Hello everyone! I'm back with an update...Too soon, right?! You can't believe it, right? But I did it! š So here's it:
Rey was thankful he hadn't seen Taani after the boys meeting in the computer room, she had to skip classes because of some GS work, otherwise he would have had to avoid her or fight with her infront of everyone and that would have been hard to explain later. So yeah, he was relieved but his relief was short lived because he saw her sitting with the girls as soon as he entered the canteen and now he couldn't even make up an excuse because the boys had already started walking in their direction, tagging him along.
Swayam whispered to all of them, "Taani's here. Keep an eye on her and look for clues but don't make it obvious."
Vicky was staring at Taani in full on spy mode, Swayam glared at him and repeated, "I said don't make it obvious, Vicky"
Vicky snapped out of his trance and nodded as they approached the girls.
Boys: Hey Girls!
Taani looked up on hearing the boys, her face brightening but then her eyes shifted to Rey who was not meeting her gaze and her face fell.
"Oh No! He's still mad at me" she thought.
She greeted the boys and said to them, "I was just going to get a drink, you guys want anything?"
Vicky: Mere liye Appy Fizz!
Nil: Cold drink for me!
Swayam: Mere liye ek coffee Taani plz!
Taani: Hmm...And you Rey?
She looked at him hopefully. His eyes met hers for a moment but he immediately looked away muttering, "Coffee for me too!"
Taani sighed and went to get the drinks.
She returned after a while and handed Vicky,Nil, Swayam their drinks then moved to Rey. She kept his coffee in front of him. Rey stared at it in awe. She had written a "Sorry" on it and drawn a cute smiley. He looked up at her and saw her grinning at him as she mouthed another, "Sorry".
He was about to smile back but then he noticed Vicky and Nil looking at Taani out of the corner of their eye. So, he turned his gaze from Taani to the coffee, grabbed a spoon and stirred it vigrously with a heavy heart until the "Sorry" and the smiley disappeared. He didn't even have to look at Taani to know her reaction.
Taani stared at him, her jaw dropping. She quickly shut it and walked away from him, feeling dejected and angry. She sat back in her seat, gloomily as the conversation flared around her, hardly contributing to it while Rey kept sneaking glances at her anxiously but she kept her gaze on a painting as if it was the most fascinating thing ever.
Rey sighed and thought, "I have to tell her...tell her the true reason for avoiding her as soon as possible or this is going to ruin our relationship"
***********************************
Taani stared at her book blankly and kept repeating in her head, "I will not look at him, I will not look at him..."
They were sitting in class, she was sitting next to Neha and Rey was sitting in the adjacent row next to Nilesh.
After she got over what he did in the canteen, she had tried harder to manaofy him but he kept avoiding her and now she was really mad.
They usually sneaked glances at each other and shared secret smiles during classes and she could feel him looking at her now but she sweared she would avoid him too, how much ever looked at her.
Rey groaned in frustration and gave up his plan to send her some secret silent message in the pretense of spying on her because Taani was now avoiding him. He sat back in his seat and glanced at Swayam behind. "No Clues" he mouthed.
Swayam nodded and smiled at him gratefully.
"Wow" Rey thought. "My Girlfriend's Brother is grateful to me for spying on his sister to find out who the Boyfriend is...Twisted much! But ab kya karoon, kya karoon..."
The bell rang just as he was thinking this.
Everyone slipped out of their places and started chatting. Rey found his opportunity to slip out of the class and quickly text Taani.
Taani was still inside the class smiling to something Neha was saying half heartedly when she heard her phone beep indicating a new message. She took it out from her bag and read it, "Meet me in the Fire Exit plz, its really important"
Neha stopped talking midway and said, "Why you wanting to meet me in fire exit?"
She said it loud enough to attract Vicky's attention who was on his spy duty then. He looked at Taani, suspiciously and when she blushed in embarassment, stuttering, it just intensified his suspicion.
Taani: Woh...Woh Neha, actually I wasn't talking to you. Woh fire exit mein kuch kam chal raha hai...You know GS and all
She let out a nervous laugh and Neha nodded in comprehension.
"Ho na Ho yeh zaroor apne boyfriend se milne ja rahi hai" Vicky thought.
Taani: Have to go...Okay! Bye!
She quickly sneaked out of the classroom, breathing a sigh of relief. She wondered whether she should go to meet Rey or not. He said it was really important but she was angry at him and she was going to avoid him now. She was convincing herself to not go when her phone beeped again. She checked the message. It was from Rey and all it said was "Pleaseee..."
She felt herself melting, "Who am I kidding?! I'm so going"
***********************************
Rey stared at his phone anxiously, waiting for a response. A message popped up and he quickly checked it, half scared. "F9, i'm cumin" it said.
He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the washroom towards the fire exit, grinning, only to bump into someone.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed, stumbling a little, "Dekh ke nahi chal sakte kya?"
He looked at the person he had bumped into and saw Swayam and the boys.
Rey: Oh! Tum log!
Swayam: Dude, Great tu mil gaya! We were all just heading to the Fire Exit!
"What?" Rey exclaimed, his jaw dropping and eyes popping out.
They looked at him, weirdly and Rey quickly shut his mouth and blushed.
Vicky: Haan, Taani is going to meet her boyfriend there.
"Really?" Rey asks, managing to sound really really surprised, "How do you all know that?"
Vicky told him his reasons for believing so and everyone else agreed.
Swayam listened to them impatiently and said, "Guys can we plz go now? We can't waste time...Agar woh chala gaya toh"
"Pehle use jaane toh do" Rey muttered under his breath.
Swayam looked at him, "What?"
Rey: Nothing!
Vicky: Lets Go!
The boys started going towards the fire exit and Rey followed them gloomily.
***********************************
In the fire exit, Taani looked at her watch impatiently and groaned in frustration. Outside, Swayam did the same.
"God! Where the hell is this guy? Its been freaking 10 minutes." he said, angrily.
Vicky,Nil,Bharat,Amar agreed, cursing the guy and Rey looked at them, majorly pissed now. It took all of his self-restraint not to punch them all then and there. Taani was waiting for him and he was right there but he couldn't go to her.
Taani waits for another five minutes, then gets up angrily and starts pacing the stairs, "Enough is Enough! Samajhte kya hai apne aap ko, pehle subah se avoid karte hain phir please please karke yahaan bulate hain aur khud nahi aate!"
Rey: Damn!
Swayam: What a Jerk!
Rey clenches his fists and glares at Swayam.
Taani: I'm so going to kill him!
She took her phone out from her bag as the boys continued peeping at her and said, "Abhi phone karke batati hoon"
Rey let out a gasp but the boys were too excited to notice it.
Nilesh: Woah! Now we can hopefully get the name of the guy!
Bharat: Phir uski band bajayenge.
Rey stared numbly at the phone in his hand as Taani dialed his number and put the phone to her ear angrily. Now only a miracle could save him...He prayed for it to happen...
