chapter 25

It's the first day of the new semester at HB College of Commerce and Management. Everyone here seems so excited about the beginning of their new journey... Until they arrive..."College is such a beautiful place..." A guy dressed in all fashionable clothes said glancing over the passerby girls (who are probably his seniors)..."Yeah... Only if I know that earlier... I'd skip two standards just to come here..."  Another guy who was dressed up like some kind of movie star and probably had the same mental status as the first guy replied with a smirk.And their whole group (a group of five people) laughed together...A girl with big glasses was on her way to her classroom when she saw them...They are the centre of attention of everyone. They are too noisy... And are standing in the middle of the porch blocking other people's way... but still no one is telling them to step aside from there... That girl with big glasses didn't want to get involved so she chose to avoid them and turned around to take the stairs from another side. She is about to go the other way but someone's talk caught her attention..."Ah... So annoying, they are blocking everyone's way" a guy said in a tone filled with anger..."Don't say anything about them..." his friend warned him."Why so... Is this college belongs to them...?" Rahul laughed "Exactly..." his friend repliedRahul got confused, so his friend Manav clarified..."See... that guy in the middle... His family is the owner of this college..." Manav said pointing out at a guy in that group."They are "AJs"... New admissions of this year... All of them are spoiled brats... " Manav continued giving their introduction to Rahul."AJs...?" Rahul asked looking at them."Yeah, that is what everyone calls them...""Let's take the stairs from that side" Manav replied and they left for their way.She was listening to their (Rahul and Manav's) conversation... She just took her eyes down and continued walking."Since when did our college's status go this much down... ?" A girl member of AJs said glancing over that girl with big glasses.She didn't see her face, only saw her from behind."What... ?" A guy asked"Nothing..." she replied as she lost her in-crowd.AJs are waiting for their friend, who is late on the very first day of college. They are a group of a total of seven members and each one has a unique quality...Samar: A branded idiot, a total pervert, and the most selfish guy in the group.Aarav: Richest kid in the group, most arrogant, and a family member of a college owner.Vihaan: Aarav's best friend, arrogant, and a topper guy in the group.Anaya: Aarav's girlfriend, has a terrible personality, the current year's beauty pageant winner... Beauty queen of the group.Garv: has the biggest ego, is selfish, great football player... The player one of the group.Elisha: the heiress of the biggest beauty brand, materialistic, first runner-up of the current year's beauty pageant, the jealous one (it's a secret though).and the last one ... Lily.Lily was a great person, she is totally opposite of all of them... She has a good personality, she is a caring, humble and lively girl. She wasn't really a member of their group, after all, she is the daughter of a secretary. She is partially included just because Aarav favoured her and was good friends with her, so they didn't outcast her... And she left for her hometown too, so basically it's just six of them... Aarav, Samar, Anaya, Vihaan, Garv and Elisha.All of them (The AJs) are total freaks. They all have a similar quality each one of them is selfish and arrogant. They treat people like trash... And this is why people give them a name... 'Arrogant Jerks - The AJs .'"Who are you guys waiting for?" A really handsome guy who is wearing brands from top to bottom came towards AJs. It's Vihaan."Finally you are here... " Aarav said"School topper is late on his first day..." Anaya added."Come on... It's our college... Classes aren't gonna start without us..." Vihaan replied."We are attending classes... ???" Samar asked"What about going to the movies to celebrate our first day..." Samar proposed"I am out... " Vihaan replied."Yeah... Since we are here let's attend classes first... "Aarav said"We can celebrate in the evening..." Garv added with a smirk.So they all went to the first year's classroom...*At first year's classroom*Professor was almost done with his speech for new students when AJs came, just in time... They barged in without asking his (professor's) permission... But he neither said anything to them nor punished them. Professor knows who they are and he didn't want to lose his job.The only seats left are in the last row... So they go straight there and are seated down.After a few minutes... Professor's speech ended and he left."I can't believe..." Anaya said making a face."What...?" Elisha asked"See that girl... We have to share the same class with her... How annoying" she replied with a disguised look on her face."Don't mind her... Looking at her is also an insult to ourselves" Elisha replied and they both laughed together.For the whole day, they (AJs) became everyone's topic of interest...Everyone wants to become friends with them... But they weren't paying attention to anyone... And just like that, a long first day of college has ended...And a girl with glasses came back to her home, she is going to her room when her aunt called her..."Manasvini... !!!" Her aunt shouted at her and she stopped... She is still looking at the floor."How dare you... I clearly told you that you aren't going to college...We are already paying for your expenses... Is this not enough for you...""I am not going to pay for your college... " Her aunt is taking out her anger on Manasvini.Tears started falling out from her eyes one by one... But she is still standing there staring at the floor...  But when it all became too much to take for her... She ran out of the house... She is sitting on a bench near their house, thinking about herself... "I am so unlucky"... She mumbled...Manasvini is a simple girl, the best student in her school, she got admission to HB College with a 100% scholarship.But she has a flaw... She is so uncomfortable talking to other people, she has no confidence in herself, she didn't trust people... She has social anxiety... all because of her aunt...Manasvini lost her parents at a very young age, after that her grandparents took her responsibility and became her guardian, but that was not for too long...Her grandfather was also not in good health condition, he passed away because of liver failure, and soon after that, her grandmother passed away too. She is only 10 at that time. Manasvini was the only child her parents have. So after their death, whatever they have all their properties, were transferred under her name, and her grandparents also transferred everything to her, (their son's only child)... The only relative she has left was her aunt, and her aunt also took her custody happily... This is what she thought... until she turned 16. Her grandparent's and her parent's properties that she inherited were transferred under her name, with the only condition that 'she can claim all that property after she turned 16', that is the only condition in her grandparent's will. But when her 16th birthday came Her life became a nightmare and started haunting her. Because......her aunt knows about that, and this is the reason she took her in. She wasn't a good person she is too greedy. On the day Manasvini turned 16, her aunt made her transfer all the properties and all the inheritance under her name... And after that, Manasvini has no value in her aunt's eyes... Her aunt no longer wants to see Manasvini in their house..."Did she yell at you again... ?" A middle-aged man asked Manasvini. It's her uncle, she is still staying in that house only because of her uncle. He is a nice person. He favoured her, and save her from her aunt... most of the time. He treats Manasvini like his own daughter.Manasvini looked up and nodded. "Don't take her words to your heart... You know how your aunt is..." her uncle tried to comfort her."Let's go home together... It started getting dark" her uncle said with a little smile."Hm.." she replied...And they left for home...
