"Where's Aaliya?" Zain Abdullah asked Aisha Haider, Aaliya Haider's sister, as he passed by her.
"Oh, she missed lunch 'coz she was studying. Now, she was so hungry that she went to the dining for some food. I bet Chef Mizzar is busy. He will not be able to make her anything. Chef had to go out of town." Aisha replied. "Why do you ask?"
"Just looking for her."
"Something the matter?"
"Nah, all good. I had to catch up with her before chem. I'll go talk to her in the dining, see you later."
"Ciao!" Aisha smiled as she knew Zain wasn't looking for Aaliya only because of chem. Why? There was no chem period that day.

"Earth to Aaliya." Zain snaps fingers in front of Aaliya's face as she sits day dreaming about that very man who can make her go crazy. She looks at Zain who is smiling at her. She smiles back.
"What's up?"
"Nothing much, really. I just came here to talk about the project Miss Shah gave us last week. But seems that you have much bigger problems."
"Tell me about it." She sits on the counter, "I am hungry."
"Chef?" Zain looks around the kitchen. He cannot see anyone. "Where is everyone?"
"Miss Qureshi gave them the day off after making us lunch." Miss Qureshi was the head of Mount College. She was witty, and currently on her third husband and planning on divorce. She likes to try 'new' things. Well, everyone is different.
"Do you want me to make you something?"
"What? Biryani? Chicken Muglai? You don't know how to cook. And we don't want our kitchens messed up. I'll be okay with the granola bars left in my cupboard." Aaliya said as she was about to get off the counter. Zain quickly came in front of her and set both his hands on either sides of her.
"My princess won't survive on granola bars." Aaliya blushes at the word 'princess'. Sure, Zain had an habit of harmless flirting with almost everything. He didn't even leave Miss Qureshi alone. But the way he said it, it didn't just seem like flirting. It felt more.
Much more.
"You got a better idea?" Aaliya asked. Zain grinned.
"Wait." He smiled, "I think I do."
