COLLEGE DIARIES                   EPISODE:79                 ...Ethan left me home that day in his car. I entered my house all tired up but mom was still so excited, she came ahead and said, "Daisy!!! Do you like him?!", she questioned. Good joke. I looked lost when she asked me that question because clearly, what should I have answered? Then, she started laughing like a crazy person.  "Come on! You need not blush, okay?", she said, keeping her arm on my shoulder. Can someone just tell me when did I blush? "Saw mom, Lucy? I told you Daisy is going to love Liam! And mom? You were simply worried!", she said with a laugh. Grandma looked at me like, 'What did I just hear?' to which I just smiled and winked. Liam was not going to tell my mom about what I had done to him, nor was Audrey...but I totally just forgot about the newspaper! The next morning was a pathetic and horrible one! She came into my roo...

  COLLEGE DAIRIES         EPISODE:78               ..."Are you Liam?", I asked when I approached his table. "I am. Nice to see you, Daisy.", he said, gesturing me to take the seat. "It's really good to see you up this close", he said, smiling. Creeps ran through me.'What kind of a sentence was that?', I thought, however, I managed to smile a fake smile in front of him. "So, what should we order?", he asked, giving me the menu.'Umm...I am not here for a date with you, okay...? I am here to just tell you-', I began thinking. "You seem too lost in your own world today. What's the matter?", he questioned. I shook my head, "Nothing...just thinking something..." "Look, what I got for you..", he said, taking out a bouquet,"...some pretty Daisies for the prettiest Daisy!", he said, giving them to me...wait! Pretty Daises for the prettiest Daisy!? shivers ran down my spine again...I've h...

  COLLEGE DIARIES           EPISODE:77            ... Mom started behaving extra crazy on Friday. In the evening, she came all excited. "Look, Daisy! I got this beautiful top for you to wear tomorrow!", she said, showing me a lemon yellow colored plain turtle neck top...' beautiful? Eww, what a choice!', I thought to myself. "Do you like it?", she asked, when she saw me staring at the top. "Yes...beautiful.", I lied. "Okay, take this and do wear this tomorrow.", she said, giving it to me. It looked okay and I also remembered the fact that she hadn't given it to me out of love or as a gift, she had given it to me because I was going to meet a boy she wanted me to marry. That evening, Ethan texted me, "Are you sure you want me to come tomorrow???" "Of course.", I replied. "Why so?", he texted to which I replied, "Friends support friends, don't they?", along with a smiley emoji.               ...

COLLEGE DIARIES                     EPISODE:76               ...The next day, I woke up for college and went downstairs to fix breakfast. Who knew mom would be up already that early in the morning. "Daisy?", she said. "Yes?" "Where do you store almond milk?" "We don't use almond milk!", I said. "Why not?", she asked again. I decided to keep that question unanswered because come on! who answers stupid questions. I began putting some cereal in the 'normal' milk that we had and then started preparing tea. "Do you people have rosemary herbs for the tea...or just some different kind of tea powder?", she asked again. "Sorry...no." "Then what do you have?!! How do you people survive? No problem, don't worry, Daisy. Once you leave this house-" "I am not leaving this house!", I said. Grandma woke up by dint of my loud voice, Lucy did too but it wasn't my fault, right? She was just makin...

 COLLEGE DIARIES                      EPISODE:75                        ...During the lunch break, Ethan asked, "What's wrong, Daisy?".I smiled, "What's wrong? Everything's right..." "Then what happened over here.", he said, touching the scar and I swear I jumped ten feet high...okay, that's a bit of exaggeration(or is it a lot?) but trust me I never saw that coming. I was looking down at my food when he touched the scar. "Sorry!...", he said, when he saw me panic. "So, what happened?", he asked again. I knew he will continue asking me the same question till I gave him an answer he believed so I said, " I got hurt during martial arts practice." "You are telling me that a black belt will get 'hurt'? That's a lie! So, Miss.Daisy, what's your next lie?".I laughed, "So what? Anyone can get hurt, right?", I asked looking at Sophie. She sipped her lemonade and said, "Why do...

  COLLEGE DIARIES           EPISODE:74         ...The unnecessary drama didn't stop in the morning, it started again in the evening when I was sitting in my room and trying to complete one of my pending assignments. Grandma had told me to not 'back answer' her but what does one do when even answering is titled as 'back answering'?! It was around seven pm when mom came into my room, stood in front of the mirror, and started braiding her very much dyed hair. I had preserved the box in which Ethan had gifted me the necklace as it was a lovely rose-gold box with little pastel-colored floral patterns all over it. It also had a name tag over it which read, 'from Ethan, Happy Birthday!'.I always kept that box along with the necklace in it on my dressing table, in front of the mirror. Unfortunately, she saw the box with 'Ethan's' name and she picked it up. Though I pretended to be busy completing my assignment, out of the corner of my eye, ...

    COLLEGE DIARIES           EPISODE:73              ..."Come here, sit! ", she said before cracking the 'news' to me. A million thoughts were running in my mind. I glanced at grandma and Lucy and then finally looked at mom who was searching for something on her mobile. Then she did something which enraged me. She opened her mobile to a picture of a boy, who looked...weird...he had a very thin face with dark curly hair. "What?", I asked. "You didn't guess already?", she asked with a smile.No mom. I guessed it. But I just don't want to believe it, okay? "He's handsome, isn't he?", she asked. I looked at her and shook my head, "I am sorry, he isn't", I answered. She cleared her throat and took her mobile from my hands. I glanced at grandma who already looked worried and anxious. "Well. He's my friend, Audrey's son...he is polite, calm, and rich...I mean Audrey's rich and so is his son...and Au...
