After their last lecture, Abhishek dragged Shubman to their room. He messed up his whole almirah throwing all his clothes on bed. "What the hell are you doing you idiot?" Shubman shouted nth time but Abhishek once again ignored him and continued throwing away all his clothes. 

"What is all this Shubman?" Abhishek asked feeling disappointed. Shubman looked at him with a done face. "Don't you think it should me asking this question from you? Why the hell you have spoilt all this. Do you think it is easy to set up the clothes?" Shubman said angrily but then he looked at Abhishek's side which was completely dirty. All his things were scattered here and there. He sighed maybe it is actually no big deal for Abhishek for having a mess in his room.

"No none of these are good. Your clothes are good-for-nothing dude." Abhishek said observing the clothes. "Excuse me. Firstly you created a whole mess here and now speaking ill about my clothes. And what is even wrong with them?" Shubman asked irritated.

"I can't believe my roommate has such a bad taste in fashion." Abhishek stated ignoring Shubman's irritated words completely. "You know we need to go shopping soon and change your whole wardrobe. But now you have a date in sometime." Abhishek said. "First of all it is not a date. I already told you. And secondly what is even wrong with my clothes. I can wear anything. I can even in whatever I am wearing." Shubman stated.

"No way. You ain't wearing any of these shits. The college's hottest girl has herself approached you. You just can't go like this." Abhishek said and walked towards his own clothes. "Excuse me. My clothes are not shit." Shubman said offended. Abhishek took out his own clothes and gave him. "Jaa ye pehnle." Abhishek said or more like ordered him.

"No I won't" Shubman denied straightaway but whom was he fighting with. If he was stubborn then Abhishek was much more than him. So finally Shubman got ready the Abhishek wanted him to. "Chal ab. Ladkio ko wait nhi karwate aur sundar ladkio ko to bilkull bhi nhi." Abhishek said and dragged him. They went towards girl's hostel. Abhishek looked around and broughts some flowers from somewhere. 

"Give this to her when she comes." Abhishek said forwarding the flowers. "Why?" Shubman asked confused. "Kya karoo mein iska?" Abhishek said frustrated wanting to pull his own hair.

[What shall I do with you?]

"Girls like such gestures. Just give her. What is the big deal?" Abhishek said. "Ok." Shubman said taking the flowers. They saw Sara was coming. "Behave nicely. All the best." Abhishek left without waiting for his reply.

Sara came and greeted him. Shubman greeted her back. "Umm these are for you." Shubman said stuttering looking down. Sara smiled at him. "Aww thanks you are so cute." Sara said ruffling his hair and accepting the flowers making Shubman blush. His heart started beating faster because of nervousness. 

"Shall we leave?" Sara asked. "Umm ya ok." Shubman said. They left for cafe. It was nearby so they decided to go by walk. They enjoyed sometime with each other. They talked some general things about themselves. It was mostly Sara talking as Shubman was really shy talking to anyone especially a girl. After sometime, they came back to college. 

"You are an amazing boy Shubman. It was great to spend sometime with you. I guess we can be really good friends." Sara said smiling cheerfully. "You are also a very nice girl. I also enjoyed with you." Shubman said shyly. "Well that's great then. Maybe we can go out again someday if you wish to." Sara suggested. "Umm ok." Shubman said. Sara gave him a quick side hug and left saying bye while leaving Shubman stunned. 

Shubman also left for his room. But what both of them did not notice was that a pair of eyes looking at the two of them with anger.

Shubman entered his room. Abhishek was lying on his bed and watching something on his phone. "Oh look who is back? How was you date Shubi?" Abhishek asked excitedly sitting up straight. He had been eagerly waiting for his best friend to know the details of his first date and tease him.

"Hey it was not a date." Shubman said. "Not again. We are already past that. Now just tell me how it was." Abhishek asked. Abhishek teased him for long.

Ishan was sitting in his room gritting his teeth remembering something. "What the hell was Sara doing with that idiot? Gill you look really innocent but if you are trying to have something with Sara the consequences will not be good at all." Ishan thought. He was really angry seeing Shubman and Sara coming from somewhere smiling so much and Sara even had flowers in her hand that Shubman gave her.

Four days passed away. In these two days, Ishan had seen Sara and Shubman talking to each other and a couple of times. he saw Sara with Shubman and Abhishek at the college cafeteria. He only knew how he controlled himself from going to them and beating the hell out of Shubman. These days Mayank had not troubled Abhishek. It was not easy for him but he maintained his distance from Abhishek. He did not know why but his pain, his tears effect him. Although, his whole group was considered stone hearted and even he was. But Abhishek's pain did have a severe impact on him and after that incident he could not bring himself to hurt him anymore.

Currently, their class was going on. They all were focused  on their class. Bell rang. "Ok students. that's it for today. Please revise and let me know if you had any doubt in this topic tomorrow and ya remember that your assignments are due next week. I hope all are working on them. They are really important as the marks will be added in your exams. Am I clear?" the teacher asked before leaving. "Yes ma'am" all the students replied. "Great then. See you all tomorrow." the teacher said and left.

"This lecture is free. What shall we do?" Abhishek asked. "I do not know about you. But I am going to library." Shubman replied packing his bag. Abhishek rolled his eyes at him. "You are such a nerd. No fun at all. Let's go have some fun na." Abhishek said whinning. "Sorry Abhi. But tomorrow's test is really important. So I have to study. You also should study." Shubman said as a matter of fact. "Oh please as if one nerd is not enough for us. No thanks. You go. But ya after this, it's break. So come to hostel, we will go to mess together." Abhsihek said. "Ya okk." Shubman agreed. Both left.

Shubman studied the whole period and then went to hostel in break. They both had their lunch and went back to college together. Before they could go in class, Sara came there. "Hi Shub. Hi Abhi." Sara greeted them cheerfully. "Hey" both of them replied. "Shub I was wondering if we could go out somewhere day after tomorrow. It's Saturday and we have an off. If you are then we can plan something." Sara proposed. "Act..." Shubman began to reply but Abhishek jumped in before he could say anything. "Of course. He is free. He will come." "Sure?" Sara asked looking at Shubman who sighed and nodded.

"Ok then we will go out this Saturday. For now I have class. See you two later." Sara said and  left. "Second date. Not bad!!" Abhishek exclaimed smirking. Their conversation was interrupted by someone. "Shubman principal wants to see you in his office immediately." a student informed him. "Why?" he asked confused. "I don't know that. I was just told this much." he answered and left. Shubman was confused and nervous. "Hey why are you worried to go in principal's office. They must have called you either to give some award or for some competition. I don't think there could be any complaint against you." Abhishek said wrapping his arm around his shoulder. "Let's hope so. I should go warna gussa karenge late aane par." Shubman said and Abhishek nodded. 

Shubman left for the office while Abhishek went in class. Shubman knocked took a deep breath and knocked on the principal's door. "Who is it?" a voice came from inside. "Shubman Gill" he answered. "Come in" an order came from inside and he walked inside and closed the door behind him. He was shocked to see it wasn't just the principle but also the panel of trustees sitting there. He looked at them and noticed one of them looked quite similar to Ishan and figured out she must be his mother. He greeted them all and stood quietly  waiting to know why he had been called there.

"Well Mr. Gill where is your identity card?" the principal asked. Shubman checked his pockets and then his bag but it was not there. "Sorry sir I might have left it in my room." Shubman apologized. "Is  this yours?" he asked forwarding one Id card. Shubman looked at them in confusion and moved forward to identify it and it was actually his. "Umm yes sir. That's actually mine." 

"You know where we found it?" he asked. "Umm no sir." he replied. "Make a guess. Wherever you went today." the principal asked once again. "Class, library, hostel mess." he said trying to remember his whole day. "Well Shubman you must agree that if whole panel is sitting here. It must not be a normal case of lost and found and we are definitely not sitting here to return it back to you." the principal said making the poor boy even more confused.

"Well Mr. Gill we have found this in one of the girl's washroom in your department and some crackers busted there in the lecture before break and we found this identity card lying there which you yourself identified as yours." one of the trustees stated. Shubman's eyes were wide open. "And you know that discipline is something our college prioritizes the most. It is very obvious you cannot get away with this obscene act of yours. There are gonna be very serious consequences and we have to rusticate you from here. Honestly we never expected like this from such a brilliant student like you." The principal announced.

Shubman could not speak wile his eyes got teary listening to all this.
