Chapter 4:
"Get up Shar! We're going to be late for school! SHARON!!! WAKE UP!" Kria yelled, making Sharon fall from her bed. She rubbed her eyes. "Why do you have to shout like this Kri? I can hear you, you know." Sharon said. "Yes, that's why you've been sleeping for half an hour since I started calling your name." Kria said, folding her arms across her chest. Sharon gave her an embarrassed smile and got up. She looked at the time and freaked out. She rushed with her daily routine and was ready in fifteen minutes. 8:45. Fifteen minutes left for school to start. Kria and Sharon took their bag and went to class. First was English. The class seemed to go on forever. They had a surprise test that day. During lunch, Sharon and Kria met Rey like they did everyday and Kria and Rey started talking like they were never going to stop. Sharon got so bored and started walking from there. She bumped into someone and immediately apologized. "I am so sorry! I didn't see you. Sorry." Sharon said, before seeing who it was. "Swayam? Hey." Sharon said, trying to act cool. "Hey. It's fine. Happens to everyone. I was coming to talk to you." Swayam said. "Really, tell me." Sharon said. "Hey I'm sorry but I can't come to your house on Saturday." Swayam said. "WHAT? Why??" Sharon asked, very upset. She had been so excited about Swayam coming to her house to learn with her but now it had gone. "Well, actually. Kria and I are supposed to complete the project this weekend because I won't be here next week. I'm going for the Basketball match in Santa Monica.." Swayam said. "Oh. It's okay. We'll learn together some other time." Sharon said calmer than ever, but making a mental note to kill Kria later. She never told about when they were going to start the project. "I am sorry. I really wanted to come." Swayam said. "It's fine. Really." Sharon said. "Kay. I gotta go to practice. Otherwise I don't know what'll happen." Swayam said. He smiled and winked at her. Sharon's heart did somersaults when he did that. She didn't know why but she always wanted him next to her. She wanted to talk to him, know him inside-out. She smiled to herself seeing Swayam turn back to wave to her.
"You idiot! Couldn't you have told me that you were doing that project with Swayam this weekend? Why didn't you tell me?" Sharon asked, demanding an answer from Kria. "What? He said that he'll not be here next week and then it was decided that we would be doing the project during the weekend. Do I have a choice?" Kria asked, rolling her eyes. "Well, couldn't you have done it like tomorrow or something? After school!" Sharon said. "Why the hell are you so concerned about Swayam and me doing the project?" Kria asked, now getting irritated. "I HAD PLANS WITH SWAYAM, ALRIGHT???" Sharon said, at the top of her voice. "What?????" Kria's mouth hung open. "You're kidding me. Please tell me that you're joking. You're not going out with him, are you?" Kria asked. "NOOO!! I was going to tutor him in French. And what is the problem even if we were going out?" Sharon asked. "Because he's not a good guy alright? He flirts with a lot of girls." Kria said. "How do you know? Have you seen him flirting with anyone over here?" Sharon asked, not believing Kria. "You're defending him. I can't believe this. FYI he's in a boy's school now, isn't he?" Kria asked. "Yes he is. But we have combined classes for Language and we also have Lunch together." Sharon said. "Have you seen him flirting with any girl?" "Look I don't want to talk about this alright?" Kria said. "Well, why don't you want to?" Sharon asked. "You're talking as if you like him or something." Kria said. "That's because I do like him!!!" Sharon said, and then realized what she said. She didn't know how or why she'd said that, but she couldn't hear a word against Swayam. "I mean I like him like a friend! Nothing else." Sharon said. "You expect me to believe that?" Kria asked. "Yes. You have to. Because I'm your best friend." Sharon said. "Do whatever you want. But when you get hurt, don't come running to me." Kria said, and stomped off from there. "Kriaaa...I swear. He's just my friend yar!" Sharon said. "I don't believe you." She heard Kria's voice. "Well you have to." Sharon said. "nooo!!" Kria said, obviously teasing Sharon. "Kriaa..c'mon..!!" Sharon said, running in the direction in which Kria went, not worrying that she was in her pj's.
She ran in search of Kria. Suddenly she stopped at the basketball court. She saw Rey playing with the school team. She also saw HIM. She kept staring at him for sometime. At the way he played, the way he jumped to shoot the ball, the way he ran his fingers through his hair, the way he defended. She found herself admiring him once again. Her admiring session was disturbed by someone. "Ehem..ehem!!" Kria said. "Why did you stop here??" Kria asked. "Uh...uh...i was just watching my brother play. Wanna join me?" Sharon asked. "Watching your brother play or watching someone play huh?" Kria asked, raising her brows. "My brother." Sharon answered almost immediately even though it wasn't the truth. "Kria. Trust me. I like him only as a friend." Sharon said, for the hundredth time. She looked back at the guys playing and caught Swayam looking at her. When their eyes met, Swayam waved at her and smiled. Sharon smiled and waved back dreamily. "Yea right..I believe you." Kria said. Sharon turned to look at her, coming out of her dreamland. "KRIA! WILL YOU BELIEVE ME OR NOT. I DON't LIKE LYING!!! HE IS JUST MY FRIEND AND THAT'S ALL." Sharon said. "Fine. Fine. I believe you. Happy?" Kria said. "That's better. Now what are we doing standing here. Let's go." Sharon said. "Let's watch your brother play. Weren't you doing that?" Kria asked. "Yes yes that's exactly what I was doing." Sharon said, biting her tongue. "OMG! Rey scored two points. Wow! He's such an amazing basketball player." Kria said. "Well, I was the one who played with him all the time at home after school and during weekends. I am the person who made him a strong player." Sharon said. Kria looked at Sharon like she was crazy and then burst out laughing. Almost ROFL. "What??? You don't believe me? Ask him yourself. He'll tell the same thing. If he doesn't then I'll have to talk to him at home." Sharon said. "Okay okay! I'll ask him..but..you..and..basketball??" Kria asked, still unable to control her laughter. "You're mad and crazy." Sharon said, pulling Kria with her and going back to their dorm room.
Two weeks later:
They had submitted their projects and the boys had also won in the match. The semi formal dance was that night and they were all excited about it.
Finally, the night came. The gym had turned into a totally different place with red and white balloons and serial lights and glittery clothes and all. Kria wore a purple dress. Sharon wore a blue dress with simple jewellery. She had tied her hair with a half twist and fastened it with a barrette. She looked really pretty. They went to the gym and the party began. It was so much fun. The guys in their tuxes looked dashing. Kria and Sharon said hi to Rey and Swayam. They talked for sometime, drinking juice. Rey got up and stood in front of kria. "Can I have this dance?" Rey asked. Sharon smiled. It was so obvious that Rey liked Kria. "Sure why not?" Kria asked, held Kria's hand and went to the dance floor. Now it was only Sharon and Swayam. "So.." Swayam began. "Nothing..." Sharon said, and turned away from him. Please ask me to dance with you. Please please please. Was all Sharon could think. "Sharon, let's dance??" Swayam asked. Sharon was ecstatic. It was like a miracle. She had just wished for this and it came true. She wanted to say yes right away but then she had to be the girl. "Um..Actually..." She began, not knowing what to say, but Swayam stopped her. "Just one dance. Please? Anyway, we're getting bored sitting here." Swayam said. "Okay, come on." Sharon said and they went to the dance floor as well. A slow song was being played. Swayam held out his hand. She kept her hand on his. In an instant, Swayam pulled her to him and placed one hand on her waist. She placed her hand on his shoulder and both of them were in the usual slow dancing position. They were very close to each other. Their eyes locked. They started swaying according to the music.
After a while, Swayam broke the silence between them. "can I tell you something?" he asked. "Sure." Sharon said. "You look very beautiful tonight." Swayam this. Hearing this, Sharon looked away from him and blushed. She managed to look at him again. "Thankyou. And you look really handsome." Sharon managed to say. Swayam smiled at her, actually his sexy half smile. The fun night was coming to an end and they went back to their dorm rooms. Before going, Sharon asked Swayam. "You're coming home tomorrow right? For learning French?" Swayam turned to look at her. "Yes I am definitely coming." Swayam said. "Good night." "Night." Sharon said, and then went to her room, getting excited about going home.
Precap: Swayam and Sharon in her house.
