"Alright, what should I do with these spectacles? Shall I remove it? No. Nothing would be visible. Shall I wear it? No. I want to look beautiful. But, Shreyas had seen me in these spectacles before and he said I looked cute. Um, no. I'll buy contact lenses. I WANT TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL."
At that time, I was focused on only one thing-
"I had to look beautiful."
_________________________________________________________________________________
I went at the nearest optical shop and bought myself a pair of contact lenses. I never knew I would be so much excited to meet him. I wanted him to look at me. To look into my eyes and see how much special he was for me.
His favorite colour was red. So, I managed to take out that rare red top from my wardrobe but suddenly I remembered that it was the same top I wore when he saw me for the first time. I thought about buying a new apparel. I went to see my wallet. It was as usual empty. I just had 500 bucks. I knew that I won't be able to look that ravishing with those 500 bucks.
I was all lost with bundles of clothes spread on my bed. I wasn't able to decide what to wear. Being a simple and an ordinary girl, I was never particular about my looks but this time I was mad at myself. At last I decided to wear blue check. "Check" had always been my all time favorite.
After finalizing all the stuff : hair accessories, bracelet, clothes and footwear, I finally cleaned my room and switched off the lights. My eyes were closed but nothing was blank. On that dark background was the smile of Shreyas. I knew that tomorrow I and Shreyas would actually feel something and that something was "oddness" because It was not an official date. I never thought that my first date would be like that. Well, it wasn't actually a date. It was just an in-person meeting. Keeping those creepy thoughts apart I finally drifted off to sleep.

I woke up before my alarm rang. I was too excited about our meet that I forgot it was fresher's assembly at the college and I had to give a five minute long speech. Since I had few extra minutes left with me, I decided to write. I held a pen and a piece of paper but I stopped there.
"If I waste time writing this stupid speech, I won't be able to get ready," I said to myself. So, for the first time in my lifetime, "I", Neeyat, an A grade student closed the working stuff and started flaunting myself.
I went to the washroom and brushed my teeth. Not once. Twice. I wanted my teeth to look as white as pearl. Finally, I took shower with excess of shower gel. After coming back from the washroom I nearly emptied half the bottle of perfume on myself. I swear, I was getting insane. I left my hair open. I wanted the breeze to let my tresses flow.
Without even having my breakfast, I took the car keys and flung into it. I finally looked myself in the side mirror. I looked good but something was missing- that gorgeous lip gloss. It gave a pink tinge to my lips. I applied and smacked my lips. I was ready to go.

I went inside the college gate, greeted my teachers and rushed to the auditorium. I really didn't know why I was in hurry. Almost three hours were left for my college to get over and still I was rushing for everything.
As I entered the auditorium, I could see girls (freshers) in full enthusiasm, ready to start a new life full of sunshine. Deja vu. I still remember I was one of them three years back. As the welcoming started, I was called upon the stage. I knew that I didn't prepare a speech but I even knew that I was not a dumb- ass that would trip on the stage due to nervousness. It was not the first time that I was on the stage. I remembered few things from here and there, I recollected them and spoke. I still remember the first line I spoke!
"If you stand for a reason be prepared to stand alone like a tree,
and if you fall on the ground, fall like a seed, that grows back again."
With all that regular ceremonies, everything was over. I checked my phone and it was 11:58. "Shreyas would be there in just few seconds." My heart started pounding and my hands sweating. Suddenly. my phone vibrated. It was a call from Shreyas.
"Hello?" I picked up the phone.
"Come fast! I am there," he replied.
I haphazardly rushed to the washroom, fixed my hair and went towards the exit gate.

I could see him. That cute guy. Grown to perfection. Perfect height and perfect bones in perfect skin. I really didn't know how could he be so much perfect? I could see his back, his face the other side. I silently went towards him and patted him from behind.
"Neeyat!" he said and turned.
"Hey"
"Hey! How are you? You look so Beautiful."
"Thank you!" I smiled.
We stood there for five minutes with smiles on our faces. Suddenly out of blue. Shreyas held my hand and took me towards his car.
"Sit," he said and opened the door of his car.
I sat and he closed the door.
"Quite cute!" he said.
"What?"
"You, stupid!" he said and pulled my cheeks.
"Oh really? Thanks a lot!"
"You don't want to say anything about me?"
"Well Shreyas, you are just too perfect. What can I compliment a person who is made so perfect."
"I am impressed," he winked.
We both laughed. After few seconds of silence, Shreyas asked me to close my eyes. Initially, I was reluctant to do so but then I closed my eyes. I could sense him coming close. His heavy breath felt warm over my face. He held my face in my hands.
"This one for my cutest Barbie doll."
He said and planted a peck on my right cheek. I immediately opened my eyes and smiled at that cute thing he did to me.
I sat there in his car for long two hours. We talked about various things from here and there. At that time, I wanted the time to stop. I wanted to be there with him forever. That was the most precious time we spent together. That wasn't an official date but it was special for me. No matter how much I tried, I could never forget that day...
I was fully drenched into the love of Shreyas.
At that time, I was focused on only one thing-
"I had to look beautiful."
