"And ?",I narrow my eyes.
"And what ?",he shrugs,"We all danced, partied,and then dispersed after a while.
I critically assess Avyukth, daring him to lie. He looks away though,glaring at something to his left. I frown, a... junior?
"So. Dhruv tried to provoke Nikhil,but Nikhil ceased the conversation down before it escalated?What exactly happened?"
"Sandy", Avyukth sighs, wrapping an arm around my shoulder,"You know I'll tell you if I think it's something you should know,right?",he glances at me sideways.

"Are you going somewhere?""Yes",I go through my cupboard,look down at whatever I'm already wearing."Where? Withwhom?"I give Anshu a you-know-who look."Where are you going?",she repeats."Dinner."She scans my attire,"You look fine,if it's just dinner, unless you haveotherplans,you know."I try hard to keep the blush out,as I roll my eyes, underplaying it even if my heart raced for a second,"Lol.""Are you returning?"I frown,"What?"
