The next Friday came in a hurry. We didn't even get some time to prepare for it. I was excited, it was my first trip with my friend and that too on a place where I always wanted to go.

We all settled down in the bus and as usual being the coolest group of school, we all took the last row of the bus. Dhruv sat on the last seat following Cabir, Navya, Mukti, Alia and me in the last at the window seat. I always liked window seat. I sometimes feel amusing to look outside. Well that just shows that not everything in life is permanent, everything that comes in has to go.

I sighed and looked at one row ahead. There she is. Coco. With her specs on with a thick book in her hand. She was reading with so much of concentration. I felt Alia leaning to me. She smiled at me and then blinked, I blinked at her and then my eyes again travelled to her.

What is she even reading? I concentrated on the book cover. Was it a love story?

I narrowed my eyes and tried to read the cover name. It was... uhmm... Sher... Sherlock Holmes.

What?

Are you kidding me?

Girls in this age usually read some cliché love stories but she.... God... she amuses me sometimes.

I shook my head and concentrated on what Cabir was saying. Of course his one in million joke.

Soon we all were playing dumb charades and various games just to pass the time in night. Of course so many young hearts won't sleep in night. All the boys and girls were jumping here and there on various Bollywood hit numbers and showed their pathetic dance moves. Professor's kept telling us to sleep, but do we care?

In between all, I saw Nandini busy on phone or either in her book. She never took part in the ongoing activity in the bus. She did smile and cheered in between when Alia poked her but then back to her boring work.

I shook my head thinking why do I even care. I again concentrated on the game.

Early in the morning, we reached Kasauli's best resort. But all of us were too tired to acknowledge the oh-so-great interiors of the resort because of the obvious reason of staying awake like an owl the whole night.

All of us grabbed one-one keys from the reception. I picked up my bags from the floor and started walking towards the room while a hand tucked on my shoulders.

I turned around to see Cabir standing there looking at me. I looked behind him and saw everyone looking at me and raising their eye.

Did I do something wrong?

"What?" I asked yawning. Of course I was tired, I needed some sleep man....

"won't you stay with Alia?" he asked me while my eyes got wide. What? WHAT?

I looked at Alia who was shying away looking down. I kept looking at her trying to gather some words to say, like what should I say?

But before I could even speak something, Nandini came in front of me and stood facing Alia.
