Necessities... you gain some & lose some

Bis wiedersehen... Until we meet again

“I close my eyes, and it’s just you that I see… it’s a choice between you or the darkness that’ll set upon.” Jay was a poet in himself, albeit, only with a few drinks guzzled down.

How come none of the interesting stories start without alcohol? Humans… inhibitions thwart us.

Nevertheless, Jay wasn't any different.

Who could blame him. Alaska was an intriguing character. Not one that words would easily define.

The sun finally set on this day too. To them, it was another night, but to me this was an end of a story which I wished was incessant. I was a good student, and teachers liked me, but never once did I miss school. College too was fun. The fights, the friends, and stories of it all… Yet I was glad it ended when it did.

Something felt missing after she said "well then... See you soon I hope" and like that she was gone. German never seemed so interesting. Alaska... Yes... Quite like a hurricane who came and who left, leaving me with just the traces of life she had shattered all over. Smashing all the beliefs I had summoned till this moment... The wall that wasn't just unbreakable but impenetrable, she touched it with her fingertip and pushed it down. For everything you could find wrong about her, existed an equally viable reason that would make you feel the wind she was, the tool she was, and then you'd be too, where I stood. On a two way street pointing if she was the perfect person, or she wasn't, the "wasn't" street lead back to reasons why she indeed was... Murmuring with nothing in her mouth, and screaming while crunching on food, she could make me smile... Wasn't that enough? She was, for me... Enough... Looking like an angel descendant with her hair tied back, and even prettier, if possible, with them left open. She wasn't fair, or brown, or dark... But then humans aren't supposed to be made of gold... The poet in me came out a little more often nowadays, as I lost myself again in her deep brown eyes.

P.S: an excerpt out of Jay's diary

It wasn’t hard to see the guy smitten, shining pink with every exchanged look with Alaska.

But there were others as well… Prakash aka Moses for example. With his 'oxymoronic' smart antics, he was a being with a hard life. The lazy perfectionist who wanted it right, but hated to fix it.
Rhea tried again and failed again to sit as far as possible from Moses and I especially. The pretty girl was the butt of the joke. A real sport too!
Well, she had a reason to hate some of us... "I want it!" She said, and with a wink I innocently added "That's what she said.". She was an innocent adorable butt of the joke! and if I said butt this many times, one could notice a smirk on a few faces, especially Prakash, Jay, and Alaska. Me? I stayed away from the grimy and filthy humor you see,

Right next to him sat Rahul aka Duke. The slurred voice, and a knack of immediate decisions had landed him in soup more often that he would accept.

But it was time now. The friends I had grown close to in mere 8 weeks were to be told goodbye. The time spent together was immensely short, but I hoped the friendships built won’t be the same.
