Curious

Warning: Most boring chapter ever!
You can skip it if you wanna, next chapter is going to be interesting I assure you!

Same day
Sanket's POV
Damn, I hurt her so much today. And when I humiliated her infront of others, I could see pain in her eyes, obviously anyone would be hurt with such an act but there was something else. It was like something was still haunting her from her past.
I must inquire.

The next day

College
Aashna: I just hope i dont clash with my rival today. He's literally the most annoying person on this Earth. So egoistic!

Mrunu: Shaant, shaant! Why are you talking about him subah subah!? (smirks)

Aashna: Shut up mrunu! I am just so annoyed with him.

Ashi: Haan okayy

Canteen area (the usual spot where incidents happen!)
The boys and the girls are together around a table, discussing about their sleepover/trip to Lonavala
They discuss for a while, coming to a conclusion
Rishu would be carrying the games, Music system/small speaker would be carried by Manav. Also, Manav mentions there is already a cook there as his dad come and go to that farmhouse so the food would be ready when they reach there.
Ani: Abhi bas karo yaar, no more discussion I am already bored!

Addy: Lets just go to our respective classes, its time for our lectures.
Everyone agree.

They leave for their respective classes except Sanket.

Manav: Chal bro, we have our lectures now!

Sanket: Haan aata hu, have some work.

Manav: Dude, Aashna bhi gayi, ab kya?

Sanket: Abey, vo nahi, I-I'm hu-hungry I'll just eat something and come. ( he stammers-lying! )

Manav: Jo bhi hai, I know you're lying. I'll go now but i will know why were you here somehow.

Sanket texts Unnati to meet her in the canteen few minutes later.
She comes there.

U: What happened? My friends were already suspicious because I never be late to my classes and you have called me now!

S: Arey, sit.

U: Just tell me what has happened Mr.egoistic

S: Um, I wanted to know about Aashna's past.

U: Why do you wanna know about her past!?

S: Just tell me

U: You better know it from her only. I am noone to let out her past to any random person.

Sanket rolled his eyes.
Manav heard all of this.

M: Aha, so sanku wants to know about Aashna's past

S: uh, haan

M: Dude, just chill. She will tell us once we all bond.

S: whatever (rolled his eyes)
Sanket really wanted to know about Aashna's past. He couldn't bear the upset face of Aashna. He couldn't see anyone hurting her once again because of her past.

skips to saturday morning.

They all meet at the meeting spot.
Mrunu: Woopie, our first trip together.
All cheered and laughed.

Sanket's POV
While entering the bus, again..
Me and Aashna clashed.
We were about to have an eye-contact and she avoided me and went inside the bus.
No she didnt fall this time, making me sad. I wanted to catch her this time and feel her, I wanted to see if she still had the pain of me hurting her that day. Uff sanku, do you have a soft corner for her?
You definitely do, my inner soul says.
