Hello! Samaira here…

Episode 2:

I was becoming the hot topic of our university. Wherever I went people would rather stare me. And if I was the two-months-ago-Ragini I would’ve literally freaked out by the amount of dating proposals I’m getting. Like whaat! Since the starting of the day I’ve been asked 7 times to go on a date.

They would ask me to go for a date and I obviously wore a bored expression and dismiss them. Seriously I’m not into dates. I’ve lost interests in relationships and I cannot care less. Misha would eye me and ask me to accept the offer. Me being me rejected the offer in the coldest way possible. What happens when you go on a date, the person ask you to be his girlfriend than what he ditches you and scream at you and speak those words you hardly expected to be heard from his mouth. No! I’ve had all of this before now I just can’t have more.

“Rage! I’m talking to you. Stop zoning out” Misha shouted at me and then I realised how I was busy in talking with myself that I haven’t heard her.

“This isn’t called zoning out. This is called ignorance” I lied. Though I zoned out but I won’t let her know that. She huffed in reply. Rehaan laughed at my comment.

“True. True.” Rehaan said between his laugh.

We were currently enjoying our recess in university’s cafeteria. This time whole of the university is here and basically staring us or me. My makeover was hard to handle. Of course me and Laksh were the talk of the town. Our relationship was so famous. They thought boys like him cannot date girls like me and guess what they were correct. I can understand what’s going on in their mind. Since morning I barely glanced at him and he on the other hand was staring me or glaring me. Nothing was spoken between us and our friends are the only one who has kept us together. On the other hand I want this to happen, I don’t want to show by any means I care or have any type of feelings for him. I just cannot.

“Hello Boyfriend!” The familiar voice was heard. I hated this voice as much as I hated vegetables. And wait what!? Boyfriend? When did this happened? I’m guessing they are an item now.

Seems to me he already moved on.

“Hey Priya!” Laksh replied with a smile on his face. When the hell she became Priya from Priyanka.

Confused? Well let me introduce her. She’s Priyanka Malhotra, the girl I hate with a passion. The main reason for my breakup with Laksh.

She came towards us wearing a little piece of cloth. She sat on Laksh’s lap and kissed him on his mouth and he too kissed her back. Everyone except Laksh watched me but I kept a blank expression and behaved like the thing which is happening infront of my eyes doesn’t matters. I was strong enough to let this affect me.

Soon after the kiss Priyanka left us in peace. Instantly, Laksh’s eyes flickered to mine and connected with me. The same brown eyes I fell for. But I could see emptiness, longingness, lonliness in those eyes. Have I mentioned I’ve changed my eyes’ colour to blue, my favourite colour. Few months back I was a open book for Laksh and he could read me from my eyes but now I can sense how tough it would be for him to recognise what’s going inside me b’coz I’ve become a mystery for others.

“Rage you should go on a date with them. The hottest boys have asked you. What else would you want?” Misha stated using her hands. True, the hottest boys of the university have asked me for a date. What else would I want? I do. I can get many dates, I can get many people to spend the night with but what I won’t be getting would be the love which I have always want in my life.

“I agree. I’ll go with them than what?” I asked cocking a brow at her. She seems to be taken aback with my question. But she took no time in covering up.

“Go out with him. Be his girlfriend” She said nonetheless. I again cocked a brow which said ‘Then WHAT?’ “Marry him!” She suddenly said. Everyone’s eyes were on me including my friends. But I seemed to be unaffected with her statement. I shrugged and took a sip of my coffee. “Have babies!” She said again sheepishly. From the corner of eyes I could see Laksh shifting uncomfortably. Don’t tell me he was going all possessive about me having a child or getting married. Does this affect him?

Of course not!

“Seriously! This was the best you can come up with? Be his girlfriend, marry him and most ironic ‘have kids’.” Like whaat!

“Look…” Misha began but my glare stopped her midway. “Never mind I said anything”

I smirked at her statement. She gave up. I won the argument.

“Guyz! Save it. We have a class to attend.” Arjun most sensible of all dismissed the argument.

I gave Misha a victory grin which didn’t went unnoticed by others while she scoffed. I gathered my belongings and went ahead to the class with the gang.

It was the end of university and we proceeded towards the parking lot.

“Attention everyone!” Abhi the most dramatical one called out for us. He had our undivided attention. “Look we’ve alot to catch up-”

“And we’re tired as hell” I interrupted him.

“Woah! From when did you started swearing” Rahul said with surprising tone. I rolled my eyes at him. He was right. I didn’t liked swearing back then. Whole group cussed hell even Arjun did too but I was quite shy to do it. But than I thought I’m giving myself a makeover then my attitude should change too.

“-and we need to do this today and we can have a type of sleepover. What say?” Abhi continued completely ignoring me and Rehaan.

“I’m up for it” Misha squealed. And after sometime everyone gave in including me.

“Perfect! But there is a problem. We need a house. My fatty aunt has arrived and she has taken whole house for herself. Any house available?”

“Mom is hosting a kitty party so no”

“My brother is sick and he won’t be able to take the high music so no”

“There is a party at our floor so no”

“Sleepovers and parties only on weekends not on weekdays so no”

“My dad is throwing a party so no”

The first one was from Arjun, second from Misha third from Twins who lived in flat, fourth from Rehaan and fifth from Laksh. His father usually threw parties as he was a public figure. He is a huge businessman. But guess what you’ll be happy to know that I’ve left him back. My company’s turnover is much more than his company’s.

Everyone looked at me with hope filled in their eyes. I had no problem in inviting them on a sleepover. But if I agree that means Laksh is going to be there too.

C’mon Ragini you can do this. If you can study with him for rest of the year than you can do this too.

“No worries we can use my place” I said in low voice enough for them to hear.

“Ok then half of you in Rage’s car and half of you in mine” Rehaan said. From far I can recognise his car which was parked beside mine.

I proceeded towards my car and unlocked it, opened the door and just when I was about to sit Misha spoke.

“Holy Shit!”

I looked at her, she looked like she saw her pregnancy reports which were positive. My gaze flickered over to boys who watched me with same expressions.

“What?” I asked in annoyed voice.

“Is that f**king Lamborghini” She asked in a startled voice. I nodded.

“Since when did you get so much pocket money?” She asked in disbelief.

Pocket money. Yeah right!
