---»★«---

All four went to their classes. Zoya went first and reserved a place for Aaditya having no choice left Ritika and Satvik sat together. She was silent so he thought of starting a conversation as a professor was not in the class.

"Ritika, are you okay?"

"Yeah! Why are you asking?" she answered coldly.

"If you want to beat me you can but please don't be sulking on your very first." he giggled.

"I'm not sulking." she replied with a frown.

"Okay then tell something about you. Where are you from?" he asked cheerfully.

"Why should I tell you about me? You are a mere classmate for me, not my friend." she conceded.

"Let's become friends then. What's say?" he continued as he raised one eyebrow.

"Satvik we just met and I don't make friends easily. My friendship is not so easy." she replied coldly thinking about her childhood memories.

That reply of hers disappointed Satvik. He was extending his hands for just friendship not he was proposing to her but her voice showed some kind of hurt. Yes, he had pranked her but was this girl hurt because of that?

No, any girl had ever rejected him either they were chasing him but he never gave them a damn look and this girl rejected his friendship.

He didn't want to look desperate in front of her so he ignored her and was talking with Aaditya who was seating in front of them.

"Bro let me remind you once again that I can't come today for basketball practice." said Aaditya.

"Oh shit!! That just left out of my mind, thanks for telling me again!" Satvik replied sarcastically.

"You play basketball?" Ritika asked excitedly with a shine in her eyes.

"Well, he is the captain of the basketball team." Zoya revelled.

Ritika loved basketball. She was about to say something but the professor came and all went silent.

As soon as the lecture got over Ritika asked Aaditya about the girls' basketball team and to her dismay he replied that Satvik was in charge of the girls' team as he is the best player and the coach trust him a lot. Aditya left Ritika with Zoya and went to the library.

She was very passionate about basketball even she was the captain of the basketball team in her previous college.

"Well!! I'm willing to be a part of the team so can you please take me to coach. I'll ask him directly." she asked Zoya.

"Rits, darling! talk to Satvik he will introduce you to coach and team." said Zoya in an overly sweet tone.

Satvik heard his name from Zoya's mouth and interrupted them.

"I heard someone talking about me?"

"Satvik, Rits is interesting in basketball and I told her to talk to you that's it." said Zoya.

'Ohh so Rits is interested in basketball, interesting' Satvik said to himself.

"Ohh! Then what's the matter Rits oops RITIKA?" he asked her by giving more pressure on each word.

"Um.. well I want to be a part of the team so I will talk to the coach directly."

"Okay then come to the ground after 15 days as the coach is on leave dear." he answered.

"Oh come on Rits go with him he won't eat you." sighed Zoya and left both of them.

"Well if you want you can follow me I have to take the practice of the girl's team and after that, I've my practical too." Satvik stated and was about to leave.

Ritika thought for a minute as the first impression of Satvik was not good and she was not sure whether she should trust him or not and also Aadi was not with her. As Satvik read her mind he assured her.

"If you are scared that it's not safe with me then let me tell you one thing whatever happened morning was a simple prank babe. I don't prank the same person repeatedly." he shrugged.

"Okay fine I will come." Ritika responded calmly.

She followed him and all the eyes were on them as Satvik was the heart of the college. Most of the girls were looking at him dreamily. But Satvik ignored all the stares and went towards changing room.

"Hey you can use the changing room there, it's men's changing room," he stated furrowing his eyebrows and pointing towards another changing room.

"I had no idea about basketball practice today so I don't have spare clothes to change." she halted her step in front of changing room.

"Umm well then wait for few minutes I will be back or you want mine I have some spare clothes," he said mischievously.

"No thanks!" she huffed in dismay.

Satvik was one of the most popular guy in college. He was tall, handsome and charming. His body was perfectly toned with a significant jawline. He has hazel brown eyes and a pointed nose. He had a mole just above his lips which made any girl fall weak in front of him. His personality had a kind of positive aura beside him.

As soon as he came from the changing room girls were ogling at him as his basketball look with a Jersey and shorts which were exposing his chiselled body. They were shooting glares at Ritika and their boyfriends at Satvik.

"Let's go, Rits oops Ritika." Satvik called Ritika to piss her off.

"Okay!" mumbled Ritika and followed him towards the basketball court as she knew if she says something then he will go adding up. He won't ever let his word go down. She was feeling a bit uncomfortable by the kind of attention she was getting from girls. But she decided to ignore that.

"It's Okay Ritika it's quite normal here to get attention as you are with me. Don't feel uncomfortable, you will get used to it." teased Satvik and casually brushed his shoulder with hers.

"Shut up! And stay away from me!" Ritika answered shooting a glare at him.

"You know all the girls are finding a chance to talk to me and you are only the one who ignores me." he said with a cute puppy face.

"Such a drama queen you are. We just met today and I don't gel with people easily you are the lucky one that I'm talking with you." responded Ritika.

"Hmmm... That's interesting you are sharing things with me. My magic had worked on you." smirked Satvik and winked at her.

Both were talking or can say arguing with each other proving their respective points. As they reached the basketball court, he introduced her to other teammates and told her the role they played.

He gave her a ball and her eyes had a different glint while playing basketball. When he looked into her eyes it shared pure dedication towards the game and he hadn't seen that kind of dedication in other girls.

"You play well!" he exclaimed as they wind up for the day.

"Thanks!" she said with a huge grin as she was contented after playing baseball.

He appreciated her passion for the game. He was zoned out as he saw the pure smile hit her face and unconsciously he smiled. Her smile was contagious.

Suddenly there came a girl who snaked her arms around Satvik's neck startling him by back hugging him. All girls looked at them with her eye wide and mouths open.
