The University of Ataraxy

Part 2

 Amanda was brown complexioned with her twinkling amber eyes. Her fuzzy brown hair from the ponytail flew with the wind. "Yutika Deshpande."

"Deshpande- No way, you must be Yuvraj." Yutika was surprised but clearly, Yuvraj wasn't. "Yes hello." He said as he shook hands with Amanda. "First branch?" Asked Yuvraj. "You bet. Could you please help me get to the university?". "Of Course."

"Do you two know each other?" Yutika asked. . "No no., he's one of the top ten students from the university." "Huh?"

Yuvraj put on a big smile. "So, where do we have to go?" asked Yutika. Yuvraj held his hand in a namaste as something sky blueish came out around his palms.

The three of them suddenly seemed to be going down and down. "What is happening?" Amanda gasped as Yutika clung to Yuvraj's arms. Students were rushing here and there. And just like them, many other students were coming down and down in what Yutika would call lift, though transparent. It went through the floor. "Oh my God." Yutika and Amanda couldn't believe their eyes. Yuvraj's happiness overflowed like the wind that was playing with them. The new year was on.

There were rooms everywhere and teachers and students were seen strolling. The teachers had different outfits than the students and were rather easily noticeable. "This is crazy." Their lift-slash-whatever vehicle it was rushed through a few more walls. "Jump." said Yuvraj as he jumped on the floor, landing smoothly. Yutika jumped after him and so did Amanda. "Wow..." Exclaimed Amanda. What lay before them was utter magic. The floor was actually a corridor. There was no specific wallpaper around them, the colors changed every now and then. Many rooms or chambers as they call them were at the right and left. "Will see you guys later." Said Amanada as she rushed ahead. "Woah," said Yuika.

"Hey, look who's there," said a boy as three of his friends came near Yuvraj and Yutika. "Hey Yuvraj," said the boy who shook hands with him.

"Hello Leo."

"Is that your sister?" Asked another boy?".

"Yutika." She said and shook hands with him. Leo was red haired and the other two were blonde. Yutika continued to stare at those dreamy blue eyes. Yuvraj pulled her away.

"Come on. Okay we gotta go to the hall. And Stay away from them." He whispered when they were far.

"hmm? They seemed good. Really pretty."Yutika said as they continued walking. "Well, they're not." Yutika nodded.

"Hey Yuvraj," said another boy. Yuvraj smiled and shook hands with him on the way. "Oooooh..." exclaimed a few girls as Yuvraj and Yutika went by.

Yutika could't resist smiling from the obvious attention she was getting with her annoying brother.

"Hello Prince." said a gorgeous green eyed, blonde girl, probably of Yuvraj's age. Yuvraj sighed, his throat stiff.

"What do you want Irasina?".

"Iris. Not Irasina, Prince." She winced.

"Excuse me." He said as he got ahead, pulling Yutika's hand.

"There's still time for the gathering. Where are you going?".

"To the hall. Mind your own business." He said. She smirked and asked, "What about you? Who are you, newbie?". She said as she pulled Yutika's jacket.

"Yutika. Any problems?". Said Yutika with a look of great bitterness on her face. She didn't like the mean girls, she wasn't getting bullied this year.

"Oh, dear, how sad. You're not even a bit like your brother."

"You got something to say?''.

"I'll talk with you later prince."
