Doom Or Destiny

Crush at first sight

Jaanvi's POV:

A fresh morning and I'm all set to begin my journey in my new college. Nishta left early since she had to prepare for Fresher's Orientation and she informed that we will have a series of boring welcome speech by the faculty in the college auditorium. I prepared myself mentally for the not so interesting part of the day. For the first day I had managed to pick a simple white salwar and Piya dressed in a blue salwar. Once we finished our breakfast, we walked towards the college entrance. Hostel block and our college buildings were at a good 10 mins distance, good enough that I don't have to bother about jogging or exercising to digest my food. To be honest, I'm not really an athletic person but I have managed to maintain a healthy physique always.

Soon we reached the college and now we have to ask for directions to auditorium since we were practically lost in that gigantic building. I checked my surroundings and struggled to find someone who can help and I heard someone speaking.
"You just have to smile and ask for directions, that's all "
and I turned towards the owner of the voice.

There.....I had my infatuation at first sight.... Exactly it's just infatuation since I'm meeting this person for the first time and I hardly know this good looking stranger.
But... who wears black blazer on the first day of college? Is he someone important?
Why did he approach me on his own? What are his intentions?
Is he from a bully gang? But ragging is strictly prohibited in the campus... and he looks too decent to be a bad boy...
And my tiny brain started to overwork without my command.

Piya nudged me so I can return to reality and he was still waiting for my reply.
Oh shit... Was I staring at him like a creep till now? Will he think I'm desperate? Shit... How did I manage to damage my first impression with my idiotic behavior..
urghhhh I'm such a fool...
But again... I continued to remain on silent mode.

Since I'm officially lost in the imaginary conversation with my brain, Piya asked him the way to auditorium and he gave us the directions. She thanked him and dragged me with her. After few steps I turned back to look at him and he gave me that proper heart fluttering smile.
Damn.... why didn't Colgate cast him as their global ambassador... I would have brought entire warehouse...
Wow Jaanvi Avasthi... Congratulations... you have managed to make yourself a fool in front of a good looking potential crush on the very first day of your college, way to go girl...
I had no option but to repent the disaster. If only my brain could slap sense at that moment and prevent this embarrassing encounter, I would have been bit more thankful for it's loyalty. But nothing of that sort happened...
Fortunately Piya didn't bother asking anything and we reached the auditorium without anymore nuisance.

Once the auditorium was filled with freshers, the really boring usual melodrama of self boasting started. This torture continued till the last person on the stage finished his speech. I just took a glance to realize half of the students had ignored the speeches just like me. Piya being a good girl kept listening to each and everything, Thank God she didn't note down anything to prove her sincerity. Formal program finally ended and I thought we can go back to our classes but soon a certain someone walked up to the podium and took the mike and my lazy and sleepy eyes were wide open now.

There stood my crush in his black blazers. May be now I can call him my crush since its been few hours that I met him for the first time. But that's not the important thing right now.... the entire auditorium with screeching noise became pin drop silent as soon as he took control.
Not bad, my man has a strong leadership aura, I'm impressed.
"But he isn't yours Jaanvi "
my brain mocked me.
Oh no... how can I ignore such important information. Anyways every pup has a day, mine is just to be printed on calendar. So let's move on ok.
I felt like my conscience would be rolling eyes at my stupidity, if it was actually possible.
