Once Abhay had gone, I spent the evening watching television and spending time with my family. I had my dinner early and went to sleep as it was ten P.M at night. The next two days pass by with me spending some time with my friends. The weekend was over and now it was finally time for the classes to start tomorrow.
The next morning, I get up and take a shower and get ready for my first day at college. I was picking Neha on my way as she stays nearby to my home. I had my breakfast and left to college on my KTM Duke bike we reached college in ten minutes. This year itself I had got my driving license as I turned eighteen.
Parking my bike on my usual place as I was early, I and Neha walk to the administrative office to collect our timetable. On our way to class, I got a call from my elder brother wishing luck. I thanked him with a smile. I had asked Neha to go ahead as I had got the call. Before the class starts, I had to collect a book from library as I have got the subject list. Once I had collected them, I walk back towards the class and take my seat among my friends.
The first class was English subject. A language subject. There were still ten minutes and my best friend Abhay was still not present. I look towards the door and burst out laughing when my best friend collided with a girl and she fell with her things on the floor.
Abhay being the gentle one apologizes and helps her with her things. After that he walks near us and greets us “Good Morning”.
Instantly my eyes stray towards the girl only to find her looking our way. I froze on the spot. “She had beautiful eyes” That was my first observation about her. She was wearing a blue colour print Kurta with leggings. I come out of my thoughts when I was nudged. Immediately I schooled my features and smirked at the girl. I was shocked when she ignored me. Later, the professor introduced the girl as she is new here, and her name is Nishika Jain.
I don’t know what got me attracted towards her, but I was constantly trying to get her attention. Throughout the whole week, I did not leave one single chance to try to talk to her. But she was very good at evading me.
What intrigued me more was that she was immune to my charms?
I did not like it one bit.
She is the chase I want to win by hook or crook. Right now, I was in my car along with Neha. Me and my friends have decided to meet at a café near college.
“Seems like you have the girl on your mind all the time?” I hear Neha saying to me.
Giving her sideway glance, I give her a confused look “Which girl?” I ask her.
“The new one in college” she clarified.
A smirk appears on my lips “she is my next target” I inform her.
She rolls her eyes at me “Don’t you get bore by having your playboy ways?” she asks me.
I chuckle “What can I do if no one resist my good-looking face?”
She shakes her head at me “if things don’t go your way, should I come to the rescue as usual?”
“Of course,” I gave her a meaningful look. Except for Abhay, no one knows that Neha is my pretend nothing else. We are just close to each other and help one another when the time asks for it. For people, she is my on and off gf.
“Fine” she says once again rolling her eyes at me.
“Thanks” I smile at her.
After some time, we reach the café. I parked my car. Then both of us walked hand in hand because of the pretense. Our friends were already waiting for us at a table. The waved as from their spot. I and Neha walked over them and look our seeds.
“So, what’s up?” I ask to no one in particular.
“Roof” says Vansh the funny guy among our group. Everyone burst out laughing and I joined in as well.
“Very funny” saying that I try to smack him on the head, but he was very quick to duck and move away.
“What were you guys doing before we came?” I ask once again.
“We are playing truth and dare” says Abhay with a smirk.
“Are you in it?” asks Rohan with a challenging look on his face.
“Game on Rohan Mehra” I stared right back.
He spins the battle. The bottle spins for few seconds before it stops on me. Everyone was waiting for me to speak.
My eyes connect with Rohan “Dare” I say. He smirks.
“Are you sure?” He taunts.
“I don’t want you backing away when you hear the dare” he added further on.
“Get on it” I say with a daring look.
Abhay, Neha, Vansh, Shivani and Rudra all wait for Rohan to speak.
“You have to make the new girl date you and then break her heart”. He says with a smirk.
“I had expected this from you” I glare at him.
“What?” he asks with his eyebrows raised.
“Are you chickening out” he taunted.
I look at Abhay and he was already shaking his head at me in negative.
I look at Neha and she replied “You have never lost a bet. Besides, she was showing too much of attitude.”
She pointed out to me.
Then I remembered Nishika’s ignorance attitude towards me. “I will make her fall in love with me, and when she least expects it, I will break her heart” I say with a smirk.
Rohan did not look happy about me accepting the dare.
“No, Nishant, this is wrong” says Abhay.
Ignoring my friend, I reply “I want at least six months.”
“Woah that long?” ask Rudra.
“Yeah, because it is going to be my next adventure. Until then, I want all of you to not utter a single word about this to anyone. I want secrecy” My eyes stray on everybody.
“Deal” they chorused, and I relaxed. Because I did not want this thing to reach dad.
