"Forget? If I ever see him ever again, I swear I will not leave him, Pooja!" she said before leaving home at the end of the day.

------------------------------

It has been 2 weeks after college started. Things were slowly buckling up while Sonakshi had started making lots of friends and adapting to the college's environment well.

The college's most expected inter-college football competition was to be held that week and it was the main topic for every student in her class. Whenever Sona entered the classroom, she could only hear talks about the football team and the guys who were playing for it.

As usual, everyone expected the most dashing guy of the college, Dev Dixit's team to win the match that year. Dev was the captain of the football team for the past 2 years which was one of the main reasons why girls were dying to see the match.

It was held at a stadium exactly opposite their university. By now, Sonakshi was also curious to know who, Dev was. With the way girls described him, she imagined him to be the most handsome and dashing guy, who would always have ten girlfriends around him. She tried to keep her hopes low and not develop any unwanted crush.

Sona also knew that she could only see those guys as an eye-candy, because those type of guys always looked for a more sportive, modern and bold girlfriends whereas she was the exact opposite. Shy, reserved, quiet and traditional.

During lecture...

"Sona, do you think we should go and support our college for the football match?" Pooja whispered while the lecture was going on.

"Come on yaar Pooja, write down your notes first. Don't disturb me." Sona frowned and tried to listen to what her lecturer was speaking.

"Say first! Football match or not?" Pooja whined.

"Shhh...Football and us? By looking at our attire, they might throw us out of the stadium, you know? Plus, have you seen the cheerleading girls preparing at the atrium? They are almost half naked!" Sona grimaced.

"But aren't you curious? I do want to know who is DEV DIXIT is... Maybe he can be my next new hero after Ranbir Kapoor..." she smiled dreamily while Sonakshi giggled at her state.

"Fine. If you want you can go, but I am not coming." Sona stated firmly, before writing down her notes.

After their lecture, Sonakshi walked through the corridor when she spotted her seniors chatting outside the classroom. She went up to them and greeted Natasha, a college mate whom she got close during the first week of orientation. They were talking about random things when suddenly Sona decided to ask something.

"Umm Di, if you don't mind ermm...do you know anyone called Dev.....Dixit is??" Sona stuttered shyly.

"Haa, yes I know him. Haven't you seen him around? In fact, he is good friend of mine. Why?? Do you need his number, Sonakshi? I thought you were an innocent girl, huh?" Natasha winked mischievously.

Sonakshi's cheeks immediately turned red in embarrassment as she replied, "No... It's nothing like that. I haven't seen him before, so was just curious. I just heard my friends talking about the football tournament so I thought of asking you. That's all." she managed to cover her lie with a nervous voice while Natasha smiled.

"Hey cool... I was just kidding, Sona. Anyways yeah, we all are going to support the match tonight. How can I miss my friend's match? You are coming, right?" Natasha asked enthusiastically.

"Umm.. No Natasha di, I have some assignments to finish. I won't be able to make it. Sorry." she said and quickly rushed out of the place, making Natasha blink in amusement.

At home...

Sonakshi couldn't get sleep. She was rolling around on the bed and contemplating on whether she should attend the competition or not. Pooja had tried to convince her twice about going for the match, but her egoistic ass had conveniently denied it.

Her ego stopped her from calling Pooja and ask her out too. She pulled her hair in frustration and pondered on what to do. Now that everyone had successfully built a high image of that match, she really wanted to go and witness that chaos.

Part of her really wanted to see what was so special about the guy, whom the entire college girls were crazy for.

When curiosity got the most out of her, she immediately got up and changed into a casual t-shirt and jeans. She wore a hoody on top to make sure her face was hidden from the prying eyes of the public.

She started her scooty, and drove to the stadium in lightning speed. When she reached the place, she could feel her own pulse, thudding strongly. She slowly sneaked inside the stadium and secured herself a hidden corner there. She made sure that she sat at a place where there were no one she knew.

As she looked at the time board, she realised that she was just on time. The match hadn't started yet. It was a new thrill for Sonakshi to come to a place like this. She had never done such things before. Sneaking, hiding and lying was all new to her. While she was still thinking about her decision, she suddenly felt a pair of hands, touching her shoulder. She froze.

The moment she turned behind, shock and embarrassment covered her face. Natasha was sitting there with her friends. She was equally shocked as Sonakshi was. But later her expression changed to a mischievous smile.

"Hmm.... I heard that someone had assignments to do and they were too busy?? What happened madam? Hogaya assignments?" she asked chuckling wholeheartedly.

Sonakshi immediately panicked and got up from her seat and thought of something to cover up her stupidity.

"No dii, actually my friend was the one who forced me to come... Urr... I couldn't find her... I th..think I am leaving now." She stammered.

Natasha quickly grabbed her and made her sit beside her before Sona could escape.

"Don't worry Sona, I was just pulling your legs. Look at those girls on the other side sitting shamelessly just to attract guys. They are the ones supposed to get embarrassed. Not you, okay? Anyways just join in. Let's watch the match!" Natasha said warmly and consoled Sona.

Sona mentally cursed herself for being stupid. She could have just stayed at home and saved herself this embarrassment. 'What was the need to sneak? Now Natasha would think that she was here for Dev! Idiot, Sona!

Her thoughts were halted by the loud roaring of the crowd. Everyone were cheering Dev's name while the cheerleading team acted like they were high on weeds. Sona tried not to cringe as she saw how the entire stadium was boosted with energy when the football team made their entrance.

"Hey look Sona! That guy there, is Dev Dixit!! The most charming prince of the college." Natasha exclaimed and Sona's eyes immediately followed the direction Natasha was showing her.

Once her eyes landed upon the guy Natasha was mentioning, her eyes widened in dismay.

Sona's POV

It was the same guy who bullied me on my first day. He was waving his hands to the crowd looking so overwhelmed. I closed my eyes shut and contemplated about how such an evil guy be loved by the whole college. No doubts, he was handsome and hot but....Oh my god Sona what are you thinking? You are mad!

I watched the whole match. It wasn't that boring as I expected it to be. Instead it was really interesting to watch 'the DEV DIXIT' playing and added more spice to the game. I watched every move of his and understood why he was the craze of every girl.

He was the definition of perfectionist. Everything about him was so perfect. His features, movements and expressions. Every single thing.

I wanted to run my fingers through every part of him. I never had any sexual thoughts when I met a guy before but Dev Dixit was something else... He stirred my emotions ever since day one. I couldn't sit there and admire him more as I knew that dreaming about things which was far away from reality, was a waste of time. I quickly got up from my seat and informed Natasha that I had to go back due to some emergency.

"Why Sona? What happened?" Natasha's face contorted in worry.

"No, di... It's getting late. I have to go home."

"So, finally you have met Dev, haven't you?" she asked and I fought the urge to snort.

"I don't think there's anything to be proud di..... If I knew he was Dev Dixit, then I would have never come down in the first place." She stated with a frown and left, leaving Natasha dumbfounded.

---------------------------

DEV's POV

"Woahhhhh", I heard my teammates cheering. Finally, we won the match with a one-score difference. It was definitely a tough fight. Still we managed to put up a strong play, since I didn't want to let my friends and college mate down. PS of my course girl fans *wink*

I made way towards my friends when I heard Natasha screaming.

"Devvvvvv!!!!! You did it man! Congrats!!! Finally, the champion again, huh?" she squealed, making me close my ears for a second. My friend Jatin started laughing when he looked at her clumsiness.

Listening to her, all of us slowly started heading towards the rest area allowing Natasha to follow us as well. As Natasha was speaking to Jatin about the match, one of her conversation instantly caught my attention.

".......and you know she said that she has lots of assignments and she is not interested in knowing who is Dev. I just pulled her legs and told her its ok. But when I came here, guess wat? I saw her sneaking through the back door with a hoody. I quickly recognised her! Although she was trying to hide her face, I spot her really fast, Jatin! I can't believe she hid herself just to find out who Dev was... It was really funny, Jatin. Super cute and innocent. The minute she saw Dev, she was so stunned." she completed, making me curious.

"So, she has fallen for Dev, just like all the other girls? Right?" Jatin asked with a smirk, but Natasha's face changed.

"No Jatin. Her looks actually said something else..... She looked a bit angry when she was leaving. She definitely wasn't happy seeing Dev... Wonder why.." Natasha mumbled softly, making me even more hyped.

This conversation got me really interested. I really wanted to know who that girl was. She did so much, just to see me? Even then, why was the need to be angry? Did she, already know me?

"Natasha, what's her name?" I suddenly turned and asked, capturing everyone's attention there. Some of my friends even hooted mischievously when I asked Natasha about the girl.

"Her name is Sonakshi." Natasha answering causally, making my feet halt in its position.

I immediately recalled the name like it was the only thing on my mind. How could I forget it? It was etched on my mind the moment I heard it. I have heard it clearly when her friend was shouting at her in the middle of the road...

"Sonakshiiii!! It's okay, we are getting late for college.. Come yaar!"

It was the same bike girl. My lips formed a smirked as I still recalled how she shouted at me angrily after making a mistake. Now I exactly knew what I had to do. Sorry sweetheart, now there's no escape.

Mr bad boy is back in action my dear, Sonakshi!
