MIDNIGHT RIDER PART1

A canary yellow bus rolled to a stop in the premise of Blue Bell hotel in the picturesque town of Jalna and out erupted enthusiastic cheers and applause.

Roha Sharma was stirred from her slumber by her friends.

"Oi!Wake up!"

"C'mon Ro we've reached!"

Rubbing sleep from her eyes she looked up to see her friends clustered around her.

"Beware,alert Kumbhkaran's great,great,great.....granddaughter, Your Highness Roha sharma has finally decided to grace our humble party with her esteemed wide-awake presence."said Fred fernandez,her robustly built,stout classmate with a dramatic bow.

"Bit rich coming from you,isn't it?The guy who considers every minute which he doesn't spends crashing around on the quest of his beauty sleep as a sheer waste of precious time." Roha mocked curtly.

"Oh well...I don't wear my eyes on grubby books,because I don't fancy strutting around the entire place with big dark circles ,looking like that freaking vampire Edward Cullen of Twilight.Unlike some great personalities round here,of course!"

Roha opened her mouth furiously-it was a common knowledge that she had long developed a soft spot for Edward Cullen-so promptly she was cut short by Snigdha who could see the oncoming storm.

"Guys chillax! Enough demonstration of World War 3 for today.Save something for tommorrow."

"Yeah...let's get down before that Hitler comes here.Honestly I won't put it past her to not to drop us lines even though we've come to have fun here."sighed Vivian in plight.And as if she heard him,the very next second Mrs.D'souza stuck her head inside.

"Children are you planning to spend the entire trip on this bus eh?OUT NOW!"

"Well there the siren blares."muttered Vivian as everyone hurriedly filed out of the bus.Mrs.D'souza was well known for her nasty temper.She was a strict disciplinarian and loathed what she called 'tomfoolery'.Students lived in mortal dread of hers and no one, not even her collegues dared to cross her.

                                                                                                                 As they alighted from the bus,they were struck by the naked beauty of the place.Green blanket hid the brown of Earth for miles,which were interspersed by multihued blossoms
