Diya looked at Karan and smiled and he did the same. They were in a canteen seated opposite to each other. But then the consequences of bad timing came into effect.

Diya was almost ready to hit the person who snaked their arms across her shoulder. “Woah... You got too fast reflexes sweetheart” Sanskar chuckled and she stopped her hand in midway. Diya fumed dragging her hand back. She was about to make him hear her stupendous vocabulary if it was not for the next voice which dragged all their attention.

“Hey” Ragini sat beside Karan giving him a smile and then hugged him making Diya choke on air. “You're okay princess?” Sanskar patted her back concerned. Diya felt the fake concern through the intensity of those pats when her coughs went on increasing.

Karan who was all nervous and sweating looked at Diya. She narrowed her eyes and he could only smile sheepishly at her. Sanskar folded his lips controlling the thundering laugh which threatened to leave.

Biting his cheek he looked at Ragini impressed that she was right when she said it would be fun. She smiled at him careful enough to not reveal her expression to either Karan or Diya.

“Ow.. What happened?” she looked at her sister. “Um... nothing” Diya smiled after her coughs subsided. “Actually Karan” Ragini turned to him and he unwillingly looked back at her.

“I wanted to apologize that I could not attend the semi formals. I am sorry you have to be there without a date” she deepened her eyes and Karan nodded his head in a manner that he forgave her. 'I am sorry Ragini. I am playing this game with you. I am dying to tell you that I had been to semi formals with your sister and she is the one I really like. But your devil twin isn't letting me to do that' he thought in his mind.

“It's okay Ragini. No problem” he finally spoke. “I don't like it when you call me by my name” she pouted. He narrowed his eyebrows confused. “Then what do you want me to call you?” he asked confused. “I would have told cotton candy face....” she cheerfully looked forward. “But you always call me Sunshine right. I will manage with that also” she spoke innocently.

Karan had to fight the shiver which ran down his spine. He gave a side glance at Diya who tightened her hold on the fork and he smiled weakly at Ragini gulping down the lump.

“Oh okay..” he spoke in shrilly voice which made Ragini and Sanskar to fight the laughter in their throat. He was more than panicked.

“And to compensate for that how about we go on a date today evening?” Ragini bent her head smiling. “You can't” Diya interrupted banging the fork on the table making everyone jump in their seats. Karan sighed when he realized Diya saved him.

“Why not?” Ragini smirked turning to Diya. “Oh don't feel so bad about it darling. We will be going on a date too” Sanskar spoke before Diya can reply.

“I am not feeling sad that she is going on a date. And who gave you the idea that I am gonna go with you on a date?” she asked crossing her arms. 'Burn twin sister burn' Ragini spoke in her mind folding her lips.

“Why should I not get the idea when we are officially together?” Sanskar shrugged his shoulder. “Are you nuts?” Diya pointed her brain and looked around. “Don't you know the rules. If Mr. Fryer heard you then Mr. Professor be ready to lose your job” she mocked at him.

“Oh you don't worry about it dear. I have spoken to Mr. Fryer. He is okay as far as I am not teaching the student I am dating” he smiled. “But you are still teaching me” she said and her face was twisted in confusion.

“Your old math teacher is back and I have been shifted to statistics department” he smiled at her. “How? You are a math professor aren't you?” she scratched her head. “Statistic is part of math. Oh you didn't know it? Don't worry now you know right and whole your life you need not be worried about not knowing something. I will always help my soul mate when she needs me” he smiled dreamily.

“You are creepy” Diya moved away from him looking weirdly. “That's a compliment from the person most dear to me” he smiled widely. “Okay enough” she stood up and stormed away. “Um... I got to go” Karan stood up ready to walk behind her.

But Ragini held his hand and pulled him back. “Where are you going Prince charming?” she asked pouting. Karan did not liked that Ragini was referring him with a name given by Diya. “Um... Ragini..” he smiled nervously dragging his hand back slowly. “I have a class” he looked at her.

“Oh...” she pouted. “Don't forget. I will be waiting in the evening” she said hopeful. “I will try” he blurted out. “What does that mean?” she asked confused. Karan closed his eyes and then opened them looking at Ragini. “I...I mean... I had some practice session for the...for the...” he thought. “For the...I don't remember right now. I just... just forgot it.. I will check with Shane in the class. Okay bye” he waved at her and walked off as soon as possible.

Ragini and Sanskar looked at each other and then burst into hysterics. So much that all the people around them were looking at them strangely.

“You are creepy” Ragini acted as Diya.

“For the... for the... I don't remember” Sanskar acted as Karan and they had an high five.

“This is really funny” Sanskar spoke as he controlled his laughs. “You bet” Ragini replied. “Mr. Sanskar” their laughs died down when they heard the voice. Ragini's eyes widened looking at the person who was behind Sanskar. He followed her gaze and his eyes also were as big as Ragini's.

“Mr. Fryer...” Sanskar stuttered. “What are you doing out of staff area?” asked Mr. Fryer raising his one eyebrow. “Um... actually sir. Ms. Kapoor had a doubt in a math topic. I was just helping her out” he signed at Ragini.

She looked at him astounded. Her heart was beating very fast. Ragini was one of the top scorer who had never visited Mr. Fryer and feared him a lot.

“From when did you start needing help in math Ragini?” he turned to her. Now there was no escape. He knew Ragini had no subject related to math.

“Um...actually sir. Diya needed a help. She....she was not well so I insisted that I will learn it from him then teach her” she smiled sheepishly trying hard to maintain her calm.

“Then you have to repeat the whole year. I wonder if she had ever listened to any of the classes” he nodded his head. Diya was very famous in the college though what she scored was not enough to highlight her name on the notice board during results but her pranks earned her the recognition even the grades could not get.

“Okay... You people carry on. I wonder where Dan is? He is supposed to give me the reports of the graduation day programs” he looked around and walked from there.

“That was close” Sanskar sighed. “Yeah” Ragini agreed wiping the sweat droplet off her forehead.

“Diya..” Karan walked behind Diya and held her wrist to stop her. “I wonder what took you so long? Oh I forgot. You don't realize the time when you are with your cotton candy face” Diya acted excited. “But she likes you to call her sunshine right?” she crossed her arms.

“It wasn't my fault. I told you lets just tell them but no. You wanted revenge. Now see what happened?” he looked at her annoyed.

“So it was my fault?” she asked shocked. Karan looked at her fearing. “I did not mean it that way Diya. It's so complicated now. I can't talk to Ragini the way she is expecting me to. Because I feel weird” he closed his eyes annoyed. “So you think I enjoy that jerk face around me?” she looked at him.

“We both are not liking it. That is what I told you. We should tell them the truth at least now” he requested. “But...” she looked thoughtful. Karan neared her and cupped her face and she looked into his eyes.

“Let us do this together. I know they will be shocked and upset but we can't continue to build hopes. And I don't want to give anyone an impression that I am going to be with them. Because I want to be with you and only you” he kissed her forehead.

“Karan...” they both departed hearing a voice. Ragini stood there shocked and Sanskar beside her with the same expression. They knew they were acting but they did not knew their acting was Oscar winning level. Karan and Diya both panicked. They wanted to tell Ragini about it but not in this way.

Ragini stormed off from there acting to be miffed. Karan looked at Diya and then in the direction Ragini walked. “Bro. You screwed up big time” Sanskar nodded his head disappointed.

“Ragzee” Diya was about to follow her but Karan stopped her. “It is on me. I will talk to her” he walked in the same direction.

“Tch...tch...” Sanskar looked at Diya faking concern. She shot him a death glare. “If you don't shut up you will regret standing here” she warned him.

“As you sow, So you reap” he smiled at her and she fumed closing her eyes.

“Ragini” Karan stood behind her. She was faking that she was crying not turning to him. Karan felt worst about himself. All his life he had never hurt someone to this extent.

“I'm sorry okay.. I really am... I don't know how to tell you this but I don't like you..” he stuttered and Ragini cried more.

“Damn Karan. Can you be less hurtful?” he asked himself hearing her cries. “I am sorry” he neared her but Ragini who guessed it; turned around not facing him.

“I am sorry Ragini... I did not mean to hurt you but.. I can't help it. I am feeling I am the worst person in the world” he begged her. “You aren't calling me sunshine” she spoke in between her fake sobs.

Karan stood closing his eyes. “I can't... I can't call you that anymore” he confessed. “Why?” she asked not turning. “Because... because I love Diya and I can't address someone else with such names. It is not okay right?” he asked in a breath and Ragini cried more.

“Look look I am sorry” he roamed behind her every time she turned her face away from him. “But if I have hurt you so badly then I will break up with Diya” he looked down.

“What the...” Sanskar spoke loudly who was watching all this along with Diya. Karan looked up sadly. He signed Diya to come and she walked to him.

“I am sorry Ragini... It was all my fault. I actually love Diya. I... actually realized the meaning of the word called love only because of her. Whatever I felt for you was kind of attraction nothing more” he looked at his hand.

“But you are one of the person whom I cannot hurt at any cost” he agreed. “If us being together hurts you this bad I swear I will go away from here. I can't make you unhappy” he looked down and sadness was covering him completely.

“You can never hurt anyone can you?” he heard Ragini's calm voice and looked up. She was smiling at him. He looked at her confused. Diya had the same expression.

“Sweat heart” Sanskar was walking towards them. “Not again... Mr. Professor. Dare you call me that again” Diya shot him death glare. “Who's talking to you Ms. Creepy head” he looked at her and then walked to Ragini standing beside her snaking his arm across her shoulders.

Diya and Karan's jaws touched the ground.

“What the hell?” Diya pointed at them. “Yeah what the hell?” Karan looked at them.

“We actually sorted out our issues last night itself but then we thought how about some revenge on Oh Ms. I never use my mind before talking” Ragini pointed at Diya and Sanskar chuckled.

“What?” Diya asked shocked. “So you both were playing a prank?” asked Karan baffled. “I think so” Sanskar gave a weak smile.

“But what was my fault in this?” asked Karan pointing at himself.

“Oh being with queen of bad timing you earn some bad luck for yourself” Ragini shrugged her shoulders. “Seriously?” Diya looked at her in disbelief.

“Oh thank god” Karan sighed relaxing. Then he dragged Diya in a warm hug. His eyes were ready to flood. “Awww” Ragini cooed looking at them. “I am sorry Karan” she held her ears apologetically.

He could not speak for a good amount of time due to swollen throat.

“Karan are you crying?” asked Diya looking up at him. “What do you expect me to do then? Gosh I thought I lost you” he spoke in a choking voice.

Diya smiled patting his chest. “I am sorry” Ragini genuinely asked him. He nodded his head. “It's okay” he smiled at her.

“So you forgave me?” Karan asked after coming out of the hug and standing in front of Ragini. “I did” she nodded her head.

“How civil?” Sanskar smiled at them. He then looked at Diya.

“Don't even expect me to call you anything better than jerk face” she rolled her eyes. “I am your professor” Sanskar crossed his arms.

“Yeah. Inside the class” she crossed her arms mocking.

Karan and Ragini's head moved from Diya then to Sanskar.

“You are going to pay for it” Sanskar smirked. “Oh do I pay any less everyday looking at your face?” she smiled mocking.

“She is not respecting me” Sanskar complained as Ragini dragged him away. “What are you? Captain America?” she asked as Karan took her in the opposite direction.

“Damn.. What the hell she thinks of herself?”Sanskar fumed at a distance. “Sanskar...” Ragini called him calmly. He sighed and closed his eyes.

“She gives me headaches” he whined. “Awww” Ragini stood on her toes and kissed his forehead. “Feeling better?” she asked. “A bit” he looked at her hiding his smile. He leaned to kiss her but Ragini placed her index finger on his lips stopping him.

“This is not the right place” she whispered. “Oh no” he pouted cutely. She held him by his tie and dragged him inside the empty classroom. “Oh I like it” he smiled and she crashed her lips on his. They kissed passionately.
