Karan got ready and went for his class. Class hasn't begun yet. He saw Yuvi talking to Arti. After bell rang Arti went towards her class. "She is hot na?" asked Karan as he came towrds Yuvi "Yeah bro! She is damn hot" Yuvi was still lost in Arti "Hey Yuvi! What about your girlfriend? You didn't say me about your relationship man! I thought you said me everything" Karan acted very hard to sound angry but when he noticed that Yuvi is still lost in his thoughts he headed for the class. suddenly Yuvi realised what Karan said "Hey wait Karan! What did you say just now? My girlfriend?"
"Yeah you heard me right" replied Karan trying to hide his smile,
"How did you know? I mean, do you know who is she?"Yuvi was very tensed,
"Time for class. Talk to you later" replied Karan as he entered the class.
"When did Karan became so serious about the class?" Yuvi said to himself, amused.

In the class Abha was sitting with Kriti in 4th row. Kriti was looking at Simron, she called Abha and wishpered "Hey! Look at Simron, her eyes are red and puffed. She must have cried the entire night for her break up. It served her the best! She didn't deserve a handsome and dashing guy like Karan!" "Yeah you must be very happy. Now you will thinking about yourself and Karan!" Abha sounded disinterested.
Professor entered the class, everyone stood up and sat back. It was now Abha realised that on her other side Karan was sitting. She didn't mind that much but Karan just couldn't stop grinning.

After class Abha and Kriti came out, Karan called her from back "Abha! Wait a second! Here your diary, you left in the drama room last evening." giving the diary he turned acting as though it's casual but inside he hoped that Abha would stop him. Abha was suprised that her diary was with Karan. "Excuse me!" she called him, Karan's hope came true and he turned immediately "Yeah?" Karan tried hard to hide his smile "You umm... didn't open this right?" Abha asked "Oh no! I don't have time to touch my books even, I didn't open your diary" Karan felt immense happiness in telling a lie "Oh! thanks" Abha said and went.
Yuvi came to Karan who was still standing there and smiling "Hey bro! Something surely happened you seem to too happy today and today you sat in the front rows that too with Abha and now talking with her. Something is really fishy.. Tell me what's going on" Yuvi said in a suspicious tone " Nothing bro! See I am happy thats because last evening I and Simron broke up and today I sat there because I found a seat there and actually now, I was giving Abha her diary back, she forgot that in the drama room." Karan lied perfectly. Yuvi was still looking at him unconvinced, so to defend himself he asked "Leave all this, say me about you and Arti what's the matter" Yuvi turned red "Not again, don't start asking me from where did I come to know this. I have my own spies all over the place" Karan said in a mystical voice "Come let's go to canteen, there I'll say you the entire story" Yuvi thought it's no good asking him further anything.
In the canteen Karan sat on the table just next to the one where Abha was sitting and talked a bit louder so that Abha can hear him "Oh yaar! I was fed up with her! A hell lot of tantrums to handle! But I have learnt a lesson that never choose a girl not by her looks. You know, best people are those" Karan acted as if he was thinking "Umm.. who are child at heart."
Abha was listening all this and even she can make out that there was something wrong with Karan, but she didn't bother the thing so much.
Next few days Karan would do the same thing - sat in the class near Abha, tried hard to talk to her (though he wasn't successful all the time). Even if he wasn't able to do this, he never missed to admire her during drama sessions. He longed to get a chance to talk to her but since fest was approaching near, all the students were very busy. Now his only hope was that he could talk to her during the fest..
