Chapter 2

Kripa and Angad finally make their way to their class. After all they came to college to study. Angad and Kripa enter the class, while behind them Kavya and Anjali are fighting. Angad sits down in the back and Kripa is about to take the seat in the other row on the side of him, but he yanks Kripa into the chair next to him. Angad knows one thing, that he only passes his classes because of Kripa, if they have an argument, Angad's grades would suffer. She is his personal tutor along with his best friend and after all what are friends for anyways. Kavya is forced to sit in front of Angad with Anjali. Anjali takes a look at Kavya and again curses her ill fate that they always seem to get paired with each other. Kavya silently complains "Uff I'm stuck with chipkali!" Anjali stands up and screams "WHAT!!", while the whole class including the teacher stop to look at her. The psychology professor yells, "Ms. Khanna sit down and stop disturbing the class".

Kavya smirks at her embarrassment. Oh how he loved to make her mad, it was simply too easy. Kavya grins "Anju stop disturbing the class" Anjali angrily whispers, "SHUT UP Kavya! Your just impossible. Kavya smirks "I know sweetie it's a gift." Angad and Kripa are getting quite annoyed with Kavya and Anju's constant fighting, not that they want to listen to the professor, but it is way better than their fights. Angad pokes Kavya and whispers, "Dude quit messing with Anju, you guys are bugging the crap out of me and Krips" Kavya sighs, "hmm fineee." Neev and Prachi are sitting in front of Angad and Kripa. Prachi keeps passing notes to Neev and vice versa, so basically no one is paying attention, well obviously it is their first day back. The professor announces that the person they are sitting next to would be their partners for the project on the brain due on Monday, meaning they have the weekend to do it. At the mention of this Anjali groans even more. Kavya just laughs at Anju's facial expressions. Anjali expressions always give her away, she can never hide anything because one look at Anjali and you knon what she is thinking. Suddenly the bell rings and everyone leaves the class. Angad takes Kripa's purse and darts, with Kripa running after him closely. Kripa exclaims, "Angad get you butt back here with my purse!" Kripa jumps on Angad's back and they both fall. Kripa starts hitting Angad and he keeps yelling, "Bachao!!"  

Finally when Kripa stops hitting Angad, he starts complaining, "Krips stop eating so much geez, GET OFF ME!!" Kripa yells, "WHAT!!" Angad laughs "Joke joke…I'm sorry!" Kripa says, "Hmph!!" Angad says while getting up, "Come on lets go to the canteen!!" They make their way towards the canteen and catch up with Kavya, Anjali, Neev, and Prachi. They all sit down and just relax. Josh and Aaliya come to the table and announce that they are all going clubbing at night. After college, they all go home and change to go to the club. Kripa and Anjali wear sleek black dresses, and Prachi wears a black salwar suit. Angad, Kavya, and Neev wear ripped jeans with tight fitted shirts and jackets. Kavya, Anjali, Neev, Prachi, and Kripa leave in the guys' cars and meet Josh and Aaliya there.

Josh and Aaliya are busy with each other on the dance floor. Kavya asks Anjali for a dance and after lots of persuasion she finally agrees. Anjali is starts to feel something towards Kavya; she didn't know what but the things that used to annoy her are now things she sort of enjoys, such as his irritating behavior towards her. Although she would try to deny it to herself, but she is starting to realize that she didn't know what she would do if he wasn't there.  

They dance in perfect harmony, both feeling this attraction towards one another. Kavya keeps staring at Anjali while she tries to avoid his constant gaze. She feels like she has millions of butterflies fluttering in her stomach and feels quite nervous under his gaze. She turns her head to look to the side. Suddenly someone bumps into Anjali and causing her to smack into Kavya's muscular body. She grabs hold of him to avoid a fall. Kavya is looking into the frightened expression on her face with her eyes tightly shut as if expecting to hit the floor. When she finally realizes that she wouldn't, she opens her eyes and finds a pair of passionate eyes looking back at her. He pulls her up and continued to dance the night away, with a sly smirk on his face, while Anjali tries to suppress these new unwanted feelings.

**********

Neev sees this girl in a halter and short skirt, he cant' stop staring. Prachi asks, "Neev wanna dance?" Suddenly Prachi notices him lost and follows his gaze to the girl and says, "Neev stop staring at her like that" he replies still looking at the girl, "What? Oh umm what were you saying?" Prachi asks again, "Wanna dance?" There is no reply from Neev only the sound of laughter, "T..tu..tum aur dance HAHAHA" Prachi on the other hand doesn't find him the least bit amusing, "Kyun?" He goes on to explain, "Prachi, this is club dancing aur tum, you would never dance that way! Sorry babe the truth hurts" and with that he leaves.

Neev walks towards the girl from before and taps her on the shoulder and asks her for a dance. The song is quite fast paced.  The girl is like all over Neev, and Prachi is just bewildered at the sight. She always knew he had girlfriends, but had never seen this side of him. Suddenly a guy comes and asks Prachi for a dance. At this point the only thing that replays in her mind is "you would never dance that way…"

Prachi is completely outraged that Neev would say such a thing to her, so out of spite she says yes. The song playing happens to be Aafreen Tera Chehra from the movie Red. Neev sees Prachi come towards the dance floor with some guy. Neev doesn't like this one bit. He ignores it and goes back to dancing thinking that it is her life and she seems quite adamant to prove Neev wrong. Prachi and the guy are dancing pretty close and Prachi's eyes never leave Neev's while dancing, as if trying to prove her point. Every time the guy would touch Prachi, Neev would wince in pain. It is as if the guy is ruining her purity. Neev can't take it anymore; his eyes express anger that Prachi would allow this stranger to touch her so. Suddenly Prachi becomes really aware of how the guy is touching her and she is trying to fight him off of her. She tries to leave the dance floor, but the guy just keeps pulling her back. Neev saw this and turns the guy around and punches him in the face, he raises his finger and says, "Don't you dare touch her!!" Prachi clings to Neev as if clinging on to her dear life. Neev pulls Prachi off the dance floor and begins his interrogation. "Kya zuroorat thi yeh sab karni ki huh??" All Prachi did is cling to Neev even more and cry her heart out. Neev couldn't take it anymore and told the others he is taking Prachi home. He pulls Prachi outside and calms her down and then drops her home.
