Part Two:

Aayush's eyes widened. "I wonder what she'll do," he wondered. "She showed me a lot of attitude. Will she show Tina just as much? And if she does, what will Tina do in return? Oh'this will be fun to watch."

Aayush smiled at the idea. He had a feeling Meghna would win against Tina because unlike Tina, Meghna had some smartness in her.

"Okay," he said. "But I'm not in the pranking. You come up with the idea. And you do it. I just get to sit back and watch."

The smile from Tina's face wiped off. "Why?" she whined. "You're like the master of pranks! You have to help us!"

Aayush looked at Tina and smiled. "Oh come on, Tins. I always do something. This time I just want to sit back and get a good laugh."

"Fine!" Tina exclaimed. "You will get a good laugh for sure."

Aayush sat on his motorcycle and watch Tina and her group make a plan or two on how to make this the worst day in life for Meghna.

Meghna walked in the school gate as she saw Aayush looking at her.

"Ugh!" she thought. "This'this'guy'is so annoying! He ends up everywhere I go! Please God, don't put him in any of my classes'"

Before Meghna's thought was even finished, her face was splashed with water.

"Ah!" she screamed as everyone around her laughed.

Tina's friend rushed to her and said, "Oh I am so sorry. I was trying to aim the bottle at my friend but he moved. I am really sorry. I'll clean your glasses for you..."

She grabbed Meghna's glasses before Meghna could even reply and started cleaning them. Meghna wiped the water off her face.

"Here you go," the girl said handing Meghna back her glasses. Meghna looked at the glasses and they were covered with red paint!

"Hey!" she exclaimed. "What did you do to my glasses?"

The girl took a look at Meghna's glasses and said, "Oh'I am so sorry! But at least they match your clothes now!"

Saying this, the girl walked away laughing.

"Ugh!" Meghna whined as she walked to the office. "Thank God they are only reading glasses. Or I'd be blind all day."

Meghna got to the office and asked for her schedule. She looked it over a couple of times and prayed to God that her day would go smoothly. Meghna walked in her Economics class and saw Aayush once again. She walked to the seat farthest from him, which was in the front of the class and had a seat.

Soon, a young boy with big glasses and short pants walked in the class and stood next to Meghna. "This is my seat," he said in an Indian accent.

"Oh," Meghna said getting up. "Sorry."

"It's okay," he replied. "I can sit beside you. No one sits there anyways."

He made his way around Meghna and sat down. "I'm Abhishek," he introduced himself.

Meghna smiled and introduced herself as well. At least he wasn't one of those stupid people that liked to prank her.

Tina walked in the class and saw Meghna sitting beside Abhishek and laughed. As she walked by Meghna, she said, "Nice match for you."

Tina sat behind Meghna and motioned for Aayush to come and sit beside her. Aayush shrugged and walked her to Tina.

"Hey, Tins," he said as he took a seat. "Planning to play more?"

Tina laughed. "Of course," she replied. "Tina doesn't get enough fun doing it once. And I don't think you have had a good enough laugh yet either, baby."

Meghna's eyes narrowed as she heard Aayush and Tina.

"Oh, I see," she wondered. "That paint thing was a prank. Just like I thought. I knew seeing Aayush's face in the morning wouldn't have a good impact on my day. Ugh."

Soon a middle-aged woman wearing an orange sari walked in the class. "Good morning class."

Everyone stopped talking and said, "Good morning, Mrs. Sharma."

Mrs. Sharma soon started her lesson and Meghna stared jotting down notes. She had already learned this more in depth in America. But some of the vocabulary and phrases were different.

"Ouch," Meghna said as she leaned for a piece of paper that had hit her. Just as Meghna leaned for the paper, Abhishek leaned as well and both of their heads clashed together.

Mrs. Sharma cleared her throat and walked in front of Meghna. "What is your name?" she asked.

Meghna stood up and introduced herself. "Meghna Kashyap," she replied.

"I am sorry, Meghna," she started. "I shouldn't get in any of your personal affairs. But if you can please leave your love stories outside the class, it would be greatly appreciated."

The class started laughing loudly and started making 'oh' and 'awn' sounds.

Meghna sighed. She knew there was no point in arguing. "Sorry Mrs. Sharma. But that was not a love story and you will not see anything like that from me again."

Mrs. Sharma smiled. "That's a nice answer. Okay, back to work class. Enough stories."

As Mrs. Sharma proceeded, Meghna turned around and gave Tina and Aayush a nasty look.

Tina leaned towards Aayush and asked, "Kashyap? I heard Sanjay Kashyap, the new owner of Mehta ' well now Kashyap Industries just moved here from America. Is she his daughter? I mean'come on! How many Kashyaps move to Mumbai everyday?"

Aayush shrugged. "I don't know," he said, thinking of what Meghna had said to Mrs. Sharma and how she hadn't complained on anybody.

Tina stopped asking Aayush questions after a while when she finally got the clue that he was in his own world and wasn't listening to a thing she was saying.

After class ended, Aayush walked up to Meghna and said, "We got off on the wrong foot. Sorry for all the trouble my friends caused today. I won't let them bug you anymore. Friends?"

Meghna looked away and sighed. "Mr. Aayush Whatever," she started looking him in the eyes. "I don't need your sympathy. I come to college to learn. I don't need you or anybody in this college to be sympathetic to me. I don't need any friends here. Especially a friend like you, who sees a decent girl in a salwar and start pulling pranks on her. So if you'll please excuse me, I have to go to my next class."

Meghna walked past Aayush without letting him say another word. Aayush put down his hand and smiled.

"We will be friends," he said in his head. "One day or another, it will happen."

Meghna walked in her next class, History and thanked God that Aayush or Tina weren't in her class. At least she would be able to concentrate in this class. Mr. Saxena, the history professor started his lecture as a boy came in the class and announced, "Meghna Kashyap, Mrs. Sharma wants to see you in the caf for a few minutes."

Meghna stood up and asked, "May I go, Sir?"

Mr. Saxena gave his permission as Meghna stood up to walk out of the class to the caf. She saw Mrs. Sharma and pulled up a seat in front of her. Many students, including Aayush and Tina were eager to know what was going on. Meghna could tell this because all of the sudden, all the conversations ended and the caf was close to dead silent.

Mrs. Sharma, ignoring the silence, started, "Meghna, I am the professor in charge of the shows happening in this school. I heard from the principal that you are missing two days next month for a show. Is it true?"

Meghna smiled, confused, and replied, "Yes, but the show isn't in this college. It's a charity show happening outside the school during college time. I am missing two days because one day is for a full dress rehearsal and the next is the actual show."

Mrs. Sharma smiled. "Is it possible for you to perform the same thing for this school?"

"I am sorry," Meghna apologized. "We can not do that. But you can take students from this college that want to see the show there to see it. They must pay, of course. But the students that pay can come with you to see the show. They can be excused from class for a day. It shouldn't be a problem for me to book the tickets for you if you give me the list of students who want to go by next week."

Meghna could see the excitement in Mrs. Sharma's eyes. Nisha had worked so hard for this show. She was going to donate all the money to the Children's Association. Meghna had promised to help. She had gotten a lot of dances ready in America with her team. They were coming to India a week before the show. Everyone would have a few practices, perform and then go back to America. Karan and Rahul were coming too. Meghna was more excited for the show than anybody else.

Mrs. Sharma accepted Meghna's words and said she'd go talk to the principal. The students that had been listening to their conversation started talking about the charity show as Meghna walked back to her History class.

After a long day, Meghna took a rickshaw back home. She made her way to her room and threw all her books on the bed.

"How was your day, honey?" Seema asked.

"Ugh," Meghna whispered. "Good, Mom!" she replied back.

Meghna freshened up and went downstairs in the kitchen where Seema was making tasty Indian food. "Mom," she said. "I'm going to walk down the streets and look around the city."

Seema smiled. "Okay beta. But take your cell phone in case you get lost." She turned around too look at her daughter but Meghna was already gone.

"I hope she took her phone," Seema said worried.

Meghna walked out of the house as she heard a familiar voice coming from the Singhania Mansion. She tilted her head to the right to see who it was and wished she had never done that.

"Aayush!" she exclaimed softly. "Ugh," she said to herself. "What is he doing here?"

Just then Meghna heard Aayush call Suraj "Dad".

"Dad?" Meghna gasped. "No! He can NOT be my neighbour! No way! Ugh!"

Meghna's day was getting worse. Aayush was turning up everywhere. First the trail, then the gym, then college and now ' beside her house.

"Well," she thought. "I know he will find out sometime that I'm his neighbour. But until this moment comes ' I want to live in peace."

She slowly snuck out of the street without getting noticed by Aayush. Meghna went into many shops and bought many clothes, jewellery, shoes, and other accessories. India was the best place to shop.

Meghna turned around from the shoe store and saw Aayush standing there.

"Hi," Aayush said. "What a coincidence. You're shopping for shoes. I'm shopping for shoes. Haha."

Meghna gave Aayush an obvious sarcastic smile and started to talk away.

Aayush started walking after her. "See. I made you smile. I often have that affect on girls. I knew there was something wrong with you when you were ignoring me. But now I see that you are an ordinary girl, too.

Meghna turned around. "That was a sarcastic smile," she pointed out. "I am not one of those stupid girls that would run after you. Like come on, I have better things to do in life."

As she started walking again, Aayush stood there smiling. "I like that," he said to himself. "She is just so'different."

It was starting to get dark. Most shops were closing. Meghna made a turn and saw mangoes on a cart.

"Yum!" she exclaimed. "I should buy these. Everyone in my family loves them."

As Meghna stood at the cart picking out good mangoes, a voice beside her asked, "Can you pack a dozen good mangoes for me?"

Meghna looked up and saw Aayush. Again!

"Ugh!" she snapped. "What's your problem? Can't you leave me alone for even an hour?"

Aayush laughed. "I wasn't asking you. I was asking the dude selling them. And wow! This is like our 5^th meeting today! What a coincidence!"

Meghna dropped the mangoes and corrected, "No! These are NOT coincidences! Stop following me! I mean it! If you do that one more time, I will call the police!"

Aayush laughed. "Relax, baba," he said. "I am going. Take a chill pill. I just wanted to be your friend. No need to get so serious."

Meghna turned around and once more, Aayush stopped her.

"Wait!" he called out. "You forgot your mangoes!"

Without looking back, Meghna said, "I don't want them."

She walked away and Aayush smiled and walked to his motorcycle.

"Not today," Aayush thought. "But Meghna will be my friend one day. She has to give our friendship a chance. After all, I am not that bad of a person. Haha."

Thinking this and about the meeting he had encountered with Meghna, he sped off to a late-night party.

Meghna stood there for a while. "Ugh!" she thought. "This'this Aayush! He is so annoying! What is his problem? If he thinks he has a chance of being my friend, he is wrong. Because I'm not like those stupid girls who always have a crush on stupid idiot guys, like him."

As Meghna was on her way home, she saw a small fountain in the middle of a shopping mall. She was so tired and went to sit down for a while. Soon that while became longer and longer. Meghna looked at little boys playing cricket and little girls skipping rope. After a while, they all left. The mall closed and Meghna noticed how late she saw.

"Uh-oh!" she exclaimed. "I should be home by now."

Meghna got up and looked around. "Which way did I come from?" she asked herself.

Remembering vaguely, Meghna made her way through a school park and past the cricket field. "Umm'that way," she assumed. Soon, Meghna had no idea of where she was and there was not a single soul in sight.

Meghna stood in the middle of tennis courts that were placed in front of a building.

She went inside the building and noticed a party going on. Meghna saw a clerk sitting in the side reading a newspaper.

She politely asked him the directions to her house. The man shook and his head and gestured that he didn't know Hindi. Meghna sighed. The doors to the party were locked and there was no one coming outside who she would be able to ask.

Meghna took her cell phone out and noticed it wasn't charged.

"Ugh!" she grunted. Meghna, along with many shopping bags started back outside. She would find a main road where she would see many cars and ask a nice, decent looking person to give her a ride.

Before Meghna made it to the main road, she saw a motorcycle coming her way. Meghna went and stood in the middle of the road and gestured for it to stop.

Soon the motorcycle stopped and the man took off his helmet.

"You! Again!" she exclaimed looking at Aayush.

Aayush smiled. "I swear, I wasn't following you this time. I was just on my way home from a party. It was boring," he started. "Why are you still out here? Hasn't it been about two hours since you decided to go home?"

Meghna blew her bangs from the front of her eyes and sighed. "I lost my way home," she said slowly. "Can you help me?"

Aayush pretended to clean his ear and gave Meghna a surprised expression. "Pardon me?" he asked. "Can you repeat the question?"

Meghna narrowed her eyes. "Can you please drop me home?"

Aayush smiled and agreed to drop Meghna home.

When Meghna reached the park, she ordered for Aayush to stop.

"What happened?" Aayush asked confused. "The park is where you live? You're homeless?"

"Stop joking," Meghna grumbled. "Why should I tell you where I live? I don't want you stalking me everyday now. You have done that enough times already."

Aayush sighed. "Okay," he said. "If that's what you think of me, I will leave."

He wished Meghna a good night and drove off.

Meghna knew that Aayush wasn't a bad person. But she still didn't want him knowing that she was his neighbour. That would create more than enough problems.

"Where were you?" Seema asked concerned when Meghna returned home. "We were so worried!"

Meghna bit her lip. "Sorry," she said. "I kinda...got lost."

Sanjay and Seema started laughing.

"I told you to take your cell!" Seema said.

"I did!" Meghna argued back. "But it just wasn't charged'" she added softly.

Shilpa walked in laughing. "Smart, sis!" Shilpa exclaimed making Meghna a loser face.

"Shut up!" Meghna exclaimed as she dropped the bags and started chasing Meghna all around.

"What is all this?" Seema asked while Sanjay stopped Meghna from running.

Meghna showed Seema everything she'd bought. After the family had dinner, a man came and dropped off Meghna's suitcase.

"My suitcase!" Meghna exclaimed. "Yes! My licence! My clothes! My life!"

She ran to the bag and carried it upstairs to her room. Meghna took out all her clothes and put them in her closet. After she was done arranging her room, Meghna ran downstairs with her licence and hollered, "I'm going to test drive my car, Dad!"

Sanjay volunteered to go with Meghna and Seema and Shilpa joined in. The family went for a tour of Mumbai in the car. Sanjay and Seema would point out important buildings and landmarks of Mumbai while Shilpa just enjoyed the beauty of the city at night. Meghna, on the other hand, just enjoyed driving her new Porsche around.

The next day, Meghna went for a quick jog. She saw Aayush playing basketball with boys.

"Great," she thought. "Again'my day starts off with seeing his face. Please, God, make my day go smooth today."

Aayush noticed Meghna running near the basketball court and started to walk to her to say hi.

Just then, Nisha and Raj jogged up to Meghna and gave her a hug.

"Hey Meghna!" Raj exclaimed. "I haven't seen you since last year!"

Meghna returned the greeting as the three of them sat down on the grass near them.

Meghna saw Aayush return to play basketball with his friends and smiled. "Thanks God for sending Raj and Nisha Di in at the perfect time!"

"So Meghna," Raj started. "How are Karan and Rahul?"

Meghna thought of the good old days when her, Karan and Rahul were in grade 9 and Raj was in grade 12. They had so much fun hanging out. Meghna would always be with the three of them playing sports, or studying or just chatting. Then Raj graduated and later got married to Meghna's family friend, Nisha. She had been so happy at the wedding. Two of the most important people in her life were getting married.

"Meghna!" Nisha exclaimed. "Where are you!?"

Meghna snapped out of her thoughts and apologized, "Sorry. I was thinking of high school."

Raj laughed and sighed. "Those were the days."

The three of them got lost chatting about the past and soon it was time to go to college for Meghna. Meghna jogged back to her house and got changed into black skinny jeans, a white tank top, a black shrug and black heels. She put on her favourite pair of sunglasses and walked out with her black Sequoia Paris bag.

As she walked out of her room, Shilpa whistled.

"That's what the guys are going to do," she commented.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Meghna asked. "And was that a compliment?"

Shilpa laughed. "First answer: I have some stomach flu so Mom won't let me go. And second answer: that was a compliment because you do look hot."

Meghna grinned and hugged her sister. "It will look even hotter with my car, baby! And I hope you get better soon."

Meghna started down the stairs in a rush and bumped into Aayush.

Aayush saw Meghna and kept staring at her. The day before, she had been dressed so traditionally and today'she looked like she was the owner of this mansion!

Seema walked in the room and smiled. "Aayush, that's my older daughter, Meghna. I believe she is in your college."

Aayush was awestruck. Meghna was his neighbour!

Meghna gave Aayush an evil look then walked away.

Aayush said bye to Seema and followed Meghna out.

"You're my neighbour!?" he asked, not believing what he had just found out.

Meghna turned around and yelled. "Yes. Now stop bugging me!"

Aayush laughed and got his bike ready for college. He was in a partying mood today.

"Wow," he thought. "Such amazing news in the morning and such amazing faces in the morning. Thanks God!"

great update!

hey guys. i am half way done the next part...but i just want you to check out the characters on pg.1...so tell me what you think of them 😊

Part Three:

Meghna reached college and entered in the parking lot and saw everyone staring at her car.

"Holy!" Tina exclaimed. "Who is that? And damn that's a hot car!"

Meghna smiled at Tina's expression and parked the car. She got out and locked the car. When Meghna turned around, she saw at least fifty pairs of eyes facing her including Tina and her gang's.

Meghna smiled to herself and walked by them.

"Holy!" Tina thought with her mouth wide open. "What happened to Meghna overnight?"

"Tina," Dolly, one of her friends started. "Was that'Meghna? Meghna Kashyap? The one we pranked yesterday?"

"Yes," answered Aayush. "That was Meghna Kashyap, the daughter of Sanjay Kashyap, the CEO of Kashyap Industries. She'is my new neighbour."

"No'way'" Tina managed to breathe out. "What was with her clothes yesterday?"

Aayush laughed. "Her suitcase ended up in the wrong plane," he explained. "Her mom told me this morning."

Tina finally snapped out of the shock and said, "I should apologize to her."

Meghna walked past the hallways of the college as many pairs of eyes were still glaring at her. A couple of shameless boys even whistled like Shilpa had said. But when Meghna shot them an evil look, they stopped.

"Excuse me," Meghna heard a familiar voice say.

She turned around and saw Tina hurrying to her.

"Not her again," Meghna said rolling her eyes.

"I am sorry about yesterday," Tina apologized with a grin. "We got started on the wrong foot. How about we start over? Friends?"

Meghna raised her eyebrows and looked at the hand Tina had pulled forward. Everybody in the hallway had stopped and was watching.

Meghna chuckled sarcastically and looked at Tina.

"Friends?" she asked. "With you?"

Meghna let out another small laugh and said, "No. I don't think so."

Saying this she walked away to her first class.

A couple of people stared with surprise, congratulating Meghna in their heads for talking against Tina. many people let out laughs as Tina narrowed her eyes and shouted, "Don't you guys have class?"

Aayush laughed so hard at the scene. He knew Tina had been so sure that Meghna would want to be her friend. But she didn't know Meghna as well as he did. She wasn't a girl that needed anyone's support or sympathy. Tina hadn't told anybody to go when she asked because she wanted the college to think this would be the best friendship created in the college. But when she had gotten insulted, she felt angry yet helpless.

"Who does Tina think I am?" Meghna said to herself. "She wants to be my friend for what I'm wearing and driving? What a loser!"

Lost in her thoughts, Meghna bumped into a girl wearing black, baggy pants and a yellow tank top.

"Sorry!" she exclaimed helping to pick up her books.

"It's okay," the girl replied looking at Meghna curiously. "By the way, do you know who Aayush is?"

Meghna rolled her eyes. "No I don't and I wouldn't want to if I were you."

The girl grinned and replied, "I like you already."

Looking at Meghna's confused look, she explained herself. "I am in your Economics class and I saw what Aayush and Tina did to you. I was going to introduce myself yesterday'but then I saw how mad you were while talking to Aayush. So I thought I could talk to you when you were a bit calmer. And today I saw how you told Tina no. That was amazing!"

Meghna smiled. "I swear. Some people need to chill. They think that the whole world revolves around them. Anyways, we should get to Economics."

The two girls walked to Economics asking each other questions and getting to know each other better.

Tina was trying a lot to get Meghna's attention so Meghna would be her friend. Meghna ignored Tina every time.

"Who does she think she is?" Tina asked angrily. "She just came and took my spot in school! Ugh!"

Dolly bit her lip and said, "No darling, no one in this school can take Tina's position."

Tina smiled and agreed. "You are right. There is no girl out there like Tina. She is one of the kind. And why am I worrying about Meghna? She doesn't have any friends. And she hated Aayush. That means she isn't even close to being in my way. I don't have to worry about this girl unless her and Aayush get a little too friendly with each other."

"Mr. Saxena," Meghna asked the man. "Ms. Sharma told me to meet her for five minutes. May I be excused?"

After Mr. Saxena gave her the permission to go, Meghna made her way down to the college canteen.

"Hello, Mrs. Sharma," she greeted.

Mrs. Sharma looked up and replied, "Good morning, Meghna."

Once again, Meghna looked around and saw everyone starring at her. Once again, everyone had stopped talking and was listening to their conversation. Mrs. Sharma ignored this and continued talking. "Meghna, I asked the principal and some other teachers about the concert and they don't mind the idea of our school participating. I was thinking that we should have a sign up sheet for those people that want to enter the competition."

Meghna smiled. "Okay, Mrs. Sharma," she said. "You can announce it in the school about signing up for a role. But once they sign up, the can not back out. They must participate whether they are ready or not. And I think we should show them what kind of dances we are looking for. I have a couple of CDs from some previous competitions we have won. If you want, I can bring those in for the meeting."

After finishing the discussion with Mrs. Sharma, Meghna returned to the class. At the end of the day, Meghna, along with Mrs. Sharma makes an announcement about the meeting for the competition.

"This competition is next month. This means'you have a month to choreograph the dance and polish every bit of it. You must choose your own groups. If you sign the sheet, you must dance. You can not back away at the last second. If your dance isn't completed, you still have to perform. If you need any help choreographing the dance, you can ask me to help you. But make sure you tell me ahead of time so I can keep that time free."

After Meghna finished explaining the details, she showed a few dance videos of her in which she had won. She heard the crowd of students say cools and wows and smiled.

At the end, she had a couple of groups signed up for the competition and many students asking where they can buy the tickets.

"Of course the money is going to charity," she added. "And the winners probably just get a trophy. So if you want to join, don't have any high expectations besides good dancing."

That night, Meghna goes home extremely tired. It had only been her second day of school and she had so many responsibilities!

Meghna changed into a black tank top and short beige shorts and walked outside in her balcony. She closed her eyes and felt the breeze flow through her hair. When she opened her eyes, she was Aayush standing in front of her balcony in the balcony in the Singhania Mansion.

Meghna's eyes widened and her mouth opened. "No!!" she screamed out of irritation! "Now in front of my room too!"

Aayush saw Meghna's expression and started laughing. Of course, unlike Meghna, he was happy about this surprise.

"Sorry!" he yelled back as Meghna walked back in her room and slammed the door.

"Wow," Aayush says to himself. "This is one cool girl. I mean'she is so different! All girls love me. She hates me. I mean'my charm works on everyone besides her! I have to figure out why."

Aayush smiled and walked in his room after he heard his mom yell, "Aayush! Phone! It's Tina!"

"Hello," he said, not taking his eyes off Meghna's balcony.

"Aayush," he heard a frustrated voice say from the other side. "We were having a date today! How could you forget!? You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago!"

Aayush rolled his eyes. "First of all," he started. "It's not a date. We were supposed to be working on a project, which I figured we won't end up doing. So I didn't bother to come."

Tina murmured something which Aayush didn't catch. "Pardon me?" he asked.

"I said'that Mrs. Sharma assigned Meghna to join our group as well," Tina said a bit louder.

"MEGHNA?" Aayush shouted excited. "Really?"

"Ouch! Why are you yelling? Anyways'I was thinking'that maybe we can get Meghna to do the whole project and we can chill and relax."

"Wait'does she know? Because she never mentioned this to me."

"Yea, she knows. But she walked out of the room pretending that she didn't hear anything."

Aayush smiled and made up an excuse that his mom was calling for dinner and hang up the phone.

"Meghna!" Seema called knocking on her door.

Meghna put her dairy down and opened the door. "Wha ' ."

She suddenly stopped as she saw Aayush come out from behind her mom. "You!" she exclaimed.

Seema smiled. "You never told me that Aayush was your partner in you Economics project. You didn't even tell me you got a project."

Meghna rolled her eyes. "Mom'if I tell you everything that happens in my life'nothing new will happen because I'll be telling you something 24/7!"

Seema sighed. "Well'whatever. I don't want to hear any complaints. Start your project now. And try to finish soon. It's due in two days."

Meghna looked at Aayush and gave him an evil look. "Fine!" she said sarcastically. "I WON'T complain'to you."

Aayush laughed. "Its okay, Aunty. I can handle her."

Seema laughed. "That's a relief," she replied turning around.

Aayush walked in Meghna's room and closed the door.

Meghna groaned and said, "Let's finish this fast."

"Why didn't you tell me that you were my partner?" Aayush asked curious.

Meghna raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"

"You can't answer a question with a question."

"Ugh! You are so annoying! Just help me finish this thing. I already did half of it!"

Aayush looked at the notes Meghna had made for the project and breathed out, "Wow."

"You did this all by yourself?" he asked. "You could have asked me'I'd have helped."

Meghna snickered and said, "You? Help? In school work? I don't think so. And there is no way I want to fail."

As Aayush was about to reply, Meghna's cell phone rang.

Meghna ran to the table where it was placed and grinned as she picked it up.

"Hello?" she answered. "Hey, love!"

Aayush looked at Meghna confused and wondered if Meghna was talking to her boyfriend. Whatever, he thought. She can talk to whoever she wants me. What's it to me?

"When are you coming!?" she asked. "Tell me you're at the airport right now. I swear. It sounds like the airport."

Aayush watched her listen to the reply for a few seconds until she replied, "Oh'I wish you came now. I miss you so much."

Aayush got up, mad, and shouted. "Meghna, I'm here to work on the project. I have parties to attend to you know. In fact, I'm supposed to be on a date right now. Can you hurry up?"

Meghna jumped slightly at the surprise as she heard the voice in the other end of the line say, "I'll call you back."

She hung up the phone, furious, and yelled back. "What's your problem? What's it to you if I talk to my boyfriend? If you were interested in doing this project, you would have been listening in class to what the teacher was saying! And you would have started the project a week ago'when you got it!"

Aayush looked away without replying back. He knew it was his fault. Speechless of what to say, Aayush took Meghna's notes and turned to leave.

"I'll finish the rest of the project," he said softly.

Meghna stopped Aayush and said, "Do the project on your own with Tina. Give me back my notes. There is no way I'm failing because of you."

She snatched back her notes and shut the door.

Aayush slowly walked back to his house wondering what had happened to him. I should apologize to her, he thought. Aayush stopped and considered going back but then planned to do it the next day in college.

Meghna was furious at his reaction. What did he think of himself? He was no king. Nor did he have any space in her life. Why was he trying so hard to be friends with her? She knew many guys like Aayush. Her friends, Karan and Rahul were somewhat like that too. But they, unlike Aayush, knew when to stop.

The next day, Meghna woke up early and started her project. She finished majority of it and then drove straight to the gym instead of jogging past the basketball courts. She was in no mood to see Aayush's face in the morning.

"Hi, Di!" she exclaimed hugging Nisha.

Nisha returned the hug and asked, "When is Karan coming? I need you to start rehearsing!"

"Calm down, Di'Karan and Rahul are both coming after two weeks. They are doctors'remember? They can't take many holidays. Besides, I told you yesterday'even if we don't perform'there are many students from my college that are ready."

Nisha laughed. "I know. I know. But it's not the same without you guys dancing. When you both dance'that's when the party really starts! By the way'I'm still confused about why you're going to college still. If you're supposed to be an intern with Karan and Rahul in Atlanta'why do you have to go to college here?"

Meghna laughed. "I swear'me and Raj have explained this to you like five times so far."

Nisha blushed. "Sorry. I forget."

"If you still remember'that I actually skipped a year in school'and I'm actually a year ahead. So in India, they won't let me work in a hospital because I don't have any credits taken in India. So this is why I have to take some credits again in India. And besides'I'm too young to work. Haha'"

I just wanted to add that I couldnt picture Mohit Sehgal with Neha Bamb...so I changed Aayush to be Iqbal Khan.
