Abhi pov:-
Her eyes met mine...I saw fear in her eyes.. Immediately she shifted her gaze to ground...I felt dejected...Sid started to interrogate both of them
Her friend is replying and started to question him back...She is over confident and very outspoken..On the other hand she is staring at the ground and feeling... Uncomfortable?
May be she is not social... Understanding her discomfort I signalled sid to stop..And he said.."Okay ladies...Nice meeting you."..And extended his hand...Which her friend totally ignored and walked away..
Sid was taken aback...It's the first time in history someone ignored him and his charms didn't work on...He was beyond shocked...I started laughing at him and he hit me playfully saying..Shut up abhi.
I turned back to see one last glance at her. And started walking away...

Sashi pov:-
"Abhi???Is his name abhi?...You mean that abhi you were talking about the other day..The hottest guy of the campus"I asked shock clearly visible in my eyes...
"Aaahhhhh...Am so happy.....Sashi darloo....The hottest guy of the campus has fallen for you...Am so envious...If I were you...I would be literally dancing now.."nidhi said almost dancing
"What are you talking?He didn't fall for me..Neither did I "I told defending myself..But deep down...I doubt it..
I didn't see him till the week...It's Saturday today and the classes are over early today...I dont want to go home as nobody will be there now...My amma, nanna and vamsi went to marriage of our distant relatives..Only grandma is left to accompany me... If I go home now..I will be hearing lectures till night...So I choose to stay in school itself for atleast an hour..My friends told they will accompany me..But I declined politely..I couldn't force anyone or make them suffer because of me..If kushi was there she would have stayed..But she is absent today...Finally...I was left alone in the school...
It's raining everyday...Since last week... Mornings used to be very sunny..And by the time it's 4...Winds used to cool down and it will start raining from dusk to dawn...
It's the same today...I sat in class studying for the upcoming test andwithout knowing two hours passed..I realised now and started to rush thinking grandma will be upset because of my late arrival..I was about to get up and my hand hit on desk making all the things fall down and when I bent down to pick up,my head is hit to top of the bench..Finally I ended hurting me.. he is there standing at the entrance leaning on the door...I don't know since when he was here..He is smiling at my clumsiness...
My heart skipped a beat and my hands started to sweat...I bent my head and started to walk only to be blocked by him at the entrance..I looked up and he has that lopsided smile dancing on his lips...He said "hi!!I am abhi..Eleven A1..Mpc..And you are.."
I don't want to tell him but my mouth betrayed me and I told"he..Hell..o.i am sas.shii"I stammered...I was embarrassed and want earth to swallow me right away..
He let me out and started walking with me"hie sashi..It was very nice meeting you...I have been trying to meet you singly..I know that you won't open up if anyone is around you...so..Finally toady we met"
I was shocked at his statement...How does he know that I can't talk in public?
I didn't reply anything and started walking fast fearing if anyone sees us..They would misunderstand..He matched my pace in two long steps and told.."don't worry sashi!Nobody are there in the campus"does he know mind reading or what?How can he know every thought of mine?
Suddenly it started raining..I was in dilemma.. Whether to go or not..He asked"can I drop you in my car?"for which I politely declined.."No Thank you"I could neither go nor stop...Grandma will be panicking by now..
He went back...I took a long breath to cool my racing heart...Within no time he came with an umbrella...And asked"shall we?"
"No problem..I will go by bicycle"I told him panicking.."it's raining heavily sashi.. You will be drenched completely and moreover..The roads are very bad and there are chances that you could skid"he explained calmly.."it's getting dark..Let me accompany you till your home..Only if you are okay with it"he added.
He is being a gentleman..What is said is right..I nodded simply and we started walking...

Abhi pov:-
Omg..Omg...This is actually happening...She agreed to walk with me.. I am the happiest man in the whole world...I am doing a happy dance inside...
I know her home is just a 20 minutes walk from school...Without her knowledge I have been following her secretly...From my survey I got to know many things...She is very conservative girl..An introvert to outside world.. But she is very active cracking jokes..Teasing others... Bunking classes...Her ownself comes out only when she is comfortable with the people around her... Which I started trying...To befriend her and make her comfortable...
While walking..I slowly initiated conversation about studies.. this is the safest topic right now...She told that she hates maths...That's why she has chosen bipc and when I asked about her family...Her eyes lit up...She told about her naughty brother..Her strict grand mother...Her obedient mom and her dad..Though what she said is very brief..With her words I got to know she is very attached to her family...
We reached her home and out of courtesy she asked me to come in...As we entered,we are welcomed by her angry grandmother...Who on seeing me instantly masked her anger and welcomed in..Hope she will get a nice lecture after I leave..
Her home is small..Compared to my mansion..But it has a personal touch..A long hall divided into two...The other half is dining hall...The kitchen is located out it seems...Grandma welcomed me with a plate full of onion pakodas(Indian snack made of basin and onions)and lemonade...
Later she asked..Why we were late...I told that we had an assignment together so we stayed in school itself...And later it started raining...listening to my lie.. sashi's face went pale...And was speechless...
Her grandma thanked me for dropping sashi at home...And with that I left her home...
Today is the most memorable day of my life...

Sashi pov:-
How could he lie so easily?That too grandma believed him...I was beyond shocked...After he left,grandma didn't say a word to me...If it was any other day...She would be literally yelling at me...His words really made a magic..
After that day...We used to see each other often in the corridor or at the ground..Where intercollegiate sports meet was held and he played basketball..Or in the canteen..We used to smile at each other..That's it..Sometimes he would come to temple on Fridays...These days I am becoming more comfortable with him and also...Greedy...
