The story of two broken souls where she never believes in love and he always believes there is some magic in love. What will happen when they will meet? Will they fall in love or will things become more complicated?
After getting freshened up, Zoyee heads downstairs. -"Here you go, sweetheart. Your favorite breakfast to start your big day," Siri says as soon as she notices Zoyee sitting on her chair. Grinning at her mom, "Thanks, Mom. These look amazing."
As they eat, they chat about random topics. After finishing her breakfast, Zoyee stands up, kisses her mom on the cheek, and grabs her bag. -"Okay, Mom. I'll see you later." Hugging Zoyee, Siri responds, "Have a great day, honey. You'll do fantastic. Love you." -'Love you too, Mom. Bye."

With a mixture of excitement and nervousness, Zoyee heads to her dream college. Since high school days she has wanted to study forensic science here. Arriving at the campus, she takes a deep breath and walks in, her heart racing with anticipation.

Spotting a group of students in the hallway, Zoyee approaches them, ''Hello, good morning. Actually, I'm new here. Could you tell me where the auditorium is for orientation?" she asks politely.
Student 1: "Yeah, sure. It's just down this hall and to the left." -"Thanks a lot."
Following the directions, Zoyee finds the auditorium. As she entered, she was amazed by the vibrant decorations, balloons, and banners welcoming the new students. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and chatter.
Soon, she was greeted by a friendly trio. -"Hey there. You must be new also. I'm Ryan Smith." -"And I'm the worldwide handsome boy, Henry Johnson," he says proudly. -"Hey, stop your nonsense." -"What? I'm just stating the fact," Henry sulks like a kid. -"Don't mind him, he's like that since school days. By the way, I'm Isabella Brown. But you can call me Bella." Zoyee giggles and replies, "Nice to meet you all. I'm Zoyee. Zoyee Parker. So you two are already friends?" she asks pointing at Bella and Henry. -"Yes, we have been friends since school days," Henry replies, rolling his eyes.
They quickly start up a conversation, sharing their backgrounds and interests. Zoyee feels her initial nervousness begin to disappear. Soon the principal and a few teachers enter the auditorium, signaling the start of the program. The principal takes the stage, her presence commanding attention.
- (smiling warmly) "Good morning, students. Welcome to the start of an exciting new chapter in your lives. College is a time for growth, learning, and making lifelong memories. ..." And she continues.
The students start to applaud when the speech is over. Next, a senior student steps onto the stage. -"Good morning, everyone. I'm Emily and I'll be your anchor for today's orientation program. We have a wonderful lineup of activities and performances to welcome you all. I hope you all will enjoy it."
After a few minutes, the program begins with a welcome speech from another senior student, followed by a few performances. Zoyee, now sitting next to Ryan, finds herself whisper-gossiping with him until she hears a deep, melodic voice fill the auditorium accompanied by the tune of a guitar. Now Zoyee turns her full attention to the stage, captivated by the voice and the performance of that mysterious person.

As the performance ends, the auditorium fills with applause along with students shouting, "Once more." Zoyee remains mesmerized. Her eyes lock onto the performer's face as he steps down from the stage. She immediately stands up, determined to approach him. -"Hey, you okay?" asks Ryan, noticing her standing up from her seat. She just hums in response and begins to move towards the stage. Unfortunately, due to the growing crowd, he disappears from view. ''Maybe he went backstage,'' she whispered to herself.
Her attention snaps back to the stage when Emily speaks again, -"And that was our final performer. Let's hear it one more time for Archie."
The room fills with another round of applause but Zoyee's mind is already somewhere else, captivated by the mysterious performer named Archie who has not only stolen the show but also her attention.
(A.N.- Hey guys, it's me again! I'm hoping that it's neither a long nor a short chapter to enjoy. Maybe I will not be able to write the next chapter until next Friday as I have back to back exams in the upcoming week. Till then enjoy this one and don't forget to vote and comment. If you have not read the previous chapter, then what are you waiting for? Go and read that one also. Take love. xoxo)
