Chapter 2
A/N: Thanx Ysh for forcing me to post this. Please review, criticism is welcome!
"Nats! Wait up yaar! Gosh why you walking so fast?" Asked Priyanka as she ran to catch up with her best friend.
"Sorry! Perhaps because I CAN walk so fast!" she said, laughing.
"Hey, you're not gonna stop being my friend now that you're a hot chick, are you?"
"Yeah right!" she replied laughing "And besides, I always WAS a hot chick! Race you to the bus stop!"
"You're on baby!

It was Rahul's turn to give them all a ride to college. Jen and Nikki were chatting while Amit was explaining some new computer program to Rahul and Karan. Correction. To Rahul. Karan was looking out of the window, not bothered.
"Race you to the bus stop!"
"You're on baby!"
He turned to see Her running towards the bus stop. Ah, I wonder if he'll come or the match.
***
"Boo!" said Priyanka as she tried to scare Natasha.
"Not happening!: she replied, smiling as they walked out of their last class.
"Coming for the football match?" asked Priyanka
"It must be over by now."
"Yeah, lets go check out who won, won't take us too long!"
******
The crowd was out of control. With a score of 1-1, Karan had scored in the 94th minute. Extra time. The team hoisted him onto their shoulders as they walked towards the crowd. They let Karan down and he ran to his friends, out of which Nikki was standing on two chairs piled up in a rather ricky position.
"Get me down!"
"How'd you end up there?" asked Karan laughing.
"I got up and no one's willing to help me down!"
"Oh probably because you've been screaming so loud, doofus!" said Jenny, shutting her ears.
"Karan! My best friend! Dear brother! Come on! Help me yaar!"
Laughing, Karan helped her down and they began heading off the field.

Natasha said "Let's say hi to Sunny too, shall we?
Sunny, Natasha's family friend and one of her best friends, was a part of the football team. Natasha and Priyanka pushed past some crowd and reached the entrance of the field. 'Ummm, where is he?' thought Natasha.
"Excuse me, ummm Kunal? Where's Sunny?" she asked Karan as they crossed.
"Karan"
"Sorry?"
"My name's Karan."
"Ah, good for you. Where's Sunny? Did we win the match?"
"You're asking the captain if we won, Nats?" asked Nikki laughing, "he seems quite happy! Who do you 'think' won the match?"
"Hi Nikki!" her face brightened, "kaisi ho?"
"Fine! Searching for Sunny na? He's with coach."
"Thanks Nikki, you're such a dear!"
"See ya!" said Nikki as Natasha and Priyanka walked off to meet Sunny.
"Sunny!", Natasha yelled, as she ran over to give him a hug. Karan was watching closely.
"Awesome buddy! You'll won?"
"Scored a goal!"
"Yeah? Wow! You're the best yaar!"
"Really?"
"Na, I'm just saying that." She said, laughing.
"Hi Sunny!" said Priyanka.
"Hey Pri, said Sunny kindly to her.
Natasha turned around to look out for that Kunal guy. 'Why was he staring at her that way?'
***
"Kunal"
"What?"
"She called me Kunal"
"Yeah so? Agli baar Karan bula degi"
"Sure?"
"Gosh, does it matter?"
"How do you know her Nikki?
"I, unlike you, am nice to everyone!"
"What? Why do you say that? How?" he asked, with a worried look on his face.
"Kidding, chill…she was in my cookery class last year."
"Ah, cookery" he said, with a distant look on his face, as they walked out of college.
"Karan! Stop it! You're scaring me! Be normal. "
"Accha baba, fine!" he said, pulling off her rubber band that held her hair together in a pony tail, sans few strands, and ran, with Nikki chasing him, as Rahul, Jenny and Amit followed, laughing.
***That night, as Natasha went to bed, she thought, 'Another day gone by. Another sunset gone.' She tucked herself in and fell asleep, her secret quiet within her.
