Part 16

     Several weeks passed, by now Kripa's parents had arrived and Kripa was so busy that she hardly spent time with Angad anymore. But being distant made their feelings toward each other grow. They missed each other every moment they spent without each other. But neither one wanted to admit that they had feelings for the other. Angad didn't believe in a relationship that was more than friends, he cared about Kripa, but he didn't love her. Or that's what he told himself. Kripa wasn't sure how she felt towards love. It had crossed her mind several times, but she would always ignore it. In love, and with Angad Khanna? No way. That's what she would tell her self but did she really mean it?

     By now, it's December. Its beautiful outside, the grass is covered with a sheet of white snow, and so are the trees. Winter break is a week away and the excitement is in the air. The winter dance is coming up and Kripa is the president of Student Council. In these few weeks, she had gained quite a reputation. She was in many extra-circular activities, doing great in all her classes, and friendly with everyone. Some people were jealous of her because she had gained such a reputation and become Angad Khanna's best friend. They had not been able to do it in four years and she had done it in a few weeks.

     Therefore, Kripa was busy with decorations and other things. As she went on with the daily school routine throughout the morning, she noticed that a lot of guys were asking girls out. No one had asked her out yet. Its not that she really was expecting someone to. On the other hand, was she? She was wondering who Angad was going with, but she decided not to ask. Why should she care? During lunch, she went and sat with Ria and her friends.They were talking about their dates, and outfits.

Ria asked, "Kripa, you want to go shopping with us for dresses?
Kripa- "I'd love to, but, well, no one has asked me out yet." All heads turned around to look at her.

Everyone thought Angad was gonna ask her out.

Kripa snapped- "What?'
Ria asked, "Hasn't Angad asked you out?" Kripa, "what..Angad? no? …er.. why would he ask me out?"   
Ria- "oh, um, well, because… never mind."

They quickly finished their lunch and the "group" went to the bathroom, leaving Kripa behind. Probably gossiping about how I do not have a date, Kripa thought. She was thinking about throwing her lunch out when she saw Kashish heading her way.

Ka- "Hey Kripa!"
K- "Hey Kashish, whats up?"
Ka, "oh nothing much, I was just helping the librarian in sorting some things out."
K- "Oh"
Kripa decided to politely wait for Kashish to finish her food.

K- "So, who are you going to the dance with?"
Ka- "no one" she went a little red.
K- "welcome to the club"
Kashish looked up, shocked. "No one asked you out?"
K- "Nope, why is that so shocking?'
Ka- "Well, all the guys have their eyes on you; everyone thought you would be the first one to be asked out."
K- "Well, I am not, and if I wouldn't have been the president of the student council, I wouldn't have to go to the dance. "
Ka- "Well, you will be busy, no one will notice."
Kripa- "Whatever"
