A PRETENSE...

Chapter 8

*Mihira Pov*

"What are you guys doing? Let's go!" at present, I am trying to rush these people towards the court but they are delaying too much.

"There is still time for the match to begin. Why are you rushing us like this?" Kavitha complained but I continued to push them ignoring their irritation.

After we reached the place, I found the perfect place for us to sit before making sure everyone sits without leaving the place.

"Learn from her about how to listen and stop complaining." I complained pointing Rekha who is the only one listening to me and following with everything I am asking.

"We need to cheer for them. How can you do this to your friends?" I asked frowning before sitting at my place and found that the players from both teams are practicing right now.

I waved at Abhi and Vikesh who saw us and they waved back smiling before continuing their practice. I turned to my side and stiffened seeing the senior I just broke up with last week.

"How are you?" he asked smiling and I smiled back before talking to him in a normal way and found him to be here to cheer for his friend.

We concentrated on the match when it started and it is definitely a bad start. I frowned at the way our department team is playing.

"Don't worry! The other team is good at this and don't take it too seriously." He comforted but I shook my head.

"But we are not going to lose because the other team is good. They need time to work out their teamwork." I explained and he stared at me in surprise.

"I used to play the game during schooling with my friend." I added and he nodded smiling.

I glanced around during the break time when the senior left to have a word with his friend and found a group of people cheering really loud for the other team.

"Learn something from them. See how they are supporting their department." I gestured Rakesh and others to which they all laughed except for Kavitha.

"They are not cheering for their department to win but for ours to lose. They are showing their anger towards Abhi." Kalyan explained making me frown.

"Why?" I asked and he calmly pointed out Abhi's Ex-girlfriends.

"And they don't even belong to the opposite department." Rakesh added and I fumed listening to that.

"How can they do this to him? Everything is in the past, right? What will they gain by being this cold towards him?" I asked not believing that they all grouped together.

"Abhi is not as lucky as you to be friends with past relationships." Kavitha mumbled and I completely ignored her still thinking about this matter.

I know he was stupid to say his feelings like that but he didn't play with their feelings for sure as far as I heard.

I can understand their hurt but what will they gain by doing this? I shook my head and started shouting for our department the moment the game started.

Of course, we lost but still, all of us joined to cheer for them and waited near the entrance for both of them to come out.

"It's okay! You can do it next time." I mumbled to Vikesh who is looking really disappointed with the result.

"Why don't we go out today?" I offered and everyone decided to go for it.

"I will just call my home to inform them." Rekha said nodding at Vikesh and everyone followed her to do the same while I stood with Abhi and Vikesh.

I patted Vikesh's back hoping he doesn't feel too back. He was looking forward to winning this game but it was not even near to the chance of winning.
