Naira was now running to her class as she was late. She was dashing into people every now and then but still not caring as she ran for her life. Finally she came to a halt in front of her classroom. Heaving a sigh of relief she looked at her wristwatch and  her eyes widened like a saucer as she was late. Although just 1min 20sec but still she was late!

Never in her life,she was late. And today she was. Her heart raced as she saw her Professor already in classroom.

Shit!!

But still She has to attend the class. She mustered up the courage and asked the permission to enter. Albeit she knows the answer herself but still all she can do is try.

"May I come in Sir?" She asked with her sweet voice politely.

Professor greeted her with a smirk on his face.

"Miss Naira!" He called but just then he was cut off my someone's voice.

"May I come in Sir??" She heard  A very familiar voice  And when she turned to see who it was! She met with the dark brown orbs which is the reason of her being late! Yup!!

He is the reason!!

As he gave her so many butterflies in her stomach by his antics and his touch that she doesn't get sleep nowadays. And rest is in history.

"Today I have no time for entertainment..so both of you.." they looked at the professor,and pointed their fingers towards them asking us? In a very innocent way like they didn't do anything.

But the thing is She really didn't do anything. He did! This person who is standing right beside her. Yes! He.

"Yes you both! As you both are late..so today your place is outside the class. And now no excuses and all..do what I say. I am in no mood of wasting class's time today!" Professor said and again started teaching.

They looked at each other and then again at the professor. And sighed.

They both stood in the corridor as they don't have any option.

They  remained silent for sometime but then Kartik asked her with curiosity dripping in his words.

"How come you are late? Jahan tak mujhe pta h..you are not a late comer." He said raising his eyebrow.

Hot!

Naira internally scolded herself for thinking him as hot! Ok..he is  but she shouldn't think like that. should she?

She thought about his ques and was in a mess what to tell him? Should she just say- because of you! As you give me so many butterflies in my stomach that I don't get sleep.

No! That's not appropriate to say right? What will he think of her!

And then she did What she thought as the most appropriate thing to do now! Yes!! argument.

"Kyu late aane pr tumhara copy right lga hua h kya...?" She asked with a victorious smile.

It worked! She squealed in happiness in her mind as Kartik just rolled his eyes and left the topic there onwards.

"Achha..ye lo" he handed her some almonds.

"Tum college m almonds laate ho!!!" She chuckled.

"Haan..mai puri taiyaari krke aata ho ..late hone ki ...I mean late hone k baad agar punishment mile to uski taiyaari..you know!"  He said and smiled proudly.

She found it cute!

"Aww..sho cute!!" She said pulling his cheeks. After sometime she left his cheeks.

"Aah!! Itni tez kon pull krta h!" He said rubbing his cheeks but a slight pink colour adorned his cheeks. And he looked dreamily towards her. She returned his gaze and they both were lost. After sometime,bell rang bringing them on Earth!

Soon students came outside. And there was a rush in corridor because all were moving towards their next class. Because of hustle-bustle, someone accidentally pushed Naira and she directly smashed in his chest. While Kartik held her through her waist to prevent her from falling.

They were again lost in the depth of emotions which their eyes were pouring. But then a coughing sound brought them back to this world again!

"Guys! You know!" Over excited Ayesha jumped in.

"No we don't know!" Kartik answered annoyed. He didn't like the interruption in their moment.

"Kya?" Ayesha questioned confused.

" I mean we don't know..so you tell!" He replied with fake politeness.

"Haan so listen humare college ka tour jaa rha..h  Shimla! ..iss week k end m..!" She informed and squealed in excitement.

Before Naira and Kartik could react something. A professor came telling them to go for their next class.

They Looked each other last time and went for their respective classes.
