Arjun's POV:
The poem from the secret admirer was running through my mind.
Anusha and her friends were chatting animatedly about the design concept, but I found it hard to focus.
I bit my lip, stifling a laugh at the idea of someone threatening girls who dared to talk to me.
Who could've written this ?, I thought, scanning the classroom.
My gaze landed on Deepika, who was obliviously chatting with her friends.
A part of me wondered if it could be her. Deepika wouldn’t dare to do something like this, She's too sweet, too straightforward.
I leaned back in my chair, still trying to piece it together. "It must be someone else," I mumbled to myself.
" You find it amusing don't you ?" Anusha asked me.
" Find what amusing?" I asked her.
" That someone is indirectly threatening me. " She said folding her hands.
I laughed it off.
" Yeah, We don't feel comfortable Arjun " Bhavani said.
Arul was not giving any shit about the conversation.
" Well, what can I do ?" I asked innocently.
" Tell her to stop it !" Anusha said.
" As if I know who ! " I said.
Kiran Sir came to our table for discussing our progress.
We showed him our current concept and he told us corrections.
" Tsk. Tsk. You guys need to work faster. " Kiran sir said.
" Why Sir ?" I asked him.
" That Manoj group has almost finalized their plan. " Kiran Sir said.
Of course, they have Deepika in their team.
Arjun is no less though.
" We will complete the single line plan before tomorrow Sir " I told him.
My group looked at me shocked.
" Good " Sir said and left.
" But how will we do it ? " Keerthi asked.
" Well, let's start the real game now " I said.
I proceeded to do a brain storming session with all of my group members ideas.
I sketched a rough plan for the entire house and gave one space to each of them.
" Now, the time is 4:00, before 4:30 I need quick sketches of interior layouts of each of your spaces " I told them.
We started doing rough sketches individually.
While I was busily sketching the layout for the living room, my eyes landed on Deepika, who was also staring at me from her desk. Her eyebrows were knitted together in confusion.
I gave a smirk at her and she abruptly turned away.
I huffed out and continued my work.
By 4:30, I collected the layouts from my team mates and rolled them with mine. The bell rang and we started packing.
" So how will you piece them together?" Arul asked me.
" By drafting them together" I said.
" But that might change some of our initial layouts" he said.
