Chapter 1: The Thorn

Xaviers College:

"She's frikkin hot man." Boys whisper to each other as Kavita walks down the corridor, talking to one of her friend.

"Ufff." Few boys sigh and touch their chest, feeling their own heartbeats.

Sanskaar was whistling and his whistle stops as his eyes land on Kavita.

A small smile curves up his lips and he touches his chest, feeling his heart beat.

"She can never be yours dude." Sahil, Sanskaar's friend says while patting Sanskaar's back and bringing him out from his lala land.

"Watch me." Sanskaar, in a challenging tone utters and walks towards Kavita.

She stops and looks at Sanskaar who was smiling at her.

"Hi, my name is Sanskaar and I would like to be your friend."

Kavita arches her eyebrows confusingly with a small smile.

"Umm. . ."

"No." The two hear a voice and look to the side, finding Swara standing there.

"Why not?"

"Because she doesn't want to be your friend, now leave her alone." Swara says and walks away with Kavita.

Sanskaar's face falls and Sahil walks towards Sanskaar. Kavita turns around to look at Sanskaar and his face lights up, Kavita shakes her head in disbelief with a smile and turns back around, walking away with Swara.

They hear a chuckle and look to the side, seeing a boy standing there.

"Keep dreaming Sanskaar. When the biggest thorn is in your way then how can you get her?" Sanskaar's other friend Sheesh says while smirking and Sanskaar frowns at his words.

"That thorn pricks everyone, like for no reason she starts a fight. I accidentally pushed her yesterday and she started barking at me." Sahil irritatedly sighs while referring to Swara.

"Forget the thorn, my focus is on Kavita." Sanskaar says and starts walking.

"Little does he know the thorn should be his focus." Sahil says while following him and Sheesh shakes his head in agreement as well as he follows Sanskaar.

Soon they stop opposite Kavita and see her talking to Swara. Kavita notices Sanskaar and he waves at her with a smile. He then blows a flying kiss towards her, stunning her as well as Sheesh and Sahil.

Before the kiss could reach Kavita, Swara grabs it and stands in front of Kavita, looking at Sanskar. She then looks at her fist and brings it closer to her lips while looking at Sanskaar. He creases his forehead confusingly and she pretends to spit on it and throw it on the floor. She then crushes it beneath her foot making Sheesh and Sahil laugh.

Sanskaar glares at Swara while she curves a small smirk and warns Sanskaar to go back. She then turned to Kavita who was controlling her giggle.

"These boys, huff." Swara sighed and the bell began to ring, alerting everyone to go to their lesson.

As it was lesson time, Kavita and Swara entered their classroom, taking a seat on the last bench in the back and Sanskaar walks towards the window stood, blinking at Kavita.

Sahil and Sheesh make their way, standing behind Sanskaar.

Kavita, while gazing around looks at the window and finds Sanskaar staring at her, he smiles and she controls her smile.

"Oye, do the Priya Varrier wink, I'm sure she'll be flat on you." Sheesh whispers from behind.

Taking Shees's words seriously, Sanskaar lifts one of his eyebrow while she arches them, he then plays with both of his eyebrows, she finally lifts one of her eyebrow and then he winks at her. Kavita presses her lips together to control her smile while the girls in front of her fall back in awe.

"Cute!!" They say and a curve forms up on Sanskaar's lip.

"The person he did it for didn't give a reaction but the girls in the class did." Sahil whispers.

Swara, who was also looking sighs, being fed up of Sanskaar. She waves her hand, hoping he would look at her and he did. A small fake smile forms on her lips and she lifts her middle and index finger up, joining them together. Sanskaar creases his forehead to understand. She rests her thumb on the ring finger and makes sure Sanskaar is watching.

"Is she gunna do the gun kiss shoot?" Sahil whispers, which Sanskaar and Sheesh hear.

Swara points at her own eye and then at his from her other hand's index finger. Sanskaar focuses on every move she does, to understand. Swara's lips curve a smirk and she pretends to pull the slide, Sanskaar had understood and then, she pretends to shoot him.

Sanskaar jerks back and covers his eye. Making an irritated expression while glaring at Swara with his other eye. Sahil presses his lips while Sheesh bursts into laughter. Kavita giggles seeing Sanskaar's reactions and seeing her giggling, Sanskaar slowly slides his hand down from his eye and curves a smile on his lips.

"Ufff! That Swara is savage." Sheesh says and Sahil eventually starts laughing.

Swara snaps her fingers in front of Kavita and Sanskaar comes out of his small dream world. Sahil and Sheesh stop laughing, watching her next move along with Sanskaar. Still staring at Sanskaar, Swara spreads her finger and thumb which indicates smile and Sanskaar understands she was talking about the smile he had on his lips. Swara then brings her finger and thumb together, forming a fist and throws it at him. Telling him his smile isn't needed.

His lips form a frown and Sheesh and Sahil pull him away from the window. While managing to see his frown, Kavita smiles and shakes her head in disbelief.

"Bas kar, how much more insults will you eat?" Sheesh taunts and Sanskaar forms an irritated face.

"That Swara, she's ruining all my chances." Sanskaar complains, clenching his fists to control his anger which was rising.

"She's a thorn who's in everyone's way." Sahil utters with the same irritation as he also doesn't like Swara.

"Look bhai, if you want to get to Kavita then you will need to pull that thorn out and throw it to the side, that's when your way will be clear." Sheesh advices and Sanskaar looks at him, willing to hear more.

"And how would I do that?"

"That's your job, my job was to only give an advice. Now the planning and plotting is all yours."

Sanskaar sighs and gives Sheesh a look. "For that we need to study the thorn first."

"Hmm."

"I'm not even studying the S of that Swara."

Sheesh and Sanskaar look at Sahil.

"You can just stand there then." Sanskaar says and Sheesh starts to think.

"Every college person knows she's a barking dog, what else do you want to know about her? She literally hates boys and always fights with everyone. What does she even get by troubling poor innocent boys like us." Sahil complains and sighs, shaking his head in disbelief.

"That's the reason why she's a loner, don't know why a hottie like Kavita is with that jungly thorn." Sheesh says and looks at Sahil who agrees with his words.

Sanskaar, who was thinking finally gets an idea. Smirk sneaks up on his lips and he turns to Sahil and Sheesh who see his smirk, understanding his devilish brain played a game.

**

The lesson was over and Kavita walked out with Swara.

"Nah, I've got a music practice after college. You enjoy."

"Swara, this is not fair. You have to come, please."

"But. . ."

"Please." Swara finally gives in and shakes her head, agreeing to Kavita.

"Thank you." She thanked and smiles at Swara.

Kavita's eyes soon land on Sanskaar who was walking from the other direction, Swara had also seen him and stops, making Kavita stop as well.

She shows her palm, stopping him and signs him to move back. He smirks, now enjoying Swara's reactions to his approach.

"What is it? Can't you understand once? Keep a distance and just leave her alone." Swara shouts from a distance, making everyone who were near and walking by to stop and stare.

Sanskaar feels awkward and curves a small frown while staring at Kavita.

Kavita was simply blinking, not uttering a word and Sanskaar shifts his gazes towards Swara, forming serious expressions. He totally ignores what Swara shouted and takes his steps forward.

He stops in front of Kavita, merely looking at her with a small smile. Kavita doesn't reciprocate to the smile and Swara just rolls her eyes, not liking Sanskaar's presences anywhere near her and her friend. Seeing his hands slide down to his pocket, Kavita slightly curves her eyebrows but her eyes slightly widen in shock after seeing him pull out a rose, which he then forwards it to her.

Kavita's gazes move to the flower and then at him again. "Accept my friendship."

Swara, within few seconds after he had said that, snatches the rose and both Sanskaar and Kavita glance at her.

She curves a fake smile "It seems like you don't understand things simply. . ." She trails off, beginning to pluck the rose petals, shocking Sanskaar.

After plucking the petals, she throws them on the floor along with the stem and steps on it, rubbing it to the ground while making her fake smile disappear.

"Last warning!" Swara warns and grabs Kavita's hand, taking her away.

Sanskaar clenches his fist, controlling his anger and turning around to see Swara and Kavita walk away. "You watch Swara, I'll surely win Kavita and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. What had this poor rose done to you? You just murdered it heartlessly, I will definitely take revenge for this rose." Sanskar says to himself in a promising tone which, by the sounds of it seemed like he was ready to start his plan. Or has he started.

To Be Continued . . .
