With KD's return at Royal Academy, everything seemed to be
returning back to normal, at last! Well, almost everything.
Panchi Roy had gone through several stages of emotions that morning.Frustration, sadness, denial, stress and
finally, anger. Flashes of Ranveer
calling her a 'teddy bear' in front of his latest catch, a 'gossip monger' to
her face, and many other incidents of him taking her for granted came before
her eyes.
'Enough is enough. I'm
not going to be treated like a doormat forever!' she said to herself as Kiya's words
flashed like a warning signal in her head. 'The ones that make you cry aren't
worth it'.
Best friend or not - from here on, Ranveer Shergill wasn't going to treat her like some sort of garbage.
She'd had enough! And plus, there was no need for her to change who she was and
what she looked like!
Panchi smiled happily and took a large bite of her Dairy Milk
as she continued to bask in her latest epiphany.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she really had no
idea where she was going and that, obviously resulted in her colliding against
a solid frame. Her balance gave way and she was just about to crash her bum to
the floor when suddenly a strong hand grabbed hold of her arm. She had her eyes
shut tightly and therefore, didn't get a chance to catch a glimpse of her savior
until she heard a soft voice calling out.
'Caught you! Are you okay?' At this, Panchi opened her eyes
slightly as she looked at the guy who'd just saved her from making an absolute
fool out of herself.
'Yes, I'm fine, thank you!' she smiled gently as she lifted
herself with his help and straightened her uniform.
OHMYGOD. WHO IS THIS
GUY and WHY on God's green Earth have I NOT seen him around campus!!? I swear
he's the hottest person I've ever seen next to Tom Felton. And Tom Felton's
SMOKING HOT.
Panchi was pulled out of her reverie as she saw a hand waving across her
eyes. 'Oh, erm. Yes?' So she was saved from falling flat on her butt but THIS
was the way she was making a fool out of herself? UNBELIEVABLE! Where are the good
luck charms when you need them!?
The guy was smiling lightly and was saying something along
the lines of 'Can you help? We're new here and we'd like to know where the
principal's office is?'
Her first thought was along the lines of: WHY would someone wanna join Royal NOW? I mean, after the scandal and everything else? Oh well, not that I'm complaining! New people! Victory dannnceee!'
Panchi shook her hand finally decided to pay attention
to what he was saying rather than his oh-so-hot-face and his to-die-for body.
And as soon as he said 'we', her eyes snapped to the girl standing with them.
She blinked once, twice, thrice. There was SO much
similarity between the two that she was lost for words. She flicked her head back and forth from the guy to the girl, then back to the guy.How can two people be
SO gorgeous?! Were the gene-Gods on holiday when it was time for me to get mine? Gah, curse
my stupid...
She was once again brought out of her chain of thoughts as
she heard chuckles from both the people standing before her. Dammit, she'd have looked like a she was watching a tennis match, with her head going back and forth!
'I'm sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Arjun Khanna
and this is my twin, Payal Khanna'. Realisation dawned on Panchi's face as she chuckled along with the twins.
'Hi, I'm Panchi Roy, it's very nice to meet you both and as
far as my blanking out is concerned, I apologise! The principal's office is on the 2nd
floor, up the stairs and then to the right'.
The twins put out their hands for her to shake and she was
at a loss of which hand to take first, so she took out both and somehow managed
to shake their hands; an action that caused all the three of them to laugh and
part ways.
This was going to be
an extremely interesting day, Panchi thought to herself as she made her way
to English class.
