Fated to be with you - Chapter 12: BEST-DAY-EVER??

Hi my fellow Arjuhi fans😊. This is my first attempt at FF and I really hope I can do justice to the awesome characters of Arjun and Arohi ⭐️. I'd be very happy if you would read it and share your valuable comments with me. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it 😉. Here goes the first chapter 😃:

CHAPTER 1: SADIYAL

"C'mon, it'll be fun!"
"No yaar, I told you I won't participate in that stupid dance."
"But why're you being like this? Please Arohi, don't be a spoil sport now! Audition mein toh itne enthu ke saath part liya tha. Ab jab selection ho gaya, now you don't wanna dance?"
"I wanted a solo performance. And they've selected me for a group dance!"
"But see all the cute boys who'll dance with us! I'm sure you'll get a very cute dance partner."
"Shut up!"

It was a very warm evening and bollywood numbers were blaring from the speakers placed in the activity hall. Arohi wiped her forehead and neck for the tenth time and then finally tied up her long hair into a low ponytail. She was still wondering why she had let Shefali talk her into taking part in the inter-collegiate dance competition. Especially a mixed group dance - she didn't want to dance with some stupid boy!

She looked around the room and spotted a few unfamiliar faces, some scary looking senior boys whom she remembered from the fresher party, and silently prayed that she wouldn't get paired up with any of them.

"Ok fine, now everyone pay attention," said the self-appointed choreographer, Gurpreet from 3rd year. "Now I'm going to select partners for everyone."
One by one, Gurpreet paired up the boys and girls. Arohi checked her watch. Shefali was late as usual. Arohi fished out her cellphone from her pocket and typed a furious 'whr r u, come fast'. She had just finished sending it off, when she heard Gurpreet call out her name.
"...and Arohi, both of you come here."

She slowly walked up to the front of the hall and stood next to Gurpreet, waiting for her dance partner to come forward. Who was it? She had been so busy texting that she hadn't heard anything before her name got called out.
"Oh God, please let it not be that weird-looking tall guy in the back," she thought. He had spikey hair and was wearing a green colored t-shirt that read 'I took a pain pill, so why are you still here?'. And he was frowning and looking at her rather oddly.
"What an ugly t-shirt," she thought. "What a sadiyal-looking boy!"

To her horror, this sadiyal-looking boy had started to walk up to where she stood. He stopped right beside her and gave her a quick look-over. Then he turned away from her and spoke loudly to Gurpreet, "Arre yaar, kisi aisi-waisi ka partner mat bana. Koi apne batch ki hottie leke aa na."

Arohi froze in anger when she realized that the idiot had just insulted her. But she also realized that this idiot was apparently a senior, so she bit her tongue and kept quite. Who was this moron who thought he was a Greek God who deserved a Greek Goddess to dance with him?

"Chalo side ho jao tum dono," Gurpreet dismissed them. "Mere paas faltu time nahi hai is bakwas ka."

"Isko toh main mazaa chakhaaungi, magar baad mein. Abhi pata karti hu ki ye hai kaun," Arohi thought. She turned to him, cleared her throat, held out her hand and said, "Arohi Batra. Guess you're just stuck with me."

Sadiyal folded his arms, ignored her outstretched hand and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "I guess!"

Then he made a face and walked away, towards the exit.

Gurpreet yelled after him, "Ye kya? Kahan jaa raha hai?"

it seems to be exciting...update d next part soon...😊

Hi everyone. Thanks for the feedback :) Those who've requested for PM's will be pm'd. I'm on a roll today, since it's Sunday, it's very warm outside and I have nothing else to do! So here's the second chapter. It's slightly shorter, but I hope it's gonna answer the query some of you had 😉

CHAPTER 2: KHUD KO KYA SAMAJHTA HAI

"Excuse me! How can you just walk away from the practice?" Arohi called out irately after the senior in the green t-shirt.

He stopped and turned around, surprise on his face. "Excuse me? Why are you following me?"

"Listen, I'm not interested in following you, ok! It's Gurpreet who has asked me to check with you," fumed Arohi.

"Tell her I'm not interested in dancing with you."

Arohi was beyond herself with rage. "Who do you think you are? Shahrukh Khan? What makes you think I wanna dance with you!!" she shouted.

"Fine, then don't." With that he turned around and started walking again.

Before she could reply, her phone started ringing.

"Haan Shefali. I'm just outside the activity hall. Tu kahan hai stupid? Kabse wait kar rahi hu!... Achha main abhi andar aa rahi hu."

When she hung up, the sadiyal senior was nowhere to be seen, and Arohi didn't even feel like looking for him anymore. Cursing him under her breath, she went back into the hall, and found Shefali waiting for her.

"Arohi, what good news! Guess who's my dance partner?" beamed an excited Shefali, grinning from ear to ear.

"Bata de, I can't guess."

"Romit Singhania!"

"Khush reh. Tum dono ki jodi is made in heaven."

"Who toh hai! But tera partner kaun hai?"

"Koi nahi."

Shefali looked confused. "Matlab?"

"Matlab ye, ki mera dance partner bhaag gaya and ab main bhi bhaag rahi hu. Stupid dance, stupid Sadiyal, khud ko Shahrukh samajhta hai!" Arohi picked up her bag from the bench and made to leave.

Just then, Gurpreet came and asked her, "Kya hua? Nahi aaya kya woh wapas?"

Arohi shook her head, "No Gurpreet, and now I'm leaving, too. Sorry, but I really don't want to take part in this anymore."

"Arre! You're taking him seriously? You MUST be in this dance, Arohi, you're one of the best dancers in this group! Wait here, main abhi uski class leti hu." With that, Gurpreet dialed a number on her phone.

"Where are you? Don't you have any sense? How can you just walk out of the practice like that?... Tu pagal hai? Listen, I'm warning you, don't ruin my dance."

Arohi and Shefali listened to Gurpreet yell on the phone.

"Tu dance mein part lega aur tu Arohi Batra ke saath hi dance karega. I don't want to hear any more idiotic arguments from you. Got it?... Good."

With that, Gurpreet patted Arohi on the back and signaled her to stay calm.

Then she spoke into the phone, "So come back right now, Arjun Kakkar!!"
