a wink.
"Aww, thankyou. I'm so flattered," Ezabella said and the pictures were clicked.
"The titles are over!" Simra announced, "I think everyone are hungry seeing that the drinks didn't replace your hunger. So are you ready?"
"Yea! We are famished already!"
"Our throats are cursing us!"
"The cheering damned my energy!"
"Alright," she mumbled something to Daniel who nodded and rushed out of the auditorium.
"First Years and Third years, and Faculty, we request you to make a line and head upstairs to the dinner hall for dinner," Rafael announced.
The students respectively eagerly rushed out of their seats and made their way outside, with talks and the general pandemonium of excitement. Miss Linn and Dr. Evyan also followed out.
"Annie, just guide them," Kitty said as she picked her purse to join her.
Shav, Simra, Misty, Dev, Nainika and Oli thumped on the seats, feeling utterly crumpled and tired. They were seated one beside another, head on each other, ready to go in a good sleep,
The auditorium was less crowded seeing that two hundred students were upstairs at the dinner hall, and now the auditorium consisted of three hundred students who were less noisily chatting, giggling, conversing, joking, romancing and what not.
These girls were numb to all those actions though.
"I feel like I'll pass out now," Simra sniggered,
"You'll, " Nainika eyed her, "After the huge amount of hosting you've done after just recovering from your sickness," she said bluntly,
"Thanks to Oli and Shav, Misty too for helping me there," Simra barely smiled and the trio nodded.
"Sorry, I didn't help you," Nainika said sarcastically,
"I didn't mean that. You and Rafael are always meant to accompany me, so I needn't need to mention," Simra smirked,
"Oh whatever" Nainika said, "Dev, why were you not interested in hosting."
"She's a peaceful person. I never imagined her hosting like we did," Shav giggled lightly,
"I really can't. Picking up Dylon from Airport was a huge work itself." She sighed,
"Its okay,"
No words were further said, the girls just rested lightly, waiting for the first round of dinner to be over, so that they all along with Daniel and Rafael can have dinner together. That's the reason First years and Third years were send, but Dev just stopped alongside.
Annie, Kitty, Daniel and Rafael were upstairs, just checking if things are fine and the arrangements didn't go anywhere wrong.
A little later Daniel and Rafael came back to the girls,
"Tired already huh?" They playfully said,
"I'll not argue," Shav opened one eye to answer that,
"Relax," Daniel smiled, "I know you all are drained off pretty much, it was a huge challenge today for us."
"Kitty and Annie are outside, they are currently engaged in a cola drinking contest,"
"Really?" Nainika's eyes slightly opened,
"Yeah," Daniel nodded, the two girls came in.
"Hey, you two are done?" Rafael asked,
"Sort of," they hiccuped, Annie being first to recover.
"The dinner upstairs is going smooth." Kitty said as she took a seat beside the girls and Annie joined. It now was a long row of eight girls sitting closely.
"Our ratio has become 1 is to 2," Daniel laughed. Misty and Oli chuckled at their statement.
The two boys sat in the next row, just relaxing for some time, because Dylon and Sar has taken their places for hosting at dinner upstairs.

Hilary was amazed to see the dinner hall. It was the most magnificent place.
"Wow...look at the waterfalls. " Bhavya smiled with widened eyes,
"I can't believe they wrote that with red roses," Hilary stuttered incredibly,
"This turf gives me a sensation like I'm in garden," Delia said,
"Girls, eat fast. " Ezabella gulped the chicken.
"You really look hungry," Margot chuckled,
"We'll click pictures around that waterfalls and Freshers 2k14 wall after eating!" Vri chirped.
"Yeah sure," Delia nodded slowly. The girls were sitting on the same table along with few other classmates and were peacefully enjoying.
It indeed was beautiful, even the word seemed insufficient. The lanterns above shone, the waterfalls clinked and twinkled with sounds of bellows.
.
.
.
"I just want to dive in that waterfall!" Vincent chuckled,
"You can, you know unless you want to die of electric shock there," Rolly snickered,
"Ouch," Vincent raided the food,
"What does your blatant absolute silence means?" Ron asked, eyeing Ryan.
"The guy is eating peacefully, just let him," Lyan said calmly.
Ryan didn't say a word and delicately and manner-fully completed his food.
"I feel like I'm still alive now," Ryan remarked after eating the food,
"You do?" Julyan laughed, "The dance took your energy,"
"Oh yeah," Ron agreed,
Once the food was over, the guys sat on the small parapet wall at the waterfall, teasing and taking.
Occasionally, Ryan glanced at Hilary, careful that none of his friends noticed. But still, he was grateful for having a nice time with his friends who were all loving and caring, except when it came to teasing unrestrictedly.
Ryan wondered why Nyhan didn't come along with Lyan and Julyan.
"Ny was having Finals in Austin there. Forget him." Julyan appeased a tensed Ryan.
"Ryan, we are here for you. Just forget him," Lyan placed a comforting hand on his shoulder,
"Is Ny your bro?" Rolly and Ron asked,
"Yeah, I think so," Ryan said sarcastically, "He was pestering me all through the week,"
"What?" Lyan and Julyan asked in shock, stooping their forks in the course,
"Telling me that Freshers was a waste of time, and I should better concentrate even more on studies." Ryan said tersely.
"Tch, he should know that this is part of life here. We don't have any thing to enjoy after today, all back to studies." Ron said little furiously,
"Hey, don't worry," Julyan appeased to Ron , "He's like that,"
Lyan looked worriedly at Ryan, "Just listen to me carefully," he said sharply in a heavy tone. Ryan looked at him as he abruptly paused,
"Excuse me," Ryan got up and Lyan followed, going out of the dinner hall, and standing near the steel rim of balcony on the same floor, which was silent. Hilary noticed him tense as the duo walked out. She blinked worriedly.
"How's he?" Ryan asked, looking at the crowd of boys playing KINGs on the ground floor, outside the Auditorium.
"As ever he was." Lyan said impervious to the tension that was building, "Look Ryan, you're here- Away from Austin, away from Nyhan and your mom. There's no one to give snide remarks or pull you down. You're gonna be a doctor!" Lyan looked seriously at Ryan who was still staring at down floor, "Don't remember what happened all those years. You've such good people here. I can see how much they love you. I hope their love and friendship can replace all those feared and empty voids in your heart,"
"They're filling it. I feel like I'm actually living ever since I came here." Ryan said narrowing his eyes intuitively, his voice almost simpered.
"Ryan..."Lyan looked even more worried, "I know it scares you still and you go nervous wreck and suicidal at times somewhere inside," he almost shed a tear.
Ryan looked at him with mouth slightly open in worry, "No, I'm happy here. Just tell him not to pester me. I mean, can't he text me like normal brothers do?"
Lyan nodded hastily for him to continue, "Like how brothers are, like how you are, Julyan and Rolly, Ron others are."
"Don't let the ghost of his words get to you. You are grown up, mature, you definitely know what's to be done and how. Nobody needs to interfere." Lyan consoled,
"Exactly," Ryan snickered, "Just explain him that. Tell him to text me goodnight sometimes with good emojis. Tell him to appreciate me sometimes. I'd feel lot better and I'd feel hyped for him to talk then," Ryan said painfully, trying his best all of it.
"Hey, I'll explain him," Lyan worriedly held his hand. Ryan blinked hopelessly at the situation, he removed his coat and breathed in, feeling cramped.
"What's wrong..." he whispered, "There is something that you're hiding." Lyan said with puckered brows,
"I know it's not Nyhan. I'll still accuse him," Ryan gave a brief mundane laugh.
"Forget it," Lyan tried to distract him, "Just block their numbers,"
"I was thinking the same," Ryan said jadedly, "Mom will not stop. She'll pester me and she'll force Nyhan to do the same."
"We all know Ryan, that its not your brother. It's your mom behind those messages," Lyan said carefully, "Just don't let it get to you,"
"Why not?" Ryan was angered, "Nyhan doesn't pester me, but he never objected anything what mom says and does to me, and its all wrong." he was almost sort of shouting, but nobody heard him except Lyan.
"Will you just listen me once," Lyan shook his head,
"Let me finish," Ryan interrupted, "I feel like I'm an oversensitive, paranoid psycho who's taking little scolding and taunts like how it looks to world, too much to heart and getting abnormally extremely tempered. They make me look like this!" He groaned,
"Nyhan cried when you left! You know that!" Lyan yelled to stop his inevitable complains,
"Oh nice," Ryan said dropping sarcasm.
"Fuck you." Lyan scowled hard,
"Tell him that I miss him too." Ryan said softly, "Only him from that house." Ryan placed his arms on the steel ridge and leaned, "He doesn't like disobeying mom, be she was right or not," he said,
"Ryan, you've been so happy few minutes back," Lyan said regretfully, "How peaceful and contended you look while you're dancing, while you took your trophies, where's that happiness gone?"
Lyan shook him softly over arm, "Its my fault, I shouldn't have said a single word about Nyhan,"
"Nyhan didn't do anything." Ryan said, Lyan frowned, "Then,"
"And that's what hurts," Ryan said. Lyan took a few seconds to understand the two meanings in the same sentence,
"Look, you've wonderful friends here, I know you love them all and you're happy. Don't let past destroy this." Lyan said in a low voice,
"I will never come to Austin for holidays, I'll say I'm sick," Ryan said,
"Even if Nyhan invites you?"
"After all the nonsense I got in those messages, no." Ryan pointed,
"Fine, let's enjoy for now. I've come here from Austin with Julyan just to meet you."
Ryan sighed, "I'm sorry,"
"No you don't-"
"The stupid messages just got on my nerves." Ryan said,
Lyan took his phone and read the messages, which spoke about in a degrading manner, almost scornful of how he must have been studying, and the posts on Instagram of their Freshers and everything about it was crap was useless and waste of time. There was much to it and about Ryan as in a horrible scolding way which deterred all Ryan's practices.
"Hey Kiddo!" A familiar voice called him, "What's wrong, you okay?" Rafael walked towards the duo.
Ryan just looked away, "Is everything alright?" He looked at Lyan. "Introduce your friend,"
"Oh, I'm Lyan, I'm from Austin," Lyan said,
"Good, I'm his senior, Rafael."
"Oh, nice." Lyan nodded casually.
"What has taken my favorite junior's mood so down?" Rafael asked in appease, trying through his jovial tone to cheer Ryan,
"Its personal, and none-" Ryan said coldly,
"And it's none of my business and stuff, I know. If it's your mom or siblings pestering you regarding the event or your academics," Rafael said flippantly, "Then you can gladly block them everywhere, drink some cold juice and go on a long drive all night," he said very casually and easily,
"What are you even saying? It's as if nothing-" Ryan said calmly with narrowed eyes. He was trying to be polite, but he wasn't still doing his best,
"Dude dude, calm down. Look," Rafael took out his phone, "I'll show you the messages of my mom and elder sister who has left no stone unturned in texting me with murderously scary messages and all sorts of horrendous warnings to come back home during Freshers," Rafael said coolly,
"Why?" Lyan asked curiously. Ryan stared, nerved,
"Because... they think," Rafael's voice became comically dramatic, "that I should not waste my time as Freshers is waste of time and energy even after knowing that I'm the senior most student here. They blatantly say that others can handle things here."
Ryan almost looked sorry, "Hey," he stuttered, "I'm sorry." He said,
"Its okay buddy," Rafael smiled consoling, "If I had let these words get to me, then this party today wouldn't have been possible. You all know how much efforts and responsibilities we've taken," Rafael said.
"Yeah," Ryan said, thinking,
"Just go and enjoy with your friends today. From Monday, Dr. Evyan will make you forget everything. Its gonna be not easy. Lot more is left for tomorrow, let's just not destroy today we've worked for." Rafael patted him, and left. Ryan realized how stupid he was being. Of course, his thoughts and feelings were valid since he was a late teenager, but now that Rafael expressed how he can cope up and shouldn't be pessimistic, and can still be happy, he really felt that.
He smiled, just like how used to, calm soft, personable and accepted.
He saw the crowd of students stampeding out of the dinner hall, heading down to auditorium. Rolly, Ron and Julyan joined and they cheered, heading down.

"Girls, I'll just make an announcement, you all head up." Daniel said along with Dylon.
Dev nodded. Everyone has enough rest, now they wanted to guzzle the food at dinner up.
"Everyone, I hope you liked the dinner!" Daniel said cheerily, which was followed by agreeable squeals and yells, which showed that they had eaten more than enough and were recharged.
"Well, just have your time, till then 2nd ,4th years and Interns will have dinner." Dylon said and much alike Ryan or Dev, he was also very calm.
The crowd of eight girls dressed in black, four guys of their team stampeded out and headed cheerfully to the dinner hall which was as lovely as it was yesterday,
"Its just indescribable," Sar said admirably to Annie and she nodded with a smile. After all, they were the the ones who decorated the hall.
Misty entered in first and reserved a table, adding two more chairs in it.
The large senior group came in, stampeding carefully inside.
Daniel, Dylon, Rafael and Sar sat with Kitty, Dev, Simra, Annie beside them respectively. Misty say next to Simra though, and the chain continued with Nainika, Oli and finally Shav being next to Kitty.
"Where's food!" Simra and Nainika banged inevitably hands playfully on the table.
"Will you shut up, both?" Rafael glared at them. They immediately stopped and everyone giggled.
"I can't believe we all are sitting together, it's so memorable," Misty smiled. Everyone smiled back at her at her quality words.
"I love the decor so much," Simra said since she hadn't previously seen it, "Annie and Sar, you both rock!" She giggled softly.
"Thanks," they smiled.
"Guys, it's really beautiful we all are together." Dylon said with a sigh in glee.
"I really feel so hungry," Shav said, sighing. The next moment the waiter has loaded their table with uncountable dishes. All of their mouths watered,
"Hey, I've a request," Nainika said nervously. Everyone looked at her,
"Let's just forget the manners for sometime?" She chuckled,
"Let's just gorge upon!" Shav suggested.
"One," Rafael said,
"Two," Dylon continued, the girls picked their spoons and forks,
"Three!" Sar said quickly and everyone immediately started attacking food, getting attention from rest of the tables.
They ignored everyone, it seemed like they were famished,
"You guys, just slow down!" Misty said as the four boys were very quick in guzzling the food,
"Return that chicken stick, Daniel! Its mine!" Kitty warned pointing the fork in his direction. They laughed,
"Now its mine!" Daniel flippantly ate it.
Kitty snatched another chicken stick from his side,
"Slow down, Annie, I don't want you to become fat!" Sar smirked, Annie simpered and pinched his chin, much like he disliked.
"Ouch, ouch! Please leave, I'm sorry!" Sar yelped in pain.
"Good," Annie retorted with a grin.
"Dylon, take some inspiration from Dev, be a bit faster, dude!" Oli commented, Dev looked nerved,
They chuckled. The best part was when Nainika and Simra fought over the leg piece and it ended when Shav took it and ate it peacefully, shocking the two girls.
"If it was possible, you'd have taken all this food to your room!" Kitty commented as Daniel's only focus was on food,
"I'd have, Kit," Daniel said funnily. He nodded.
Once they were done, all of them found hard to get up, but they nonetheless tethered.
"Let's click pics!" Misty suggested.
They felt the idea was good.
The group of twelve stood before the waterfall and asked one of their colleagues to click their pictures, with various poses. Later the girls took singles, doubles and the guys got tired very soon.
"Kitty, its enough, let's head back," Daniel said as she took pictures with Annie and Misty,
"Wait,"
"Sar, don't stare me, the pic won't come good if you do,"Annie said as she winked at the camera Shav was holding.
"Phew..."
The guys got ultimately bored. "When it comes to girl's photo shooting session, its immortal," Dylon sighed. Rafael nodded hopelessly.
A few more minutes later, the crowds headed to auditorium and everyone were eventually gathered.
.
.

Ryan and Hilary were standing near the backstage, exhausted, but exchanging small lively talks. They were standing near the pillar closely and talking, Ryan's mood being lively and cheerfully calm,
"Even I loved the decor so much," Hilary gave a light smile,
"Waterfalls, did you all clicked?" Ryan asked curiously.
"We did," She opened her phone to show him,
"Send me later, I'm having you live infront of me, that's not needed," he gave a gently suppressed smirk.
Hilary bit her lower lip, preventing the flushed laugh, "Sure," her glance from downwards rose to his eyes, "By the way Ryan," she asked, "Were you okay upstairs. You looked tensed when you went out," she stated,
Ryan rolled his eyes with a pinch of sarcasm, "Leave that. I was a bit upset but I'm fine now," he smiled at her.
She judged his expressions, "Sure?"
"Hm." Ryan took a step closer and brushed his thumb beneath her lower lip, "Slight smudge. It's good now," Hilary's cheeks visibly heated and Ryan pretended to ignore, aware that it was instinctive. Hilary's eyes looked at his thumb which was unfazed and still. Seeing that she didn't protest, he continued stroking very slowly and leisurely, resting his other fingers on her side cheek, his eyes fixed anywhere but her eyes. Hilary's eyes dilated at his action, but she was befuddled and enthralled under his close presence. Ryan's face was calm and focused while Hilary was trying to say something.
"I-Is it still there?" She managed to mumble causing his thumb to move in accord,
"Hm," he blinked out of his beautiful trance, "Nope," he moved away his fingers, looking in her yet widened eyes.
"Did you took the drinks?" Ryan asked, changing her mind of fumbling thoughts.
"Ah, I thought to but I almost forgot," Hilary said with a thought,
"Oh, so are you fine getting like high?" He seemed a little nervous. Hilary gave a small giggle, "Yeah I do. I've drunk before. What about you?" She asked,
Ryan gave a squirmed smile, "Actually I have never even touched alcohol. Honestly, my mom was very strict." He gulped. "I can't even sip it a bit," he laughed slowly.
"Really?" Hilary gave a amused look, "You're so cute and innocent, Ryan!" She intuitively wrapped her fingers around his, and clutched his palm,
"Whatever," Ryan felt a little left back, he rolled his eyes, whilst loving her touch on his fingers.
"No, you're really some perfection." She couldn't hold her admiration, "I think I wouldn't mind doing my PG with you," she giggled and Ryan has to just shut up before her stupendous beautiful face. In the next moment, she took their clasped hands and held on her chin, expressing her exhilarated admiration, his fingers touching her fair skin. He smiled back and she continued her silent giggling thinking this guy can't be cuter!
As the senior crowd entered in, Rafael spotted them, and he smiled at them. 'I guess he's fine now. Hilary's a good friend,'
Daniel, Shav and Misty headed to the stage front and got every one's attention.
"I hope the dinner was awesome!" Daniel said joyously,
Everyone cheered heartily,
"2k14, the college loves you!" Misty said,
"2k14, last year, we had just Mr. Fresher, and it was Sar, and this year, its Delia," Misty continued, "Please cheers for them," Everyone turned to the two and squealed.
"Guys, listen one thing." Shav said softly in a light serious tone. Ryan and Hilary who were on the back stage walked down the aisle and sat in a row, one beside another, listening to the announcement, holding their chins in their hands.
"I know that this night is probably the last enjoyable event for this year. Just don't forget that you're precious," Shav said strongly, everyone were in all ears, "Don't let any pressure, anyone, any words, any feelings pull you down. You all are gonna become doctors, don't be weak, stay strong,
Simra smiled at her words, "She's my friend, awesome as always, "
"Really..." Oli smiled,
"Don't like anyone's words, their accusation or anything, just ignore them. Don't let it effect you. You all are gorgeous, nascent, naive, a little, and I wish you best of luck for the rest of the years in this college!" Shav winked, biting her lip. Everyone stood up and clapped,
"She's really right," Ryan mumbled to himself. Rafael looked in his direction, 'I hope you understand, kiddo...'

Life was still going on. Ryan, like he promised, took Hilary on date on the other day. He also later had a tour of Florida with Lyan and Julyan. Hilary loved going on with him, because it made her feel protected, wanted and loved.
Academics felt heavier. Each day became insufficient. They had to study daily. The dance hall, the sports block, the M Hall became lonely. Lunch time was the break to laugh, to get themselves off from the loads. Saturdays were craved. Ryan would use music hall on Sundays, play guitar his heart out, and enjoyed trying new instrumentals of songs. Delia continued to be Miss Fresher, and people admired her.
Seniors became even more busy and the Final years almost cried by the end of the years, since Shav, Simra, Rafael would be leaving the college officially.
Ryan and Hilary's friendship grew. They respected each other, shared talks, helped each other during tests, motivated each other. Hilary was slowly forgetting Kai. Her thoughts were more occupied with Ryan. She'd listen all his favorite songs before she'd sleep, drowning in the music. He'd read the lyrics of her recommended songs. He'd try to know her more with each day passing. He would talk to Nyhan on phone, never asking about his mom. He missed his brother, he felt that. And much to add to his woes, he felt like broken when he realized that Rafael would be leaving soon. 'Now, who'll pester me to take Hilary on more dates after you're gone, Raf?'
"Kiddo, we'll stay in contact. You can come at my house anytime." Rafael smiled at him.
Shav and Simra applied for post graduation entrance and they prayed if they could study in Florida itself. Misty's Final year was over and she was overtaking a nice job soon.
Nainika was told she and Simra might be parted depending upon the results of Entrance exam, and she might have to leave the home,
"You little witch, you can't leave me just like that!" Nainika furiously said her.
Simra sighed sadly, "Your sister is just away, she has not left you. I'm in your heart,"
Kitty topped each test in their class, Daniel took the motivation. Annie and Sar's friendship grew and their evenings would be spend in libraries and reading rooms.
Oli did her best in academics, and always received the best remarks from the professors. Oli and Nainika studied together in rooms.
As for Ryan, Freshers and First year was the most memorable day and year of his life. He has kept the memories and each moment tugged to his heart safely.
"Nothing is as beautiful then the life you're living right now, kiddo," He remembered Rafael saying him during his ragging session in the start- First Year was the most beautiful of all. He couldn't deny how true that was. He had kept his trophy that he shared with Hilary safely with him. Rolly also had let him kept their shared trophy of Instrumentals with him. Rolly and Ryan were the closest of friends, and the two wouldn't give a rest to tease each other and make the other burst in inevitable laughter. Ron was the wise one, he kept the friendship between the three stronger.
First year felt good.
