"What happened?", I asked. "There are a lot of my cousins over there. If they see me, they will force me to play along with them...especially Ella!", she sighed,"...we'll go there later", she completed. "Let's go to the drawing-room instead.", she said. Now the drawing-room of that house was not just like any other drawing-room...it was a breathtaking drawing room with an enormous television, turquoise green couches faced towards it, and a beautiful chandelier up on the ceiling along with pretty lights. It felt like Claudia's house was a palace and she was the princess. As we sat down on the comfiest couch ever, I heard a familiar voice, "Claudia!!!".S

               COLLEGE DIARIES                      EPISODE:52           ...The place I was invited to was nothing less than a palace. The structure was extra huge and looked beautifully lavish and posh. Colored fairy lights hung on the trees along with a water fountain just outside with a roman sculpture on it. It looked so high class that I hesitated to ring the bell, thinking that I have arrived at the wrong place. When I rang the bell, a lady with a white apron opened the door.  "Yes?", she questioned. "This is where Claudia lives if I am not wrong?", I asked. She smiled at me and was about to say something when I saw Claudia behind the lady, on her phone. Thankfully, she saw me and when she did she hurried up towards the door. "Nancy! Why don't you take her inside?", she said to the lady and then to me, she said, "Daisy! I am so glad you showed up! Come on in! Welcome.", she said, grabbing me by the hand, in her house. As I said before,

                   COLLEGE DIARIES                            EPISODE:51                                        ...On Wednesday night, as I was tidying up my room, my phone started ringing and the biggest problem with me is that sometimes I don't even look at the display to check who it is. Stupid me. It was mom. I always, always, always rejected her phone because I hate her more than anything. Anyway, that moment I had to talk as I had unfortunately picked up her call. "It's been almost five months you are ignoring my calls, Daisy! What is wrong with you?!!!", she screamed at me. "Nothing's wrong with me, mom. I am just very busy with my studies these days." "No, you are not. You are busy partying away these days. Don't even try to argue! I know you are just hanging and roaming around everywhere!", she shouted again. I sighed. She was such a headache. A big, big headache. I felt grateful that she was not here...with us. Then she talked abo

             COLLEGE DAIRIES                      EPISODE:50                ..."You are telling me that  creep saved y our life?", asked Sophie when I told her about everything the next day. "That's what he did." "No, no, no, no, Daisy, no. I don't think this can be even legit. Look, what if your stalker and Pete are connected in some way and maybe he did all this to create a good image in front of you? It's possible, right?", she said. I thought, "But he looked quite genuine...you are clearly just overthinking!", I said. She sighed. "Arguing with you is like wasting one's time. Anyway, did you tell Ethan regarding this?" "No.", I answered. "I think you need to tell him because-" "No way am I telling him, he will directly take me to the cops and then all the police question and answers...I have always wanted to stay away from all that!".She sighed. "I don't know, Daisy but things ar

What you need to do is move your rear foot to the front along with you looking straight ahead!", I said while teaching her one of the techniques for about the sixth time. The door opened. It was Alice, one of my students. "Alice! You are late.", I shouted because she had to be late for every single class. "I am sorry, miss...but someone stopped me while I was coming here..." "And now you make excuses?!", I said, because it's tough to believe someone who makes excuses every time. "No, miss! Honestly, there was this person who gave me a letter", she said, coming forward,"...and he told me to give it to you." "Who gave it to you?", I asked, my heart suddenly starting to beating faster. " I don't know, but he was wearing a black hoodie".My heart sank

                     COLLEGE DIARIES                                EPISODE:48               ...On Tuesday, I got another creepy text which read, "You think this is all a joke? ...Great disasters take time...wait and watch". Trouble was, I undoubtedly thought it to be a joke and decided to ignore it. 'If anything would have happened...it would have happened till now...and how can someone ruin my life? Whatever!', I thought at the back of my mind only to realize later that it was a big, big mistake.                     **************  I get the biggest surprises of my life when I turn around and mind you! Surprises can be very good or very bad. The next day, I locked up my bike at the college bike stand and turned. I saw Ethan standing a distance away with two of his friends and what I saw...I couldn't believe my eyes...Ethan was smoking. He was smoking a cigarette. At first glance, I thought my eyes were playing a joke but then I realized that no, this is for real

                               COLLEGE DIARIES                               EPISODE :47            ...That night I texted Ethan 'Happy Birthday' at exactly midnight and after that even tried calling him but his phone was engaged. The next morning, I was grocery shopping when I saw a newly opened book store. I decided to check it out and I am glad I did because I got the most amazing gift idea for Ethan's birthday! It was a newly released copy of 'The Puppets, part 2'...I mean for someone who has read part 1, he must be eagerly waiting for the second part. So, I bought the book, and to date, I call it the 'Last-minute gift'.I had texted Sophie the previous day to be present at the party and she was kind enough to come much much earlier to help me out. At about seven in the evening, there was a bell at the door and I was preparing the dessert so I asked Lucy to go for the door when she said, "You should go and open the door, give I'll comple

                                               COLLEGE DIARIES                                 EPISODE:46             ...The next day while I was doing the laundry, our doorbell rang at about ten am. Lucy went for the door but when she returned and I saw her cheesy smile when she looked at me, I realized it was Ethan. "Good Morning grandma", he said and then looked at me, "Good Morning Daisy!" "Good Morning!", I said, setting up the washing machine timer. "Your phone's dead?", he asked. "Dead? No, it's alive...I mean, it's working.",...I can be very stupid sometimes... "Is it? Are you sure?", he asked confused. "Anyway, you are coming tomorrow, right?", he asked. I looked at grandma who was already looking at me and said, "No...I am so sorry I won't come.", I said looking away. "No probs, just a second.", he said, took out his phone, and started typing. After about five mi

                    COLLEGE DIARIES                                 EPISODE:45            ..."You rejected his invitation!!! DAISY ARE YOU WITLESS?", shouted Sophie when I told her the whole story. "I am not going over there to feel awkward among a whole bunch of billionaires." "He won't let you feel awkward, Daisy. You should not have-", and while she was talking to me and giving me all the unneeded advice, my phone buzzed. It was a message which read, "Three hours left...sweetheart...REPLY or I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE."My heart started beating like crazy. 'Ruin my life...as in what?', I thought to myself. Here I was horrified to death and there was Sophie, giving me all the bits of advice in the world. Suddenly I felt so numb after reading that creepy text that I couldn't hear or feel anything. I didn't understand what was happening...nor did I understand why was it happening. "Hello? Hello? Are you even listenin

                              COLLEGE DIARIES                                 EPISODE:44       ... Later in the day, I was studying a book related to Logo study when I heard someone come and sit right next to my chair. Firstly, I got a great shock when I looked up because I assumed it to be Sophie, okay let's be honest, I assumed it to be Ethan. But, it was Pete. I had never seen him at the library before, so I don't know why he came. "Hey! Good Afternoon...what are you up to?", he asked in his usual tone. "Umm...just studying...", I replied. He took the book from me and inspected the cover. "Logo Study?" "Yes, just having a tough time with that subject.", I replied. "I am a big fan of Logo design, not to forget an expert as well. Any help needed, you can ask me.", he said with the creepiest smile. "Sure.", I said as if I was ever going to ask him to help me out. "So, did you make your mind about the movi
