"And I wish I could have loved him less. Or better yet, not at all."

19 year old Adalanna Callister, bold, beautiful and brainy, is all set for her term in St. Stephen's University of Liverpool. 
And the first day in her new college itself, seals her fate for a rollercoaster year ahead. 

Through galas, bonfires and games, Alanna is pulled in deeper and deeper to the only feeling she had been wanting to avoid, the half of which she fears and the rest, fails to understand. 

Ripped apart between two friends, one a raging fire, other a deep ocean, Alanna grapples with her affections, all the while redeeming her own self from a tainted past. 

One, the kind you keep. Stability. Who would never break her heart. 

And the other, the kind you love. Danger. Without whom, there'd be no heart to break in the first place. 

Amidst love, friendship, music and betrayal, she has to make a choice, between the solace of a right love and the passion of a great love.  

This year, ask yourself- 
Love, the quicksand of raging passions- 
eternal bliss or inevitable doom? 

At the very least, she's in for an eventful year. 

"But you'll hate me." "I love you."
Everything made sense.

Choices

This, is an insane gesture. I laugh out lightly and my eyes well up with sudden unwanted moisture that I hold back. 


Zach Hayden is indeed an A class bastard, but he could be a real sweetheart when he wanted to. And right now, he is one. He feels just like the Zach I had known him as, in our last years together. I look up to his eyes, who have been watching me intently. 


Heart failure. Lungs knocked out of air. Total body dysfunction. Existential damage. 


How do you resist that? Zach Hayden saying please? To fudging date you! He doesn’t date. He has never. 


I try to form an appropriate reply, but when I can’t, he speaks again. 


“I want you to date me, I want to date you.” 


“Zach are you sober yet?” He sighs lightly. 


“Alanna, I know I’ve done some ridiculously horrible things, and you had deserved nothing of that. But please, please can you put the past behind? Start over.” I gulp back my tears.
