Us Being Us (A Darshan Raval Fanfic)

XI. What?

Darshan's POV:

I was back at home for a week now. I kinda missed having Aisha to cuddle with? What is wrong with me? She was so warm and looked so cute when she was asleep. I got dressed and walked to school immersed in Aisha's thoughts. I missed Aisha's humming and dancing. 

I reached the school in around 15 minutes. Aisha zoomed past me and jumped and hugged Jyugal. He laughed. 

Aisha's POV:

Jyugal sent me a small gift for the approval thing. It was a really cute necklace with an A on it that opens up for adding photographs. "It is so cute, J!! I love it so much. You're the best," I smiled. Darshan was staring at us. I waved in front of his face. "Sorry," he muttered. "You know what, Bhai? The songs you chose. Those were the bomb. The society was in love with them. They were so happy. Like, WOAH," I informed. Jyugal laughed. I headed in. "Alisha, yaar. That audition..."

Darshan's POV:

Aisha ran up to Alisha chattering away about some dance auditions. She was so tensed about it. "Oye. Kya ghoor raha hai?" Siddharth asked. I shook my head to get rid of Aisha's thoughts. "Okay. Class, before we get started with today's lesson, Aisha will be announcing something very important," Miss David announced as she sat down in her chair, "Aisha. Please come up here."

She walked up to the front of the class. "Uh. Good Morning, everyone. I am here today on behalf of the entire Dance Society. Um, we are going to be auditioning students. We will choose 3 boys and 3 girls who will perform with us in the August-end performance and will be permanent parts of the Society. Those who cannot make the commitment of being with the Society, please do not audition. The signup sheets are outside the Society's meeting room. And the audition will be on Monday, 6 days later. Everyone who wants to audition will make up a 1-minute choreography on any song they want. Thank you," she informed and walked back to her seat. She looked so adorable when she was nervous. What? 

Later... 

"J! Bhai! Jyugal!!" Aisha called as she ran up to Jyugal. She stopped beside us and heaved for air. "Aaram se. Kyun bulaaya?" Jyugal asked. "Arre, haan. Do you... want to... audition? Niu was asking." Jyugal blushed.  "Oye. Itna kyun sharma raha hai?" I asked. "Kuch ni. Aisha. Audition nahi ho payega. I can't stay with the Society permanently. Sorry."

"Koi ni. Niu ko bolke aati hoon. She is gonna be very disappointed," she said dramatically and winked. Jyugal blushed and Aisha laughed as she ran off. She looked so hot when she winked. Am I sick? What is with me? 

"Jyugal. Tu Niharika ke naam pe itna kyun sharmata hai?" Hardil asked. "Kuch nahi," he blushed. I raised an eyebrow at my blushing mess of a friend. "Jyugal?" Niharika. She ran up to us. "H-Hi. What's up?" Jyugal said, quietly. "Why are you not auditioning? You dance so well. Last year, you wanted to audition. Ab kya hua?"

"N-Nahi. Kuch ni."

"Then audition!! Please..." she begged Jyugal. He nodded, "Theek hai." Niharika pulled Jyugal to the Society room. The three of us joined him. "Aisha!" He shouted from outside. "Mission Accomplished," Niharika said and handed Jyugal a signup sheet and a pen. Aisha raised an eyebrow at them. So adorable! I looked at her laughing with Niharika and Alisha. She looked so beautiful, making it hard for me to hate her. 

Aisha's POV:

I looked at Darshan. He was staring at me. What? I waved. He quickly looked away. He was staring at me a lot these past few days. Why? A tap on my shoulder broke my train of thought. I turned around. Pratham. "Kya?" I asked, irritably. "Signup sheet chahiye. I am going to audition."

I handed him one and left the room in annoyance. Darshan looked at me with worry (?) in his eyes. I brushed it off and walked to my classroom. What is it with Darshan?
