Khushi and Lavanya were at Josh's having their lattes.
"Again? Was it different?"
"No. It was the exact same thing! Only..."
"Only what?"
"Only..."
*~*
She looked up into his eyes, him looking back at her with love-filled eyes.
"Who are you," she asked.
"Arnav. Arnav Singh Raizada."
*~*
"Thats it," Lavanya asked.
"Yeah. Only that bit added."
"Well, whatever. The good thing is we know his name."
"Yeah. But it's not like we see him."
"Khushi, please keep it positive. You're falling for the guy, so yes you will meet him and see him. Now will you relax?"
Khushi just nodded and had her latte. She wanted to believe Lavanya's words, but she knew her opinion was right.
And indeed it was. Throughout the rest of the first semester, neither Khushi nor Lavanya had seen him. It was weird to Lavanya but Khushi wondered where he was. But then the negativity took over and she thought they weren't meant to happen.
Soon, midterms came and Khushi's crazy study antics had helped her so much, she passed all her midterms. They were given two weeks off until the second semester started. Khushi asked her mom and dad to let her stay one more semester, and Karan and Kinjal had approved. The two knew how big hers and Lavanya's friendship was.
Soon, the second semester had started. Khushi went to her classes, as scheduled. She was now going to her Statistics class, and when she got in, she barely saw anyone there. She went inside the room and sat down somewhere, near the back. A few minutes passed, Anisha and her duplicates Neetu and Naina came in. They sat in the middle of the room, being the "center of attention".
A couple of minutes passed by. Khushi was getting her notebook out and opened it to a fresh page, when she had felt it. She had felt a slight breeze. But not any ordinary breeze, but a breeze that sent unordinary tingles up her spine. She looked up and in came the man who had disappeared out of her life for the past few months - Arnav.
He shook hands with his friends and they left. Arnav turned and stepped into the room and looked at the people. Anisha saw him and sat up straight immediately. Neetu and Naina were no less, sitting up straight in a proper posture, like Anisha.
Arnav headed towards the steps and Anisha waved at him.
"Hey Arnav," she said flirtatiously.
He gave her a simple nod and Anisha tried to shoo away her friends to let him sit next to her, but Arnav had other plans.
(Rewind lolz)
When he had walked in, he had seen Khushi, and for some reason, he had felt a slight breeze. It seemed like the breeze had made her hair fly by a bit, but it seemed strange. But he ignored the feeling and went straight over to her.
As for Khushi, when she saw that he was looking around the room, she had flinched and looked back at her book. But when she noticed Arnav coming her way, her heart started to pump up. But when he had stopped because of Anisha, she felt her heart pit in, so she buried her face in her bag, looking for her iPod Touch, which she kept misplacing for some reason.
Arnav went up and Anisha gaped. He went all the way up and went over to Khushi. Anisha couldn't see Khushi, since Khushi had bent down and was going through her bag.
Arnav had sat down. "Hey Khushi."
Khushi got up, her hair flying as she turned and looked at him. Her hair had hit his face and her eyes widened. "Arnav! I-I'm so sorry-"
"It's okay."
"Did I hurt you?"
Arnav smiled a crooked grin. "No. Actually, your hair is really soft. Green apples?"
"Uh... yeah," she said shyly.
Arnav gave her another crooked grin and Khushi smiled back softly. Soon the professor came in and he began his intro to the class. Everyone paid attention, except for Anisha. She had notice the exchange between Arnav and Khushi, and her blood was boiling.
