  COLLEGE DIARIES                 EPISODE:90                                   ...As everyone congratulated us, it was then time to head for whatever surprise number two was. Ethan gestured towards the Ferrari he had then gifted me. "Wanna drive?", he asked with a mischievous grin. I remembered back to the time when I had 'driven' his Lamborghini or wait! I had 'auto-driven' it. "No Thank you!", I said with a laugh. On the ride to wherever it was, I didn't feel the need to talk much. All I did was look out the window, but I could see Ethan driving and glancing towards me from time to time. I laughed, "Look ahead! Mr. Jones!".He smiled and said, "Ask me why I always submitted those overdue assignments?" "Why?" "Because those blue eyes of yours made me forget everything!".I laughed, "Oh, so now you're blaming me for your assignments?" "Of course I am!", he laughed "You can stop fl

COLLEGE DIARIES                     EPISODE:89                 ...The same evening, as one of Ethan's relatives, congratulated me, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around, it was Ethan. "Hmm?", I asked. He turned me around by my shoulder and what I saw or should I say, 'whom' I saw freaked the hell out of me. It was mom. My mom. She had tears in her eyes but those tears didn't look sad ones they were happy and sparkly tears. She was dressed in a black blazer and skirt. For once, she had a broad smile on her face when she looked at me and me being a nut, I didn't know how to react. I looked behind for Ethan and saw him smiling at me from a distance away. Mom held my hand, after which she quickly hugged me and kissed my forehead. "Daisy! I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry!!! I know you hate me, don't you?".Seeing her teary-eyed made my heart a little weak which led to tears in my eyes as well. "Mom, no!!! I love you! And I'm glad

COLLEGE DIARIES                   EPISODE:88                       ..."So, Daisy...promise me you won't turn around after I take off the blindfold?", Ethan questioned, charm in his voice. "I won't!", I replied. He loosened the blindfold and took it off my eyes and what I saw in front of me was heaven. It was a golden Ferrari and it was beautifully breathtaking. It was decorated with loads and loads of mesmerizing golden and black balloons. There was a card on the car with 'FOR DAISY' written on it. I gasped. I was about to turn around when he said, "Okay, now turn around...".Turned out that turning around was magical!!!! I saw a huge, huge crowd of people a distance away from me, smiling at me. Small kids waving at me like I was some kind of celebrity. I even saw grandma, Lucy, Sophie, Claudia, and Eva all smiling from ear to ear. Honestly speaking, I did not understand what was going on until I found Ethan disappeared. I looked behind. &qu

COLLEGE DIARIES                   EPISODE:87                         ...I went for the door to find a middle-aged man dressed in a white driver uniform. " Miss. Rosa?", he questioned. I nodded. "Come. I am the driver for the Jones family and I have been appointed to drop you and your family off at the party." "Umm...give me a second.", I said and closed the door behind me. I dialed Ethan's number, "Hello? Daisy?" "Ethan! There's this person at the door who says he's your driver, is it?".I could hear him laugh. "What's funny!", I said angrily. "When he said he is, then why do you doubt?" "Because I have been stalked for months!" "Okay, I get you. Now, stop doubting and come over! See you soon!", he said and hung up. Sophie, grandma, Lucy and I got in the black Mercedes and in no time we reached the Jones' mansion. I got out of the car and was astonished and amazed to see how be

COLLEGE DIARIES                   EPISODE:85                        ...One week remained for Christmas and I was at university that day. Actually, it was the last day of college for the year and it was a half-day. I had some study to complete, Sophie did too and Ethan had some of his assignments pending, so we three had decided to complete our work together in the cafeteria-our favorite place so that we can be free for our Christmas holidays. As I entered, I saw Ethan right away, his back toward me, and was busy working on his laptop while two of his friends were busy discussing on some sheets of paper. When they saw me come, they got up and gestured Ethan for him to look behind...in a cheesy way(of course). "Hi Daisy, Good morning!", he greeted, turning to face me. "Hello!", I said as my gaze went over to the laptop screen. It was a beautiful photograph of nighttime scenery with a full moon and it's delightful reflection in the lake. "Have you clicked thi

COLLEGE DIARIES                    EPISODE:86                   ...It was finally Christmas day and we were having lunch. We had prepared French dip sliders, along with some apple pie and Christmas drink which is basically cranberry juice. It is a ritual each year followed in our house that we cook this trio each year on the day of Christmas and I love it! It just gives some very beautiful Christmas vibes. "Merry Christmas!!!", we said as grandma, Lucy, and I clinked our glasses of cranberry juice. "I think this year the decoration has come out even more pretty, what do you think?", Lucy said, looking around the walls we had decorated with decorations which were the decorations we saw on Christmas since we were born. Nothing new in that. "These are the decoratives we put each year, what's new?", I questioned. She made a face, "I'm talking about the vibes!".Silly girl. Just one minute ago she was talking about the decorations. "Yes,

  COLLEGE DIARIES           EPISODE:84           ..."Did your mom reply back?", grandma asked on Friday as I was watching an extremely boring show on the T.V.  "She didn't.", I sighed, turning off the television. "Then how do we know where she is?", Lucy said 'in-between'.I am sure by now that you already know Lucy and her behavior. "I don't know but I am so sure that wherever she is she's all fine.", I replied. "How do you know that? Do you have a magic mirror or something that tells you about everything?".You can guess who said that...I mean it's pretty straightforward. "Well, I can just sense it, my heart says she's fine." "Ohhhh!!! So, you trust your heart 'that much'?", she said with a stupid grin spread across her face. Okay...so this conversation was losing track. "Lucy, one should always learn to trust their heart as much as they trust their selves.", I said, got

  COLLEGE DIARIES                   EPISODE:83                   ...Throughout the week, Ethan and Sophie always seemed to be in deep discussions and whenever they saw me coming, they stopped speaking. I mean initially, it was okay. But gradually, it was making me feel something...it was making me...okay, let's just say it.Envious.Envious of their 'secret talks'.I wanted to slap myself for my jealousy, trust me. And it was not like they didn't speak to me or anything. They did, of course. But the fact that I wasn't a part of the secret was killing me, that's all. Anyway, as I entered the cafeteria that day, I saw neither Ethan and Sophie.'Great. First, they hide a secret from me and now they leave me alone. What kind of friends!!!', I thought to myself as I took my usual seat. From behind me, I heard Pete call out my name, "Daisy?" "Hey!", I said. I used to be super pissed off with him but ever since he saved my life and conveyed his

  COLLEGE DIARIES               EPISODE:82                                  ...The next day, when I came from martial arts training, I found grandma on the telephone, constantly dialing a number and when she dialed the number for about the tenth time, I couldn't resist myself, I asked pretty casually, "Umm...who are you trying to reach?" "Anna." "Mom? Why?".She sighed and kept the phone back in its place. "Because I'm worried...I need to know where she is, it's been two days!" "I told Lucy the same thing the other day, grandma. You need NOT worry! I swear she's fine!" "How do you know?", she asked, taking a seat on the couch. I took my snacks and sat next to her, "Even if she's not fine...I am not the one to care...", I said. "Remember, Daisy that she's your mom after all." "Right. She's my mom. A mom who thinks I'm going out with my 'boyfriend', a mom who hits m

  COLLEGE DIARIES         EPISODE:81                ...The next day at college during college, Ethan was waiting for me as I was heading out and was on my way to the cafeteria. That day, everyone was giving me 'looks'.Like the one, they had been giving me when Ethan won the photography contest and my picture was up on the wall. "Hello!", he said, from behind me. "You?! Here? I was expecting you to be in the cafe!" "No problem.Thought we'll go together? Where's Sophie?", he asked. "She said she'll join us later...she's completing one of her pending assignments".He shook his head, "No one should compromise for assignments, trust me".I laughed and said, "So what? We can't submit overdue assignments like you!" "Daisy?" "Yes?", I said, still walking. "Can I ask you a question?".My heart sank. Because he never talked to me like that.Weird.He laughed when he saw me panic, &quo

COLLEGE DIARIES                   EPISODE:80                     ..."What on earth did you do, Daisy!", grandma said, sitting on the edge of the bed and taking the newspaper as soon as she was gone. "Just what I was supposed to do, grandma.", I answered. She remained silent for about three minutes as she read the whole article, then she looked at me, smiled broadly, and said, "You did great!!!", she said, coming to hug me. I hugged her back and said, "I told you!!!" "But, Daisy! How? just how did you do this? What exactly did happen?! I want to know everything!!!! In detail!!!", Lucy said, all excited. I laughed, "I was going to tell you both the whole story last night but mom was around which didn't allow me to! Anyway, I'll tell you now! Sit.", I said and told both of them the whole story. In between my narration, Lucy said "And then?" repeatedly which was a whole lot irritating but what else can we expect
