entering the portals

The first day I entered presi ,I thought my dad was kidding.There were around 2000 hopefuls glaring for space!I was sure I was in the wrong place .The walls intimidated me,the seniors helping around intimidated me ,the crazy voices intimidated me,everything looked like a gigantic cauldron where my tiny little existence didn't seem to matter.Admission was the last thing on kind mind,I was busy checking out guys in the unending rows, not a single one looked tempting enough.After spending a couple of pointless hours near the main building we were finally asked to go to the Derozio building.We must have been merry-go-rounding around the main building for god knows how long till we ultimately thought of crossing the roads to the distant structures visible through the green mesh of fencing around the huge football cage.The only triumph was when some hopeful's father asked me how much I had got in maths(probably considering his child's record unbreakable).My answer put him off.
I returned to its precincts with an even greater belief that I wouldn't pass the test.The class was huge, the distance between the fixed sitting and writing desks back breaking and the people around me frightening.The test began with an eerie silence pervading the place. An hour later I saw one of my acquaintances shoot out of the room-was it that easy, I wondered.As if the test was not bad enough the fellow beside me started discussing the answers as soon as our papers were snatched off and making it his exclusive right to remind me of my mistakes.I hated the confidence he oozed,thank god he didn't make it.But on second thoughts, wouldn't have minded,he was cute.
Not much happened after this ,I pulled up all my remaining strength and broken spirit and rushed out to escape ,firmly believing that I would never be called back
