       Amaira carried both her  suitcases and backpack and entered the college. She was wearing Pink sweater, Black jeans and Purple scarf. Pushing back her small hairs towards the back of her ear, She walked towards the entrance but before she could reach someone pulled her arm.

     She turned back and saw a beautiful blonde girl with Red top and Blue skirt up to her knees with crossed arms and was smirking at her. There were two girls beside her who had black hair and both were wearing top and skirt.

     "Not so fast, you think you can easily enter this building, then you are so wrong my dear". The blonde girl said and smirked.

     "You will have to answer my  questions and your answers will tell me whether or not you can go inside. Firstly What are you? Who are you? and Why are you? and second is this the type of fashion sense you are going to use in this college for five years?". Asked the blonde girl.

     Amaira stood there with panic in her mind, she didn't know how to react ,what to say, Finally words came out of her mouth. She said "y- yes" shakily. All three girls laughed wickedly and pointed their fingers towards her. Amaira felt ashamed, she felt her tears sting her eyes, she didn't know how to react. Everyone near the entrance was laughing at her.

       That's when someone interrupted "BACK OFF! EMILY. This is your last straw. How many times should I tell you not to bully other girls? ". Amaira wiped her tears and looked beside her.

        There stood a tall broad shouldered boy with black hair, wearing a dark green leather jacket and Black jeans with white sneakers.

   He stepped forward with Fury in his eyes and said "If that's how you are going to treat other freshers than mark my words it will take me less than a minute to take off your fancy Girly Clubs from the College Clubs".

   Emily's expression changed, she seemed frightened. She straightened up her hair sheepishly smiled and said "Karan don't be so angry, We were just welcoming our new student we didn't want to hurt her" and made a innocent face. "Yeah, I know how welcoming you and your group are, now let that girl go and say her sorry". Karan said.

   Emily then turned to Amaira, took her hand and shaked it and said "sorry" with gritted teeth. Amaira nodded and the girl's left glaring at Amaira.

  "Don't mind them, they are mean to everyone. I am Karan Bhatt by the way and you ?".asked Karan. "A-Am-Amaira". Amaira said shakily. "Hey chill It's ok, I know it's your first day no big deal if those girls once again scare you just tell me ok." Karan said.

   He then smiled and left to join the boys group. Amaira was speechless, she never ever faced this kind of situation in her life. But then Amaira smiled, she felt alive and said "Amaira, welcome to college life".
