Aaravi was a quiet, introverted college girl who spent most of her time alone, lost in books and daydreams. She watched her classmates laugh and bond effortlessly, yet she felt like a shadow-unseen, unheard, forgotten. Even when she tried to join conversations, her words seemed to fade before reaching anyone's ears. It was as if she didn't exist.

The only person she truly talked to was her boyfriend, Rohan. But even with him, she felt misunderstood. He listened but never really heard. Whenever she tried to open up about her loneliness, he brushed it off.

"You're overthinking."
"Just try to talk to people more."

His words felt like a wall instead of a bridge. No matter how hard she tried to make him understand, it was always the same.

One afternoon, as she sat alone under the large oak tree in the college courtyard, flipping absentmindedly through the pages of a book she wasn't really reading, a soft voice broke through her solitude.

"Hi, I'm Mira. Do you mind if I join you?"

Aaravi looked up, surprised. The girl standing before her had a warm, inviting smile. Hesitating for a moment, Aaravi finally nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips.

For the first time in a long while, she felt a spark of hope-a connection forming in the unlikeliest of places.

As the days passed, Aaravi found herself opening up to Mira, sharing dreams and fears she had kept hidden for so long. Mira listened intently, never interrupting or dismissing her feelings.

"You're not alone, Aaravi. We all feel invisible at times," Mira reassured her, her words a gentle reminder of unseen bonds.

That evening, as Aaravi reflected on the day's events, the unfamiliar warmth of friendship still lingered in her heart. She realized that being seen started with seeing herself-accepting her own worth, no matter how others perceived her.

"Maybe I'm not just an echo," she thought, her spirit renewed with the promise of new beginnings.

How does it feel not being able to confess your love to your crush? Ella has always been in love with her senior from the moment she laid her eyes on him. Now that it is his final semester at the college, she has no way but to gather her courage to confess her love. But it is easier said than done as her crush just happened to be a serious, strict and no-nonsense type of guy who sees her as nothing more than a rich spoilt brat. Welcome to Ella's eventful and dramatic life that surrounds her long-overdue love confession. ~~~~~~~~ [Blurb] "Did I hear it right?" Sam turned to me, "you are interested in Michael?" He asked me unbelievably. "Yes, is that a problem?" I raised my chin. Sam chuckled. "Of all the things, you selected the project to confess your feelings? You do realise that you are the bottom-ranked student and he is the top-ranked in his batch and a university gold medalist?" "I have no other way to approach him. Michael is not interested in anything else and we don't have much time left," "How can you be so sure that it's Michael?" "Because I believe in destiny," I said. "You know, 'Someone somewhere is made for you, I think that person is Senior Michael for me and I am in love with him." "What!? You love him?" Sam stopped on his track. "Yeah." "You sure are weird," he muttered. "Anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing you prove it." "What about the project?" I looked at him hopefully. "Since I am the...um...last-ranked student in the class, he won't select me." "I will think of a way," he promised. "Thank you, Sam!" I said excitedly. "I will never forget this help." "I am so looking forward to seeing Michael falling head over heels for you," Sam winked before walking away. (The pictures/ cartoons/ anime images are taken from google.

Geovanni Have you ever gotten that feeling that somebody was watching you? And that person who was watching you wasn't normal. I have felt that way all of my life; but then again I felt as if I went missing nobody would even notice or care I was gone. I am 23 and just graduated from college. I was there an extra year because I had to take care of my family. I had to transfer back into the city and pick up the extra work because my mom died, and my dad became addicted to anything that would numb his pain. My little sister and brother would be lost without me here. But now I could care less. A cold breeze blew through my window waking me up from my thoughts. I looked over in the corner and saw that nothing was there. It was odd because I felt like someone well more like something was there. It had to be my imagination getting the best of me. I laid back in my bed and closed my eyes. Then all of a sudden I got the feeling I wasn't alone. But the really strange thing is that even if there was someone in here with me I felt safe. Jordan. I watched her as she slept. In fact I have been watching her since she was born. I have waited half a century to find that one person. I think I have finally settled on her. She was my choice. I know. After being in as many relationships as I have you know things. I felt my fangs tingle. Her blood smelled so sweet. Her heartbeat was steady and strong. I took my tongue and ran it across my fang. The temptation to indulge in her red liquid was far too strong. I let out a low growl and jumped out her window. I was ready for a hunt. "Did you see her Jordan?" "Yes, and tomorrow night you will turn her," "Why do I have to turn her?" "Ezra, you know once you turn them, they hate you," "I didn't hate pops," "You wanted to join though," "True, but first see if she wants to be turn before you jump to conclusions," I nodded my head, before me and Ezra took off to find some fresh blood for the night.

Alex, a new student at Breakworth College studying art, struggles with being on time for class. With a lack of friends and no social groups, he finds himself alone and helpless. One encounter after another with Zack, he finds himself debating whether or not Zack is really homophobic and a downright asshole or is trying to hide something about himself; only time will tell. --- I had two options: Say yes or make this situation worse for myself, Deciding on option two, "Zack, you're acting pretty gay for someone who's homophobic," I said slyly. I knew this could only cause him to get angrier, but I knew it was true he was the one who called me a "fag" not even a week ago. "I'm not gay, unlike you; I just know how to get things I want, and you caught my eye. Being my friend is a blessing. You should take the offer," He said, still against my neck. "Aren't you cocky," I replied, trying to stand my ground. Gripping tighter on my waist, he hummed against my ear once again. "I'm getting impatient, Alex. Cut the crap. Say yes already so we can put this past us. I already know I can get you to say Yes," and in a barely audible voice, I heard him say, "I know your weakness". "Now, what weakness could that be-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence before a set of teeth sank into the sensitive flesh of my neck, sending an unexpected wave of pleasure through me. "W-wait, not there. Fine, fine. I'll be your friend. Just stop that shit." Zack paused, his breath hot against my skin as he chuckled. "That wasn't so hard, was it?" His tone was dripping with satisfaction, revelling in his perceived victory. He pulled back slightly, his eyes locked onto mine with a predatory glint. I tried to steady my breathing, my pulse racing from the conflicting sensations. "What is wrong with you?" I muttered, more to myself than to him. The fear and arousal mingled in a way that left me feeling disoriented and vulnerable.

"So.. go on a date with me?" I can't stop looking at him. He's just so beautiful. As he always was-just ten years younger. Same brown eyes, same lips, that boyish charm. The only difference is the hint of innocence in his gaze and the curiosity in his expression. No doubt he's surprised by my sudden question. I can't really blame him. His boring, nonchalant classmate of one year has just asked him out after a nice evening together. But I know he'll say yes. He has to. He never said no to me. I can't wait to plan all the amazing, adventurous dates with him, to make him feel special this time-just like he did for me. I'm eager to get to know him all over again. That's when I hear mumbling. "Hmm?" I ask, not hearing him properly. "No. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. I had a great time today, Anu, but I don't see you that way. I'll have to decline." I can hear my heart breaking. Funny, isn't it? All your life, you think: Okay, this will be my last heartbreak. This guy will be the one. He's going to make it all worth it. And then, suddenly, life throws another failed attempt at love into your bucket. If I can manage to get rejected by my husband of three years, then there probably isn't any hope for me. . .

Their life was perfect, built with love, laughter, and quiet mornings wrapped in each other's warmth. But in the blink of an eye, everything vanished. She woke up not in their home, but in a college dorm. Not as the woman who ruled boardrooms, but as a twenty-year-old student. And then she saw him. Ashwin. But this Ashwin didn't know her. He wasn't her devoted husband. He was a stranger, a boy still finding his way in life. She had been thrust back into his past, into a time where she didn't belong.

In a conservative South Indian college, a 27-year-old lecturer and a 19-year-old student from a traditional family navigate a forbidden love. Their journey is filled with romance, jealousy, passion, and anger as they battle societal norms and their own emotions, leading to moments of intense connection and heart-wrenching conflicts. Their eyes met, and the world around them seemed to fade. For a moment, it was just the two of them, the music, and the unspoken connection between them. "Sir, this is..." she began, but he cut her off. "Arjun," he said softly. "Just Arjun tonight." Her lips parted in surprise, but she nodded. "Okay... Arjun. "You look beautiful tonight," he murmured, his voice so soft she almost didn't hear him. Her breath hitched, and she felt her cheeks grow warm. "Thank you... Arjun." He smiled at her use of his name, and for a moment, they forgot about their surroundings. As the song ended, there was a brief shuffle on the dance floor as students moved around. In the commotion, someone bumped into Ananya, causing her to lose her balance. Arjun instinctively reached out to steady her, pulling her close. The sudden movement brought their faces mere inches apart. Before either of them could process what was happening, their lips brushed in a fleeting, accidental kiss. Time seemed to freeze. Ananya's eyes widened in shock, while Arjun's grip on her waist tightened slightly before he quickly stepped back. "I... I didn't mean to-" he began, his voice filled with panic. "It's okay," she interrupted, her face flushed with embarrassment and something she couldn't quite name. They glanced around, relieved to see that no one had noticed the incident. "Maybe we should... step outside for some fresh air," Arjun suggested, his composure barely intact. Ananya nodded, following him out to the garden area, where the cool night air helped calm their racing hearts. ---------------------------------------------------

It was my excuse to talk to you every day." Meera: "And yet, it took you years to finally confess that you liked me." Aarav: "Hey, I had to make sure you liked me too! And you did, didn't you?" Meera: "Of course, I did. From childhood friends to first crushes... It all feels like a dream now. Our late-night phone calls, those stolen glances in college, our first awkward date." Aarav: "Our first fight too. You were so mad at me for forgetting our anniversary." Meera: "Because it was important! But you made up for it with that handwritten letter... That was the moment I knew you were the one." Aarav: "Not when I got down on one knee and proposed?" Meera: "That too. But marriage wasn't always easy, was it?" Aarav: "No, it wasn't. Balancing careers, raising our children, the struggles, the losses... But through it all, we never let go of each other." Meera: "Even when we were exhausted, even when we argued, you always held my hand at night. That's what mattered." Aarav: "Because you were my home, Meera. You still are." Meera: "And now, after all these years, we've seen our children grow, watched them start their own families. And yet, here we are, still just Meera and Aarav, like we were in our twenties."
