That very Night.

Everyone wanted to go to sleep, as they all were tired.

KT sat on her bed and sighed.s

Prachi sat beside her.

"Common, now." she said softly.

"What?" she whispered back.

"The Box."

"Ohh."

KT took out the box, and spread all the things on the bed.

"What's all this? So old." Prachi said.

"My Memories." KT replied.

Prachi picked up a picture.

"Hey, this is you young, right, di?"

KT had a look at the picture.

"And, whose this guy beside you?" Prachi asked.

KT snatched the photograph away from her.

"He's no one. No one at all." KT replied hesitating.

"Di.. please tell me, I know he's someone. How come I've never met him before?"

"He's just a friend. We were best friends when we were young, then we got separated. That's all."

"So you didn't talk to him since?"

"Nope. Not once."
"Why not?"
"Nevermind, lets just get some sleep. No time to talk about this right now." KT said ingnoring the topic.

"Fine. Goodnight." Prachi said.

"Yup. Night." KT replied back.

Next Morning. College.

KT and Prachi walked through the crowd, and finally found their classes.

"Bye. I'll catch you later." Said KT.

"Okay, bye di." Prachi replied back, as they both went in their separate classes.

The classes were normal, as usual. KT's class had gotten dismissed early. She was waiting for Prachi outside her class.

After the bell rang, everyone rushed out of each class.

Prachi came out, and walked towards KT.

"lets go?" Prachi said.

"Yeah!" KT replied, as they walked.

On the way, Prachi bumped into a guy.

He books and papers scattered amongst the floor.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." said the guy.

Prachi collected her books and papers, with the help of KT and the man.

All three got up.

"Prachi, I've to go now, you can manage on your own right?" KT said, rushing.

"Yeah. Bye." She replied with a smile.

KT left.

Prachi looked up at the guy, who semt to be smiling.

"Hi, I'm Neev." he said.

"Hi, I'm Prachi." She replied.

They both shook hands.

"Sorry for the trouble." he muttered.

"It's fine." she said.

"Well, bye." Prachi finally added, and she left.

Neev grinned and walked away.

At Lunch,

Laksh semt to be walking when his cell rang.

"Hello?" he said answering the call.

"Laksh?" said a voice.

"Yeah? Who's this?"

"Guess karo." She giggled.

"I don't know?"

"Check your mail box after college." she giggled and hung up.

"Strange." he muttered, and walked away, hanging up the phone.

He continued walking, as he stopped, turned back, and walked to a girl.

He purposely bumped into her.

"You? Hmph." They both yelled at eachother.

Indeed, it was KT.

"I know you don't know how to drive a car. But now you don't even know how to walk?" KT said.

"Excuse-me?" he said.

"Yeah. What did I say wrong?"

"I'm sorry.." he said.

"What?!" she seemed surprized.

"I'm sorry for my stubborn behaviour yesterday, It was my fault."

"It's okay."

"Hi, I'm--" before Laksh could continue, the bell rang loud.

"Yeah, okay! Introductions can be done later. Bye!"

She grabbed her books and walked away.
