"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

I stand there, shell shocked and grieving. No amount of self loathing could have countered this. I turn around slowly, to see Zach, still wincing, his hand on his shoulder and I walk up to him. 


“You okay?” He rotates his arm, and his face twists painfully. 


“I have the finals tomorrow, fuck!” I wipe off the blood on his face, with my sleeve, and my conscience pricks me even worse when I remember whose t-shirt I had on. The irony is brutal. And it’s on me. Everything is, in fact. 


“Tomorrow. After the win. I’ve had my fill for today.” 


He grunts once more in pain, before taking me in an embrace, and I wrap my arms around his neck, crying silently, the strong cold wind hitting us both on the empty ground. 


“I love you.” He whispers into my hair, and I break down further.
