Kya Yhi Pyaar Hai?

MESMERIZED BY HER

CHAPTER-14
SWASTIK'S POV

"Lift the desk properly will you " I said to Kiara for the nth time
"I am doing it properly. It's your problem that you are tall. You should adjust and lift up the desk accordingly " she yelled

We have been arranging desks and chair since 8 am. Almost all the work is done just few desks are left but this girl. She has started to throw tantrums saying she have ate nothing she so, I should consider her as good as zombie.

Rolling my eyes I lower the desk a bit. Putting it on the place, she heaved breath dramatically.
"Just two more then you are free to go" I said
"You talking like a gym trainer you know" She said laughing at her own lame joke. When she saw I am not laughing she too stopped and glanced around awkwardly.

I was about to lift another desk when she siat on it. I glared at her.
"Prince I was thinking why not we put our desk a little away from the rest" she said swaying her legs.
"And why is that?" I asked crossing hands over chest.

"Look it's nice being friendly and all but we need to let people know who are the leaders. Keeping our desks away will show a bit authority " she said
I looked at her amazed by the way she thinks. I have always seen Kiara as a social butterfly. But this Kiara is not what I have seen before.

"I am hungry let's get this done and leave" she said jumping down the desk.
We arranged the last two desk in a separate area from rest but together so that we wouldn't have problem communicating.

Afterwards we went to the campus mess together.
Breakfast has just been started to serve.
I take aloo prantha and tea while she bought chole bhature and lassi. From childhood I have been obsessed with aloo prantha and tea as it was the only dish mom has ever cooked of me.

We ate together, bickering about how we will manage our internship along with society. After finishing breakfast I decided to go to library. She followed after saying she has nothing better to do.

I was studying while she scrolled through her phone, giggling.
Shaking my head at her unseriousness I kept on doing my work.

In evening I went to the base room though we don't have any work for sometimes I still prefer to use my time wisely. I have to talk to her if she can help me with graphics skills. It's going to so embarrassing but for education I am ready to put my ego down.

She enters the room hopping and chirping sometimes I wonder how can she always be this much energetic.
"Hey" she said bowing dramatically. I rolled my eyes.

"I have to tell you something" we both said together
I closed my eyes. She always have something to say.
"I will go first" she said.
As if she will let me speak even if I try.

"So, I am organizing a party day after result, I have talked to your friends they are all coming. So, tu bhi aa jana " she said
"I have never been to party and I don't plan on going" I said shaking my head
"That's better. This party is going to be your first fare" she chirped
"I an not" I said
"Yes you are" she said putting her hands on her waist

"I am not and now it's my turn so shut up" I said
She scoffed and side eyed me
I opened my mouth but no words come out. It's not that easy to ask your enemy for help.
"Jaldi bol Kal palwal nikalna hai" she said and laughed at her own joke. I glared at her.
"I want your help with graphics" I said not looking at her

"You already got a project. Wah you didn't tol-" I cut her off
"Not for project but for myself. I want you to help me with skill enhancement " I said standing up from chair I turned my back on her

She remains silent. I run my fingers through my hair ready for the taunt she is going to throw my way.
"You don't really have to. It's just professor who suggested that we should help ea-" I said turning my face back her way. But I stopped midway to see a soft smile on her face instead of smirk.

"You don't need to explain. You can always just ask" she said. She walked over to my desk and sat on chair infront of me.
"Who are you waiting for take out your laptop" she said taking out her notepad
I hesitantly sit and take out my laptop

We studied together for a while. She taught me few shortcut codes. I was amazed at her sharp mind. Throughout I expected her quirky remarks but she didn't said anything that can make me feel bad. Though her lame jokes irritated me but I was not in place to say anything.

When I noticed that she was continuesily yawning. I looked at the time to realized it was 9 pm.
I looked at her to see her head down on desk. Her eyes were closed.

I am seeing her this calm for the first time. Who wouldn't be tried if they keep on hopping around the campus. She talks so much sometimes even I wonder if she has some chatterbox fixed in her mouth.

Calm Kiara looks mesmerizing. Even during school she was the most pretty girl in the school. Nothing has changed much though. Her faces glows as moonlight falls on her face.

A strand of her hair falls on her face. I want to tuck that strand behind her ear. My hand involuntarily lifts up. My fingers where so close to her face when she opened her eyes. My eyes widen. She jerked her head up which hits my chin hard. Due to hit I fall from my chair.

I groaned in pain. I glared at her.
"Ab yhi rhne ka plan hai kya?" She said as she forwards her palm. Ignoring her hand I stood up.
"What were you upto?" She said raising her brows
I rubbed my nap nervously looking here and there.
She stepped closer. Looking in my eyes she says
"Bol. Were you mesmerized by my beautiful face" she said with a smirk

Not a lie. I was mesmeri- . Not the time. I should think of something
"Mosquito. There was a Mosquito " I said. Thankfully not stammering.
She scoffed and starts packing her stuff.
"Thanks for saving me from deadly diseases" she said sarcastically.
"I am going" she said yawning and walked out.

I also packed my bag and walked out. She was standing outside maybe waiting for me.
We both walked to dorm.
"What do you want in return?" I asked
"For?" She asked
"For helping me" I said
"Come to the party" she said looking at the stars after a minute. She looked back at me. Mumbling a bye she walked in girls dorm area.
