Sharon was sitting on her bed all dressed in her white sleeveless Skirt top ending right above her knee. She was feeling anxious as the thought of facing Swayam crossed her mind. She stood in front of mirror and started checking herself just to pass time. She didn't what to gauge of Swayam's last day reaction after her confession or no reaction at all which could be the better reaction. She knew one thing surely that he was shocked out of his wits and he even in that shocked reaction of what she saw in a moment before running out of the canteen he managed to look so damn cute. . . He just manage to look cute all the time . . . even in his anger. Suddenly she felt a pain and she realized it's her jaws that her hurting as she has been smiling a bit too widely thinking about Swayam. As she came back from her dream world her tension began building inside her again. Her head started analyzing all the possibilities of what can happen.
Maybe he will yes or maybe he will say no'--- the thought didn't give much hope to her instead it increased the panic attack in her belly.
He will say a Clear No'---- Oh No! This is not good! He can't say no. . .The thought of him rejecting her horrified her even in imaginations so she dismissed the thought at once.
He will say a Yes'------ Really????? Omg!!!! Swayam and Sharon together. Her heart fluttered in happiness at the thought but her mind adjusted its spectacle to his narrowed eyes. . .Telling her that it didn't really agree with her heart. Sharon rolled her eyes to the judgment his mind was signaling caressing her heart.
He may need time to make a decision'--- Yeah this thought satisfied her mind though it depressed her heart but it agreed with her mind for once. This must be so sudden for him he may need time to think about the relationship but he will think about her and THEM. Ah! The thought of him thinking about her made her happy and she smiled excitedly.
The thought gave her hope and her conscience finally decided to function again clearly and she decided to head for the college and face her Big Day.
*************
As Sharon entered the college gate, all eyes turned towards her and hush talks started among crowds. This was usual for Sharon but she knew these eyes weren't staring her today because she looked breathtaking but because she had fallen for a weakling being a dazzler herself and has confessed it publically. Sharon ignored them and went to the classroom. Her eyes scanned the room for Swayam but he was nowhere. She sighed a breath of relief.
"Thank God! He isn't here! Phewww. . ."Sharon mumbled to herself.
"But we are" Some voices came from behind. She sighed and looked upwards mumbling a small prayer and turned around to face another mountain for the day, and there they were, the blazing eyes of Dazzlers.
"What the f. . ." Nilesh shouted.
"What did you do Sharon?" Rinni said shocked.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Vicky said.
"Swayam? Out of all the guys in the world you love Swayam?" Rey uttered still not over with the shock.
"Exactly!!!!Just not possible!!!" Simmi said.
"Sharon just say this was all a plan or prank or something!" Vicky said looking at her expectantly.
Everyone pounced on her at once and closed her ears.
"Guyyysss. . ." She shouted at the top of her voice and everyone became quiet.
"Guys. . .There is nothing wrong with me. I am fine and. . .and its no prank or plan! What you all heard yesterday was true. . .I love Swayam. . .A lot" Sharon said softly looking at her friends.
Everyone looked at her. It was too hard to digest for them. . . A weakling equals Down market and their friend with a weakling boy hand in hand doing PDA was like searching life on Sun but the sincerity in Sharon's eyes and words melted them. They all looked at each other.
"Do you really love him?" Rey asked.
Sharon nodded in positive.
"Did he say yes?" Rey asked again.
"Nobody rejects a dazzler dude" Nilesh said with attitude.
"Dude, Come On, It's that weakling's Good Luck that Sharon Raiprakash, the dazzler loves him" Vicky said.
"Sharon its too hard to sink in you know. . ." Simmi said.
"Yes!But if that lanky guy hurts you. . .He better watch out" Nilesh warned.
"I haven't seen him since I confessed" Sharon said.Her anxiety was at the edge now.
*************
"Have a minute?" Someone's voice came and Sharon looked upwards from her book to see Swayam standing in front of her.
"Sww. . .Swayam"
"I think we need to talk" Swayam said seriously.
"Talk?Now?Here?"Sharon looked around to find all eyes staring at them.
"Maybe in private" Swayam said understanding her concern and Sharon nodded briefly.
*************
Both of them stood in the abandoned corridor. One nervous and the other calm.
"It's a plan of Dazzlings, Right?" Swayam looked at her expectantly.
"Prank?What prank?"Sharon said confused.
"You know whatever you said yesterday. . .It wasn't true right?" Swayam said.
Sharon felt like someone has jabbed in her belly, all her fears started inching close to engulf her. . .But she stood against hope and said confidently.
"No. . .I wasn't . . .I Love You Swayam" Sharon said surprisingly calm.
"Sharon. . .I . . ."Swayam closed his eyes for a second and opened looking intently in her eyes.
"Sharon I respect your feelings. . .I respect what you feel for me. . .But don't expect me to reciprocate it. . .I am sorry Sharon I don't love You" Swayam said looking in her eyes trying to read them.
Sharon looked at him and then lowered her gaze. A hundred emotions ransacked her and she had to fight back the urge to cry at the very moment. Swayam looked at her lowered face. He couldn't understand what did lead her to do this? They didn't even talk to each other. . . They weren't even friends. She and her gang insulted him and his friends. But right now Sharon was his center of concern he didn't know how to handle this so he settled for the first thing that came in his mind
"Are you Okay?"
Sharon just nodded and said "Ye. . .yeah. . .Dont worry. . .I think I should go"
A small part of Swayam ached to see Sharon like that. . .It wanted to hold Sharon but he decided against it and looked at the retreating figure through the ajar door.
