Shilpa took a sip of her drink, bobbing her head to the music that was playing in the background. She was sitting at the club with all of her friends but Sid. She tried not to think about where he was but she couldn't help it.
She glanced at the entrance to the club. "He'll be here. Why are you being so anxious?" Nisha asked Shilpa.
"Uh..nothing," she quickly took a sip of her drink, averting her eyes.
"Sid! You're here!" Rahul said, doing a little handshake with Sid and giving him a hug. Shilpa looked up excitedly.
Sid sat down next to Shilpa. "Hey, Shilpa."
"Hi, Sid," Shilpa smiled.
The two were gazing at each other when Simran came up to the both of them. The others had left to get some drinks from the bar. They were seated at one corner of the club in a round, booth-like, table. "Guys, what should I do? I threw this party but what can I do now to make Rahul notice me?"
Shilpa looked away from Sid abruptly. "Have fun! That's all. Go on the dance floor and dance! Have a couple of drinks. Just enjoy and show him you know how to have fun."
Simran nodded, looking towards the bar, at Rahul. "Okay, I'll do that." And she left.
"You know what, I think I'm going to get a drink," Sid said, getting up.
Shilpa glanced down at her empy glass. "Same here."

Rahul watched as the gang talked to each other, laughing and drinking. These guys are so boring. "Guys, let's play truth or dare, without the truth."
"Without the truth? So just dare each other stuff?" Nisha asked.
"Yeah. I'll start. Vineet, i dare you too 'accidentally' spill your drink all over that girl over there," Rahul pointed to a pretty girl, wearing a very short dress, on the dance floor.
Vineet, taking a little sip of his drink, walked towards the girl. She was busy dancing, and didn't notice Vineet walk by her at all. He slyly tipped his drink over her head and walked back quickly, a triumphant smile on his face.
"Not bad," Sid said, smirking.
"Well, that was done well. Now what?" Shilpa asked.
Rahul thought. "How about...you three girls take 3 shots each, and dance. i've never seen you guys do both."
"Okay," Nisha and Shilpa said. Simran looked a little nervous, as she had never even had one shot in her life, let alone 3, but she nodded.
The three girl took their shots really quickly. "To the dance floor!" Shilpa yelled, and she, Simran, and Nisha ran to the dance floor dancing like anything.
It was as if everything had gone into slow motion as Sid watched Shilpa dancing on the dance floor. Watching her laughing and jumping up down brought a smile to his face.
Rahul looked at the three, but his gaze stopped on Simran. He watched as she danced and laughed. he'd never seen that way before. He'd always seen her as this quiet, simple girl who could laugh at the smallest things. But this..was different.
Vineet just watched, not thinking much. He kept sipping his drink, but he stared at Nisha. He just looked at her like never before.
The three boys looked away quickly when everyone suddenly yelled, "Happy New Year!"
Sid looked at the other boys. "Happy New Year, guys."
"Happy New Year."

"Come on, Shilpa, get in the car," Sid said from the drivers side.
"No! I like it out here!" Shilpa said, running around in circles.
"Shilpa, you have to go home. Now get in the car," Sid said sternly.
"No!"
"Shilpa, don't make me get out of the car."
"I. Don't. Want. To. Get. In. The . Car!"
Sid sighed adn got out of the car. He grabbed the very drunk Shilpa around the waist as Shilpa started yelling. He shoved her into the car and tied the seat belt aorund her. Shilpa pouted.
Sid started driving. "Stop pouting."
"I wanted to stay outside."
They reached Shilpa's house, and Sid led Shilpa out of the car. He still held her around the waist as he took her to his room. "Now go to bed, okay? You need to sleep this off."
'No! Sid, don't leave!" Shilp yelled, pulling sid back as he was leaving, the force making them both fall on the bed, Sid on top of Shilpa.
Shilpa smiled up at Sid as Sid looked down at her. "You're very cute, you know, that?" She laughed a little and then suddenly fell asleep.
Sid smiled and got up from the bed, slowly moving Shilpa's hand off his arm. He walked to the door, lookg back at her. "Good night, Shilpa." He switched the light and went home.

"Will those two shut up? I blame you," Vineet said to Rahul as he drove him, Nisha, and Simran home. "You just had to dare them to have 3 shots? Now they won't shut up their stupid mouthes!"
"Hey!" Nisha said from the back, coming behind Vineet's seat. "Your colone smells really nice." She sniffed him.
Vineet looked at Nisha all creeped out and then at Rahul. "Yupp, I blame you."
Rahul just rolled his eyes as they reached Simran and Nisha's house (they're neighbors). "I'll take in Simmy, you take in Nisha."
Rahul took Simran's hand and walked her to her door.
"Thanks, Rahul, you little sweetie-pie," Simran said drunkly, ruffling Rahul's hair.
He smiled. "Good night, Simmy." He opened the door using her keys which he had found in her purse and she went inside.
He shaked his head, smiling after she went in. Crazy girl.

"Nisha, just get in your house," Vineet said, annoyed after opening Nisha's front door.
"Not without a hug!" she said, widening her arms.
"No," he said sternly, pushing her arms away and moving to the other side.
"Please? I'm not going anywhere until you do."
Vineet sighed. "Fine." He gave her a swift hug and slightly pushed her into the house, closing the door. He exhaled deeply and walked away.

So, I know the dancing scene was a little cheesy, but then again, Indian serials are always cheesy right? 😆 Seriously. it looks better visually. But I hope you all enjoyed it 😊
