"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

The talking goes on and Brit decides to ditch this time. She thinks she should take more time before she goes out with someone again. 


I decide to go find Zach once before leaving. I exit the cafeteria and spot Nate reshuffling some papers. I remember his earlier remark and a sudden anger builds inside of me as I stride up to him and push him against the wall. 


He, caught off guard, lands on the wall with a thud his arms stretched wide and I hold down his biceps forcefully. 


“You didn’t think I’d miss the taunt, did you?” I stare down his shocked blue ones with my own ardent ones. 


“Considering your 4.0 of a GPA, I was sure you’d catch it.” 


“So I take it, it was intentional, right?” 


“I don’t get what you’re so mad about. It’s not like we had sex or anything.” He turns us around holding my arms firmly, pushing me against the wall now.
