Fight for yourself-show others what you are made of. Stop being a cry baby, stop feeling sorry for yourself, be who you are...she sighed and chanted as she walked back into college..Meera was right, she can't always let others affect her..she can't always let them get inside her head...she had to learn not to depend on others...not even on her own family who always left no stone unturned putting her down based on her physical appearance..Meera was the only one she could count on and now she made her upset...she had to think of a way to make it up to her and lucky for Geet she knew exactly how to.
She quickly prayed before entering the class room...she was five minutes late but sighed in relief the professor hadn't showed up yet...she looks around the class room for Meera...she slowly walks toward her ignoring some students pointing and laughing at her..she holds the binder in her hand tightly trying very hard not to cry..she looks at Meera who kept her head down the whole time pretending to read...
Geet was getting close to her desk when she spotted him...he was sitting a row away from Meera's desk...he was reading his book as usual ignoring everyone around him even all the girls that throw themselves at him during classes but after class they have his undivided attention... sometimes she wondered what kind of person he is...how many sides does he have.
As she was about to grab the seat near Meera someone came from behind taking her spot. Geet stood there looking at her for support but she completely ignored her...she looks around for other seats but everything was taken..except for one...near him...her heart pounded faster and she was sure everyone could hear her rapid heart beat as everyone stared at her with amusement...she thanked her stars that the professor came in...
Professor: alright class lets begin by...(the professor stops in between..) Ms. Geet do you need special instructions for sitting?
Geet (looks at the professor) woh uh
Professor: I don't have time to listen you say woh uh...now please if you don't mind take that empty seat..
Geet legs almost gave up on her when the professor pointed to the very seat that she had dreaded her whole life...well not whole but half of her life, ever since she saw him...she looked down toward her feet, she swear she didn't see any floor...she saw black hole, she waited for the black hole to consume her so that she doesn't have to face this anymore...her mind went blank, her thoughts, her chant and her courage went away from her...she wanted to run and throw up but couldn't..her legs wouldn't move..she looks at her professor who was saying something to her but she couldn't hear what..all she saw was the professors lip movement...she looks around everyone looking at her with amusement...what is she suppose to do?

Someone touches her to bring her out of her blank thoughts...she looks at the professor again..who was yelling at her...
"please take your seat..or else I will be forced to kick you out of the room..."
Geet quickly nodes her head and proceeds toward the very person that one day will be the death of her..his one look will be enough to kill her...she sat down next to him and slowly she tried to put her notebooks on the table but couldn't..her hands were too shaky..finally after giving up..she puts the books on the lap...
she felt him moving away a little from her..that was like stab in her heart...she looks at the space between them with almost teary eyes but stopped herself remembering the words from earlier but it didn't work..she tried so hard not to look at him, he was right here...so close to her but yet he was untouchable not that she would...she would die the minute her hand touches any part of his body...
She looks ahead "trying" to pay attention to the lecture but couldn't...his proximity was too much for her to handle..she looks back toward Meera...who looks at her with a smirk and then quickly turning her head remembering she was mad at her...Geet sighs knowing she had to wait till after class to talk to her but for now she had to make it through this lecture sitting right next to him...
"ohh god he smells so good..." She inhales a deep breath trying to take his scent in...(yeah that doesn't sound creepy at all) "Babaji what kind of test are you taking from me? You know everything about him, my feelings for him and yet you are so determined to make me sit next to him..why?" (She looks at the time...it was barley moving...she had about 55 more minutes left till she will be able to breath again...) "haye Babaji mera kya hoga in 55 minutes...please Babaji help me..." (she looks up praying silently to her babaji, scolding and pleading for everything to go alright unaware of the things happening around her)
Professor: Okay class we are going to do a small group presentation..each of you will pick one topic from the list I am providing..and from that list I want you guys to do a 10 minute presentation next week...
"who will be our partners? Are we allowed to choose our own?"
Professor: Your partners are whoever sitting next to you no more than two people in each group... (the whole class frowned hearing that and looked at the people sitting left or right of them...) any questions? (the professor heard someone murmuring..he looks at Geet looking up at the ceiling...) Ms. Geet...(But she didn't pay attention...)
Geet kept praying and cursing herself for landing into this mess...she didn't hear one word of what the professor had said..."Babaji please meri raksha karna..." (she felt someone touching her..she comes out of her la la land and looks to her left...she held on to the desk for support when she saw his hand poking her...she looks at his eyes...they were so dreamy..she felt herself drowning in them...he points somewhere..her eyes slowly follow his finger toward the professor..she quickly comes out of her dream land..all the students laugh out loud...she quickly stands up with her head down)
Professor: Ms. Geet do you come to my class to day dream?
Geet: NO sir...
Professor: Do you understand the assignment?
Geet: yes sir...i know what to do..
Professor: We will see during your presentation...
He walks away..as soon as he turned around Geet sat down staring down at the piece of paper with some alien words that she was not in the right state of mind to comprehend what it said...for the rest of the class she tried her best not to embarrass herself or think about the person sitting right next to her...as soon as the class finished she zoomed out as fast as her legs could carry her... she heard someone say her name but she ignored the calling..she ran outside breathing heavy..she sat on the bench trying to catch her breath...someone comes and puts a hand on her shoulder...Geet quickly hugs Meera as soon as she saw her
Geet: You were right..I was being stupid..am so sorry
Meera: No am sorry..I don't know what happened to me..you know I say things that I don't mean when am angry
Geet: No you had every right to yell at me..I should learn how to fight with everyone...I was stupid to listen to that Sameera...I don't need anyone as long as you are with me
Meera: You know I always am with you...anyways I wasn't really mad at you..I knew that you would come back to apologize to me (she smirks)
Geet (pouts and sits down..she pulls Meera's hand) you know I almost died sitting next to him...I don't know how I survived an hour of class with him...
Meera: I know I saw your face but am glad that you at least sat with him and will be working with him for a week
Geet: yeah (she said dazed out and than Meera's words struck her...she looks at her shocked) WHAT! What do you mean..wooo wooo wooorrrkkk (she started stammering holding on to her chest for steady her breath...she couldn't breath at all)
Meera (pats her back) Yeah he is your partner for the presentation...you said you understand when the professor asked you
Geet: I didn't know what he was saying..oh my god..(she stands up pacing back and fourth) I knew coming back was a bad idea..if I can't even sit next to him...or talk to him or look at him..how can I work with him..and that too...aallloo (she starts breathing heavy...)
Meera: Geet...Geet realax...take a deep breath...inhale and exhale..come on Geet..(she slowly starts doing it..) okay good...now sit...(she makes her sit...) this will be a good opportunity...just think about it..who knows maybe you guys will become friends
Geet: Friends? Woh kaha aur main kaha...asmaan aur zameen ka fakah hain hum dono mein...we can't be friends and plus look (she points to the left where he was sitting surrounded by Sameera and couple of other girls) you think that he would be interested in becoming a friend with me? He has so many girls around him who are better looking compared to me..he could get any friends he want...than why would he choose me?
Meera: because you are different...you and I both know that
Geet (scoffs as she looks at him) Yeah I sure am...mentally and physically...
Meera (slightly slaps her on the face) come out of this thing you have set in your mind...now listen to me...(Geet puts her hand up to stop her...Meera moves it away) What..I am trying
Geet: Help me...
Meera: What happened...(she tried to look his way but Geet stops her)
Geet: no don't...he looked at me...(she looks away...)
Meera: So...at least he is noticing you
Geet: omg...he is standing up...oh my god...I need something to help me breath...I think he is coming my way...oh god I need to go...
Meera: NO..you are going to sit here and see what happens..(she hands Geet a book) pretend to read this...
Geet quickly opens the book pretending to read but who could read at a crucial time like this...she peaked a little from above the book and saw that he was coming closer..quickly she buries her face into the book...praying to her babaji...while Meera enjoyed seeing her friend's restless state...she felt something drop on her lap..she puts the book down and saw the same flyer that Sameera had eariler teased her with..she looks around and saw his retreating form...she looks at the flyer..the donkey's face was crossed out...she looks at it with a smile...she stands up walking out of the campus holding the flyer close to her hand...Meera follows closely behind her knowing she is definitely gone
