Chapter-6

Sav’s POV

We walked back to the others with an awkward silence enveloping us. The others ran to us from the water when they saw us coming and Harry was in front.

“Savannah, I’m sorry! I didn’t really think before I acted, please forgive me?” He asked hesitantly.

“No harm done, Harold....It’s okay...” I said with a slight smile, signaling that he was forgiven.

He came forward and embraced me in a friendly hug and I hugged him back.

“Come on..It’s getting dark, we have to get these girls home...” Liam, being the mature one, spoke. I walked silently alongside the others into the minivan.

All the boys were singing beach songs. Right now, they were belting to “Oh Cecelia” by The Vamps.

I sat silently watching out of the window the entire time. We had dropped off Liam, Danielle, Harry, Niall and Eleanor. It was just me, Zayn and Louis in the cab. We reached our stop and we chorused ‘Good Night’ to Louis and walked to our respective houses.

A week passed and it was all awkward between me and Zayn and the gang noticed it too. They kept giving us questioning glances and asked me multiple times of everything was alright between us. I nodded every single time and soon enough, they got used to our silence.

I was so upset that I’d lost my best friend I made here that I walked to the dance studio of the school. I’d coaxed the janitor into giving me the keys and I connected my phone to the speakers and kept the volume so low that only I could hear it and no one would come poking their nose into my private time.

I always dance when I’m stressed or sad. What I felt now, was a mixture of both.

The first song that came up was the unplugged version of ‘Samjhawan’

I stretched my body and prepared to do freestyle dancing. This was my dance and no particular choreography need to be followed. I abide by my rules when it comes to dancing.

Main tenu Samjhawan ki...
Na tere bina lagda ji....
Main tenu Samjhawan ki...
Na tere bina lagda ji...

I began dancing with so much emotion as this fitted my situation perfectly.

“Tu ki jaane pyaar mera...
Main karun intezaar tera...
Tu dil toh yun jaan meri...”

I slowed my steps as the next words came

“Jaan meri.....Jaan meri...”

I danced all my emotions out and was nearly in tears by the end of the song. It was so beautifully composed and just perfect.

The next song that blared from the speakers was ‘Uff’ from Bang Bang. It was an upbeat song and quite cute.

As soon as the words started, I started moving myself to the fast rhythm. My mind choreographed the moves and my body obeyed it. I could see myself smiling without a care in the world from my reflection in the mirror.

“Hum ko...na khabar kab kaise aaya woh...
Oh oh...oh oh...oh oh
Dil se...khus pus kya farmaaya woh...”

I felt happy...I’m so glad I found this room...

I’m glad Zayn showed this to me

“Uff mere dil mein thodi khali si jagah thi...”The words stopped and the music started and I took a while to take my breath.

I was going to do a spin for the next stanza when I came face to face with a pair of brown eyes mid-spin.

I widened my eyes as the person started mouthing the lyrics to the song.

“Kya, kya karaungi, khwabon mein humse...
Badloon main rang kitne khaamaka...??”

As the next set of lyrics came, he began dancing with me. I still stood there shell-shocked at the fact that he can dance.

He turned as he synced:

“Haule haule tune pukara...
Jahan deewana yeh jaaye...” and pointed at me, signaling my turn to dance.

I couldn’t say no to dance, so I began.

That’s when Zayn Malik and I began dancing our hearts out to the song....

After the song ended, I turned off the speakers. Me and Zayn were both breathing heavily after our dance routine.

“You dance?” I asked him curiously

He didn’t reply, but just winked at me.

We stood there, catching our breaths, when Zayn suddenly broke the silence.

“I miss you...”

My head snapped in his direction.

“I’m sorry for the k-...what happened at the beach...I just miss you as my best friend...” He said, looking down to his shoes.

“It’s okay....Shit happens...” I spoke out with a faint smile.

“Does that mean we’re best friends again?” He asked, a hopeful look filling his eyes.

I smiled and nodded. He pulled me in for a tight hug and mumbled, “Oh! How I missed you, Sav!”

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but

“I missed you too, Zaynster...”
