Next morning, Rey's house...

Kria was taking a shower while Rey came in to drop clothes for her on the bed. She was surprised to see a beautiful pink flowery top kept on the bed and felt so much gratitude towards Rey. As she came out in the flowery top and her jeans, she saw Rey wearing an apron and serving the breakfast on the table. She was totally impressed to having seen a rich 'spoilt' boy cooking breakfast for her and felt the warmth in her heart on his behalf.

"Smells nice!"

"It's good! Try it!"

"Normally, meri late udhne ke kaaran mostly mein breakfast skip karthi hun!"

"Hmm! I knew it!"

"Kya kaha aapne?"

"Ki tum bahut pretty lag rahi ho!" Kria was surprised at his compliment and couldn't believe he was getting her to blush so easily. Was she falling for him?

"Aur agar tumhein aisi tasty breakfast khaani ho toh you are welcome to stay here!" Kria blushed more but didn't reply. Rey chuckled to her reaction.


St. Louis college...

"Rey?!" Vicky and Nil called out and joined him in the lockers.

"Rey tujhe to pink colour se allergy hein na?" Nil asked and Rey didn't bother looking at him.

"Mein nahi jaantha tha ki tere paas ek pink shirt bhi hein!" Vicky made him realise what they were saying.

"Huhuh! Change hein guys! Life mein changes zaroori hein!" Rey made up an excuse and luckily it was enough for them to leave the topic.

"Kria! Neha seeing you in Rey's car today morning!" Neha told her while they ordered lunch in the cafe.

"Woh, uh woh kya hein na... ki m-meri mom ki gaadi road ke beech kharaab ho gayi aur Rey, uh Rey was passing by... toh woh mujhe ek ride offer ki aur m-meri mom ke kehne par meine accept ki!" They walked to an empty table and Kria started drinking a glass of water.

"Oh okay! Well it is not like tumne Rey ke ghar par thi, right?" Kria coughed on the water soon enough.

"Ew! Behen jee subah-subah se hi bimaar lag rahi hein! Chalo charity work hi sahi, sab paise donate karthe hein iski medicines khareedne! Oh wait a second, iski ilaaj toh plastic surgery hein! Toh sabko kuch zyaada paisa spend karni padegi!" Sharon passed her comment from her table and all the dazzlers in the cafeteria broke into laughter.

"Sharon, bimaar woh hoti hein jo khaana khaane se darthi hein!" Kria spat back and the laughter died out.

Sharon turned in her chair and glared at Kria which she responded back with a smile.

"Wowow! Stalker alert! Shaayad tum meri dieting ke baare mein baat kar rahi ho behen jee! Then listen carefully! I diet, so that I don't become an ugly fatso like you!" Sharon spat the complete metaphorical venom on Kria and it was on. Oh boy, was it on!

But Rinni froze when she stared directly at Kria's dress. "Yeh toh meri jaisi top hein! Jo meine kal raath Rey ko sent ki thi. Toh kya isne mere kaaka se yeh dress chori ki thi?!" She asked herself.

While Sharon and Kria were on a verbal-War, Rey happened to pass through the cafeteria. He noticed how dazzlers and weakling were standing divided facing each other supporting the two bloodthirsty tigresses. He also noticed how intently Rinni was staring at Kria's dress and understood if he didn't do anything, Kria would end up getting humiliated and that too because of him. He suddenly ran between the crowd jumping in between the two girls.

"Kria! Tumhe RDX Sir ne bulaaya hein!" Kria suddenly saw Rey and then decided to stop the war. She glared once more at Sharon and then walked out. The crowd started clearing out. Rey then turned to a confused Rinni.

"Rinni! Thanks for the dress by the way! Kal raat achaanak mujhe humaare team ke costumes ke baarein mein ek idea aayi thi! Meine aaj subah woh tailor ke pass de diya hein!"

"Par costumes ka area toh meri hein na? Tum apni idea mujhe bata deti! Mujhe tailoring aati hein!" Rinni giggled.

"Oh I'm sorry I forgot about that!" Rey said and then sprinted to reach Kria before she reached RDX Sir.


Meanwhile...

"Meine pehle hi tujhe warn kiya tha bhai ki usse panga mat le!" Bharat said as they sat on the staircase at the entrance of the college.

"Haan! Tuh usthi thappal lolge kal saththa tha na yaal?" Amar joined the conversation but in his language.

"Haan kar saktha that uski thappad se dodge! Iski hi kami thi! Mein toh superman hun na!" Swayam said sarcastically.

"Nahi par tuh Swayam Shekhawat hein bhai! Soch, agar tere baap ko pata chaltha hein ki tune kisi ladki ki thappad khaayi toh kya hoga?"

"Toh mein uss informer ko bahut peetunga!"

"Thaise tumne kal unn dono ki kee thi yaa phill..."

"Amar beta, bhagwaan ko thanks bol le, ki tera speech impaired hein! Warna tuh kabki mentally impaired ho jaata pata hein?" Swayam comically threatened his friend. This was the usual. They used to pull each other's legs, piss Swayam off in between but most importantly used to look out for each other like brothers.

"Swayam!" They all turned to the female  voice and found Visakha.

"Hey Vis!" Swayam greeted back as sshe side hugged Amar and nodded at Bharat. Swayam and Amar knew something went between those two but never bothrred to tell it aloud.

"I heard what happened! Just because mein jaanthi hun ki tera yeh exterior shell fake hein is the only reason I'm not much concerned about it okay?!"

"I'm flattered by your honesty Visakha!" Swayam replied tutting a move newr his chest.

"Par phir bhi, tum theek toh ho?"

"Haan Visakha! I mean it didn't hurt at all!"

"I didn't mean about the slap, which you obviously deserved! Sabke saamne mazaak banne mein kya tumhe mazaa aata hein huh?"

"Wahi toh bantaaye hum ithni der se ise samjhaane ki koshish kar rahe the!"

"Pal yeh suntha kabhi nahi!" Amar said.

"Guys streets mein aaye log students banke yahaan bhi kayi hein! Unmein se ek Sharon bhi hein! Kayi log already humaare gang ko notice karne laga hein."

"Haan toh?"

"Guys focus karo! Tum teeno ke saadh woh khuma karthe the right? Ab tumhaare gang mein chawdha member mein hoon!"

"Toh?" Visakha asked.

"Mera naam ka first two letters kya hein idiots?"

"Kya hein?"

"S. W."
