So here I am posting chapter 1 ...I hope you guys would make an effort to read this.

       

                                                              CHAPTER 1

"Its a dare", Rahil said. This group of four had been passing their last few months of their college days in the same manner. Bunking classes has never been the forte of students from Goenka college, but they knew these days wont be back. It was getting over, the wonderful journey of three years was almost over. The thought would send chilling vibes through their spine. 

" Ok guys..Rahil says dare, ummm.. wait let us think ..." Prashit said in excitement, sitting in one of those old world charm of college canteen. Rahil already knew by now what was coming towards him. But he was ready for it. All his college days he had been one of the most popular faces around (especially with opposite genders). What not for these guys who had seen him grow all these years and have had the most craziest time together.

" Rahil so here we have a dare for you" Rohan started after having a minute long discussions with all those grin with absurd intentions on their faces.

" Say it and i am ready"

"umm..We all want you to go to the first floor and call her out and say I LIKE YOU"

"What?"

" Yes and one more thing , it has to be on her face, come on man" Prashit added one more clause to the dare.

"Okay i'm ready, lets go" 

Rahil knew whom they were referring to, so without much hesitation he got up from his seat leaving his half eaten Samosa on the plate. He perfectly knew that this was the exact thing they would ask for as this was somehow the last ditch for him too. A fair guy , with a sharp jawline, with a frame of 5'9 with a stubble on his face. He had come to Kolkata after being admitted in this college offering him a bachelor's degree in Accountancy. To top it all , from senior batchmates to freshman year juniors all knew him quite well and many would adore his company . The group had been one of the most active members of the institution from winning a trophy in football for the college in last 35 years to that winning goal from Prashit, a fair guy again with a fair enough dressing sense. That awesome onstage proposal by Rohan during college annual event and a spot on denial that he faced even after owing the best physique . Joy the funnyman of the group. That prank he once played on Principal would be remembered for years to come.

As he moved out of the canteen signalling that canteen guy something( probably a gesture to pay his money later) he developed a sheer pale look on his face. Nervous and these guys? No way. 

There she was with her head down and her eyes just following the lines of some novel , probably written by some scholar or some literature genius. Her hair flowing down from one side of her shoulder , eyes half hidden behind those nerd specs. Rahil just kept staring her when she suddenly kept the book aside on her desk and pulled out that hair tie thing out from her bag. Slowly she had both her hands on her hair and how tidily she managed to make it into a bun and perfected it with that tie band and noticed Rahil staring her from the corridors , she looked at him and with eyebrows little crooked she shook her head gesturing him "What?"

Rahil suddenly ran downstairs and dint turn back and shouted " I can't guys, Anything but not this"

"Come on yaar, she is your crush and how does it matter when you have done this before too and this is the 12th one you had in 3 years.."

"So what, how does it matter guys , lets not do this. We are almost done with college so how does it even matter?" Rahil replied.

Yes he was too good in developing crushes, he used his damn care personality, and that attitude with a blend of college fame to impress them. But deep inside , this time he knew, she was not those one of them, and his friends also had a fair idea about this one, as had been noticing this from last 3 months.

After Rahil's incapability to complete the dare they all went downstairs and entered the common room( hub for all those carrom and table tennis lovers). By this time Rahil had a huge smile on his face, eyes shining out like a spark out of a bonfire in the middle of the night.

His heart was tingled back, igniting the fire. This was not normal for him that too when only few days were left for this golden days to cease. He was in love , In love with his crush and was falling more everytime he saw her.
