Chapter 12 - Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

The fresher's party starts in two hours. We were given rooms to get ready and Sravanti is doing my make-up.

'Don't blink!' She said, bringing the mascara near my eyes. I can't stop blinking. 'Okay. I'll just leave you with no mascara. I can't do this.'

'I want to keep falsies!' I said. She glared at me.

'Who do I look like? I should do my make-up too, right? You can't even keep mascara let alone putting fake lashes is a huge task. How can I do that if you keep closing your eyes?' Sravanti said, dropping that mascara on that bed. 'When will I do my make-up?' She said and sighed.

'Fine. I will do make-up on my own. You get ready.' She said.

'Don't apply too much blush on your nose; you'll look like a clown.' She said. Well, that's the only way I hide my insecurity!?

Fine, I will just apply contour on my nose so that it looks in a better shape. I got into my 4D gown which wasn't that hard to wear, surprisingly. Sravanti came out of the washroom. She wore a gown that was 1000 times better than mine. Mine looked plain, not much design while hers had frills around; it looks fluffy. She is always good at choosing dresses for herself.

'Now I gotta do make-up, where's the toner?' She looked at me. Her face slowly turned into someone who's cringed. 'Why does your nose look too brown?' She asked me.

'It looks brown? Does it look slimmer?' I asked her. She shook her head. Sravanti fixed my nose and rushed through her make-up. We finally got ready. We met Killich, Kinari and Vishal who came before us.

'Let's go.' Kinari started walking towards the main hall.

'Do you know?' Vishal whispered to me and Sravanti. 'They both are actually dating! And the way they met was a huge drama.' He said.

'Okay. So what? Let's go.' Sravanti started following Kinari and Killich.

Vishal was looking at Sravanti and stood in awe as she walked away. His face turned pink and he started walking too. Oh, so you do like Sravanti? I started following all of them. Vishal kept staring at Sravanti as she entered the main hall. I nudged him.

'You like Sravanti?' I asked him. He blinked awkwardly. He shook his head again and rolled his eyes.

'She's out of my league. Who would fall for her though, she looks just like you.' He said. HOW DARE HE INDIRECTLY SAY THAT I LOOK UGLY!? It's because of this stupid nose I have. I'll look ugly forever.

I walked fiercely to Sravanti. She is making some new friends.

'My name is Sra-'

'Chandu, Chandu.' I called her. She stopped and became cautious.

'My name is Chandu.' She corrected herself and looked at me. 'Thanks.' She whispered and looked at those new people. 'You guys are earthlings too, right?' She asked them. They nodded.

'Nice name. Will you actually come to dance with me?' He asked Sravanti. Sravanti raised her brows. 'You look too cute to be single.' He said.

'Sorry, I'm not interested…' Sravanti said and started walking away as I followed her. Wow, those people aren't even shy to ask someone out- like that avocado guy. By the way near a corner of the hall, the avocado guy was standing, this time wearing a clown dress. That's even more horrible, isn't it?

Sravanti started walking away from another guy who asked her out. I followed her again. What is this? When will the party actually start? What will happen in that party? How many more times I should go to another place because someone asks Sravanti out?

'Hello handsome girls and beautiful boys! Welcome to our fresher's party!' Someone said. Everyone clapped as a few banners opened and the hall felt like it bloomed. Fresh air started washing my face and immersive music drowned my eardrums.

'Today we're going to sort you all into three groups. The group in which you'll be would determine your identity in this school. We have three groups here in Anarica School. Red, blue and green- sorry, yellow!' The color of your robes will tell which you'll be in.' he snapped his fingers. My dress slowly transitioned into a yellow color dress as everyone else's transformed too.

Sravanti and Vishal are also yellow too. But Kinari and Killich are in red.

'Hope you all enjoyed your feast. That's the party for today. Go back to your group towers.' That person said. The lights were off and everyone started dispersing. That's it? I thought it would have something fun! But this party is one of the most boring things I've ever seen. No instructions on where the yellow tower is; no instructions on who we'll meet- NOTHING!? WE'RE LEFT LIKE THIS? Why is this world too unpredictable!?
