Sharon still could not get over the fact that he had proposed to her so soon, she looked at him curiously to see if his feelings for her were real. He looked back at her intently, his eyes glowing softly with the love he withheld. She often had to turn away though when they had eye contact because she felt... weird. Yes that was the word. Weird. Her heart beat faster, her cheeks darkened and she felt lost when she looked into his eyes. There was something in them that were inviting yet uninviting. She saw something in them. It had been quite sometime since the gang had done anything with dance, given their exams were approaching, so she hadn't gotten the opportunity to see him dance but she was curious though, as to whether he was really as good as the boys told them.
Well it so happened that they had to sit together for their exams, next to each other. It was difficult for her, she felt the same weird feeling everytime he was close. The proximity made it difficult for her to concentrate, she often found herself wondering what would it be like to touch his smooth hair, or his handsome face. Once it happened, they sat together as usual for their last exam and their knees happened to brush against each others. What she felt in that momentary touch of skin was different, it felt incredibly different. The skin which had brushed against his, had a thousand volt electric voltage shot across it, it made that part feel out of place. Of course the weird feeling had also accompanied it. She looked up in shock at him, and he looked back a bit embarrassed, he mouthed a sorry immediately with pleading eyes, which anyone would have found hard to resist. She immediately realized what he was thinking and smiled at him and shrugged it off. They continued their exam, the only difference that she couldn't stop thinking about the brush.
Simmi eventually figured out that something was cooking in Sharon's heart, and tried to wheedle the information out. When she wouldn't tell, she swore to herself that she will find out by hook or by crook. She started observing sharon, while the guys especially Rey observed Swayam. With Swayam it was obvious, he liked Sharon. Secret glances at her during class, complimenting her indirectly, seeming lost in his own world, all were signs of him in love with someone, the only thing was the boys didn't know who the someone was.
The messages still continued though, Swayam relentlessly sent her messages everyday, hoping one day she would reply. Simmi knew this part of it because she had pestered her into disclosing it. On one of those days when a person is pissed off for some reason Swayam asked her to reply. "R u alive? REPLY" the message read. Sharon took sometime to overcome the irritation and finally typed "Yes I'm alive what do you want?" which instantly made Swayam's day better. He smiled for the first time that day, pumping his fist, and jumping around crowing with victory. So many days of waiting and sweet ending at last! He returned back to his laptop and excitedly typed in "Wassup?" to which she replied nothing much and they chatted for quite a bit about random stuff.
The next day in college Swayam couldn't wait to meet Sharon. He kept grinning the entire morning and confided in rey about the previous evenings happenings. Rey congratulated him and they went to class. Sharon entered the class smiling. She saw Swayam sitting with Rey and looked at him and gave him a small smile. Karan sir entered the class for his lecture during which he was interrupted by the peon asking for the dance team. The gang left to see the VP and on the way Swayam kept looking at Sharon. She felt his eyes on her but didn't respond to it. "Ah there you all are, well I've good news for you all" the VP announced as the gang entered his office. The looked at him waiting. "Good news ye hai ki, humare college mein dance fest ho raha hai aur as the cultural team, its your responsibility to make it a success" he said and paused. "Woah, seriously?" Rey gasped, while the rest of the gang cheered and hi fied each other. "Yes, aur mein chahtha hoon ki ye ek success bane, I want the GS AGS and the Cs to have a meeting asap" he said looking at rey Taani and Sharon. "Umm sir, mujhe ek assistant chahiye...meine bataya na?" sharon said. "Oh yes and that, the new ACS is Swayam, wo uska previous college mein CS tha, aur all rounder bhi hai so he's perfect for the post" the VP said. Though she was happy she put on mask of aghast and looked at Swayam while he returned it back with a heart winning smile. His eyes glowed even brighter today, it looked more intense she felt as she gazed into his eyes, lost momentarily. It wasn't until the boys started congratulating Swayam that she looked away. Simmi who noticed all this decide it was time to spend some girl time with sharon where they could talk about stuff heart to heart.
