-BACK TO PRESENT-
As soon as fest time hits, everyone automatically cheers up. Our annual fest is something even outsiders look forward to. It's not just the ball dance, it's a 2-day fest. In the day, we have exhibitions and concerts, with loud music and DJs.
Now that we are fully fledge into the fest after exams, classes were declared to a half day, and the annual fest usually ends with the final football match of the Inter School League.
As of today, classes went by in a blur, we were finally told to go to our respective practices, people who weren't in the dance, were selected for different exhibitions.
All that mattered is that we were all together in it, as soon as we entered the gym, it was converted to a temporary dance studio, music and mic checks were already happening, and in the middle of the already assembled crowd, my eyes met Siddharth's, blazer now abandoned, sleeves rolled up and top button undone. I was really mad at him; we haven't talked properly but in front of others and well Nikhil and Priya, we had to play along. "Alia... Alia, kaha kho gayi?", Riya asked pulling me out of my thoughts. "Huh? kuch nahi, vo kuch soch rahi tho", I replied not knowing any other excuse to give.
"Okay students, please get into your assigned pairs, and also, by tomorrow latest, we need a confirmation of your dresses and your fits", the speaker suddenly echoing Ms Disuza's voice overly.
I walked over to my dear partner, he didn't even care to look at me, why is he sulking now? He's the one who said all the stuff to me, and ever since, guilt has been gnawing me from inside.
On my left, I see Ishaan whisper something in Vaani's ear, and she laughs, hmm, haven't these 2 gotten too close since Varanasi, anyways, I tear my gaze to the enemies, fighting as usual over Rahu's NIKES or something, I chuckle to myself as I look back at Siddharth
The music swelled the gym and everyone started grooving to the beat, "If you step on my foot today Siddharth, I swear the next thing you're gonna trip on are the stairs", I said while smiling.
Suddenly, Siddharth pulled me close by the waist, "Wow, look at us, so in love. Keep smiling like that Alia, maybe someone will actually believe you aren't currently trying to burn a hole through my skull with your eyes", he said casually spinning me around.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings, Sid? Last I remembered, you were the one who did that, I guess helping me was that big of a chore", I replied clearly being done.
"Feelings Alia, you're obsessing over someone who clearly cheated on you and doesn't deserve you.", he said dipping me slightly cause Ms Disuza was inspecting everyone.
