'Starting of a new Journey In Crush!'
⚝──⭒─⭑─⭒──⚝

Bella reluctantly unpacked everything. Adjusting with the room and new environment was a little bit risky task for her.
As Bella was sitting on her bed and taking sneak peak at the blue sky above their dorm was pleasing to her. The warm cascaded sunlight continues emitting through their window. She could see the Crush College from her room and students walking lazily to classes. As it is first day she don't want herself to be late.

Climbing down from the bed and her legs moved to washroom area. Doing the routines she directly went to pack the bag for the day. Glancing ag the watch she saw Jossie and the gaming girl still sleeping with snores high pitched.

"Fuck girl wake the hell up! Don't be late on the first day itself."
Bella shouted and Jossie and gaming girl woke up with a little yawning and stretching their hands.

"What's the time?"
Jossie asked.

"It's 8 hurry!"
Bella yelled.

Jossie and the other girl jumped down from the bed and did their routine and rushed behind Bella who was still waiting for them tto get ready. They directly went to the canteen.
"We are so late on first day."
Gaming girl murmured.

Jossie eyed her.
"And then you stayed late in night till 1 pm in game."

"That's my alcohol! I can't withdraw it."
"Then be late."
Jossie replied with anger stiffened.
"Girls please stop and eat fast and not just sit there enjoying the taste of burgers."
Bella said taking her plate and going to washroom.

"Fuck her, is she some kind of studious type ro go to class early?"

"Don't know if you don't want to join us sit there and enjoy your burger till end of the day or join us."
Jossie said running to washroom finishing hers.

"No I am up for late classes."
Gaming girl yelled and run behind them to catch up for the classes. When they reached their block classes was already started. Lecture speeches itched their ears. Jossie said.
"I am pretty sure that grumpy professor beat us to death or pour with questions."

"Shh don't worry come be brave on these situations."
Gaming girl gritted her teeth as she heard Bella and silently followed them into the doorstep of class.

"Sir!"
Bella called out professor. All students eyes snapped out from the board and to them. Some students murmured and giggled on seeing their panting state with heavy heartbeats. Even the professor feels pity for them.

"I am not scolding you on first time, come and find yourself a seat in back."

Students laughed. When the professor glared at them they stopped giggling.

"Late comers are always in back!"

Bella hesitantly entered the class and Jossie , gaming girl followed her and find the seat at the back. There was only three seats left at the last row. Each of them settled and unpacked their bags and they started eyeing each other.

"What!"
Bella mouthed.

Jossie took a paper and scribbled something and throw at Bella when professor turned to write something on board.

"The gaming girl was angry on you."
Bella read it and written back.
"Don't worry I understand and don't care it. Maybe show doesn't suit us."

Jossie took the fallen paper and opened it and read and show the thumbs up.
She knew there has to be something upcoming on the first semester itself. The 2 years of Crush College will be something unique.

Class whispered with the lectures for half an hour. The bell ranged letting professor out of class tirelessly.
Girls gathered at Bella's seat.
"Should we go for a tour at the school."
Jossie said.
"Yes we should.."
Bella replied.

"What about the gaming girl should we whether with us too?"
Jossie said.

"Well we can ask."
Bella replied. Bella dragged herself to gaming girl and crouched near her seat.

"Are you coming for a tour around the college or you sitting here?"
Gaming girl eyes started watering as she saw Bella's eyes concerned for her.

"Hey hey why crying?"

Girl began whimpering.

"I ma sorry or yesterday night I didnt mind you guys."

"It's okay come that's absolutely not necessary for you to say sorry."
"Okay thanks."
Bella helped her from the seat and Jossie smiled.

"By the way what's your name?"
Both asked resulting them to giggle. The first time Jossie and Bella saw her laughing from her heart from yesterday when she used to all be a coldy now it seems different.

Maybe it's the after effect of being introvert. Getting into a group of friends and trying to mingle with them at first day will be a challenging task for introverts.

"My name is Jane Itsy..."

"A beautiful name. I know your parents had a unique fast for names when you born."

"Yes all of them in my school said that!"
Jane said.

"How you guys get to know about this University?"
Jane asked.

"My sister studied here and I heard the school is conducting ball party for every department to get to know each other."
Jossie said with a cheerful expression.

"Wow that's so exciting when will be the ball!?
Bella asked.

"It will be near and we hard to find a partner for it."

"That's hard for me!"

"I am not a pretty look at my bobbed hairs which boys like bobbed hair girl, they like Bella type girls who are pretty, little and medium height, and fair skin with long hair and also blond."

"Don't exaggerate it girl you are pretty and you won't see it until you realize it."
"Bella smacked Jane.

"Let's wait for the day and wait for an encounter with a boy on the pretty hallways of Crush!"
Jossie said eyeing the boys walking their side. She out an ugly expression.

"I am excited."
Jane said.

"How are we going to find them?"

"Wait girl if there is one for us he will come for us on the perfect time."
Jossie said.

Jane said joining Jossie.
"There is a proverb, 'there is nothing we can stop if there is something get to come for us'."

"Jane is scoring recently."
Bella yelled.

"Those are my little words of advice!"
Jane smiled.

Group of girls wandered through the hallways and get passed by many boys.
Jossie said.
"None of them are my taste."

"Some are giving creepy vibes."
Bella said little loud.

"Huh?" A male voice peeked in between their slow mode chat.

"What do you said?"

They heard the voice and turned back. But the bell ranged.
Bella heard him as Jossie and Jane walked into class. Bella was stuck on the boy who just whispered to her and walking away. The boy's face was was giving her wine taste of love twinkling inside her heart. She get into the class as professor also came for next hour sections. Bella took glances at the door of the class remembering the whispering encounter.

Flipping through the pages she couldn't focus the lecture. The whisper of the boy was still in her ears echoing resulting to grow the romantic connection. She couldn't process what was happening inside her but she knew strange events are yet to start in her life. She was pretty sure she will fall in love when she come to Crush. She hasn't dated anyone still.

The day went non challengingly as Bella Harper still in astonishment of meeting her love at first sight. As soon the bell rang she ran out of the class without waiting for Jossie and Jane and their head were up when they see her running . The canteen was again in crowd. She stood near the counter without any hesitation hoping to spot him anywhere.

Jossie and Jane came laughing.
"Is this your stop!"

"Shh! Go and take your food and enjoy it I will come."
She replied still her eyes wandering among the crowdy talkative students. Jossie and Jane walked away with a sigh to the counter. Canteen was a rushy area with students and staff. Her legs didn't allow her to stand little more at the counter finally she took the plate and passed over to collect her food.

Going into spaghetti counter she said to staff.
"Only little please."

"Why little you are thin!"

Again the same voice interrupted. Snapping from reality she turned to the voice but he got mixed with the crowd and and group of girls covered them the boy group. She couldn't get his face clearly like last time. The blurred visions of his face still immersed unknowingly admired inside her heart.

Grabbing spoon and fork she went to Jossie and Jane.
"Why you are silent Bella something is going on your head!"
Jossie asked.

"Nothing just tasting the egg fry and watching the cafeteria."

"Oh girl we believe. Tell me is there some boy got stuck on your little heart!"
Jane asked with bewitching evil smile.

"No!"

"Bella dont lie we have been observing you from the last lecture."

"I said there's nothing. When it happens I will tell not now."
Bella yelled sternly tearing the egg parts into pieces in frustration.

"Okay fine!" Jossie said gritting her teeth.

Jane sighed.
"Girls don't fight over a simple thing. Let's give her time Jossie."

"Yes okay."
