Dance

Evara's pov

Akarsh. He grew so much. He was tall earlier but now he's taller. He smelled like...
Chocolate.
Clean shaved, chiseled jaw, muscular and a bit lean. Wearing a white shirt and beige pants. With a black belt,
Of course.
He looked...
Nice.
I do slightly remember him. He was heartthrob of the school. Like I don't know but some girls of my class were crazy over the seniors.
Me and Erisha were quite in trouble because girls usually begged us for pairing keshav and akarsh with them. As they would.
Keshav used to ignore the proposals. But akarsh was always declined using the line, 'I like someone else'. No one knew who she was.
Does he now has her as girlfriend?
Wait
Why am I diving into memories so much.
I shrugged away my thoughts as the car stopped and akarsh opened the gate...
For
Me?
I gave him small smile and got out of the car. His black orbs were shining.
Me, Erisha and Akarsh went to the garden where everyone was.
Erisha started to talk with someone as I too met with everyone.
Surprisingly, as soon as I met everyone, I realized that I actually had their names registered in my brain yet.
Well, not bad Evara.
We all sat in circle as everyone had something in their hands to eat something or to drink something.
I had piece of cake with me as we all were chatting.
Suddenly a guy came up with chicken wings and asked everyone if they wanted.
I am a vegetarian.
Taimar, who was a random senior of our batch, was sitting beside akarsh as he spoke, "Akarsh, I remember in you were non vegetarian like when you came to our school in 11th class. But then you suddenly became vegetarian. Are you still vegetarian." Akarsh awkwardly smiled as he looked at Erisha.
"Yes Akarsh, are you still vegetarian?" Erisha said with a teasing smile.
Akarsh chuckled awkwardly, "yes guys I'm still vegetarian."
"But why? Suddenly? Like I remember you were so fond of chicken and sea food stuff. And then you were suddenly so thoughtful about animals. I remember you were being so dramatic when we all asked you. And declined over eating chicken." Keshav said.
"A-Actually I saw a video about animals and their struggle with it. We should really save animals and not eat them." He said as I immediately nodded agreeing with him.
"That's so nice, being thoughtful about animals. I'm too a vegetarian from start." I smiled as Erisha laughed. I looked at confusedly.
Akarsh shooted glares at her and she stopped. What's going on with them? As much as I remember, they both were chaotic in school. Always bickering.
Tanya suddenly stood up gathering attention of all of us, "Let's play Truth and Dare." I wonder if God invented any other game other than this.
Everyone nodded as they sat properly and tanya came up with a bottle.
"Okay let's begin!" Keshav said as the game began.
The bottle pointed towards... Tanya herself.
"Choose, Truth or dare!" Rakul said.
"I'm a daring person, so Dare it is!" She said and flipped her hair dramatically.
"Kiss a girl for 30 seconds!" Taimar said.
Tanya looked around the circle as her eyes stopped at.. Me?
"I'm gonna kiss Evara!" She cheered and came towards me.
No way.
I'm gonna lose my first kiss to a girl that too in a dare. I'm internally screaming already.
"W.. Whaa-" I was cutted off by Erisha.
"NO Tanya kiss me!"
Ew
Is she so desperate to be kissed.
Well thanks to her for saving me.
Tanya went towards her and kissed her as I chuckled at Keshav's expressions.
"I can't believe this ew" Keshav said.
"Well you were the only one to give dare!" Akarsh said and rolled his eyes.
As we all laughed.
Game began again as now the bottle was towards me.
"Miss please choose!" Erisha said.
"Truth. Yes." I'm not a daring person, I will say.
"Okay okay so umm what's your type?" Rakul asked.
------------------------------------------------------------
Akarsh's POV

Tanya's dare was good until she chose my Evara. No way I'm letting her kiss Evara.
I nudged my elbow to Erisha who was sitting beside me and whispered,
"Stop her!!" I whisper-yelled at her.
"I can't do anything" She said ignoring me. I looked at her unbelievably.
"Please!! I cant see her kissing Tanya no!" I  gave her the most pleasing tone of my voice.
"What am I supposed to do? Ask Tanya to kiss me instead of her?" She said while glaring.
"Please!!!!" I nudged her and joint my hands in tiny, as she sighed and asked Tanya to kiss her.
A wave of relief went through me as I looked at Evara's face, she looked thankful to Erisha.
Once again the game began and now the point was towards Evara.
She chose truth, as Rakul asked her about her type. I was calm a second ago as I looked at her curiously. She hesitated to speak first and then she spoke,
"I don't have a specific type. Um.. Maybe I just want him to be like umm.. Flirty and romantic, and he should be loving and affectionate towards me. Just like in books. That's all."
I chuckled.
Damn.
I knew she read books but never thought she read romantic genre.
I have to start reading these books. I will ask Erisha.
If she will be my girlfriend, I will obviously be overly obsessed, affectionate and loving towards her.
She doesn't have a idea of me being head over heels, for her.
The game restarted as now the bottle came towards again..
Evara.
I giggled at her tensed expression as now she has to choose dare.
She knew they all will give something stupid.
"Guys please give nice dares." She said as she looked at everyone.
Suddenly Erisha spoke loudly, "DANCE!"
"Uuuuuh?" Evara looked at her.
"I mean dance with umm... " She pretended to think and looked around.
"Dance with Akarsh!" She said as I looked at Erisha with surprised expression as I gave her a little thumbs up. This is the first time I've liked Erisha.
I looked at Evara who was a bit hesitant and looked at me.
"A.. Akarsh? Would you dance with me?" She spoke as I nodded. I wasn't a fool to decline.
Erisha played a soft violin cover as we were now in the centre of the circle.
She came little close as I looked at her closely.
She was heavenly pretty.
I gave her my hand as we slowly danced. I made sure she was comfortable as we danced slowly, for 30 seconds.
Her hands were soft and cold, her steps were slow.
30 seconds went by a snap as music stopped. I tried to look away from her, but I couldn't. I forced myself to, then I saw at my place rakul shifted as Erisha winked at me.
Lord.
Yes.
I then sat on Rakul's seat which was beside Evara.
"Guys it's cold, let's lit bonfire!" Mitakshi said.
Rakul, prisha, and keshav set the bonfire.
I looked at Evara who was sitting beside me, She was glowing more because of fire.
"When we danced, your hands were cold. Do you want me to warm them up for you? " I whispered in her left year as her eyes widened up a bit.
She looked at me and slowly shook her head, "n-no I'm..im fi..fine" I chuckled at her.
She looked,
Flustered.
Cute.
The night went smooth. We were singing music, dancing, playing and reviving the memories of the school.
Everyone was enjoying until keshav spoke gathering the attention.
" Guys, I have a important announcement!" He said.
We all looked at him, waiting for him to tell us the very important announcement.
"I'm getting married." He spoke as everyone gasped.
"Really?" Evara looked at him surprised.
"I proposed to my girlfriend last week. She said yes. The family talks are done. They were more than ready. So next month, it is!" He said as I looked at Erisha.
"You witch you knew about this, why didn't you tell me?" I said as I looked at her pouted.
"suRpRisee!" She said. She's sleepy defo.
"Eve, we are gonna wear matching clothes and will have lots of FUNN" She said as I nodded at her sleepy state.
"Guys, it's 3 am. Erisha and Aisha are so sleepy. And I guess y'all must be too. So let's just go in the rooms and sleep?" Rakul said as everyone agreed.
Aisha and Erisha already went as they were super sleepy.
I was about to go with them but.....
