DJ
"Hello students. Here is your first activity. On the projector screen, I will play Just Dance videos containing both couple and normal pair dance routines. You and your partner will decide which role to take and follow the dancers. Anyone not participating, misbehaving or lacking enough effort will be asked to perform an entire dance alone with their buddy in front of the entire collage, and will be delay everyone's transition to the next task."

The songs began.

Navin
"You ready?" 😳

Zara nodded her head, and they started dancing to the tune and steps shown on the projector screen. Many people, including their pair of friends, awed at their hidden talent. Though their faces showed clean awkwardness and embarrassment, their moves were elegant and flawless.

As for Ansh and Mayura, let's just say... they were having a very hard time getting along, and dancing together at that. Due to the consequences the DJ addressed earlier, of sloppy effort, they did try, but failed multiple times, miserably, and in various ways.

Mayura
"Put your foot here... n...not there, dummy! ...Ouch! You stepped on my toe!"

Ansh
"Stupid woman! Look at your crooked posture, it's sickening, granny."

Mayura
"Urghh, don't cross your limit!"

Ansh
"You don't get to decide the 'limit' here!"

By the way, did I mention that both of them were also blushing the entire time? It's understandable for Zara and Navin, but what do we have here? Enemies to...

Mayura (internally)
"No! Why do I feel so warm in the face. A...am I...? No way! I can't blush. This whole dance is crappy and our moves are out of synch! Then... why does his cold grip feel so soothing and tender on my palm? Why do I feel like I could do this forever even though I dispose the activity entirely... or so I did. Why is Ansh looking at me with such intent eyes. I can only see a small glimpse but... they feel hypnotic, I wanna keep staring. Nonononono....!"😳

Ansh (internally)
"Oh god, my face is burning! And... why are my palms seating from the touch of her skin?! Now that I think about it, she is kinda...cute...WHAT!? No, this is nonsense, it's... my overloaded brain's fault. It can't even think straight. Yup, that's why my hormones are fluctuating, and I'm getting all nerve-wrecked by looking at this witch. Maybe I'm sick... hehe. Wait...she's blushing, damn that's cute! Hold on, no wayyyyy!" 😳

The activity soon ended, and the two were still furiously blushing, each at least a little disappointed at its ending. Both pairs separated, making their way to more 'fun' activities. Each of the four friends found themselves blushing and overthinking every time their partner touches or even looks at them. This way, dinner time came relatively fast. At the venue, there was a long, gorgeous buffet set up, as our characters approached for a magnificent feast, and sought out one another.

Ansh
"Woah. That's some feast. Hey Navin, let's go check that out!"

Ansh pulled Navin to one side, away from Zara and Mayura.
