Dorm Days

16

Sorry for late update

Here's a long chap cutus❤️

•••

The sports meet was already buzzing with excitement, but the real entertainment was brewing in the dorm. The air was charged with anticipation as the girls sat around in their dorm room, laughing and teasing Heer, who'd been selected to dance at the end of the 3rd day on the cultural evening. The moment the girls heard that of all the people in the world, she had been paired with Bhavna, they knew this was going to be gold.

As soon as they got back to their room after lunch, the teasing began. "Uhm mmm.. Heer didi dancing with Bhavna?" Deepti grinned, barely holding back laughter. "Aap sure ho na.. Ki aap usse 'accidentally' dhakka maarke neeche toh nahi giraoge?"

(Are you sure that you won't 'accidentally' push her and cause her to fall?)

Heer threw her towel onto the bed, rolling her eyes, though the tiniest smile tugged at her lips. "Tu mereko tempt matt kar."

(You don't tempt me)

"Come on" Kashvi chimed in, not ready to let her off the hook. "It's taqdeer guys.. Kya pata universe aap dono ko ek mauka de, you know..uske sath ek bond banane keliye"

(You know this is fate. The universe just wants you two to bond)

"Bond!?" Heer scoffed.

"Yeah!! Bestiess foreverr" Dia shrieked and earned a look of disgust from Heer.

Maher, always the instigator, leaned in with a mischievous grin. "Ye sab dance keliye nahi, us Viraj ka chakkar hai. Tu jal rhi hai ki woh tere bande ke saath chipakti hai"

(Oh, this isn't about the dance. It's about Viraj. You're just jealous because she's all cozy with him)

Heer grabbed a pillow and threw it at Maher, who ducked just in time. "This has nothing to do with him. Aur waise bhi tum logon ko toh pata hi hai vo kitni annoying hai.. Sochti hai, woh perfect hai sabme. Huhh!"

(You guys know how Bhavna is.. She thinks she's perfect at everything.)

Kashvi, the soft-hearted one, tried to keep it together but failed miserably, breaking into giggles. "Teri toh lag gayi sachme!"

(You are screwed)

"Pata hai, par-" Heer muttered, running her hands through her hair. "Mujhe toh ye Bhavna ke saamne Viraj ko dekhne ka mann bhi nhi karta. Huhh! Agar maine mess up kiya toh?"

(I know, I don't even want to look at Viraj when Bhavna's around. What if I mess up?)

"Nahi karegi," Dia said, waving a hand dismissively. "Unless, Tu Viraj ko dekhte khud giregi." The whole group erupted in a laughter again.

(You won't, Unless, you trip over your own feet staring at Viraj.)

After the laughter died down, Heer slumped onto her bed, letting out a long sigh. "You guys are the worst," she muttered, though a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

Maher sat down next to her and gave her a light nudge. "Mazak kar rhe the.. Tujhe bhi pata hai hum tere saath hai" Heer couldn't help but smile at that. Her friends might tease her to the brink of madness, but they were always there when she needed them.

(Hey, we're just messing with you. You know we've got your back, right?)

Deepti plopped down on the other side of her. "Haa.. Humko maza aata hai aapko pareshan karne mai" She wrapped an arm around Heer's shoulder and squeezed. "Plus, woh aapke saamne ek minute nahi tikegi"
