Chapter 3
"Sharon!" Swayam called out to her as he saw her walking in a furious way.
Sharon turned to look at him and sighed mentally.
"What is it now?"she responded.
"And, what is my pen doing with you?"she continued.
"I had borrowed the pen from you" he finally uttered.
"Ok, so are you looking for a suitable time so that you can give me the pen?"
"Wow!!Calm down young lady..I know you don't have a nice project partner..But because of that, please don't pour all your anger on me." Swayam said.
"One second, how do you know that I don't like her?" Sharon enquired.
"Its written on your face." Swayam replied.
"What the hell?Cant you give a straight answer?"
"My lady..I have already mastered the art of face reading.." Swayam was enjoying troubling her.
"Shut up..I am not your lady..And how do you know that I don't like her?"Sharon wanted to know.
"Ok fine, enough of fun..actually Sharon..the way you look at her..Its quite evident that you want to rip her neck off.And why is that?Are you jealous of her?"
"Hey you..whatever is your name ..Sharon Rai Prakash is not jealous of anyone...And I don't have any reason to be jealous of anyone..She is just a bit annoying.." Sharon spoke.
"Swayam, Swayam Shekhawat..Its my name..Get your facts right..And try to memorize things quickly.."
"I remember things that are important for me.. You and. Your name is not important for me to keep in mind..If you are done with wasting my time, can you please leave?"
"Why should I??"
"Because, you are wasting my time!"
"I am not" Swayam replied coyly.
"How can you say that?"
"Because, you would have left way earlier then...And you are still talking to me..Which means that I am not wasting your time..Now please excuse me, I have to start working on my project because I don't want to flunk it, unlike you.."
Saying this, he put his earphones in his ears and started walking.
Sharon was highly irritated by his nonchalant behavior...
"How can he!!Does he even have any idea that he was talking to Sharon Rai Prakash!!To me..!!!Swayam..showing off his attitude, was he??And what else was he telling??I was liking the way he was talking..What the hell!!Is he weirdly insane??"Sharon was highly irritated.
"But wasn't it the truth?"her innervoice spoke??"
"You liked it when he came to give you your pen, didn't you??"
"What rubbish??"Sharon denied it.
"Oh please.."her innervoice continued.
"Just shut up now, will you.."Sharon's face was turning red.
With that expression on her face, she continued walking.

"Amazing house, Rey" Swayam was amazed on seeing the vast house.
"You are lucky, dude." Swayam continued.
""Uhmm..Not really.."Rey began.
"Why?"
"I want to pursue dance as a career and dad wants me to join our family business. Heard about Singhania group of industries, have you?"
"Yeah..obviously..Mr. Aditya Singhania??He is one of the leading business tycoons of India..Mahn..he is my inspiration.
"Yeah..?He is my father.."Rey spoke half heartedly.
"You know, I am interested in dance too.."Swayam tried to cheer him up.
"Are you?" Rey's face lit up.
"Yup. As a matter of fact, I won the freestyle national championship, in 2011."
"Wow!!Thats awesome..And you still look up to my dad?"
"Yeah..Thats because...I don't want to pursue dance as a career.."Swayam said.
"Oh..ok.."
"Rey!!Is your father at home,now?" Swayam asked excitedly.
"No..He is out on a business tour..He'll return after 1 or 2 weeks, I guess.."
"Oh..fine.. I wanted to meet him.."
"Hard luck.."
"Yeah..I guess..Shall we go inside??"
"yeah..Sorry..I forgot to ask about it..Lets go.."

Sharon's cell phone was making a loud obnoxious sound. Hesitantly, she picked it up
"What is it,Kriya?"
"Sharon..Both of us know that we are not happy with our partners..And we cant even change them..So, its better if one of us does the project.."Kriya began.
"Why don't you tell me that you want me to do the work?"
"Yeah..!!You are clever..You don't look though..."
"So that you can take all the credit??No thank you.."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Its better if we do the project together..I am coming to your place right now.."
"What??Now??No, come to college early tomorrow morning..and then we'll start it.."
"Fine..Now bye.."
Sharon disconnected the call..
"How can someone be so irritating and loud?" Sharon mumbled to herself..
_______________________
Swayam was having fun with Rey. While working on the project they picked up a conversation.
"So, you and Sharon??Huh??From how long?"Swayam began.
"1 and a half year" Rey replied with a slight smile.
"Wow..cool!!Its awesome, the most popular boy of the college with the most popular girl..Great.."Swayam added.
"Not really.."
"Why?"
"Well, I have my own reasons to say that.."Rey said.
"Hmm...okay.."
"So, you have one?"Rey asked Swayam.
"One what?" Swayam questioned him.
"Girlfriend of course."
"Girl friends and all are not my cup of tea."Swayam said.
"Oh really??Dont say that now..You'll have to change your decision very soon...You'll realize it when you actually fall in love with someone.."Rey said.
"Whatever Rey..Can we just stop this discussion now??Remember we have a project to complete??Actually, its late now...I'll get going..We'll continue tomorrow..ok?"
"Yeah. Your place tomorrow?"
"No..We'll do it here."
"Why?"
"Rey don't ask questions now..Not my house.."
"Ok.."
"Bye then.." Swayam got up and prepared to leave.
"Bye" Rey said as Swayam opened the door to get out of the room.
Rey's phone started ringing.
It was Sharon.
"Hey Shar.." Rey said sounding happy.
"Hey Rey.." Sharon said from the other end.
"Whats up??You sound sad.."
"Why wouldn't I??Kriya Ghai is my project partner."
"Sharon, I know you hate her but trust me ..She is not bad..In fact she is a really good and trustworthy friend."
"I know..Flirting with other's boyfriend is not bad, is it??"
"How can I help it if I look good Sharon?"
"Yeah you cant..You know what, I called you up because I thought that you would at least talk to me and say something nice..But you are doing exactly the opposite..Wow!!"
"Sharon..No.."
"I don't need any explanation Rey..Bye!!"
"Sharon.."
Sharon had already hung him up..
"Does anyone think normally like me?In the morning that Kriya, then Rey and then Swayam...What the hell!!One second, why the hell am I even thinking about that new guy Swayam??"Sharon mumbled to herself.
