Part 103- Partners

Prachi and Shahana shockingly looked up to see... Priyanka.

"Whaaaattt?" Riya whispered to herself, still in her seat, mouth slightly open, as she saw what was happening.

"How did this happen?" Aryan asked himself shocked, with a disappointed face as he defeatedly sat back down on his chair, with a cute pout because Priyanka had beat him in asking Shahana to work on the project.

"So can we work together?" Priyanka asked again breaking Shahana and Prachi out of their shock, as they looked at each other in confusion.

"Oh, actually I'm already-." Shahana began to say.

"Please don't refuse, you seem pretty smart, and I'm new, I missed like two months of this class, so it'll be a great help." Priyanka said pleadingly.

"Uh okay sure." Shahana said with a small smile, when Prachi nudged her, telling her to say something, nodding her head to tell Shahana that she should work with Priyanka.

"Thank you, that's awesome, well if we're working together, I should probably introduce myself. Hi, I'm Priyanka, Priyanka Jaisingh." Priyanka said with a small smile, extending a hand to shake Shahana's.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Shahana Arora." Shahana said with a smile as she shook Priyanka's hand, both of their foreheads creasing slightly in confusion, as they felt a warm touch that they had known before, slowly letting go of each other's hands.

"Wow traitor, you just left me all alone. Now, who am I supposed to work with?" Riya asked dramatically as she came to stand next to Priyanka.

"Riu, we can work-." Prachi began to say.

"Oh, I know who I want to work with. Ari come here!" Riya said yelling the last part, so Aryan could hear her, purposely cutting Prachi off.

"What do you want?" Aryan asked not in the mood, reluctantly coming to stand next to Riya, all the while giving Priyanka a side eye for her betrayal, making her shrink.

"Work with me on the project." Riya said happily trying to keep from smirking at Prachi's annoyed face. To which Aryan just shrugged and nodded his head in agreement, now full-on glaring at Priyanka, while she tried to hide behind Riya.

"Oh wait, now Pikachu doesn't have a partner." Riya said as if she just noticed this with a little smirk that she couldn't control.

"You think?" Prachi asked sarcastically, more annoyed.

"Yo, people who doesn't have a partner yet?!" Riya yelled out to the class, to which everyone shook their heads, and Pragya shushed her, making her smile sheepishly.

"Oh wait, I know, Ranbir doesn't have a partner, yet." Priyanka informed, realizing what Riya was doing, now peeking out from behind Riya, because Aryan was no longer glaring at her, too busy in an eye lock with Shahana.

"Oh yeah true." Riya said pretending to think, giving Priyanka a grateful smile, while Prachi raised an eyebrow at their weird behavior.

"Ranbir come here." Riya whisper yelled because she didn't want to shushed again, but he didn't hear her because he was too busy in a trance looking at Prachi.

"Ranbir, Ra-." Riya kept on whispering now just to mess with Prachi, quietly chuckling when Prachi rolled her eyes and got up to go to Ranbir herself.

Ranbir tilted his head to the side cutely as he saw Prachi coming his way, still in a trance, with a soft smile.
Moving his face closer to her when she waved a hand in front of him to bring him back to reality.

"Ranbir!" Prachi yelled exasperated snapping her fingers in front of his face, in turn, she too getting shushed by Pragya, giving her Mom an embarrassed smile.
