Life is a Ride – RIDE 10:
I had a restless sleep. I had no clue, why I got affected by Vikram this badly.
The second semester moved on with lots of emotions...I cried….laughed….felt great….felt poor….had butterfly dreams….hardly slept some nights…..etc..etc…and it was Vikram who played a crucial role in most of my emotions….
Our civil class moved like a snail. Owing to our nearing semester exams, our lecturer left the class and instructed us to prepare for the exams without much noise…
Oh! What a great relief!! All four of us indulged in to latest gossips of the college. Suddenly one of the girl in the second row screamed ….oouchhhh…….The whole class looked at her…..but nobody could understand what had happened?…including the girl!
Within some seconds, another girl in the first row Jumped from her chair…the girls were terrified…without knowing what was happening…But the boys laughed as if they were mad….Priya told us to observe Ganesh and his gang.
Those stupid’s, had a pile of gooseberry seeds on their desks. Ganesh kept one gooseberry seed on the edge of a scale and he aimed at the girls!
Shocked! we alerted the nearest girls and wrote a note on a paper and passed it among the girls at the other end! But many of our class girls loved Ganesh and his gang and hated us to the core!
Some girls never likes to get in to problem and some girls doesn’t react to anything in the world! So the girls sat quietly despite of the assault from those guys and even some girls giggled and enjoyed this.
But till now no seed had hit any of us…..we waited patiently for something to trigger us. Many seeds flew here and there and we patiently gathered all the seeds that had reached our desks.
Unfortunately…one seed gave a straight hit on Anu’s head…..Wow!!! This is all we waited for. Before anybody could envisage , all four of us gave a clear shot at Ganesh and his friends…..Around 6 to 10 seeds thrashed directly at Ganesh’s face and 3 other notebooks thrashed the head and shoulders of his friends..
Anu! Gave a warning look at Ganesh who looked humiliated and yelled at him….Be careful Ganesh! Don’t force me to move to the management!
We all were amazed at Anu’s boldness.
At the same time, many girls in our class gave a hatred glare at us. As usual, we ignored that and felt proud of us.
During lunch, the hot topic was all about how we insulted Ganesh and how Anu reacted.
Slowly we realized that most of our class started to get empty. There were only few more girls left. Again …Maya…..one of the admirers of Ganesh, came inside and whispered something in the ears of the remaining girls.
Within some minutes the whole class was empty except the four of us.
Before we could realize what had happened….the boys closed all the 2 doors and windows. We were startled. Priya ran near the door and shouted to open the door. We moved across every window and door and screamed …but nobody responded.
In a complete rage, I took the lecturers chair and gave a heavy bang at the door. Immediately Anu, Thivya and Priya took the students chairs and gave a bang at the other door. With a heavy bang, the first door opened wide with a huge thud.
I went straight to Maya and gave a tight slap at her and screamed at her at the top of my voice.
She stood helplessly, without knowing what to do.
Priya went straight to Ganesh, and yelled at him at the top of her voice…..hey if you want to deal with us…deal directly…don’t use these stupid girls and behave like a shameless coward.
At the peak of the argument….our Principal and few other staffs rushed to our class and roared at the top of his voice…What is happening here??
All four of us stood at one end of the Principal room and Ganesh, Maya and his friends stood at the other end, The enquiry went on for 2 hours. Our principal enquired with few more students from our class .
Finally we all wrote an apology letter and Ganesh and his friends were suspended for one week. After this incident the girls in our class were split in to three groups….one group headed by Maya…another headed by us and another gang…the calm and sweet…reactive to nothing on the universe.
The second semester came to a closure making all four of us the most popular girls of the college. We were the victims for most of the gossip mongers. But hardly had we taken those things to our heart. We enjoyed all that we heard, we topped the academics, we stood together in our happiness, glitches…etc.
Ganesh waited for a good chance to dig at us. Our second semester came to a closure with lot more wonderful incidents than the first semester.
Now we stood as seniors for our fresher’s. This time, the management organized the fresher’s party within 2 weeks from their date of joining. We roamed here and there and enjoyed that day thoroughly.
The next day, our HOD made the 2nd Year, 3rd Year and Final Year to gather at the auditorium. Shiva was busy running here and there. Now and then, I turned back to talk to the girls and gave a glance at Vikram.
Our HOD entered the hall with a big smile.
Ok Students, It’s the time to enjoy! We have decided to take you all for excursion……The whole auditorium echoed.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh…..
The First years will not have any excursion as usual.
The final years will be taking a separate All India Tour.
This Year we have discussed with the department representatives Shiva and Rajesh and we have decided to club the 2nd Year and 3rd Year together for the excursion.
The students bounced up and down with excitement. There are three different options …Goa or Munaar-Cochin or Ooty- Bangalore. This will be decided based on the entries. It’s a 3 day trip.
We will come back on this next Monday. We were all excited like anything. We started to discuss, which place to put our entries on. We decided and gave our entries to Shiva for Ooty and Bangalore.
We moved away, Shiva scratched his name from the Goa list and gave an entry into Ooty Bangalore list.
RIDE TO BE CONTINUED………………
