So like heyyy!!! 😉 I know it's been long and I am truly sorry, don't ill me please. But as I have said before I can't always promise to update so soon, as I am busy with a lot of things and because of my house renovation it is hard for me to update as my network isn't connected to my computer, so whenever the laptop is free off my brother that's the only time I get to update, so I am truly sorry for making y'all wait. I did a long chapter to make it up to you guys. But anyways here is chapter 2, again I would like to make one thing clear, if anyone wants a PM please buddy me first, so it's easier for me to create a PM list. I will be adding a PM list soon so that everyone can see who will be told about my updates, so if you want to be on it too, message me and buddy me first.

Chapter 2- The Plan
------------------------------
Taani couldn't comprehend what she had heard. She had gone to the AVP's office, as she had been called in by Khusboo ma'am who had told her that they were to hold a Rose day event in the college within the next few days, and she was quite happy about the upcoming occasion, at least now her friends could have a little fun instead of constantly worrying about the dance ban; but then even that idea got ruined as the AVP had made it quite clear in fact that the rose day party will not have any dance celebration between the students, and her good mood immediately deflated after hearing that. She didn't understand why the AVP had such major problems about dance.
Dancing is the way of life, a passion, a sense of freedom, an art, a tradition, an obsession; wasn't it? But what could she do, about it? Right now she had to follow the AVP's word against everyone else's as that was the only way she could gain Khusboo madam's confidence and trust, she had to be on her good graces if she wanted to help her friends out, even if it meant she'd first have to be the enemies acquaintance first and deal with Rey's bipolar moods.
What she did not count on though was that, when Khusboo ma'am had dismissed her, only for her to return back to the office when she remembered half way out the hall that she needed to ask ma'am about signing a document and on who would help her organize the party, that she would find out something that she or anyone else for that matter wasn't meant to hear. She had just approached the door to the office only to find ma'am on the phone to an unknown person, it sounded urgent as Khusboo ma'am seemed irritated and was shouting at the person on the other end of the phone. She was just about to leave so as to give her some privacy when she heard something about the dance ban and Rey. Looking at the AVP's serious expression and thinking that this conversation might be actually really important she quickly, against her ideologies, (she actually felt like a secret agent, James Bond style ;D) got her phone out from her bag pressing the video recording button and hid herself near the entrance doorway so as not to be caught. And let's just say she found out everything, and she means 'E-Ve-Ry-Thing!'
It was so unexpected and unbelievable that her downhearted mood instantly lifted and she was giddy with excitement all over again, and nothing could bring her down from that high excited feeling. Now all she needed were some more solid evidences and her plan would also have to have some major changes to it; it was finally near time for her to put it in action. She had made a vow to herself that she would correct everything, for the people she cared about; her brother, Sharon bhabhi, the gang and no matter how hard she tried to deny the fact that she still cared about him, Rey. It will be the last act of assistance she'd do for them before she left. She gave a sad smile to herself, but then shook her head quickly getting the emotion out her head, looking at Khusboo ma'am one last time she walked out towards the hall and then down the stairs, smirking at the predicament.
Getting the AVP's signature on the documents would just have to wait right now; she had some special phone calls to make.
--------------------------------------------------------
She had just gotten off the phone when suddenly a hard chest had slammed into her, making them both fall down, her file and phone flew out her hands and dropped a few paces away from her.
"Ufff!" She gasped out as she fell to the floor; the person made a grab for her arms, holding her and pulling her up towards him.
"Shit, I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I wa-…"
He stopped rambling finally noticing who he was holding in his arms, as Taani looked up at him connecting her eyes to his all of a sudden feeling an ache in her chest, Rey was staring at her intensely again. But before she could get her hopes up about him once more she constricted a wall within her heart and pushed him off her withdrawing from his arms immediately; she did not want to go through with his mood swings again, these days whenever he opened his mouth it was with the intention to hurt her. It was as if he enjoyed causing her pain, so she distanced herself from him immediately not noticing a flash of hurt crossing Rey's face as he felt the warmth of her bleed out from him fading away fast. By the time she looked back up to him he had recoiled his hands into fists and seemed angry, she frowned knowing an argument would pursue soon just by looking at his state so decided to pick up her things and walk away.
"Oh is the GS too good to talk to underlings now?" He ground out harshly to her.
She turned to look at him feeling angry and frustrated, "Please Rey I am not in the mood to argue with you, have you forgotten that it was you who wanted nothing to do with me, I am only trying to avoid a conflict. So please excuse me."
Before she could move away, a boy from her class came over to talk to her, "Oh hey Taani I've been looking for you, I wanted to give this to you..." And held out a rose to her, she grasped it in her hands and thanked him as he moved to go back to his friends.
"So banning dance on Rose day wasn't enough that now you need dates too, I should have known you would agree to it that quickly, I mean larko ko line jo lagi hai tumhari liyeh maza toh ayegi nah." Jealousy oozed out of his tone not liking her with other males as he stepped closer to her, his seen the way they all look at her wanting to be near her all the time, and he did not like it one bit.
"That's enough Reyaansh Singhania, I don't have the patience to listen to you anymore; no matter how you look at it I am not such a cheap girl that you think I am. I was just being polite he is my classmate, and for your kind information I don't plan to take a date. I understand what dance means to everyone, to my brother, to my friends and to you; all this hurts me too but you wouldn't understand the would you, because everything is always about you. I would never want anything to come between their happiness, but just understand this I am not your outlet for whenever you feel frustrated so please just leave me alone." He shut his mouth immediately shocked at her words of outburst.
He was really starting to infuriate her; she didn't even know what his problem was, when it came to her, he was always double standard.
She gripped her folder hard as she quickly turned away and walked away from him as fast as she could not wanting to be accused of anymore things, not even listening to him calling her back. And then when she couldn't hear him anymore she ran before anyone could see her tears cascade down her face, finding the fire exit to her left she quickly entered shutting the door making sure it was locked before she slowly sat down on the floor, resting her head against the door with her hands pushing against it as if to push all her hurt away. She closed her eyes, as she couldn't hold her tears in anymore, hiccupping as she did so.
Why is it that his words always pains her this much, she knew just by his actions that he hated her, but what did she ever do to make him hate her this much. Is this revenge for when she told him she loved him? If that is the reason then she will never come before him again. Why was it always so difficult when it came to the matters of the heart? When she fell in love with him she never expected to have her heart be constantly beat down and shatter into so many pieces by him, everyday. She thought they were making progress that he was starting to accept her as a friend that maybe he was slowly started to like her too when Shivam left, but how wrong was she. After getting rejected by him she was still naive and immature, still believing in fairytales and that he was her prince charming. He was a prince alright, but someone so un-accepting and so acidic that he burned her each time she would think otherwise. But she should have known that she was never a princess to this story but in fact a pauper who's pride was constantly being stripped away by him. What a shamble her heart was in, yet she could still not stop herself from loving him, she was such a masochist. Oh lord, someone help her, please... She couldn't help but think.
---------------------------------------------------------
Rey watched her go, feeling like the biggest idiot in the world. He tightened his fist and then punched the wall beside him hard; the people around him jumped seeing his aggression. They all stared not knowing what was up with him, as he marched off.
He went to the college roof, wanting to be alone and have some privacy from all the unwanted attention, gripping his head and wanting to bang it on a wall over and over again. His hands fell beside him, as he dropped to the ground on his knees, his head facing down as if ashamed. But he was ashamed, by his actions and his ego. Why did he always do this? Constantly hurt her when all he wanted to do was the opposite, he's so stupid, always letting his jealousy and ego over rule him. Why couldn't things go back to normal and at simpler times, when he was the GS and she was his assistant? Where there were no dance ban problems, no worries for nothing but the future. But now he felt everything crushing down on him, as if the weight of the world was in his shoulders. He didn't know what to do anymore, all he wanted was her by his side, but he always ruins the moment, like how she didn't even want to be near him anymore. That had hurt him badly, that she didn't want anything to do with him and then when he saw that damn boy coming near her to give her a rose he couldn't help but let the green monster out the bag.
Damn, damn, damn!!! He was making things worse between them day by day. He feels so lost, he doesn't even know what to do.
His phone started ringing distracting him from his thoughts, taking it out from his pockets he saw that it was from Swayam. He groaned, what was with the Shekawat siblings, one was always misunderstanding him and the other well he tried not to think what Swayam would do when he finds out that he had upset Taani again.
"Hello." He sighed out.
"Rey, where are you man? We need a plan for rose day, remember? It's only two days away now. And we need to get you a date." Swayam called out.
"We'll discuss the plans later, I- I don't know man I don't think I want to go with a date you know how all the girls are like, I'll try and find a way to get in some other way." Truthfully he didn't want to go without Taani, but that was highly unlikely with everything that's happened.
"But Rey- listen how about you just link me in the canteen we'll talk properly then, 'kay?"
"Okay, see you soon."
He closed the phone and stood up, taking a deep breath in once more he turned to leave. Trying but failing to get Taani out of his head, his shoulders slumped as he made his way to the canteen.
