Riya jumped in her seat when two hands blocked her sight.
"Guess who darling?" He asked.
"Mayank?"
"No."
"Ishan?"
"No."
"Omkar?"
"Forget it" He was annoyed. He sat on the chair beside her.
"This is a library Rohit." She didn't even glance at him.
"I know that."
"Then how come you are here and that too so early in the morning?"
"I could ask you he same thing darling."
"You answer me first."
"I will. But ladies first..." He gave her a smile.
Diya shook her head. "I woke up early, so I came here to read."
"Couldn't sleep. Why? Were you thinking about me darling?"
"Don't call me that." She glared at him.
"Does it bug you?"
"Yes."
"Okay darling." He smirked.
She gave him a flat look. "I have a name. Call me by that or don't talk to me. And I will really appreciate if you choose the second option."
"That's not going to happen dar... Diya."
"Seriously Rohit, why are you here?"
He opened his bag and took our a few sheets of paper. "Here is something on the project."
She took them from him and glanced through the pages. "Who did this for you?"
"I did it myself. I am not as dumb as you think."
"Then? Oh my god! You are dumber?"
"Ha ha. Very funny."
"Anyway, I'll read these later." She folded the sheets and kept them in her bag. She continued to read the book in her hand.
He started drumming his fingers on the desk and looked around.
When she noticed that he didn't leave she looked at him. "What?"
"Umm... Nothing," he said. "Hey... are you coming to the game this Thursday?"
"No."
"Why? Come na... For me."
She raised an eyebrow. "For you? Why should I come for you?"
"I meant for the team. And I am in the team so... Anyway you should come. To cheer us."
"I'm sure you already have many fans for that."
"But if you come it will make a difference."
"I'll think about it."
"Great. See you on Thursday then." He stood up to leave. She had just turned back to book when she heard his voice again.
"See you at the after party too."
"After party?"
"Yeah. It's by the opposing team."
"I must remind you that it's been just two weeks since we were caught by the principal."
"Yeah so. That was the past." He just shrugged his shoulders. "So you coming?"
"I don't think so."
"Look anyway it's in the other college. Not in our campus."
She shook her head and was about to refuse. She also wondered why was he being so pushy for her to come.
"Just come. Nothing will happen this time." He assured.
"Okay."
He smiled.
"But." She continued. "That's only if you win."
"If I win?"
"I meant your team... If our college team wins, I'll come to the afterparty."
He smirked and bent down to her ear level. "Now we will surely win."

Whoo.... The crowd hooted as the host announced the college names of the two teams between whom the match was being held.
"Can you see them?" Aayush asked with four cans of coke in his hand.
"Nope," Diya said.
They were standing at the lower end of the stands searching for Khushi and Anchal. Anchal, a friend of Khushi had tagged along with them to watch the game. They two had gone ahead to secure seats while Diya and Aayush had gone to purchase some snacks."There they are." Diya said when she found Khushi waving towards them.
"I still can't see them."
"Follow me."
Aayush followed Diya as she climbed the steps. "Next time they are going to purchase the snacks while we secure the seats."
"Totally." Diya agreed.
She handed Khushi and Anchal one chips packet each and took one can from Aayush before sitting down.
"Is the toss done?"
"Yes," Khushi answered.
"Damn! What happened?"
"We won the toss and are going to bowl first."
"Have they lost it?" Aayush shouted. "We should have batted first."
"I know," Khushi said munching on her chips. "But what can we do now?"
Just then the players entered the ground.
Go Angels Go !!! They shouted with the crowd for their college.
