3rd person's POV

Rayansh lazily woke up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He looked at the clock - 8 AM. Groaning, he dragged himself out of bed and headed to the shower, turning on the cold water to wake himself up. After a quick shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom, running a hand through his damp hair.

He walked over to his closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a casual black t-shirt. He got dressed and glanced at himself in the mirror, quickly styling his hair. Once he was satisfied, he grabbed his phone, wallet, keys, and a leather jacket before heading out of his room and descending the stairs.

He was about to leave but the servants stopped him and asked him to have breakfast before he leaves. He shrugged, "I'll just grab something from the cafeteria once I get there" saying that he hopped into his bike and left for college.

After a while, he stopped outside the college and stepped out, his confident walk attracting a few stares. Mostly from girls. He's very popular among girls. Girls die to get his attention. As he walked through the campus, heads turned and girls glanced at him, whispers following him. Ahaan didn't notice or care, though. He was used to it.

He finally reached the cafeteria and sauntered in, heading straight to the counter and ordering a large coffee and something to eat. Ahaan made his way to a secluded table in the corner of the cafeteria, his brooding aura keeping others at bay. He took a seat and pulled out his phone, scrolling through his social media accounts while munching on his breakfast. Some time later, his friends entered the cafeteria, spotting Ahaan and making their way towards him. Vian and Radhika joined him at the table, their cheerful banter filling the air.

Vian spoke up first. "Hey, sleepyhead, you finally decided to grace us with your presence?" He smirked.

Rayansh swatting Vian's hand away. "Oh, shut it. I'm just fashionable late.
Unlike you guys, waking up with the sunrise."

Radhika chimed in, an impish grin on her face. "More like waking up with bed hair and drool on your pillow."

Rayansh feigned offense, dramatically placing a hand over his heart. "Oh, please. You're just jealous I look good even after just rolling out of bed."

Radhika said being annoyed, "jealous my foot. At least I'm not using my charm to impress new targets every week."

"Damn.. Radhika.. You should try. How long you're gonna droll over this same toy?" Rayansh replied in sarcasm.

Vian said being furious, "come on man I'm not her toy. We love each other."

"yeah yeah.. Got it. By the way freshers are coming today. New students new girls.." Rayansh said with a satisfactory smirk on his face.

Vian rolled his eyes, used to Ray's constant flirting habits. "You're unbelievable, man." Vian said while shaking his head.

Rayansh smirked, "What can I say? The ladies love me."

Radhika chimed in, "More like the ladies are blind."

Rayansh feigned offense again, "Ouch, that hurt."

Radhika continued, "We're just telling the truth, man. You never change."

Rayansh chuckled, "Change what? I'm perfect just the way I am."

Vian chimed in, "Sure, perfect at breaking hearts and shattering dreams."

Rayansh shrugged, "Can't help it if I'm irresistible."

Radhika rolled her eyes, "Oh, please. Don't be so full of yourself."

Vian added, "Yeah, just remember, your charming smile can only get you so far."

Rayansh feigned offense once again, "You guys are just jealous of my natural charm."

Vian chuckled, "Yeah, right. We're soooo jealous of your revolving door of hookups."

Radhika added, "We're not jealous, we're just concerned for your lack of commitment."

Rayansh leaned back in his chair, a smug smile on his face. "Hey, I'm just enjoying my college life. Why commit to one girl when there are so many options out there?"

Vian shook his head, "You're going to end up alone one day, you know that right?"

Radhika couldn't help but chime in, "Yeah, and good luck finding someone who can deal with your ego and player tendencies."

While they were talking Rayansh's eyes fell on a girl. Rayansh's attention immediately shifted. There was something different about the girl. A mesmerizing aura. The way she walked, , it was captivating. His eyes were fixated on her, his previous conversation with Vian and Radhika completely forgotten.

He watched as she conversed with her friend, a smile playing on her lips. There was an effortless grace to her movements. It was clear that she was unaware of the impact she had on him.

Vian and Radhika noticed Rayansh's sudden change in behavior. They followed his gaze and saw the girl he was intensely staring at. The guys exchanged a knowing look. They were used to Rayansh's womanizing habits.

The bell ring broke Rayansh's trance, pulling him back to the present. Vian and Radhika chuckled, clearly enjoying his distraction.

"Looks like someone has a new target," Vian teased, a smirk on his face.

"Who said she's a target? I was just admiring her beauty, that's all."

Radhika rolled her eyes, "Yeah right. You always 'Admire beauty'. We all know what that means."

"Alright, fine. I'll admit she's attractive. Can you blame me?"

Vian chuckled, "Admitting it is the first step to recovery."

Radhika chimed in, "But seriously, you haven't taken your eyes off her since she walked in. Interested much?"

Rayansh shrugged, trying to seem nonchalant. "Maybe a little. Can you blame me? She's gorgeous."
But his eyes betrayed his casual demeanor, constantly drifting back to the girl. He noticed every minute detail about her - the way her hair fell over her shoulders, the way her lips pursed slightly as she spoke, the gentle curve of her smile...

Vian and Radhika exchanged knowing glances again. They knew Rayansh had found his next conquest. But there was something different about his reaction this time. Usually, Rayansh's interest in a girl was fleeting, but this time his gaze lingered on her longer than usual.Vian leaned in closer, a sly smile on his face and whispered "Looks like someone's found a new flavor."

Rayansh's eyes widened as he realized his friends' observation. He tried to play it cool, but his interest in the girl was undeniable.

Radhika raised an eyebrow, "You never go for the shy type. This one seems different." Vian nodded in agreement, a smirk on his face.Rayansh shrugged, trying to seem unfazed. "I don't have a specific type. I appreciate all kinds of beauty."

Then they get up from there and went to their class.
