Nandini's P.O.V.
Jennifer, the new girl, is inside the girls' washroom. She said that she'll first take a bath and then have something. So, I decided to head back towards the common room where everyone was.
As I stepped out out of the room, someone grabbed me from my arm and pushed me inside the little space between the bookshelf and the wall. As the person held my arm, a gush of electric current flew down my body and I got to know that it was Manik.
We were both in between the wall and the bookshelf.
“Manik, tum kya kar rahe ho? (Manik, what are you doing?) I said shyly and sheepishly as he cubbed my cheeks.
“Ssh...” he said pressing his index finger on my lips.
“Lekin ko ah gya toh?” (“What if someone comes?”) I asked.
He hugged me slowly and seductively, making me feel as if butterflies were flittering their wings inside my stomach.
I couldn't help it anymore and hugged him too. I always doubt that he was a magician. I mean, whenever I looked into his eyes, I fell as if I am lost... I fell like he has some kind of special magic powers who always invade my mind. His flawless face makes my heart pound. They way he calls out my name makes me smile, even if I am in a very bad mood.
A hair came flying on my face, when Manik, slowly, moved his hand across my left cheek and tucked my hair behind my left ear.
Manik is just perfect. I love the way he is. I remember how we used to hate each other. But now, I am deeply and madly in love with him.
“Mr. Manik Malhotra,” I said boldly, “I want to say something to you.”
“What?” he asked worriedly.
“Okay. Manik, listen. It's not my fault that I fell in love with you. It was you who tripped me.” I said.
I noticed a slight smile on his face. I know that my confessions of our love make him feel happy.
“Oh really?” he said hugging me tightly.
“Really.” I replied.
I soon heard a sound. That sound was the unpleasant sound created while unlocking the girls washroom's door. Oh no! I thought.
“Manik..Manik Jennifer is coming out.” I said trying to push him away from me and get out of the little place we were tucked in.
“Nandini, relax. No one is going to find us.” he said and held me even tighter.
I don't know how can he be so chilled out at times.
Uh oh!
Exactly after he said this, out of nowhere, appeared Jennifer, who was giggling and definitely trying to control her laughter.
“Oops! Sorry guys.” she said trying to control her laughter. We both quickly came out of our initial positions and blushed.
“Um...guys. It's okay. You can carry on. Just tell me the way to the common room. I'll go.” she said in a very casual tone and then began to laugh.
“Do you guys always get caught like this?” she teased.
I really thought that the red colour on my face won't be more red but I was so wrong! My face right now was even more red that the tomato Manik used as a birthday cake for me.
“Um...Jennifer? It's okay. Come on. We'll show you the way.” I said.
“We'll? Aha! So NaMan... nah... MaNan got to show me the way? Yeah!” she said and paused. “Are you sure you do not want to continue? ” she teased.
“JENNIFER!” Manik said, “No.”
Aww! He looks too cute while he blushes. The red colour suits him more that me.

We reached inside the common room where only Mukti was there. Mukti said, “Oh hi Jennifer.” then she noticed us and said, “Don't tell me even you caught them together.” she moved her focus from Jennifer to Manik and said, “Manik? At least not in front of the new!”
Both of the girls laughed. Oh boy. They are exactly the same. Both of them are dressed in the same kind of clothes and are very similar. They have same personalities. One Mukti was so difficult to handle... and now another one! I thought.
“Guys,” said Jennifer, “we have a tip for you both.” the personality twins looked at each other and said in unison, “Don't get caught!” and laughed like hell.
