After Diwali vacations ended, they were back to college and after a week NEXA event preparations were announced. As decided the girls and boys enrolled themselves. Riya, Abhimanyu, Sameer, Ishita, Natasha and Arjun met at Riya's house for group dance practice. Raj, Aniket, Ronak and Ravi were present there too. They came to meet Riya then got to know she is going to participate. Aniket and Ronak are Ravi's friend just like Raj.

While practicing there came a step where boys had to lift girls a little when they jump to support them. Ishita hesitated which didn't go unnoticed by Ravi, Raj, Riya and even Sameer. Sameer thought she is uncomfortable.

" Ishita, you are like my sister. Do not feel uncomfortable. I had cut my hands before touching you inappropriately. Don't stop or avoid me. You might get injured or cramp." Sameer whispered to her and she shook her head.

" I am not uncomfortable, Sameer. It's just..." Ishita shifted awkwardly.

" Are you sure? I am your dance partner. Your discomfort matters, Ishita." Sameer said and their conversation didn't go unnoticed by others.

" It's just... I am heavy. I may hurt y..." Ishita said looking down and he chuckled.

" Such a little thing. You literally gave me a fright." Sameer smiled and she frowned.

" You are not heavy, Ishita." Raj said and walked to her.

" Why are you concerning about your weight when you never did in past? Weren't you the one who says I love myself as I am." Ravi said making her bite her lower lip and he frowned.

" Is that the reason you are avoiding fast food, Ishu?" Riya asked.

" Yes, even I noticed you drinking green tea and eating salads and what not. You are not eating properly too. You will get weakness." Raj said concerned.

" Yes, it's your growing age. Eat butter and ghee. It's needed. It makes you healthy and chubby. I would rather say put up weight, cupcake. Shall I order pasteries and burger?" Aniket asked ruffling her hair.

" No. You all will make me fat." Ishita whined.

" Oh that's not fat, cupcake. It's called chubby. You know chubby girls are so cute and soft." Aniket said and Ronak flicked his forehead.

" Lusty hooligan." Ronak snorts.

" Are you getting insecurities? Talk to me, princess. I am here." Raj said holding her both hands and bending to her level.

" I am just eating healthy. Salads are good for health." Ishita pressed her lips together.

" That's healthy but you have to eat to fill your stomach fully. Eating fast food sometimes is not harmful. You are getting more skinny. If this continues you will end up in hospital. And these big injections will prick you." Raj said showing her the length and she made crying face making him chuckle.

" Even if you think you have so much weight then not a big deal. Only strong men gets such special gifts." Ravi said making her heart flutter.

" Only weak ones complain not strong ones. The strong one will not only carry you but your attitude, childishness, personality without complaints." Ronak said smiling at her and she smiled a bit.

" Let's get back to practice now." Natasha said and pinched Ishita's cheek.

" Tu meri pataka hai. Aur pataka shor karte hai wajan nahi karte." Natasha winked at her making her giggle.
( You are my atom bomb and an atom bomb makes noise not weighs.)

Before starting Abhimanyu and Arjun gave her cheerful smiles then started their practices again. Riya had her attention on Ishita while performing and saw Ishita still hesitating. She thought of changing dance steps but not before asking what is the problem. She has a flickering feelings that Ishita is disturbed with something since 2 days.
