Attraction To Affection

Chapter 17: Feelings

NYSA

I took a sigh of relief after everything got settled between me and Aryan. It has been bugging me since last night because of what I said. Any said it right, I need to control my emotions and how I say things to people.

God, why me?

Anyway, I am going to have my first dance performance in this year's college fest and I am feeling so many things right now. I always wanted a good stage to perform and finally, I got it. I got in one of the dance societies here and instantly became this year's secretary, it has elections too apparently.

We are a group of 20 students but we all are going to perform different songs in different groups. My group is of 5 people and we are going to perform three different culture songs. You'll see it once it happens.

I am on my way for the practice. I met all my new dance friends that I've made in last two months of being the secretary. They all are so amazing and so good at whatever dance style they do.

I am more on the hip hop side while some of them are more on classical side so accordingly, we have divided the groups.

"Aa gayi tu, chal jaldi, practice karte hai phir chali jaana apne lover ke pass" Ayesha said to me teasingly. (You came? Lets go quickly then you can go to your lover.)

"Lover? Kaun?" I asked with confusion. Who is my lover now? (Lover? Who?)

"Arrey wahi jisse abhi gale mil rahi thi." Pragya said grinning teasingly at me.

I got it now. Yeh sabko aisa kyu lagta hai. Ek ladka ladki sirf dost hoke gale nhi mil sakte kya?
(Why does everybody think like that? Can't a girl and a boy hug while being friends?)

"Arrey bhaiya, tum log bhi na. Sirf dost hai hum aur kuch nhi. Pagal ho bilkul tum log." I said laughing at them. (Oh my god, we are just friends. You guys are mad.)

"As you say" They all sighed looking at each other suppressing their laughter.

But I do like to hug him. I do like to stay beside him. I do like to listen to his voice. I do like it when he sets his eyes on me and keeps them there for more than a second.

'You like him' my heart told me. Yes, I do like him but its just friendship, isn't it? I feel comfortable around him like I feel comfortable around everyone else.

'But you don't hug everyone willingly' That's right tho but I just like it, can't I like it as a friend?

"Nysa, Nysa, let's go practice." Ayesha shook me.

"Yeah yeah, sorry."

"Let's go."

We practiced for 2 hours straight and we were almost done with the choreography. All we need is coordination and correct positions. We have designed the choreography in such a way that each member of the group gets the chance to be in the centre so that everyone gets the chance to showcase all the good they do in dance.

Its a 5 minute dance performance and each member gets 1 minute for themselves. Its going to be really fun. Now, we just need to practice one hour daily to perfect our movements and then we'll be done for our performance.

But right now, I need to rush and help Any in the dress we've designed with the help of second and third year students which she's going to model.

I ran to the design class of my college and saw her wondering something.

"What happened?" I tapped on her shoulder.

"Which one's better for the sleeve? Silver or white shimmer?"
