While Khushi and Lavanya were busy dancing, Toh's friend had noticed and pointed at them. Toh turned and looked at the girls and wasn't so surprised. After the dance off at the wedding, he knew Khushi's talent - not to mention the secret to her success.
Not only had these two noticed, but everyone else did too and danced with them. And by everyone, I mean EVERYONE. Which included Anisha and her crew.
See, Anisha has a big jealousy problem. if someone's better than her, she gets jealous immediately. Bad habit since childhood. (-_- smh)
She went in and joined, making the guys go over to her and dance with her. She tried to act like she didn't notice, because she was too busy looking at the guy she was interested in.
Khushi and Lavanya, however, paid no attention about the guys all over Anisha. They didn't care and only cared about the fun. But Khushi noticed something from the corner of her eyes, and she saw that Toh was looking at them.
He nodded, gesturing "what up?", at her and she just shook her head, gesturing "nothing". She nodded, gesturing "come over and join us" and he nodded in approval and walked over to them. Lavanya noticed all of this and got hype. Toh recognized Lavanya and apologized for not saying hi earlier, but Lavanya didn't mind. The three danced together, but the deed wasn't missed by Anisha.
Figured it out? I'm sure you guys did, since you guys are so smart and cunning (<3). Anisha has a thing for Toh, ever since she stepped onto campus and saw him. He had the characteristics of a hot guy and she wanted him, whatever it took. She saw how other girls drooled for him and she made it her mission that she HAD to HAVE HIM.
The three finished dancing and stepped outside taking drinks, Khushi going with a nonalcoholic drink. They stood out at the backyard patio and drank their drinks.
"So what's up you guys," Toh asked.
"Not much," Lavanya replied.
"Just focusing in studies," Khushi replied.
The two looked at her like she was stupid. "Wah?"
"… studies…?"
"Why would you do that stuff now," Toh asked.
"See what I have to deal with," Lavanya asked him, chuckling.
"Shut up Lav," Khushi said. "And I think you've drank enough," and she took her cup.
"Hey!" But Khushi had already thrown the cup on the floor, the beer pouring.
"Wah," Lavanya fake-cried.
"Oh well! Now behave yourself."
"Yes mom!"
Khushi rolled her eyes and ignored her.
Toh started to chuckle.
"What's so funny," Khushi asked.
"You guys are so cute, especially you Khushi."
Lavanya may have been drunk, but in this situation, her brain was still working properly. She was shrieking inside her head and Khushi shyly smiled, melting inside.
OMG, Khushi shrieked in her head. He did not just call me cute! But he did! Pinch me! She carefully did, no one noticing. Ouch! He did!
Just then Anisha came walking past. "Oh hey," and she stood next to Toh. "How are you?"
"Oh hey," Toh replied. "Nice party!"
"Thanks," she smiled over-brightly. She looked at Khushi and Lavanya. "Um…-"
"Oh, this is Lavanya," Toh introduced, "and this," he went over to Khushi, "is Khushi?"
"Khushi?"
"Yeah! Like "happiness"."
"Oh."
He nodded.
"Well, it's nice to meet you guys."
Khushi smiled back lightly, but Lavanya sensed the hate in her voice and gave a fake smile.
"Anyways," Toh said, " gonna get going," and he turned away.
"Yeah," Lavanya said. "We should too," she said, looking at Khushi.
"Alright," Khushi said. "Great party Anisha."
"I know," Anisha replied, disgust in her voice.
Toh came back. "Nice party, again!"
"Aww! Thanks," Anisha replied sweetly.
Toh started to walk away and Anisha was about to say something to Khushi and Lavanya, but Lavanya had already turned on her heels and took Khushi with her, them walking to Khushi's car.
"Lavanya, that was rude-"
"Khushi, the chick hates you."
"What? But we just met-"
"Yeah, but she doesn't like you with Toh."
"What?"
"Yeah. Did you not notice?"
"No."
Lavanya groaned. "My friend, you have a lot to learn."
"Khushi?"
The two turned and saw Toh.
"Oh hey," Khushi said, hoping he didn't hear their conversation.
"Um, could you drop me off?"
She was in shock. "Um… y-yeah. … of course."
He smiled. "Thanks. My friend won't let me drive, saying I drank to much." He rolled his eyes.
"Well, you can never be to careful," she tried to joke, chuckling a little bit, but Toh and Lavanya didn't get it, Lavanya feeling embaressed. "Anyways, let's go."
They all got in the car, a BMW to be exact, and Lavanya sat in the back purposely.
"So where to," Khushi asked as she pulled away from the house.
"My uncles. I'm staying there for now."
"Oh. You're not from here?"
"No. Came from a few towns down."
"Oh. That's cool."
Toh just shrugged.
It was getting quiet, so Lavanya spoke.
"Hey Khushi, drop me off first."
"Okay. Think you'll manage."
"I'll be fine."
They arrived to the campus and dropped Lavanya off.
"Tell Kinjal I said hi," Lavanya said.
"Okay," and Khushi pulled away.
"Who's Kinjal," Toh asked.
"My mom."
"You're friend calls her by her name?"
"Yeah. My mom's cool like that."
He chuckled. "Think I'd like to meet her some time."
Khushi smiled. "I think she'd like you too."
"Really? Why?"
"Well, A: cause you're a guy. B: she's really chill and make jokes, like creating proposals for you."
"Proposals?"
"Yeah. Like alliances."
"Are you serious?"
Khushi chuckled. "Yeah. I tell you, my moms really cool. Don't worry, she wouldn't REALLY put you into an alliance."
"Oh. Okay. I knew that."
Khushi looked at him and raised an eyebrow and then both laughed.
Toh gave her the directions to his place and she dropped him off.
"It was really nice of you to drop me off Khushi. Thanks."
Khushi shook her head. "No "thanks" or "thank you's" in friendship." Did I just say that, she exclaimed. Im so corny!
He smiled. "Eh, I don't believe in all that crap. You should say thanks to anyone, be it whoever they are. It's a nice thing to do."
Khushi just nodded.
"But thanks, though."
"No prob."
He smiled and turned to go away. Just as Khushi was about to pull away, she remembered.
"Hey wait!"
Toh turned around and looked at her. "What's up?"
"Well…."
"Well…?"
"Well, we've met so many times now, and… I don't even know your name."
"Oh. … oh! You're right!" He chuckled. "Arnav."
"What?"
"The name is Arnav. Arnav Singh Raizada."
She made an "o" shape with her mouth from acknowledgment. "Arnav… nice name."
"A sexy name," he said, smirking sexily.
"Oh how obnoxious!"
The two laughed and then looked at each other.
"Well, I'll see you 'round Khushi."
"Yeah…. See ya 'round Arnav."
He nodded and then turned to leave and went inside. Khushi had pulled away and on her drive home, she couldn't help but think.
Arnav… what a nice- no, a sexy name, and she smiled the entire way home.
