Ritik, Raj, and Purva stood confidently in the open campus of their college, soaking in the atmosphere of their second year. The sun hung high, casting a golden hue over the campus, where the energy of new beginnings buzzed all around. Ritik, in his white t-shirt, denim jeans, and signature black leather jacket, looked effortlessly cool. His chiseled jawline and devil-may-care smirk made heads turn as students passed by. Girls whispered to one another, eyes glued to him as if he'd stepped straight out of a movie scene.

"So... who's the next target?" Raj, his best friend, asked with a wicked grin, glancing at Ritik with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

Ritik cracked his knuckles, his mind already spinning with ideas. "Last year, hamare seniors ne hamare saty bohot maje kiye the nai???? " he said, his voice low and mischievous. "Now it's our turn. This is our time."

"Oh, definitely!" Purva chimed in, her eyes scanning the crowd.  "We’re the seniors now. It’s payback time!" She flipped her hair confidently, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boys. Her voice dripped with excitement.  "Who’s up for some real fun?"

Ritik laughed, the sound deep and dangerous. "You know, ragging guys is getting boring. We need to spice things up." He cracked a grin and looked at Purva. "Let’s target a girl this time. Ladkon ke make utha utha kar thak gaya hun!!"

They shared a conspiratorial laugh as they scanned the crowd. Their eyes locked onto a girl standing by herself, looking a little lost but adorably innocent. Her long, black hair was tied in a simple braid, and she wore a modest pink kurta with jeans. Her eyes, wide and curious, scanned the bustling campus like she was trying to soak everything in.

"Perfect," Raj said with a smirk, pointing subtly in her direction. "She looks like the kind who’d be fun to mess with."

Ritik sized her up and down. There was something about her innocence that intrigued him. "She’ll do."

The three of them sauntered over to her, and as they approached, the girl looked up, her dark eyes locking with Ritik’s. She didn’t flinch or back away, and for a moment, Ritik felt a strange flutter in his chest.

"Hey, new girl," Purva sneered, her voice loud enough to turn heads. "First year, huh? Class mil nai rah????"

The girl, who they later found out was Aishwarya, raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak right away. She studied them carefully, her lips curling into a small, amused smile.

"What’s your name?" Ritik asked, crossing his arms and leaning forward slightly, trying to be intimidating.

"AD" she said quietly but confidently. Her voice was soft but clear, and the way she looked at him made Ritik pause for a split second. There was something unexpected about her—innocent on the outside, but there was a spark in her eyes.

"WHAT??? WHAT'S AD??" Purva exclaimed

"AD'S MY NAME" She answered.. her lips curving into a mischievous smile..

"Well, AD" Raj chimed in, stepping closer. "We seniors have a tradition here. First-years have to give us a little… entertainment."

"Yeah," Purva added with a smirk. "It’s only fair after what we went through."
