Note : The story has taken almost a two year leap. Previously, we all were in eleventh beginning. Now we're in the last two months of twelfth standard. Woohoo!

Nanki

If I had to look back at the time I spent with great friends, I would have wanted maximum of the times to repeat. Rajdeep and I were closer than ever. So were Taksh and Anaysha. Srijana had found her best friend in Alen only. And guess what.

Alen asked Srijana out, so did Ansh ask Anaysha out.

And I'm all the way single.
Nikhil and this N girl never really worked. He said, that he can't have the girl because in reality, she was the biggest bitch he ever met, as he described her. Ugh... He described some of her icky activities... Well good that he got saved. He said:
"Nanki... Guess I'm gonna join you and Rajdeep to the 'away from love squad'... Any room for one more?"
I laughed at his reaction. I would have liked it if he asked me out, but oh well... Its life, and its alright, right?
Right.
That's why I love my head and hate it at the same time. It knows what to say, but I would've have wanted it to say, something like oh no, damn betcha, he will ask you out. Or like don't kid, you still like him.
Oh well.
I was in the homeroom along with Nikhil. We were snacking on a small bag of dry fruits after an hour of workout. Yep, we got a gymnasium right? And guess what, we're the first to finish all them projects. And we are expecting an 'A+'.
I saw Rajdeep running off the corner. Strange. He didn't see me? Or us?
"So now we have got less than two months left of twelfth. What do you think is up for us next eh?"
Nikhil asked nudging with his elbow.
"Don't know, hopefully something exciting?"
"Yeah! And musical!"
We shared our ardent love for music. He had mixed thoughts though. He adored dancing, but he liked math and physics as well.
"Ever thought about engineering?"
"Sure many times. I am still thinking... I already completed the eleventh and twelfth physics and maths and all the other required subjects earlier.... Whoa what?"
He giggled at my amazed expression. Damn...
I knocked at his head.
"Ow.. What was that for?"
He said setting his hair, running his fingers through them.
"Yeah it isn't empty, filled with....garb.. Okay! Greatness!"
"Yeah that's more like it!'
We bantered around as long as we could. My heart ached for some reason. That's one irritating thing. I sometimes don't remember what is bothering me, and the uneasy feeling doesn't leave.
We hung out with the groups scattered across the homeroom. Hey it was getting crowded... That means...
"Announcement everyone!"
The head boy Vrushank Anand called out for everyone to finally notice that principal sir was standing at the corner.
"Greetings students."
"Good afternoon sir."
We said in unrehearsed unison. Then sir produced a mic out of nowhere, heading on the tiny platform in the middle of the room. Usually, seniors made freshers or younger students dance on weird songs. How would principal look like? While jammin' along them awkward beats?
A video breaking youtube down.
Climbing on top of it, he continued:
"As you twelfth standard students know, that you have less than two months left until a few selected pairs of you will get your scholarships. The pairs who do get the scholarships, are going to get great opportunities. We'll discuss about that later, what I'm here to tell you is..."
"Hey!"
I almost screamed, gosh it was Anaysha, who finally found us, along with Ansh. Sir had been continuing his speech.
"...a prom. A school organized prom."
