Any reason?

Students clapped after the principle was done giving his speech. Curiosity and excitement crept inside the mind of students to see who is their next leader.

"Before we annouce the names of our leaders, the Green house has prepared a dance performance. So give them a huge round of applause." The teacher said, the roar of applause was heard when the students came on stage and started their performance.

"Tujhe kya lagta hain kon banega Head boy this year?" Rhea nudged Anaya, who was sitting ahead of her.

[Who do you think will become house captain this year?"]

Anaya thought for a moment before answering. "Maybe Yash bhaiya." Rhea nodded. "What about Krish bhaiya and Jay bhaiya? Do you think they will become house captain?" Rhea asked again.

"Of course they will. You already know their image in school, they are the teacher's favorite." Anaya replied, as her eyes scanned through the crowd to look for particular person.

She waved her hand when she saw Isha sitting wearing her Blue house uniform. Isha beamed and waved back excitedly. Anaya called Rhea. "Isha! Over there." She pointed towards her direction.

Rhea turned her gaze at the same direction and smiled, mouthing something to Isha bit Isha didn't seemed to understand her and asked her to say again. Rhea repeated twice, yet Isha was unable to understand.

"Yaar tu chhod." Rhea said, frustratedly.

[You leave it.]

Isha shrugged her shoulder and turned her eyes towards the stage.

"Kya puch rahi thi usse?" Anaya asked, whispering.

[What were you asking?"]

"Yehi ki Kritika kaha pe hain?" Rhea answered while asking.

[That only where is Kritika?]

Anaya turned around and smacked her head. "Yaad nahi, Kritika dance mein hain."

[You don't remember that Kritika is in dance.]

"Mujhe pata hain par yellow group ka dance toh ho gaya, voh thi nahi." Rhea said, rolling her eyes.

[I know but dance of yellow group is done and she wasn't there.]

"She is going to perform Semi-classical." Anaya said, before clapping as the performance ends of the green house.

The host is back on the stage with a big grin on her face. "So should we annouce the house captain and Vice captain?" She asked, as the crowd roared with yes.

"Okay! seems like you all are way too curious." She laughed. "Let's start with Yellow house, the house captain of Yellow house is Aditya Ahuja and the vice captain is Nisha Parmar." They both walked on the stage with a proud smile, the previous captains came and pinned their batch on their shirt and made them wear the sash.

The host clapped her hand and hooted. "Next is Red house with House Captain Jay Malhotra and Vice captain Arya Sharma." They both headed towards the stage and the same process was repeated, Jay went and stood beside Nisha with a smile on his face. He turned his face on right side to see Aditya already looking at him, while rolling his eyes.

"Okay next is blue house, Krishna Mehta as House Captain and Jeel Chopra as Vice captain." Krish was shocked hearing his name, he could not believe he was selected. Covering his amusement his went on stage as Jeel walked behind him.

"Last but not least, we have Green house. Any gusses for it?" The host asked.

Isha sitting alone, whispered to herself. "Isme kya guess jab hume pata hi nahi hain ki naam kin logo ne diya hain." She made a face while saying this as some students heard her and turned towards her.

[What to guess when we don't know who has given their name.]

Isha gave a smile to everyone. "Yeh log mujhe aese kyu dekh rahe hain? Kya main itni sundar hu?" She asked to herself whike touching her face.

[What are they staring at me? Am I that beautiful?]

The host made a face disappointed face. "Seems like you all are not able to guess."

Rhea leaned forward to whisper in Anaya's ear. "Yeh log Kitna khich te hain sidha sidha naam nahi bol sakhte." She rolled her eyes and Anaya chuckled.

[They exaggerates too much, can't they simply say the name.]

"Manish Gupta and Nitya Bhatia please come on stage." The host announced, as they both walked. They were greeted by previous captain, their house headmaster and principle, then they were given the sash and the batch.

The host smiled, before reading her script. "Now the most awaited names..." She looked at the crowd. "...the head boy and the head girl."

"Should we annouce the name?" The students shouted with yes. "Nah... I won't. Before that we have a dance performance by Kritika Shah and Payal Singh." The house captains and Vice captains came down from the stage.

Kritika and Payal walked on stage wearing a matching outfit, a while flared long kurti. While Kritika's hair were done in braids with two strands out and was not wearing glasses, Payal's hair were tied in bun.

"Ohhhh!!!!" Rhea and Anaya shouted from their place cheering for Kritika. Soon they were hit by a teacher on head asking them to be quite. They still continued to cheer for her with low voice.

Isha on other side, had a big smile worn on her face as Kritika took her position, closing her eyes.

Ho sun saathiya maahiya

Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan

She opened her eyes as the lyrics started locking the gaze with the mesmerized crowd before swaying her body fluidly with beat. Jay eyes sparkled with admiration as soft smile play on his lips when Kritika's gaze met his. Maan hota hain in badi-badi aankhon mein doob jau.

Rang jaaun, rang rang

jaaun ri, haari main

Tujhpe main jhar jhar jhar jaaun

As the song progressed, she and Payal moved synchronized, their body floating on stage like feathers on breeze. Their hand danced through the air, like flowing water as performed their choreography.

Hoon piya bas teri main

Ho chhu le toh khari main

(Toh khari main khari main...)

During this, she twirled and spun, her eyes met with Aditya's and gave him a small smile while Aditya watched her performance with a proud smile on his face.

However, their interaction didn't go unnoticed by Jay who oscillated his eyes between them in them, a pang of pain flickered in his eyes. Something inside him shifted as his eyes which were fill admiration were now filled with jealousy.

Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya

Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan

Main ret si, boond ka zariya tu

Paa ke tujhe bheeg jaaun re

Jay repeated the same line whispering in low, softening his gaze as he watched her dance. "Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya, barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan."

[listen to me O beloved, shower on me with your inks of love]

tar jaaun tar tar jaaun

dariya ye tar jaaun jee

ishq ye paake main tera

nikhar jaaun ri...

His gaze never left her as she moves around freely. "Tar jaaun tar tar jaaun, dariya ye tar jaaun jee, ishq ye paake main tera, nikhar jaaun ri..."

[I'll cross, I'll cross this sea (of troubles, this world).., I'd get your love and be clean]

piya bas teri main

ho.. chhu le to khari main

toh khari main khari main...

As the instrumental goes, she spun and stopped in her position as Payal went solo with Bharatnatyam. After her solo ended, Payal paused in track giving the spotlight to Kritika as she performed Kathak. In the end, they spun several times together and ended the performance. The whole crowd thundered with applause and cheers.

"What a wonderful performance." The host said, impressed. The girls bowed and left the stage. "Now, now, now... head boy and girl." She paused and grinned towards the students before announcing. "Yash Marwah is our School's head boy of this year with Rishwa Trivedi as the head girl."

Yash and Rishwa walked on the stage, Yash had a neutral expression while Rishwa grinned happily. The principal came and did handshake with them. Yash bowed down to the principal's feel to take blessing followed by Rishwa.

They were presented with the sash and the batch as the batch shined bright on their shirt. The other prefects and the captains were called on the stage to take vows.

After an hour, students started to dispersed moving back to their respective classes to grab their bag while others left the school. Rhea, Isha and Anaya waited for Kritika to come as they stood in the corner.

When they saw a glimpse of her, they ran and enveloped her in a hug. "Bhai tu kitni sundar lag rahi thi." Rhea said beaming, cupping Kritika's cheeks who laughed and thanked her. Kritika was showered with praises and compliments by her fellow schoolmates and teachers.

[Bro you were look so pretty.]

"Hayee! Meri Swarg se utri hui kokil kanthi Apsara." Isha said, hugging her tightly.

Soon they saw the boys walking towards them, the girls went to congratulate them. "Congratulations to Yash bhaiya, Jay Bhaiya, Karan bhaiya and Krish." Isha said, clapping.

Before anyone could say, Jay raised his hand to prevent others from speaking as fixed his batch and collar. "Thank you!" He said, giving her a ninty degree bow.

"Kritika." Karan called. "Your dance was amazing!" He praised her as others agree.

"True, Kritika ab mujhe tumse khana banane ke sath dance bhi sikh na padega." Yash said, smiling.

[Kritika now I have to learn dance from you with cooking.]

"Main aur Jay bhi join karunge Kritika ki dance class. Right Jay?" Krish turned to Jay, who simply nodded.

[Me and Jay will also join Kritika's dance class. Right Jay?]

"Most welcome to you all." Kritika chuckled.

"Hum teen bhi join karenge." Rhea said, pulling Anaya and Isha from her both side.

[We three will also join.]

"Haan, tum teen kisi mein baki nahi reh jani chahiye." Yash mocked.

[Sure, you three should not be left out in anything.]

"Head boy ban Gaye hain aap, head boy jesa act kijye." Rhea replied back, scoffing.

[You have became the head boy so act like a head back.]

Hearing her reply, Yash leaned forward, bending a bit to match her height as he brought his face a closure to Rhea's, right infront of her, staring right into her soul. "Toh madam ji aap ke liye main kya karu?"

[So madam, what should I do for you?]

Rhea was taken aback by the sudden closeness as her cheeks started to feel warm, she took a small step back, turning her face towards other direction to avoid looking at him. She cleared her throat, "kuch nahi." She whispered.

[Nothing.]

Yash was not able to hear it, so he leaned little bit more closer making her eyes go widened and cheeks red. "Kya?"

[What?]

This time Rhea took a big step back and pushed him slightly with her hands bringing him back to his original position. "Kuch nahi." She said, aloud. "Sunai nahi deta." She whispered.

[Nothing.]

[Can't you hear.]

Yash was quick enough to capture her words. "Uske liye Zara jor se bolna hota hain." He flicked his fingers on her forhead.

[For that you need to speak loud.]

Yeh suna par voh nahi, humesa galat sunte hain. Rhea was amused that he heard this but not that. "Abhi kya kaan ki machine lake du."

[He heard this but not that, everytime he listens wrong thing.]

[Now should I bring hearing-machine for you]

To prevent Yash from reply, Krish spoke in between. "Aaj kal tum dono jyada ladne lage ho, pehle Kriti aur Jay aur abhi tum dono."

[Now are days, you both have are fighting a lot, at first it was Kriti and Jay and now you two.]

Anaya said agreeing. "Haan, Kriti aur Jay bhaiya ne ladna chhod diya par unki jagah in dono ne li hain."

[Yes, Kriti and Jay bhaiya have stopped fighting but their places are taken by them.]

Something clicked in Karan's mind as he spoke. "Isha we should leave now, mom called us early today." Isha nodded when they were about to leave, Karan saw Kavya waiting alone.

"Kavya." He called her, as she turned towards him. "Nobody came to pick you up yet?" He asked her, in reply she shook her head.

"Should I drop you?" Karan offered his help, asking her to come towards them. She approached them and Isha gave a side hugged to her while others gave her a smile which she returned back.

"No, it's alright. Dad is coming. I called him, he will come in 5-10 minutes." Kavya politely declined.

"Accha. Be careful while going and say hello to uncle from my side." Karan said, patting her head and smiling.

"Congratulations to you for becoming discipline prefect. I don't know why they made you and how?" She mocked whike Karan rolling his eyes.

Anaya observed their interaction, she couldn't help but feel jealousy at their exchange.

"Oh, I remember. Will you come today for dinner tonight? I heard your parents are coming but you are not." He asked.

"Haww... tu aesa karegi, aaj nahi aaegi?" Isha pretended to be angry.

[Haww... you will not come tonight?]

Kavya laughed. "I will try definitely to come since I am busy, you know you know." She said wiggling her eyebrows at Karan.

Karan rolled his eyes jokingly. "Haan Haan I know." He laughed and pulled her cheeks making her wince. "Leave me.' She said, trying to pull back from his grip making others laughed.

While Anaya watched this with no interest but a burning sensation inside her body.

After a while everyone left, leaving Kritika and Jay alone. Kritika was waiting for Aditya while Jay was about to leave when Kritika called. "Jay." He turned towards her. "Congratulations!" She said with a small smile but in return she got a small nod and unbothered expression from Jay before leaving.

Her smile fell at his usual behavior. He has never behave with her like this but after she was spotted with Aditya that day, his behavior changed, he stopped picking fights, stopped irritating, stopped stealing her lunch box which she made for Aditya. Even after her performance, before he would give her a genuine compliment but this time, nothing.

She watched as his figure disappeared. She can't help but accept that she missed his teasing, how he irritated her and their fights.

In the afternoon, Isha layed on the bed bored. When an idea clicked into her mind. She reached for her phone and texted Krish.

Isha: Hello

Within a second, her message was seen and his reply was there.

Krish: Haan ji?

Isha: Aap house captain ban Gaye ho toh is baat pe party banti hain. :)

[You have became the house captain so I need a party.]

Krish: Party maang ne tarika thoda kazual nahi hain.

[The way of yours for asking for party, isn't it kazual (causal)]

Isha: aap de rahe hain ki nahi? ⸨◺_◿⸩

[Are you giving or not?]

Krish: Itna gussa? Thike milte hain aaj 4 baje paas wale café mein.

[This much anger? Fine, let's meet at 4 in nearby café.]

Isha: Aap kitne acche ho. ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

[You are so good.]

"Party maang na toh aapse milne ka bahana hain." She chuckled to herself.

[Asking for party was just an excuse to meet you.]

She looked at the clock and it was already 3.15 in afternoon, she rushed to get ready, not wanting to be late.

Kritika was studying when her phone buzzed with notification. Taking a break from her studying, she picked up her phone to see a text from Aditya. She smiled and opened his message.

Aditya♡: Hey Kriti!

Kritika: Hey! Congratulation to you for become our yellow house captain. It will be a honor to be working under your leadership.

Aditya♡: Hahaha! Sure and it is my pleasure to have you in same house as mine.

Aditya♡: anyway what are you doing?

Kritika: Studying. You?

Aditya♡: Hanging out with friends.

Aditya♡: btw Kriti I wanted to ask you for one thing.

Kritika: Haan boliye.

Aditya♡: Can you send me your picture?

Kritika: Of course! For this you were hesitating since morning. Haha.

Aditya♡: Haan.

Kritika opened her front camera and clicked her selfies in different pose real quick before sending them to him.

Aditya♡: Pretty. But I was asking for other photo.

Kritika furrowed her eyebrows.

Kritika: which one?

Aditya♡: Look Kritika we have dating for one and half month so I hope you trust me.

Strange. She thought.

Kritika: of course, I trust you.

Aditya♡: so will you send me what I want?

Kritika: Haan.

Aditya♡: Can you send me your topless pic?

Kritika's smile fell and she gulped hard seeing the message. How can he ask for such thing?

Kritika: what?

Aditya♡: I was just kidding, I was seeing if you actually send when anyone ask to you.

Aditya♡: Remember I am not Jay. Haha.

Kritika: Ohh. I need to go back to studying, my bream ended.

Aditya♡: okay, bye.

After this, she put her phone aside as a strange and weird feeling spread across her chest.

She picked her phone again and taking a last glimpse of the chat, before screenshoting it.
