The day of freshers party

Siya's POV

It's our freshers party today. Raghav and I are pretty much excited for the party whereas Swati on the other hand doesn't seem interested at all. She's an introvert and thus, parties and all are nothing less than a disaster for her.

We got ready and made our way towards the venue. I was wearing a simple black dress with golden earrings and black stilettos. The dress was comfortable and it made me look pretty. Swati was looking beautiful as always and our boy Raghav too, was looking handsome for a change.

We reached the venue which was beautifully decorated with yellow and black balloons. It had a selfie booth which was too crowded. I can never understand people's obsession with clicking pictures.

We met a few of our classmates and talked for a while. Someone tapped on my shoulder and I turned around. It was Aarav.
"Hey! You look great today." He complimented me and I side hugged him.
"Thanks Aarav. You look good too." I said and gave him a bright smile.

"Raghav you look good too except you." He pointed towards Swati and she gave him an annoyed look.
"You look just like the trash can I saw outside the hall. No, actually that trash can was better." Swati said sarcastically to which Aarav just rolled his eyes whereas Raghav and I burst out laughing.

We were busy talking to each other but someone caught my attention. That guy was almost 6ft tall and he was wearing a black suit with a black shirt. I must admit, he looked really hot. He caught me staring at him and he winked at me. He WINKED at me?? Shit. This is embarrassing. I turned around immediately to avoid eye contact but after a minute, I turned around only to find him looking at me with a smirk on his face. I turned my back towards him.

Soon, the dance floor was open and people started dancing as if this way the last day of their life. Raghav and Aarav joined the dance floor while Swati and I were standing near the drinks counter. Siddhant was standing just beside us. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and I must say, he looked handsome. His girlfriend is very lucky.

Raghav came towards us and he dragged me and Swati on the dance floor. As we were dancing, someone tapped on my shoulder. I looked at that person and he was the same guy I saw a while ago.

"Hey, I'm Kabir Rajput. Aeronautical engineering batch. You?" He asked with a smile.
"I'm Siya Dutta. Same batch. Which division are you from?" I asked him returning a bright smile.
"Division A. What about you?"
"Same division. But I never saw you in class." I said raising my eyebrow expecting an answer.
"I just landed in Chennai. I'll attend lectures from Monday." He replied and I just nodded.

"Siya, you look pretty in this dress." He complimented me which made me blush a little which was quite evident on my face.
"And this pink blush is making you look prettier." Kabir said which made me smile.

"Thanks Kabir. You look great too." I replied to him and we continued dancing for a while. He told me how great of a dancer I am and flirted with me occasionally.

I was thirsty so I excused myself and went towards the drinks counter. I took a glass of water and drank it. I kept the glass aside and turned around to go back to the dance floor but someone called out my name. I turned around and it was Siddhant.

"Hey Siya, I wanted to talk to you about......." He was interrupted by Kabir. Kabir came towards me, held my hand and dragged me towards the dance floor.

I mumbled a sorry to Siddhant and he just nodded. There was a bit of sadness in his eyes. But why is he sad?

My thoughts were broken when Kabir kept his hands on my waist and we continued dancing. I was lost in his eyes. He was the first guy who ever complimented me. I don't know why but I felt something. Maybe I am crushing on him..........
