A Step To You

"Morning broooo!" I greeted Gulks with arms outstretched but she just raised her right hand in a sort of lazy wave and continued reading.

"Bro, guess what," I sat beside her and took my own book. "I saw Prez. by the gate and he asked me how the Fluidx is doing. I swear I hadn't ran that fast all my life," I laughed but she remained serious. "Anyway, are you going home early today? Wanna stop by the fluidx room?"

"No, thanks," she said and turned to the next page.

"Come on. I will show you this routine and see if it's a winner." I started to Move My hands like dancing.

"I have a practice," she said.

"Yes, just see our practice- YOU WHAT?!" I stood up, my book fell down the floor. "You have what?"

Gulki took her pen and started writing, "A practice."

"P-Practice? What practice?"

"I don't know, I haven't been in a meeting yet," she said still not looking at me.

"Bro! Don't tell me you accepted Idle's, I mean, Misri Pandey's invite? Bro! I would really get angry if you joined other clubs, I have been inviting you for years!"

"Fine, then get angry."

I sat down again and tugged at her arm. "So you joined Idle?! You really joined that club?! Why!!!"

"Will you keep quiet? We have a quiz on the first period, remember?" She moved a few inches away from me. "And I didn't join Idle."

"Really? I thought so." I picked up my book.

"It's the Dance club."

I dropped the book again. I turned to her, "Come again? Which club?"

"You heard me." Gulki took her phone and checked a message.

I looked at it and my eyes almost bulged from My skull.

[Hello! All Dance club members will have a Meeting at 3pm, on the 3rd floor Dance room. We will be welcoming our new Members, which includes you too! See you!

I coughed. "So-you really joined a club?!?!" I slumped onto my chair and put my right palm on my forehead. "I can't believe it. The last time I remember talking to you about a club, you said you are not interested... And now! You joined one? And the Dance club at that! Woah!"

I stared at Gulks, then it dawned on me. I grabbed her phone.

"Give that back," she said.

"Wait!" I reread the text message. "Yukti Kapoor? Why did i forget... You!" I gave her phone back and patted her on the back. "Hahaha! I knew it bro! You and that Yukti Kapoor --" I slapped my hand on the table.

"It's not what you think, okay?"

"Achhca betaa ! Really? Really?" I tickled her on the side. But I stopped because she frowned at me. "Fine. I'll stop. But bro, I still can't believe you would like her back.. Kapoor I mean. How did she talk to you?"

Gulki ignored me.

"HMM... Did she talk to you at school or outside? Because I haven't seen you--"

"Just review okay?" She snapped and turned her back on me.

I laughed and opened my book again. Anyway, whatever club it is, I'm glad she has joined.

Chavy and I arranged the chairs in C-shape and kept some place in the Middle. Before the meeting we'll have an introduction and a little practice, then maybe, we get to perform some easy usual steps as a startup.
