8 O'clock.
Khushi and Payal went up to Akash's room. Payal was wearing a long purple dress with her hair curled while Khushi was wearing a knee length red show stopping dress. Arnav's jaw dropped.
"You two look lovely." Akash said breaking the silence.
"So let's go." Khushi insisted. She was feeling weird because she saw Arnav drooling over her. That made her chuckle but also made her feel bit strange. She was very happy that Arnav thought she looked amazing but that's what made her feel bad. Why was she happy that Arnav's gaze was locked on her. She promised herself that this "thing" that they shared would not go beyond friendship
"Um actually, Khushi."
"Yeah."
"Karan left a while ago 'cause something important came up. Khushi was used to this but why didn't Karan just tell her that himself. So she got ready for no reason.
"Well, you guys get going. I don't want to be the third wheel." Khushi said to Payal and Akash pushing them out the door.
"Where are you going?" Arnav asked as Khushi who was about to leave. He pulled her back pulling her back.
"Let's see, we're in college. Far from my home. My only accommodation is my dorm. I don't know Arnav?"
"Fine but why don't you hang out for a bit? Our dorm isn't that bad either."
Khushi raised an eyebrow. "Since when is Mr. Arrogant Class Topper being nice to Ms. Rank Two? If you want me to help you with the bio assignment then forget it."
"Since Karan didn't show up and your double date is canceled with Akash and Payal, I thought you wanted company. And that's what I get for trying to be nice." Arnav laughed.
"Fine, I'll be back let me change into my PJs." Arnav felt like telling her "No please, you look really hot in this dress." But he didn't.
Khushi came back.
"What are you watching?" Khushi asked.
"Spongebob."
"Seriously, you're so childish."
"Definitely not my type," she thought.
"Yeah but, I mean it's hilarious. Sometimes childish things are fun." Khushi sat down next to Arnav and they watched 16 back-to-back episodes of Spongebob when eventually Khushi fell asleep on the couch. Arnav was about to carry Khushi back to her dorm dowstairs when..
*Knock Knock*
"Excuse me, Dorm 112? We just need to check you electricity wires really quick. Sorry for coming so late."
"Oh shit! First time I try to be nice, I get on the verge of suspension! Ugh! Ab isko kaha rakhu???" He thought looking at her
*Knock Knock* "I think they are asleep or maybe they have gone out I'll just open the door with my key." Arnav heard them say. Arnav then had to wake Khushi up.
"What! What do I do now! I don't want to be kicked out of the college."
"Well according to curfew, females and males can't be in each other's rooms after 10."
"Crap!" Khushi said. She ran to the balcony and hid behind the swing.
Arnav opened the door.
"Sorry, I was in the bathroom."
"No problem. There were just some wires that got intertwined with your cable wires. We'll just head to balcony and fix it."
"Oh shit!" Arnav thought.
"Wait!" Arnav yelled out.
"Yes?" One of the men said.
"There is a problem with the sink. Could you see to that first."
"Sure."
Arnav gestured Khushi to come out of the balcony. Khushi ran and hid under the covers of Arnav's bed.
He led the men to the balcony the men fixed everything and left.
"Khushi, you can come out now!"
"Whew, this has by far been the most wacked out day in my life." Khushi said smiling. She crept through the hallways and to her dorm. Before going to bed she smiled once again remembering the day's events. That was when she found the note. She opened it.
Dear Khushi,
I don't know how to start this letter. I've never really said sorry before but today, if I didn't, I probably couldn't have lived with myself. I am sorry Khushi for everything. And thanks for doing my project. I really appreciate your concern but I told Professor Renzio that that report was yours. Congratulations Ms. Class Topper. I hope I'm forgiven.
Sincerely,
Arnav.
Khushi smiled. Her eyes started to tear up and she laughed. She stopped the threatening tears and ran up the stair without giving a damn about anything. She opened Arnav's which was still unlocked. Idiot she thought. She saw Arnav was asleep but still gave him a big hug and a small kiss on the cheek.
Arnav who was still awake was confused and happy. He decided to pretend he was asleep.
"You are forgiven." Khushi whispered into his ear. This made Arnav mentally smile. Khushi then pulled up the covers and tucked him in bed. She noticed that the balcony door was open causing cold air to blow into the room. She closed the window.
Khushi sat back down next to Arnav caressing his hair. Arnav's mental smile broke out and you could see it forming on his face. Khushi fell asleep right there with her hand on Arnav's head and her sitting on the floor.
