Next day,

Laksh was tapping his foot impatiently sitting on his desk waiting for ragini's arrival in class. He was still feeling guilty to play that prank on her and wanted to apologize to her. Ragini entered in class and sit on the front seat without giving a glance towards where laksh was sitting.

After the class, Ragini pick her bag and about to leave the classroom when laksh rushed towards her.

"Ragini " called he but she ignore his call and headed towards cafeteria.

Laksh follow her to the cafeteria and find her at the counter. He santured in her direction and place his hand on her shoulder.

"Ragini, I am so s........." his sentence left in the middle because ragini poured whole ketchup bottle on his head.

She smirk evilly looking on the floor and left to her table. Laksh,who was about to retreat back, took his next step towards her but landed on the floor right on his bum escaping a loud shriek from his mouth. Everyone present in the cafeteria laugh looking at laksh and ragini smile smugly remembering how she broke eggs on floor for him. She took a sip of her orange juice and came to him and bend on her knees.

"O.. Did it hurt..?? " asked she innocently and laksh scowl. Then she turn her smile in a smirk "Next time think before playing any prank with me. I am not the one who is afraid to revert back. And buddy, it's just the beginning " wink she and left from there.

******************************************************
Devakashi were suppressing their laugh looking at laksh who just came from the washroom cleaning himself.

"I went to say her sorry for yesterday and what she did..!!! I thought to call it truce but I think she want to play this game. So here I am.. And let the game begin" fumed laksh.

"What are you planning to do..??" asked sona curiously.

"Why..?? So that you can go and tell your 'new friends' about my plans ..!! Right..!! " said he stressing on the words new friends.

Sona open her mouth to protest but he beat her to it. " From when you meet that sanky boy, you forgot about your lucky boy totally " said he with twisted lips and crossing his arms around his chest.

Sona chuckled and encircled her hand around his shoulder.

"Sanky is just a good friend and you....You are my stupid buddy whom I love the most. So no one can replace you in my life. No one..!! " said she with cheeky smile.

"Sanky.." muttered dev under his breath with a tinge of jealousy.

" You never call anyone except lucky with their nickname. Than why sanskaar..?? " blurted dev with disdan look.

"See..!! That's what I was telling. She loves sanskaar more than me." sona gave a look and he corrected " Okay..! Not more than me but definitely more than you " said laksh pointing to dev.

" I am with you from 2nd standard but you never called me dev and he just met you two days before and you guys are on nickname basis. You really love him more than me..?? " mumbled dev last part slowly.

Laksh chuckled looking at dev and sona hit him on his arm.

"That's because I like your name devvrat more. And why you two dragging him in between. You two are really special for me. As no one can take place of lucky in my heart, like that no one can replace you devvrat " said she with a genuine smile and dev felt a rush of electricity through his body.

Only her words have that effect on him. How he is going to control his emotions when all he wants to embrace her and stop the world at that moment. He shook his head on his impossible thoughts and guilt ridden on his face to think about her like that. He smile weakly at her and left from there. Solak look in his direction confused and shrug their shoulders.

*****************************************

"I want an ethnic dress sketch by the end of the class, for women. Think it as your first assessment test " announced Mr. Rao and all class starts whispering.

"Silence..!! And your times start now..!! Quick..!!" said he in stern tone.

Ragini collected everyone's sheet and gave it to Mr. Rao after an hour. She turn and gave laksh a extra sweet smile blinking her eyes rapidly. Laksh look at her confused but then smirk thinking about his plan for revenge after the class.

After about 15 mintue, a roar echoed in the room.

" Laksh Khandeeeelwal " came Mr. Rao's voice and laksh stumbled on her seat.

"Is this what I ask you to sketch.?? " seethed Mr. Rao showing the sheet which was submitted under the name of Laksh Khandelwal.

A round of whistle and gasp echoed in the classroom and laksh wide his eyes and coughed badly. Ragini turned in his direction and wink and he shot dagger at her.

"But Sir..I..."

"Detention for a week Mr. Khandelwal. I am sure you would love to show me your marvelous fantasies in the paper " utter Mr. Rao sarcastically and left the class annoyed.

**********************************************

"Sona..please yaar" started sanskaar but she gave him a angry glare. She was pretending angry with him about the revelation of her name saved in his phone.

" You got nothing else to save my no. than to 'Wife Material '. Seriously Sanky..!! " scowl sona and dev wide his eyes.

"He have your number..?? And he saved it by 'Wife Material'?? " asked dev not believing what he heard.

Sona was never the girl who interact with other boys than him and laksh. She never felt comfortable with others but with sanskaar she is too friendly in just two days. Dev grunted under his breath.

" Yupp, because she has all the qualities which I want in wife. Come sona, let's get married today " wink sanskaar playfully and sona hit his arm. Dev fumed when they both started laughing.

"It's not funny " muttered he irritated.

"Devvrat, he is just kidding. Why are you getting angry..?? " asked sona giggling.

Sanskaar wiggle his brows at dev and wink mischievously. He groaned again and muttered 'whatever' with twisted lips.

*******************************************

Ragini was heading out of the class when laksh grabbed her hand and dragged her to an empty room. She wriggled in his hold but he tighten his grip more.

" How dare you..!!" seethed laksh with angry eyes.

"You haven't seen my dare till now buddy. " smirk ragini and laksh gritted his teeth.

" You are going to regret it, what you did today " said he angrily and ragini chuckled.

"We will see. Now go and enjoy your detention. I am sure you would love to show him your marvelous fantasies in the paper " imitated ragini smirking, patting his shoulder and turn to go when laksh hold her back to her place.

" I must say that was really a marvelous fantasy of yours about me, sugar. Why don't I change it into reality for you " said he smirking back in a husky voice, leaning towards her.

Ragini tried to free herself from his grip but he hold more tightly. His hot breath fanning on her earlobe and she wiggled in his grip.

" Should I..?? " asked he maintaining few inches difference between their lips.

Ragini's breath hitched when he lean forward. She was about to kneed him where sun doesn't shine when his next words left her numb.

" What happened 14 years ago Ragini that you are afraid from dark..?? "
