Just Hold On

35

----Pooja's POV----

I could barely focus on my exam, after everything Priya told me yesterday.

Even at home Arya was worried about why I was behaving the way I was but I told her it was nothing.

I finished my test and went outside.

Okay, let's get this over with. I went to go and see if I can find him. I walked almost the entire campus and I finally found him, but he wasn't alone.

Why is Ameesha still around him? I just left from there.

"Kaha thi tum?" Divya asked.

I went on and told her what happen yesterday and what happen now.

"Oh okay, don't worry about it. By the way have you seen Mahek she has my notebook,"she said.

"Find Shehry and you'll find her,"I said.

She laughed, "That's true."

"Okay, I'm going to go and see if I can find her,"she said and left.

I decided to just sit and wait for class to start.

Once it was time to go, I got up and left.

I tried my best to focus on this exam. It was even harder after what I saw.

Come on, you can't fail this!

Once I was done, I turned in my exam paper and left.

Our science professor was going to just be giving the results back and that's it. No lecture today.

We all waited for our names to be called so we can get our result.

I got my paper and didn't even bother looking at it. I felt like I was gonna fail when taking it so what's the point?

"What did you get?"Arya asked.

"I didn't bother checking,"I said. "You?"

"96%,"she said.

"Wow!! Congratulations,"I said.

"Thank you and you just look at it, I'm sure you did good,"she said.

"Okay fine, but you better stay here so I can hurt you for making me check,"I said.

"Uuummm deal,"she said.

I got out my paper and looked at the score.

Woah!! What happened?

"What happened?"She asked.

"Look,"I said and showed her.

"Okay, I'm going to hit you,"she said.

"I could have sworn I would have failed it,"I said.

"How? You got a perfect score, 100%,"she said.

"I don't know,"I said.

"Oh ho, well I have to go or I'll get late for work,"she said.

"Ya go, Sain wait kara ho ga Tumha drop karna ki li,"I teased.

"Kya yaar, kuch bi,"she said.

"Okay bye bye,"I said and she left.

----Waqas' POV----

Where in the world are all the guys? They should have been here by now.

"Hey,"Priya said.

"Oh hey, have you seen the guys?"I questioned.

"Nope, I was going to ask you if you'd seen any of the girls,"she said.

"Well, that answers that. They're most likely with each other,"I said.

"Most likely. Okay, well I got class. I'll talk to you later,"she said.

"Okay bye,"I said and she left.

Now, where can I find at least one of those pairs?

I walked around a bit, and saw Hussna which means Atif was probably there as well.

At least, I found one of you.

I was about to go to them when Ameesha came in front of me.

Here we go.

"What happened? You've been ignoring me so much. You just kissed me and now you're ignoring me,"she said.

"Kissed? When? If you're speaking of the night of formal and the day after we all know it was you,"I said.

"All? Does everyone know?"She questioned.

She motioned for me to turn around and I did.

Oh for the love of God! Not again!

"What the heck is your problem?"I asked.

"She can't be ahead of me. If I cause stress during midterms, she won't be able to,"she said.

Thankfully, Hussna and Atif were behind her by now and thankfully they were just listening and not saying anything.

"Why is that?"I asked.

"Competition makes life fun. I mean she almost had something I didn't so I got rid of the only chance she could have having it,"she said.

"And what was that?" I asked.

"A sibling. We were told her mom was carrying a girl, so Pooja has lost her sister,"she said.

Hussna turned her around and slapped her across the face!

"How dare you?"Hussna asked.

"Me, how dare you even touch me?"Ameesha asked.

"Oh shut up!! You are nothing special!! Just FYI she may have lost a sister but she's also gained five sisters,"Hussna said.

"How?"Ameesha asked.

"Me,Arya, Mahek,Divya and Priya,"she replied.

"Come on guys let's go,"Hussna said and we left.

Can't believe Ameesha did that!! No wonder Pooja hates her. No wonder, she didn't want reasoning. I don't blame her anymore.

"Come on we got like ten minute science class,"Atif said.

"Let's go,"I said.

We left to class and got our results back.

I left after getting my result. I didn't want to be around anyone right now, espically after what I just found out.

I was walking to the parking lot when someone tapped my shoulder.

"Hi,"Pooja said.

"Hi,"I said a bit shocked.

"Can we talk?"She asked.

"Sure,"I said but it came out as a question.

We carried on walking.

"I know this is very very latr, but woh formal vali rath hua kya tha?"She asked.

"You seriously want to know?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do,"she said.

"Alright fine,"I said and told her everything that happened not only that night but any other time that I thought should be clarified today included.

She hugged me when I was done. This girl is really shocking me today.

"I'm so sorry. Maina app kha dil both dukhya. Mujha please maff kardo, mai..."she was going on and on.

I just kissed her to make her be quiet.

"Kya yaar. Kithna boldi ho tum, kabhi toh chup ho jo,"I said.

She just smiled and hugged me so tight. I hugged her back.

Now, things were right.
