The next morning came. Alric had a good night sleep. He remembered yesterday's events and smiled at himself. Hirdh! Wow! What a girl! Very bold and gorgeous. He went to his class room with a smile on his face and attended all his classes effectively. Few of his professors appreciated him for being attentive. He had an on spot seminar. He got a good applause. He was happy that he was back to normal. He was in his usual josh. Nick found big differences in his activities and realized that his sweet friend falling for her. Well, Hirdh was an extraordinary girl, matching him perfectly. He wanted Alric to realize this on his own. So, he moved on to his next class, walking with Alric.

Their next class was mathematics, where they could meet Jose, Dharshi and Sriya, while Hirdh along with Stephen would be at their Science class. Hirdh stayed in his mind throughout the day and he was thinking about their hot embrace yesterday, because of which he failed to notice Jose tapping his back. Jose was blinking out of confusion. When he turned towards Nick, he was staring at Dharshi and she was smiling at him.

"mmm... seems all are in their own world..." Jose. Sriya was giggling at how people in love behaved and motioned Jose to class, leaving them behind.

"Hey Hirdh!" suddenly Jose bursted out.

At once, everybody's head looked at his direction. Jose gave a thumbs up to Sriya, who was ROFL for getting their attention while Nick was startled and Dharshi was chuckling.

And Alric was searching all over that place, as if his eyes were scanning for a microscopic object in air. When he couldnt find her, he turned towards them. All were looking at him amused and Nick was chuckling at him and tapped him to come back to the class. Alric's cheeks started to turn pink when he realized Jose's trick to get their attention. He smiled to himself and told his "hi" to all and left the place to their class.

"oohoo! Someone is falling for someone" Jose said, while Dharshi nudged him to shut up.

"who are that someone and someone?" Sriya.

"nothing Sri" Nick nicknamed her.

She rolled her eyes saying, "whatever" and went to class.

Nick nodded his head to Jose seeing Alric and Dharshi whispered "Hirdh" at his left ear.

Jose smiled and was happy for his sis friend. But still he couldn't believe that his sis has grown a lot to get into a relationship.

Sriya saw Jose's expression and questioned him, Jose shook his head, called her a nerd and told her the sweet news. Sriya jumped up and down and was about to call Alric, when Dharshi stopped her, putting her palm on her mouth.

Sriya raised her eyebrows. Dharshi, " they are yet to figure that out. So, wait till they figure it out Sri."

Sri nodded her head laughing at how silly people behave when it all rolls down to love.

Dharshi was at her peak form when they had a sudden test and scored full, while all others scored 2 to 3 marks lesser than her. Nick was impressed at her and pecked her on her lips, making her blush.

"Enough snogging u two. Get a room. This is classroom" someone shouted from behind them. They laughed at each other and left the class, to meet Hirdh waiting for them along with Stephen at cafeteria at their usual round table at the left most corner, so that they can have their own private world.

As soon as Alric saw her, their eyes glued to each other. Alric smiled while Hirdh blushed as yesterday's incidents rolled out in her mind. She was mesmerized at how manly Alric was looking, even in a plain white formal shirt and a black pant. She smiled at him. Meanwhile, Dharshi pulled Hirdh by her waist, making Hirdh squeak. Everyone laughed at how cute these two were. And how they are falling for each other.

Stephen, " why are you guys laughing? Whats wrong with you all?"

"Nothing kiddo" Dharshi

"I'm not a kiddo." Stephen defended.

" of course you are!" all others shouted at him, while Alric held his sight only at Hirdh.

"no! I'm not! Seriously guys! Tell me whats happening. And don't treat me like a kiddo anymore. I'm fed up with this kiddish character." Stephen bursted out.

Hirdh and Alric's eye contact broke up due to his sudden outburst and Hirdh kindly looked at Stephen, "whats up Stephen? Why are you shouting?"

" oh ! you never knew what happened here? Do u? don't act dumb. It doesn't suit u Hirdh!" Stephen stormed out of the table, really getting pissed off by all their behavior.

'They are upto something. And they are not telling me. Im gonna find it out. For sure. And ...', Stephen's thoughts were interrupted when he saw a girl of his height, wearing a light blue top and black jean. Her hair was light brown and wavy. She was laughing crazily with one of her friends. When she saw him, she smiled a little, but continued to laugh, something which no girls do. Usually girls drop their smile and try to move away when a stranger looks at them.

'She is different' he thought. He forgot about his outburst and went back to cafeteria to join them. He muttered a sorry for being late! For being late!! He was smiling to himself when Hirdh saw him.

"a girl huh?" Hirdh whispered at him when he said, "no!" too early, confirming that he was lying.

Hirdh left the topic to save him from embarrassment, for which he was thankful for. Dharshi pecked on Hirdh's cheeks and waved a bye.

Dharshi and Nick went the other way round, taking half a day off to some nearby park and they expressed their feelings to one another. And officially, Dharshi became Nick's girl friend. Dharshi texted about this to Jose and Stephen got a bit angry. Stephen was always a protective lil bro. But soon understood her feelings for him and felt happy. Dharshi and Nick had their lips locked for minutes and came back to their respective hostels.
