Part 1
This is based on the spoiler that Rhea makes Ranbir break Prachi’s heart. Unbeknownst to Ranbir himself, he’s fallen for Prachi. But Rhea sensing Ranbir’s feelings change, breaks the news to Prachi herself, and Ranbir just goes with the flow, he doesn’t understand why it hurt him so bad seeing Prachi distant but at the same time dating Rhea, because that’s what he always wanted, except he isn't as happy as he thought he would be. So this is about a month or two later.
Prachi's POV
~~~~~~~~~~
When the flyers for the annual dance rolled out, Prachi was unsure if she wanted to go. She didn’t have anyone to go with. Although she didn’t believe she needed a guy to go with, she was an independent woman, after all, she just didn’t want to be a third wheel for Shahana and Aryan who had finally gotten together. That, and she didn’t want to see Ranbir. As much as she hated Ranbir, she also couldn’t see him with Rhea, even though she thought both of them deserved each other now, being rich spoiled brats who were heartless. Her heart still broke when she’d see them together because she had fallen for him. She couldn’t believe it. Him. Ranbir. It was all a game to Ranbir but she had fallen for him and his farce friendship. She had fallen for his irritating habits coupled with him making it up to her because he couldn’t see her cry. She had fallen for the cheeky smirk he made before he had an idea that she knew always meant trouble. She had fallen for her bad-boy charm and she hated herself for it. It had been 2 months since Rhea revealed to him that awful bet. She hadn't shown herself weak in front of them, Shahana, Aryan or her own mother but whenever she was alone, she did let a tear or two out for that beautiful dreamRanbir had cruelly made her have.
When she met Sunny, Disha’s son an instant friendship formed and it had helped Prachi slightly move on, having less time being by herself and more time being surrounded by good friends. And even though he was slightly older than her, he fit well in her group of her, Shahana and Aryan, who had broken his friendship with Ranbir after what he did to Prachi. Shahana,Aryan and Sunny convinced her to take Sunny with her to the dance. They were allowed plus ones, given if they had purchased a ticket for them, and her taking Sunny meant she wouldn’t be the third wheel, she would get to enjoy the dance with a good friend, and if anyone tried to mess with her, Sunny had promised to take care of them. After all, why should she miss out on the fun if Ranbir and Rhea were horrible people?
On the night of the dance, Prachi was actually excited. Disha had bought her a dress. Pragya and Prachi both had initially refused to accept the gift, they didn’t needexpensive gifts. But Disha had cupped Prachi’s face in her hands and replied, “MainePragya ko ek badi behen ka derza diya hai, so in that respect, you are my niece. Aur family main gifts gifts nahi hota, apno kya pyar hota hai.” Prachi huggedDisha and excitedly went on to try the dress. It was a black dress, that hugged her body at all the right places, with a lace neckline and sleeves. Prachi paired the dress with simple earrings, light makeup and hair bun up-so, with some loose strands of hair that were curled to finish off an elegant look. Shahana was the first to see her and teased her about wanting her as her date rather than Aryan because she looked amazing. Whenshe walked out of the room, Pragya and Disha both held huge smiles, gushing at how pretty she looked. Sunny joked about not wanting to go to the party anymore because he would need to fight off more people now because all eyes would be on her but gave her a side hug to let her know it was in jest.
The trio then left, meeting Aryan at the dance. When she entered the college hall, she was met with curious eyes. Some not recognizing her, others wondering if she was the same Prachi they knew from the earlier morning and others wondering who the guy with her was. When Sunny and Aryan left the girls to get some refreshments, was when she first felt his eyes. She didn’t dare turn around, but she could feel his gaze was fixated on her and if looks could kill, she would be dead.
