As Shubman arrived at the college, his eyesnaturally sought out Sara in the crowd. The sight of her in a graceful blacksaree took his breath away. The way the fabric draped elegantly over hershoulder, the subtle sparkle of her blouse, and the few loose strands of hairframing her face made her look absolutely mesmerizing. He couldn't help butfeel a flutter of excitement and admiration. His mind raced with thoughts andemotions.

Shubman said to himself, "Stop it, Shubman. You hate her."

He tried to shake off his thoughts, but then Sara walked towards him, her presence impossible to ignore. She asked, "Are you fine, Shubman?"

Shubman blinked, caught off guard. "Y-yeah. I am fine."

Shivaay, noticing their interaction, approached with a scowl. "Sara, why are you here? What are you doing with this Malhotra?"

Sara replied calmly, "He is my project partner, Shiv." Shivaay nodded reluctantly, casting a threatening glance at Shubman, who met his glare with equal intensity.

Sara turned back to Shubman, "Shubman, is it okay if you give me your number so that we can contact each other for the project?"

Shubman nodded, sharing his contact number with her, adding, "Don't give it to Shivaay."

She nodded in agreement and walked away. Shubman couldn't help but have a small smile on his lips as he watched her leave. Indeed, she looked very pretty. His phone buzzed, snapping him out of his thoughts. Someone had tagged him in a random post. He opened it and saw Sara's post. His smile grew as he admired her photo.

Abhishek noticed his friend's distraction and asked, "Where are you lost?"

Shubman shook his head, "Nowhere, Abhi. Chal, let's go to the auditorium."

As they made their way to the auditorium, the festivities began. Soon, Sara took the stage for her dance performance. Shubman's eyes were glued to her, unable to look away. Her movements were graceful, and her expressions captivating. He found himself smiling the entire time, completely enthralled by her performance.

Tunisha nudged Abhishek, whispering, "Look at Shub. He can't take his eyes off Sara."

Abhishek chuckled, "Seems like someone is having a change of heart."

Kamlesh overheard and added, "Maybe this project will bring them closer."

The performance ended, and the crowd erupted in applause. Sara took a bow, her eyes scanning the audience until they met Shubman's. For a brief moment, they shared a look of mutual acknowledgment.

As the day went on, Shubman couldn't shake the image of Sara dancing from his mind. He knew he was in for a challenging project, not because of the work, but because of the emotions he was trying so hard to deny.

The day continued with various activities and programs. The college was buzzing with energy, and the ethnic day had added a festive atmosphere to the campus. Shubman couldn't stop thinking about Sara's dance performance. Her grace and elegance had left a lasting impression on him.

After the dance performances, it was time for some games and activities. The students were divided into teams, and the Fusion Five found themselves on opposite sides with the Five Dynamics. The friendly competition brought out their playful sides, with everyone cheering, laughing, and having a great time.

During a break, Shubman found a quiet spot under a tree to gather his thoughts. He pulled out his phone and scrolled through the photos from the day. There were several pictures of Sara, each one capturing her beauty and charm. He sighed, realizing he couldn't deny his feelings any longer. Just then, Sara approached him.

"Hey, Shubman. What are you doing here all alone?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.

Shubman quickly put his phone away and smiled, "Just needed a break from all the noise. How about you?"

Sara sat down next to him, "I saw you sitting alone and thought I'd check on you. You sure you're okay? You still seem a bit off."

Shubman hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm fine, Sara. Just... thinking about a lot of things."

Sara nodded understandingly, "I get that. This project might be a good distraction for both of us. We can meet after classes tomorrow to start working on it."

Shubman agreed, "Yeah, that sounds good. I'll see you then."

They sat in comfortable silence for a few moments, the festive sounds of the campus providing a pleasant background. Suddenly, Avneet and Abhishek called them over to join the rest of the group.

As they walked back together, Shubman couldn't help but feel a strange sense of anticipation. He knew that working closely with Sara on the project would be both a challenge and an opportunity to understand his feelings better.

The evening ended with a grand finale in the auditorium, where everyone gathered for a final celebration. There were music, dancing, and a lot of laughter. Shubman and Sara found themselves standing next to each other, occasionally exchanging glances and smiles.

After the festivities, they all returned home, exhausted but happy. Shubman lay in bed, reflecting on the day's events. His thoughts kept drifting back to Sara. He knew that tomorrow would be the start of something new, and he couldn't wait to see where it would lead.
