chapter 20
School Love
Siya and Anshika stood talking in front of his entrance door. They wondered about who all would be at this party and thought of people whom they liked or not and a lot of other things. "Hey, come on in girls!", Ankit welcomed them in."Where are everyone sitting?""Yes, they're in my room, let's go."Anshika and Siya had never been outgoing and both of them felt nervous to go inside with so many unknown people. Though the people present there were their classmates, they had never talked with them."Hey girls! Welcome in! You've never been with us before?""Oh well, never before, but Ankit asked us to come this time. So we're quite excited to meet you.""That's great.""Yes, we were playing truth and dare. So you must also be joining.""Eh! Truth and dare as soon as we enter!", Siya whispered in Anshika's ears to which she giggled."Yes, please someone spin the bottle.""And someone can please turn the music on."The game continued and it was Siya's truth."Since Anshika and Siya are besties, she should question her.""Oh, no, that would not make the game interesting. You'll ask.", Anshika said."So, the most boring question to you, Siya.""Yes?""Who is your crush?"Siya blushed on hearing the question and glanced at Ankit who was chatting with another guy and said,"There's no one I'm crushing on.""Oh no, please, tell us. If you don't, how will the game get interesting?""Do you like Ankit?", someone said as a joke to which Siya couldn't stop blushing and Ankit gave a funny look."What? I was just joking."Everyone laughed, while Siya kept reserved to her seat.After a while Anshika asked for the washroom and Siya went with her. She stood by the door when she heard footsteps.Peeking out, she found Ankit and Aadarsh walking towards her, talking with each other. She quickly turned behind and beat the door for Anshika to come out. Meanwhile Aadarsh went towards the room, while Ankit came to her."Hey, that looks awkward to stand in front of the washroom. Let's go and talk somewhere.""Um..... but Anshika might require...."Anshika came out of the washroom just then and found Ankit and Siya talking."Hey Ankit! Sorry Siya I took up sometime.""Yeah, no problem, do you mind if I speak to your friend for a while?""Yeah, no problem, you can always speak to her."Siya felt butterflies and looked at Ankit.Walking towards another room, Ankit made her sit on the bed and he sat beside her.He talked very casually to her making her fall more for him. He told her about how glad he was for her to come to his party and complimented on her looks and clothes.While walking home, Siya talked only of Ankit to Anshika who listened well of her friend.The next day they went to school and during recess they met in the backgarden planning for the movie. Ruhan glanced at Aditya once in a while for his reactions and then at Siya who looked happy and then at his love, Anshika."I'm so excited for this plan!", Anshika to which all agreed.They walked to class, Ruhan teasing Aditya.
