Haniya's POV:-

I was alone in our room. I woke up a little late today and Selena already left for university. I was so damn excited as Sir Jacob said that he will make teams today!

Just two days were left for the competetion. It would be heck of experience for me.

I hurriedly got up and took a quick shower and after wearing my shirt and jeans along with black sneakers and letting my hair open I headed outside.

As I was in the middle of the campus I remembered that I forgot my specs in the room beacause of excitement. I mentally laughed at myself.

No one is as excited as I am.

I was walking towards the hall when I suddenly bumped into someone as his all books fell down and he huffed.

"Can't you see?" I could feel that he was glaring at me but I didn't look up.

I started picking up his stuff as he also bent down for the same purpose. While I was collecting his books our heads bumped again.

"Ouch!" He and I mouthed at the same time as we sat on the ground.

As my eyes met his I was shocked for a while because there was a nerd standing infront me. He was wearing glasses and as he had books I thought that he must be a genius.

"Its my favourite book! These notes are so important" he almost said to himself while dusting off his books which I just gave him. An angry frown was plastered on his forehead.

"I'm so sorry!" I bit my tongue and muttered.

"No no its completely fine! You know books are my best friends!" He stated and laughed. I also smiled awkwardly.

With that I took my way and started walking towards my destination.

Reaching at the hall I saw Selena, James and Shayaan talking to eachother. It was so crowded as everyone who were participating were gathered.

"Hey guys!" I shouted waving my hand to get their attention. Few guys looked at me in a strange way on which I frowned.

Stop staring you weirdos! I'm not a ghost!

Reaching upto those three idiots aka my besties I took a breath as I was running uptil now.

"Woah! Hello miss who are you?" Shayaan exclaimed on which I frowned.

"Seriously Shayaan?" I questioned.

"Wow!" James exclaimed taking a tour of me from head to toe and suddenly I felt concious about myself.

"Who are you girl?" James asked the same questionas as Shayaan and he exchanged glances making me huff in annoyence.

"Can you guys stop annoying my bestie?" Selena smacked their heads and they laughed.

"Did I tell you Selena that I love you?" I blew a flying kiss in her direction.

"So many times babe!" Selena winked.

"I love her more!" James put his hand on her waist and pulled her closer.

"Lets go Haniya! They started again" Shayaan rolled his eyes at them as I laughed.

"By the way I don't talk to strangers!" I stated while flipping my hair in attitude on which Shayaan glared at me.

"I didn't know that bookworm can look this gorgeous?" Shayaan acted impressed of my looks.

"Happy realization Shayaan!" I laughed.

"You look so happy! Any special reason?" He asked.

"Yeah! The competetion!" I replied anthusiastically.

"Wow great!" Shayaan clapped and I laughed again.

"You are looking so different today!" Shayaan smiled at me.

"Should I take it as a compliment or as a taunt?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Fine I accept! You look really pretty!" He ran his hand in his hair while saying.

"Thank you!" I smiled back.

"Haniya! I saw that guy which Melisa was talking about. Gosh he is hot as hell!" Selena said nudging me by my arm.

"Really? I'm getting curious to see him now!" I accepted and Selena smiled cheekily.

"I can feel ya babe!" She assured.

"Silence!" Sir Jacob stated as soon as he entered the hall.

He came and stood at the stage.

"As you all know that the debate competetion is in two days so ya'all have to work really hard. There will be four teams. So should I start grouping you?" Sir Jacob said looking at us.

"Yes Sir!" We all replied in unision.

"Blake!
Samantha!
Loren!
Shayaan!
Steven!
Haniya!

You people are in the same team!" Sir Jacob said pointing at us.

Amazing! All the dumbest people are with me.

He made other three teams as well. James and Selena were not in our team and I felt bad.

"There will be 3 rounds! One team will be eliminated at the end of every round.

So hope you guys are satisfied with your teams and I hope everyone will do well!" Sir Jacob ended and walked outside leaving everyone talking to eachother.

I have to tell them that I can't lose just because they are with me. No! I'm definietly not being proud of myself I just want to win.

As I moved to the corner where everyone from our team was standing I heard someone saying my thoughts aloud to the others. His back was turned towards me and I couldn't see his face. Shayaan was also standing among the others who was yawning as expected.

Can he ever change?

"You all have to do your best because I want to win! If anyone want to ask something you guys can come upto me" he said while dancing his hands in the air.

"Allright Steven we will make you proud!" Loren smiled at him cheekily and I rolled my eyes.

Clingy people everywhere!

I walked and stood beside Shayaan who was giving me a *save me please* look.

My eyes caught the sight of the person standing infront of me.

The same guy I bumped into in the morning.

"Hey are you the new guy in our university? That medical student?" I couldn't stop my urge to ask him his identity.

"Yeah! How do you know?" He frowned answering me.

"Who doesn't?" I stated as a matter of fact tone and he smile in agreement.

He also know how hot he is!

"I'm haniya!" I stretched my hand towards him as he shook it slightly.

"I'm Steven!" He said.

"Lets go bookworm" Shayaan poked my arm showing me a puppy dog face and I smirked at him.

"Bookworm?" I heard Steven frowning to himself as we started walking away. I laughed at his confused expression.

Thats my nick given by one of my closest friends. No matter how much I say that I hate this name but I do like it!

Shayaan's POV:-

Today Haniya was looking so gorgeous that I thought that this girl was not even her. She look cute in her as always nerdy look but today was just a bit different for my eyes.

"Haniya? How will I compete!" I said as we sat in the caffeteria.

"Just like I will do! Just like others will do" she shrugged her shoulders casually and my mouth left open.

This is like the most difficult task for me. Much difficult than choosing the required shirt among the factory of shirts I have.

"You will help me? Right?" I asked her hoping for a yes.

If she won't then my reputation will go into garbage. And Sir Jacob will chop my ass into pieces.

"What if I say no?" She smiled meekily.

"Then I'll come in your dreams and haunt you after I'll die!" I stated acting scary.

"Wow! I'm not affraid of ghosts. Anything else?" She asked with a sarcastic expression.

"Come on Haniya!" I hit her arm playfully pouting at her.

"Its a sure thing Shayaan! I'm Always there to help you!" She pressed my hand assuringly and finally I felt relieved.

"You are the best!" I winked at her.

"Tell me something which I don't know" she blew on her nails acting proud.

"Proud much?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Not at all! Just teasing you!" She winked and I smiled.

As everyone was busy preparing for the competetion so we went back. I accompnied Haniya to her dorms as Selena was still with her Romeo. After dropping her I went upto my car and by jamming on the music I drove to my apartment.
