Ep 1: First day...
Seven in the morning. I carried my oversized suitcase out of the taxi. University life. It was finally happening. A nervous feeling of excitement began inside me.
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Takes a deep breath and straightens her denim jacket* Fashion Design, here I come.
Phone buzzed. “Reached?” Mom texted.
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Types back* “Yep, just about to enter the dorms. Wish me luck!”
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Dragging her heavy suitcase, following the signs to the Magnolia Dormitory.** It is… beautiful. Calming.
Dormitory reception was crowded with students, parents, and piles of luggage.
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Makes it through the crowd to the desk* May I know which dorm to report to?
Vihika Shukla (FL)
Vihika… Vihika Shukla.
Receptionist
Magnolia Dorm, Second Floor, Room 204.
Vihika Shukla (FL)
Room 204… 204.. 204… here it is! *took another deep breath, and pushed the door open.*
Suitcases lay open in the room, clothes overflowed from bags.
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*I saw three girls look up as I entered.*
Sanya Gupta
Hey! *Smiling brightly, looking with curious eyes, and a mischievous smile.*
Sanya Gupta
*extended a hand* You must be the fourth roommate! I’m Sanya! Interior Design major. And unapologetically chaotic.
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Smiled* Vihika Shukla. Fashion Design. And hopefully, a little less chaotic. *shook her hand*
Mehra Zahid
“Don’t be fooled *said softly with eyes as gentle as a doe*
Mehra Zahid
*smiled shyly while arranging art supplies on her desk* I’m Mehra. Fine Arts major. And chaos finds us all eventually.
Sanya Gupta
Mehra is the gentle soul of the dorm. *throwing an arm around Mehra’s shoulders, who blushed softly*
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Smiles* Nice to meet you.
Diya Trivedi
*Tucked away in a corner, surrounded by a pile of books*
Diya Trivedi
*Glanced up from her page* I’m Diya, a Literature major. *looks back at her book*
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Smiles at her*
Sanya Gupta
Literature? That’s cool. Maybe she can write stories about us!
Mehra Zahid
*laughed softly*
Vihika Shukla (FL)
*Begins to unpack* University, here we come!
