Third Person's Pov

It was finally the day for their first exam as everyone reached the college on time which just happens on the days of exams!

"For the first time in my life I want to pass this exam because dad is so angry after whatever happened since the scholars came" Arshita said as they all were walking inside ready for their first exam.

"And here I'm seeing you so dedicated for the first time" Manish said slinging an arm around her shoulders and she gave him a look when Ishan said, "Maine pehli baar extra classes kari but I still don't remember anything"

"Tu apni neend puri krle pehle, teri shakal dekh ke lagta hai jaise bhut saalo se soya nhi hai" Hardik said hitting his head while Ishan just made a face and yawned the next moment, "I guess you were right" Ishan said and they all laughed.

"Jo bhi ho, cheating krana mat bhulna guys" Tanya said making puppy eyes and Rishabh laughed while saying, "Babyy cheating tab krenge na jab kuch aata hoga humme se kisi ko bhi"

"Point hai Rishu" Manish said and he nodded while they all reached the hall where everyone was already seated accordingly and Mr.Khurana turned to the door as he spoke up, "Wow you all are in time, I never thought that I'd be able to see this sight"

"I know right, even we're surprised sir" Ishan said smilingly and sir just gave him a look while everyone else was laughing.

"Shut and go take your seats" Mr.Khurana said to them and they all finally settled on their seats.

"Even the exams are a joke for them, inhe classes deke mujhe exams pe taras aa rha hai" Shubman said shaking his head and Shriya nodded too as she spoke up from behind, "I know right! Idiots"

"Hey you're a great teacher and I'm a great cheater, so help me okay" Hardik said to Manjot and he just gave him a weird look saying, "Never!"

"Baby you gave an awesome answer that day, you'll have to tell me all of answers the today" Rishabh said tapping Tanya's shoulder and she made a face, "That was just a guess, otherwise thanks to my teacher that I don't remember anything" she said and they all laughed while Mayank just gave her a look as he was her teacher.

"Leave them Manku, they won't understand a word even if you teach them for a whole year" Nikita said and Ishan laughed from behind while saying, "It's a relief that you know, how bad teachers you all are"

"Excuse me, can you focus on and let focus on the exam right now?" Shriya said turning to him and Ishan went silent as he murmured a small sorry and Manish looked at him in shock as he asked, "Sorry? When was the last time we used that word Ishan? Usme ek baar bola aur tu chup?"

"Just because it's exam warna you know na" Ishan said trying to cover up and he just nodded when Arshita tried to peep in Shubman's paper and he glared at her saying, "Stop it"

"I was just trying to know today's date" Arshita said and he gave her a 'are you serious' look.

"Tell me too! The date" Abhishek asked Shubman turning back as he was in the front and Arshita laughed while Shubman gave him a blank look while saying, "You too Abhay?"

"Ho jata hai yaar, it's normal" Abhishek said and Arshita nodded her head as she gave out a cheeky smile saying, "Exactly! Only you're the one who think it's abnormal of us to ask the date"

"Fine it's 23rd! January, I thought you guys must've forgotten the month too, should I also tell the year?" Shubman said giving a look to both of them and they just looked away ignoring his taunts.

"Sassiness doesn't suite you" Manish said chuckling from behind and Shubman sighed as he turned back and said, "I know right! It suites people like you, so keep it up"

"Fine fine! Students keep your mouths on a pause and just focus on your exam, best of luck all of you" Mr.Khurana said as he finally distributed the exam sheets and the murmurs went down as everyone focused on their exam.

Ishan's Pov

Finally! Finally we were free after a whole damn week of these irritating exams. But it was going to be another long day because it was the result day!

"Yarr mai kya kehta hu aaj bunk maarte hai" Hardik said and we all looked at him as we were entering the college late as always because we didn't wanted to know the result, they would be the same as always.

"Haa taki loudspeaker hum log ke result seedhe office me le jaye right?" Arshita asked him and Hardik just made a face, "Trustee father hone ka kabhi kabhi nuksaan bhi hota hai" Rishabh said and we all laughed.

"Mere toh ghar pe bhi principal office wala atmosphere rehta hai kabhi kabhi" Manish said and we chuckled as I patted his back saying, "We pity you"

"Let's go we have to face this, because results never pity us" Tanya said and we all laughed as finally went towards our class where obviously Mr.Khurana was standing ready with the results in his hand.

"Welcome welcome! Late comers! Thank you for finally arriving" Mr.Khurana said and Arshita smiled widely as she replied, "It's our pleasure sir"

Mr.Khurana just gave her a look as he signalled all of us to take our seats, so that he could tell results and we did so!

"Okay first of all it's very obvious that my very new students have topped the exams! I'm glad you students are a part of my batch" Mr.Khurana said patting Shubman's back and the six of them stood up smilingly as sir handed them the results.

"I'm so proud of you all, keep studying like this" Mr.Khurana said and they nodded as Shubman said, "Thank you so much sir"

After that he distributed the other students' results too and then finally came our turn, "And now I'm not too glad but happy to see that some of you have improved a bit than earlier" Mr.Khurana said and we all looked at him confused as he picked up our results and handed them to us saying, "Though you all failed once again but I'm not angry because there is a very little bit improvement because of your tuitions partners, so thank them"

"Thank my foot" Manish murmured and we chuckled when Hardik and Arshita shouted suddenly startling all of us, "What the hell?"

"I know, I was going to tell that only" Mr.Khurana said and we all looked at him as he added, "Arshita and Hardik, you both atleast passed one subject for the first time, good work"

"What? Badtameez log? Tumlog alag se koi tution le rhe the kya? Traitors!" Rishabh said making a face and I nodded my head as I said, "Seriously I can't believe this, how can you guys betray us?"

"Congrats Harry" Arshita said grinning as she shook hands with Hardik ignoring our questions!

"Congrats Arshu aaj toh party banti hai" Hardik said and we all just made a face as they both kept on getting happy when Mr.Khurana said, "You both are still in the class so shut up and sit back on your seats"

We sat back on our seats when I looked at my result and I had actually improved a bit even if I failed as always, I looked to my right and my eyes met with Shriya who was on the next seat as she was already looking at me.

I smiled at her slightly as she kept looking at me and then looked away suddenly with a blank face. I just sighed as I kept my head on the desk while murmuring, "Why does she always looks at me so coldly?"

"What? You feel cold?" Tanya asked me and I gave her a weird look and just shooked my head while she shrugged her shoulders.

After sometime we all were sitting in the cafeteria eating and talking, while Hardik and Arshita couldn't stop looking at their results grinning like idiots when Hardik spoke up, "I have an idea, aaj mai sbko party dunga! I'm really happy today"

"Woww really let's go to a club" Rishabh said happily and we all agreed when I looked around and found Shriya going out of the cafeteria, it's been so long since I fell for her! Which actually happened at first sight only, and now I couldn't wait anymore to tell her about my feelings! I don't know what her reaction would be but I wasn't able to hold it in anymore so I just need to tell her. I just hope that she doesn't hate me because of all these fights! She's too cute to be angry!

I suddenly got up from the chiar and everyone looked at me confused so I just showed out my pinky finger and they all pushed me away making faces, I immediately ran out from the cafeteria and looked around to find Shriya going towards the class.

I ran upto her and stopped her as I came and stood in her way, she looked at me confused when I suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards an empty classroom.

"What are you doing?" She asked confused widening her eyes and I replied, "I need to tell you something"

We came inside the classroom as I made her stand behind the door and stood in front of her while she was still looking at me with wide eyes, and I just realized that she looked more beautiful up close!

"What... are —" she was asking when I kept my finger on her lips and she stopped as I took a deep breathe and spoke up, "I know this will be shocking for you, or maybe not! But I really want to tell you that you're extremely beautiful!" I said and she looked at me without any word.

"What am I saying? Focus" I murmured to myself as I again looked at her and said, "I want to say that I fell for you! I fell for you the day I saw you for the first time. Everytime I look at you my heart beats a little faster and I just can't look away from you, I never really wanted to get into a fight with you or your group but it just happened that way, and that still didn't stopped my feeling for you! I really really like you Shriya and this is really genuine, this is not any prank or fight or anything else"

"I like you and that's it, I'm not asking you to say anything right now, you don't need to give an answer right away but I just wanted to tell you about it! You can tell me anytime you want okay! I'll.... Wait... For you!" I said and she stood there still staring at my face as she finally took a deep breathe and asked slowly,"Can I take some time... I don't.. Know... I" She was saying and I nodded my head immediately as I said, "Of course! Of course you can! You can take as much time as you want, I won't rush"

She nodded her head as she immediately turned and left the classroom while I sighed in relief murmuring to myself, "Thank God! Finally, finally I did it! I was so nervous, I'm glad she didn't slapped me!"

Arshita's Pov

After having lunch we all were going back to class when my phone rang and I looked at it to find dad calling. I told everyone to go ahead as I stopped in the backyards talked to dad as I told him about the results and he was obviously happy about it. As I hung up the call and turned to go back to the class I saw cute puppies in a corner. They looked so cute that I couldn't resist myself as I immediately walked upto them and sat down smiling widely.

"Aww come here baby" I murmured as I picked up one of them and it snuggled more into my hand as I again spoke up, "You're so cute, unlike that idiotic dog what was it's name.... Yeah.. Lisa baby, she barked at so much at me"

"Really?" Someone spoke up from behind and I turned to find Shubman standing there and he was smiling a bit, I guess he heard what I said!

"Were you insulting my Lisa baby right now?" He asked and I sticked my tongues out as I put the puppy back and got up as I turned to him, "Uhh... I didn't lie though, what does she even have against me?"

"Maybe that you always annoy her dad" Shubman said and I gave him a weird look, "You? Dad?" I asked while laughing a bit and he just shooked his head as he turned to leave when I shouted his name from behind, "Shubman!"

He stopped as he turned to look over his shoulder and I smiled a bit as I said, "I wanted to thank you"

"Really you know how to say that? What for?" Shubman asked me and I gave him a glare so he just said, "Okay fine! Thank me then!"

"Thank you!" I said slowly and he turned as he stood in front of me saying, "What? I didn't hear it! Can you say it again?"

"No! I won't! It's just because you helped me and I actually passed in one subject! I'm happy" I said and he just looked at me, "Okay okay fine! I suffered a lot but the outcome isn't that bad, I didn't knew you were this capable"

"Excuse me! I am much more capable, but I just don't try! It's no fun! I can even top in the exams and outdo you! You'll feel bad then" I said and he gave me a look but then his face broke into a grin and I looked at him amused as I chuckled saying, "Ohh you smile too!"

He immediately stopped smiling and I shooked my head laughingly as he went away and I stood there because I saw him smiling like this for the first time and that was actually one of the most unexpected and beautiful smiles I've ever seen!!
