"Sanyu!"

"Sanyu.. For the last time, you'll be late!"

"Sanyukta Aggrawal!"

For the past five minutes, Kaustuki had been struggling to wake Sanyukta up - but it wasn't her fault either. After being up until 6 AM, you don't simply expect one to wake up so early.

But as soon as Sanyukta heard her properly, she jumped awake. She remembered. Last night. Cupid. Eros. Randhir.

It was all a dream.

She felt something under her, so she asked Kaustuki to leave and got up only to find another letter on her bed.

It wasn't a dream after all.

Another letter, another problem. She chose to ignore it instead, and threw it out of the window.

Unfortunately, it hit right on Randhir's head - destiny's really after them, isn't it?

"What the?" Randhir said, glaring at Sanyukta as he picked the paper up from the ground.

"The.. Cupid thing," she said, trying to make sense. She really didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of him.

"I thought it was.. a dream? Seriously?" he looked confused, with his eyes wide and mouth agape.

He unfolded the letter, and it read..

Morning. Annoyed? Sucks to be you.

Prom is coming soon. What does that mean? You'll have to join.

But the real question is, why is F.I.T.E. having prom? They never do. But hey, it's Eros. Don't take me for a beginner, I've been doing this for ages.

Surprise for you at the back.

He looked back, and found the picture of them in the bus, with her head on his shoulder, and hid it immediately.

"What's in there?" Sanyukta asked innocently.

"Nothing. Shut up and get ready," he said, blood rushing to his cheeks. He threw it away and carried on.

"All the Dream Team members are to assemble in the lab in ten minutes for important announcements," Vardhaan sir announced, and everyone hurried to the lab as soon as they could -- no one liked Vardhaan sir's wrath.

Everyone soon reached the lab, hopefully Vardhaan still wasn't there. Randhir and Sanyukta immediately looked at each other as they arrived, nodding before going to their tables.

"Okay guys," Vardhaan entered while speaking. "I'm gonna make this quick. As you know, Prom is taking place for the first time in F.I.T.E., due to a certain sponsor's request. The Dream Team is required to participate in the Prom, for whatsoever reason the sponsors don't want us to know. You all need partners, and as I know that you don't get along well, I'll be making those. Teams are - Parth and Vidushi, Randhir and Sanyukta, Jignesh and Kaustuki. Saahil will not be here due to some family problems, have I made myself clear?"

Everyone nodded, except for Sanyukta. "Is there a problem, Sanyukta?" Vardhaan questioned.

"Sir, who are these 'sponsors'?" she asked, hopefully wanting to actually meet this Eros person, who seemed to be too interested in her life, and Randhir's.

"We are not meant to disclose that, that's it, get back to your work," he said and drifted off.

Randhir went up to Sanyukta and joined her on the table; shocking everyone in the room except her.
"What do we do about this?"

"What can we do about this? Eros is really after us, so it's better if we just get this over with.. Right?" she asked, more to herself than to Randhir.

He nodded, "for once, I agree Farzi."

And that was just the bloody start.

. . . . . . .

"What. Should. I. Wear?" Sanyukta groaned again, flashing another teal dress to Kaustuki. They had been in the mall for the past two hours, with Sanyukta searching for the perfect dress and Kaustuki dragging along with her as she had no other choice.

"Sanyu.. It's just Prom. Plus, with Randhir - whom you already hate, come on, just pick anything!" Kaustuki whined. Sanyukta knew she shouldn't try so hard, but for some very reason, she wanted to look presentable to Randhir.

They went to another shop, which looked pretty fancy from far. There had to be something here.

"This is it! The perfect dress!" Sanyukta exclaimed as Kaustuki turned to her and stared, wide eyed.

"It's.. Beautiful Sanyu."

It indeed was. It was a black and teal knee-length dress, the skirt teal and the torso black, with a cute yet simple studded belt, which complimented her skin in the best of ways.

"I'm taking it," Sanyukta grinned, paid the cashier and went back to the hostel, satisfied with herself.

770 words. You have to give me credit; I never write so long.

Prom in the next chapter (I couldn't just go out showing the prom here without explanations, that'd be plain weird.)

Anyway, for those of you wondering what Sanyukta's dress looks like, wait for the next chapter (wink wink nudge nudge)

Special dedication to the best commenter. :P
Thank you so much for the feedback, though. :) It makes me happ-ieee.

This chapter might have been a lil different from others btw. Maybe cause I didn't include much of Eros in it ;) xD

For PMs, buddy me.

Love, Lil. x
