Third Person's Pov

"I'll give you the dare" Ishan said looking cheekily at Hardik as the six of them were playing truth or dare while sitting in the cafeteria as they were told to wait after the college hours for their extra classes but as usual they didn't even bothered to find their partners for the classes.

"You have to get on this table and do belly dance for a minute" Ishan said and Hardik looked at him horrified as he said, "Bhai please! I have a fan following here"

"Shut up and do it Harry!" Rishabh said and they all nodded while Hardik was reluctant to do it but still got up as they all shifted away from the table and Hardik climbed up on it.

Everyone in the cafeteria now only had attention on Hardik as Arshita played a song for him and he started doing his weird belly dance, while they all couldn't stop laughing.

Finally after a minute Hardik came down from the table while everyone was still laughing and he gave them a look.

"Stop laughing you idiots! Mai muh dikhane layak nhi rha" Hardik said and they all laughed more, after that Rishabh spinned the bottle again and this time it landed on Arshita's side.

"Oops! This damn bottle!" Arshita said and they all looked at her while Manish smiled widely as he said, "I'll give you the dare!"

"I didn't even chose between truth or dare yet" Arshita said making a face and Manish patted her head saying, "But I'm giving it to you so you have to choose dare only, and your dare is to go and steal loudspeaker's specs from the staffroom!"

"Are you crazy? Why me? Why am I always connected with that loudspeaker?" Arshita asked giving a puppy face look and Manish just shooked his head in denial saying, "You have to do it!"

"Kyuki Arshu tera usse hai pehle ka nata koi!" Rishabh said and she just hitted his arm while they all laughed as Tanya said, "Go on, we'll cheer for you! Come back wearing his glasses only"

"Fine fine I'm going" Arshita said as she got up and they all waited there at the table. She walked upto the staffroom which was supposed to be empty at this moment and it fortunately was as she went in silently.

Arshita looked around as she walked upto the table of Mr.Khurana where his stuff was kept and searched for his glasses, she found them in the drawer down the table and picked it up immediately when she heard someone's voice outside the room and immediately hid under the table when the door got opened. She slowly peeped from their and saw Shubman standing there looking around, Arshita sighed as she got up and dusted off her clothes while Shubman looked at her startled as she got up from the under the table.

"I was being scared without any reason" She said making a face and Shubman pointed his finger at her as he asked confused, "You... What were... you doing there?"

"Just something, you don't need to know! Bye see you later partner" Arshita said as she was going out but as soon as she opened the door just a little bit, she saw Mr.Khurana walking towards the room.

"Fuck! I'm gone! Just hide" Arshita said as she immediately left the door and held Shubman's arm as she pulled him towards the other backdoor and they both hid behind it standing close to each other.

Shubman looked at her widening his eyes as they were standing really close and Arshita was still holding onto his arm tightly as if he would run away.

"What are you doing? Why are we hiding?" Shubman asked her and she gave him a glare as Mr.Khurana was finding something on his table as she murmured to him, "I can't get caught! If her sees me I'm done! Just stand still okay you dare not move from here or I'll take you down with me too"

"Are you threatening me?" Shubman asked and she looked at him angrily as she banged her head slowly behind in anger and a book fell down, Mr.Khurana looked in that direction.

"Can you shut up if you don't want to get caught?" Shubman murmured slowly as he came forward not leaving any space between them and keeping a hand on her mouth to stop her from speaking while she made a face as she had banged her head a little more with force, Shubman looked at her face and the next moment bought his other hand up as he rubbed the back of her head slowly and Arshita looked at him forgetting how to breathe for a moment.

"I think I left my specs in the class" Mr.Khurana said to himself as he finally walked out of the classroom and Shubman sighed in relief as he removed his hand from Arshita's mouth and got away from her whereas she still stood there lost.

"Hey breathe or you'll die" Shubman said and she finally let out a breathe as she gave him one last look, "Who told you to close my mouth? I couldn't even breathe" She said sighing as she walked out of the staffroom and Manish was standing there already.

"Finally you're out, what took you so long? I just came now because you weren't coming back" Manish said but Arshita was busy looking back because Shubman was inside and she couldn't help but feel weird about that closeness!

"What? Where are you lost?" Manish asked her and she looked at him saying, "Nothing! Here are his glasses! Happy"

"Wow! You did it" Manish said chuckling and Arshita shrugged her shoulder giving a proud look when Shubman came out of the staffroom from behind and Manish looked at him as he asked, "Why was he in there?"

"You don't need to know! I don't tell you everywhere I go" Shubman said giving him a look when Mr.Khurana came back and saw the three of them in front of the staffroom, so he asked, "Why are you all here? Shouldn't you be taking classes right now?"

"Yes sir I was trying to find her only" Shubman said pointing at Arshita and she nodded her head saying, "Yes sir I was finding him too"

"Really?" Manish asked and they all looked at each other when Mr.Khurana spoke up, "Fine fine! Go and take your classes, Manish go and find your partner too"

Manish just nodded uninterested as Mr.Khurana went inside the classroom and Shubman looked at Arshita while saying, "Let's go!"

"I wasn't being serious about it!" Arshita said making a face and Shubman sighed as he said, "But I am, so let's go or your favourite teacher is just a door away"

"Are you threatening her?" Manish asked coming forward and Shubman gave him a blank look as he said, "No I'm trying to get my work done and see you guys as less as I could"

"Fine fine! I'll go but just because my dad also asked me to do this, don't you feel honored" Arshita said to Shubman and Manish sighed while nodding his head while Shubman just shooked his head.

"I'll meet you later, hum hai raahi pyaar ke phir milenge chalte chalte" Manish said making a sad face and Arshita laughed while walking away with Shubman not before saying, "Shut up Manu, go!"

Arshita and Shubman walked upto the library silently as Shubman was still angry over whatever had happened because of the freshers party while Arshita was already sleepy on the name of studies.

They reached the library and sat face to face in the seats at a corner as Shubman started opening the book and Arshita just sat with the least interested look on her face.

"Read this and tell me if you can't understand" Shubman said handing her the book and the next moment she yawned and said, "You read it and explain please, I'm already sleepy!"

Shubman sighed as she shooked his head and took the book back and started explaining her the topic while Arshita kept looking at him keeping her hands under her chin, for the first time just focusing.

"Can you stop looking at me, look at the book" Shubman said after a moment and Arshita gave him a look as she said, "I'm trying to focus here"

"Focus while looking on the book, I can't focus if someone is staring at me" Shubman said looking here and there as he scratched the back of his neck and Arshita smirked as she asked, "Wait! Are you blushing? Did a girl stared at you for the first time?"

"What the hell? Just focus okay" Shubman said giving her a look and Arshita made a face, "Then I also can only focus when I look at the person who's teaching" she said smiling cheekily as she once again kept her hands under her chin and Shubman sighed as he passed the book to her and got up saying, "Just try to learn this, I need to find a book I need!"

Arshita just took the book making a face as Shubman walked towards the books section and was trying to find the book he wanted.

Meanwhile on the other side Shriya and Ishan were also in the library as she was also supposed to teach him, they were standing near the shelf as Shriya was trying to find a book and Ishan was following her around trying to talk which she didn't wanted to as she was also angry because of whatever happened.

"Can you stop talking? I'm not even replying" Shriya said getting annoyed and Ishan smiled cheekily as he said, "You did just now, what are we studying by the way? Don't tell me it's maths, I've never cooperated since birth with whoever tried to teach me maths"

"Can you shut up? God knows why I'm stuck here with you!" Shriya said as she turned to find a book while Ishan couldn't stop smiling as he was looking at her glad to be finally be with her when no one from their groups are around.

It was getting harder for him day by day to pretend to hate her or revenge her because of everything between the groups because whatever the situation be, he was still falling for her more and more since the first day he saw her.

"What are you staring at?" Shriya asked suddenly as she turned to him and Ishan came in front of her saying, "Your face!"

Shriya looked at him as he stepped closer to her and she stepped a bit back as her back hitted the book shelf, she looked down because of Ishan standing so close to her as she said, "What.... are you... doing?"

"I'm trying to help you, you can't reach the book you want right?" Ishan said as he raised his hand still standing close to her as he pulled out the book from the top shelf which Shriya had been trying to get out, he held Shriya's hand as he kept the book on her palm while she was still staring at his face.

"What are you both upto?" They both heard a voice and looked to their right to find Shubman looking at them with a weird look, so they immediately got away from each other looking here and there.

"No.. Nothing! I was just finding a book! Byee I need to go" Shriya said taking the book from Ishan's hand as she walked away and Shubman looked at Ishan while he just gave out a cheeky smile and waved at him, "Hi! Bye!" He said as he also walked in the different direction and Shubman just stood there still confused because of their extreme close positions as he shooked his head murmuring to himself while he was reminded of what happened in the staffroom earlier, "That was a really familiar position"

"God, now these people are really getting in my head! Stop thinking about them Shub! Why am I talking to myself now?" Shubman said as he just sighed and pulled out the book that he was finding as he walked back to the table where Arshita was supposed to be studying according to him but he saw something different.

The book was kept wide open while Arshita was sleeping keeping her head on it peacefully forgetting about her surroundings!

"How am I supposed to teach a sleeping person now?" Shubman murmured as he sat in front of her and opened the book that he had brought to read. He looked up for a moment while reading as he saw that the sun rays were directing falling on Arshita's face as they were beside the window, he looked at her face for a moment silently and then bought his hand up keeping it in front of her eyes stopping the rays from disturbing her and just like that he went back to reading again with his hand in the air.

Arshita's Pov

I opened my eyes slowly as I shifted because of the uncomfortable position I was in on the damned chair and table when I saw a hand in front of my eyes and that's when I realised that I had been sleeping in the library. I held the hand as I raised my head and Shubman looked up from his book.

"I told you I was sleepy, how long did I slept?" Arshita asked him and Shubman closed his book as he said after looking at his watch, "One hour!"

"Really? Okay!" Arshita said nodding her head and Shubman kept looking at her as she was still holding his hand, so he said, "My hand!"

Arshita looked at his hand which she was holding, and then immediately left it as she realised it. She got up front the chair and Shubman looked at her as she said, "Well bye! I'm going"

"But you didn't even studied much" Shubman said and she gave him a look while saying, "But the time is up, so see you later"

She turned and walked over before he could say anything else when suddenly she stopped and turned over her shoulder saying, "Shubman! Thank you"

Shubman looked at her as she smiled slightly and then finally walked away, while a small smile came upto his face unknowingly as he couldn't help but try to find the reason of finding himself worrying for her who's actually supposed to be him enemy!

Why did he let her sleep? Why did he stopped the sun from disturbing her? Why couldn't he get angry at her for not studying? All these questions kept lingering at the back of his head. What was it that was stopping him from doing all this when he was supposed to be angry but just because of some unknown reason he wasn't able to!
