R A G I N I

I have no clue why but I am in hate with school roght now. Early morning torture wasn't enough that our school plans a surprise of a party and that to prepones it by two months. So basically now that surprise aka the ball party is in two weeks and all the girls are going hay wire because they don't have their dresses or dates yet.

Laksh and I would be going together while Sanskaar and Swara will be too. By the way did I tell you that I am thinking all this while I am in my Math class?

How much I hate math!

"So this will be your homework for tomorrow, I want all of you all to complete it without fail," the math sir said and left the classroom.

I swear I could hear all the students groaning at him in their minds. Was an hour of lecture not enough that they want to torture us even more by giving us so much homework.

Getting up from my desk I moved towards the cafeteria. I had lunch now and so did my other three idiots.

Entering the cafeteria I scanned the whole room to find my friends when I noticed Laksh, Sanskaar and Swara sitting amd eating.

Grabbing my tray from the counter I moved towards their table.

"Finally, were waiting for you RG," Sanskaar smiled while chewing his pizza.

"Don't talk while eating," Swara said while hitting his shoulder and then turned and smiled at me.

I am in deep trouble.

"Ragini," she sweetly sang and I knew what she was going to say so even before she asked.

"No." I turned her unspoken offer down.

"Why not? The ball is in two weeks!" She reminded.

"I can't shop to save my life so I am sorry I ain't coming with you to the mall. Moreover I have assignments to do," I explained while taking a big bite from my pizza.

"Please?" Sanskaar was the one to ask this time. Was he tagging along too? Oh right he would also have to buy his suit.

"Please?" Laksh asked now.

"You all are so unfair. Okay I will come but only after I finish my work," I huffed while putting my condition in front of them.

"Done deal," Swara exclaimed while Sanskaar and Laksh smiled and nodded.

After eating our meals we left to attend our classes.

---------🔍---------

I am leaving in 5. Be ready.

I am on my way.

I read Laksh's and Swara's message as soon as I finished my assignment. Stretching my hands and legs I stood and walked to my closet.

Grabbing a pair of jeans and a tank top I went to the bathroom to change.

. . .

I sat in the car with Laksh while Swara was coming along with Sanskaar.

"Why were you so excited for this shopping trip. You know right I so hate shopping," I whined to him.

"Thats exactly why I wanted to go," he winked while starting the car.

"I hate you," I said while folding my hands and looking out of the window.

"Nope you love me," he muttered while I smiled at the window.

So much. You got no idea.

"You both go and shop for yourselves while Ragu and I are going this way," Swara instructed grabbing my hand.

"Why can't we come with you both?" Sanskaar asked while making a puppy face.

"No no no. You aren't seeing our dresses before the ball party," Swara smirked while Sanskaar made a sad expression.

And with that we all went to shop.

The first two shops we went had no good stock. Everything was pretty normal like little black dresses and long gowns, and none of them caught our interest. So we decided to check a small boutique which was at the corner of the mall and I guess no one could notice this shop unless they themselves went to check the presence of this shop.

The shop was flooded with antique furniture. It was small but beautiful. There was only an old lady to assist us, she was also the owner.

"Ragu, do you think we will get something here? Like its so mall compared to the previous stores we checked," Swara whispered in ny ears.

"Lets atleast check. Maybe we could get something good here,"

"Oh wonderful pretty young ladies, what are searching for, in particular?" The old lady asked us kindly.

"We want dresses for the ball party in college,"Swara informed her.

"Oh I see, do you both have any particular preferences?" She asked while she turned her head towards the stack of clothes present in the shelves.

"I want something long in blue," Swara said as she had planned earlier.

"And you pretty lady?" She asked me.

"Actually I have nothing planned as such. I just want a dress in which I am comfortable and its kind of pretty," I explained truthfully.

"Oh okay. Lets find something for your this friend of yours and then I'll help you find something perfect for you," she told me while she went inside a room built next to the trial room.

"I don't think we'll get something here Ragu,"

"Shush! Atleast lets see the dresses before you decide,"

The old lady emerged from the room, with some dresses in her hand.

"Girl, just check these maybe you would like a dress from these,"

She hung those dresses in front of us. While Swara scanned through them.

"Oh my god. This is so beautiful, so damn beautiful! I am so buying this. Totally," Swara gushed seeing a long sapphire coloured dress, it had silvery and shining blue coloured upper half which then continued to have a silvery belt and then it flowed down till the floor.

"Its really pretty Swara," I agreed while she left to ty the dress.

"And now for you pretty lady, we have to search something for you,"

I smiled at her.

"I would want to show you a dress, its not the best but I have a feeling that it would be perfect for you and that you would hopefully like it," she told me with hope.

"Yes definetely. I would love to see the dress," I excitedly told her.

"Come with me," she told me to follow her to the room.

The room was a mini shopping mall in itself. So many dresses were kept in the shelves and were put on the mannequins but there was one mannequine which was placed in the centre. And I swear that dress was the most beautiful dress I had have ever seen.

It was a A line princess V-line sleevless asymmetrical ruffled organza red dress. It was so damn beautful. I didn't care whether it was good or not what mattered was that I loved it.

"I guess you are already in love with this dress," the old lady smiled.

"Absolutely! Can I try this?"

"Ofcourse, I have this feeling that it is made for you only," she smiled while removingthe dress from the mannequine.

We returned back to the shop and saw Swara o admiring her dress.

"Ragini, this is perfect isn't it. I am buying this. Did you find a dress?"

"Yes. I am going to try the dress now?"

"Yep go fast, I am dying to see you dress,"

With this I went inside the trial room and tried the dress. I headed outside to show the dress to the small audience outside waiting for me.

"Oh my god! Ragu its so beautiful, you look so hot. So pretty!" Swara excitedly screamed and jumped.

"You look so beautiful young lady," the old woman said.

"I love it too. I am going to buy this,"

"This is the most special dress I have ever designed. I am glad you loved it," the old women said while she gave me a warm smile.

. . .

After buying the dresses we headed out.

"Ragu, lets go and buy matching heels," Swara said.

"Na, I have a new pair of red stilletoes which would match this dress," I told her while she nodded.

"So you wait here, I'll just go and grab a pair and come soon," she said while running inside the store next to the boutique.

While I was standing there, I felt a tap on my shoulder turning around I saw Nikhil Paul, he was a player in our football team and also a friend of Sanskaar.

"Hey, Ragini," he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Hi," I smiled back.

"A-actually I wanted to ask what is you plan for the ball party. Are you going with someone?" He said nervously.

I so wanted to laugh at this situation.

"Yes, I am-" and like always I was again cut off by a voice who sounded angry as hell.

"She is going with me Paul, you can leave," Laksh said while walking towards me and grabbing my waist and pulling me towards him.

I so wanted to laugh again.

"Oh okay," Nikhil said looking extremley embarrassed and left.

"Laksh?" I sang smiling.

"Yes," Laksh sounded angry and his voice laced with jealousy.

"You look so cute when you are jealous," I cooed while giving a peck on his cheek.

"I ain't jealous," he said while his neck turned red.

"Are you sure?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"Hundred percent," he said giving a pointed and confident look.

"Oh okay, but on thinking further Nikhil was undoubtedly hot, wasn't he?" I asked batting my eyelashes.

Giving me a glare he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. Bending he brought his mouth close to my ears.

"You are mine," he said kissing my cheeks and smiled.

I smiled at him too.

"Laksh,"

"Yes?"

"Jealousy looks cute on you," I laughed while he chuckled as well.
