Sagar's POV
I have not enjoyed parties since she went away without saying anything...
I went to my room and switched on the lights. I wanted to see her once again so I opened my almirah and looked at her pictures which were taken 10 years ago..... She looked so beautiful in them. In most of the pictures, she was in school uniform. She still looked fresh as a flower.
I knew that was wrong, but I used to click her pictures without her knowing it.
Flashback
I still remember the day when she came to our school as a new admission. It was the first class of the day. We all were amazed when we heard our class teacher saying that we have a new admission in our class and we have to co-operate with her as she took admission in the mid-session. Our school never admitted a student in midterm then why now?
" Ma'am but the school never allow new admission in the mid-session... " Vikram said.
" Yes but this is a special case as her father just got transferred here and we have to consider the transfer cases. Anyways please co-operate with her. " our teacher said.
Just then peon came to the class and the teacher nodded at someone who was standing at the door.
A tall, beautiful and very confident girl walked in. I could not look at her face but confidence was oozing out of her body language. She wished our teacher and gave her introduction. Then she turned and said,
" Hello everyone...... I am Damini Shrivastav. Till now I was studying in Bombay ( now called Mumbai). My father got transferred, so we shifted here. I loved my old schools and had many friends there. I hope that I enjoy studying here as well..... Thank you. "
She was wearing a light Lemon coloured dress.....and it was reflecting a golden glow on her face. She was so beautiful just like an angel right from heaven... And her voice... Awesome. It was sweet and melodious... I was sure that she sang well.
That was good as I also sing very well......
" Close your mouth Sagar, you are giving an invitation to all kind of insects to visit it. " Said Gautam who was sitting next to me.
" What??? "'
" Nothing I just said close your mouth. " He said and grinned.
Idiot...
" Beautiful girl..... Right ?? " Gautam said.
" Hmmm, she is ok... " I just shrugged.
" Doesn't look like you think she is just ok... I mean the way you were looking at her... " Gautam was laughing.
" Don't try and act smart ... " I glared at him.
" I am smartest of us all and there is no doubt about it. ... " Gautam said with a smirk.
" What is going on?? " Vikram asked, he was sharing his desk with Sahil. And were seated just behind us. "
" Nothing... Gautam has gone crazy. " I said.
" What ??? I am perfectly alright, you have gone crazy. He was looking at that new admission with his mouth open. " He started laughing.
" She is hot... " Sahil said. I turned and glared at him. He used to say the same for every girl. But he looked more interested in this girl.
" Why are you glaring at me Bhai?? " Sahil asked me.
" Nothing... " I said and looked towards her who took her seat beside Anshu.
The class was over soon. Many girls went to meet her and she was laughing and smiling. She made a few friends in just a matter of 5 minutes. I just could not take my eyes off her.
The chemistry teacher walked in. She talked to her and started teaching. Ma'am asked many questions as she just was about to start a new topic and new admission knew the answers to all the questions.
The teacher asked her, that how does she know them and she said that she had covered that topic in her last school.
Every guy in the class was looking at her, even my friends and my twin. I don't know why I was getting restless.
Lunch break came and Rahul and Mehul also came to our class. They both had opted for commerce stream, while Vikram, Gautam, Sahil and I had taken up science.
" Hey, I saw that you had a new admission in your class. " Rahul said. He was looking for her thank God she was not in class.
" Hmmm "
" I just had a glimpse of her she is hot yaar... " Mehul said.
" Don't you all have any other work? " I said to them.
" No dumbo... This is the lunch break. " Gautam said and everyone started laughing.
And then she entered the classroom with Anshu and other girls. All the guys were ogling at her.
Just then I saw our head boy and his friends coming to our class they pretended that they came to meet us. But their eyes were following her.
" So juniors how are you people doing? " Yash said. He was in class 12 and was the head boy of our school.
" Great... What brings you here? " I was being restless and rude.
" We were just passing from here and thought that we must stop by as you people didn't come out today... " he said.
" Let's go out now... " I got up to leave but Yash made me sit.
" Let it be... We are already here... " He kept looking at her. But thankfully the break got over very soon and they all had to away.
" You looked very uneasy Bhai... What happened?? " Sahil asked.
" Yes, but I don't know why? " I said.
" But I think, I know... " Sahil said and winked at me.
" What does that mean?? "
" You felt attracted to the new girl. "
" Nonsense.... "
" You can't hide anything from me. I know you inside out. "
" Concentrate on your books... " I told him.
" I will just tell this to yourself," Sahil said and opened the books for our next class.
The school time got over and we all were leaving the class when I heard a melodious voice.
" It was so much fun there. I had a big gang of friends. Out of them, Sagar was the craziest one. " the new girl was saying.
What?? Why was she calling me crazy??? I turned to see her and gave her a big smile.
She looked at me and made a face as if she was confused.
" Why is he smiling at me? " She asked her friend Anshu. Anshu was a very cute and shy girl.
" He is in our class and I think his name is Sagar," she said shyly.
" What do you mean by, you think... his name is Sagar? "
" Because I am not sure. " She said.
" Ok whatever but I was talking about my friend Sagar who lives in Bombay." She said to her but I know it was for my benefit. She shook her head and left and I kept standing there.
" Hey have any of you seen Sagar today ?? " Gautam said.
" Can't you see stupid, I am standing right here in front of you. "
" No, you are lost since that girl joined our class. " Vikram said.
" You people have gone mad. " I said to all five of them and they were grinning at me.
We all went out and saw her sitting in a car. A driver opened and closed the door for her. And then drove her away.
I took a deep breath. My friends started teasing me but I denied the fact that I liked her.
Even after I came back home... I kept thinking about her... Sahil saw me and shook his head.
" So, tell me right now if you like her or don't blame me if I use my charm on her... I mean she is hot, beautiful and intelligent. A very rare combination. If you are not interested in her then I am... " Sahil said devilishly.
" I don't know what you are talking about... But just stay away... You are already flirting with so many girls... Most of the time they get confused and start flirting with me... " I glared at him and he laughed.
Sagar's POV" I don't know what you are talking about... But just stay away... You are already flirting with so many girls... Most of the time they get confused and start flirting with me... " I glared at Sahil and he laughed.So... you don't know if you like her... Fine..... Then I'll go ahead and talk to her. " Sahil was smirking at me... I wanted to break his jaw." No... you will not do any such thing, just concentrate on your studies... "" And you concentrate on her bhai...... Someone with snatching her away very soon. I promise I will not try if you like her. "" Ok... Fin,e I liked her... Now keep your mouth shut. " I said and Sahil patted on my back." That's like my brother. " He said and went away... To irritate Swati... Our younger sister... Idiot.********I went to school earlier than I usually go. There were only 2-3 students in our class. She entered the room. Today she was wearing a
Sagar's POVFlashbackGautam nodded and went to get those things for her. I wish ma'am had told me to do it. But anyway, I could look at her till then. By the time he came back, it was already lunch break he gave it to her. She took out money but Gautam refused to take it." Take the money or take these things back. I'll find the store and get them myself. "But when Gautam didn't say anything, She caught his hand and placed the money on it. She said a polite thanks and walked away. Gautam and Vikram stood there with their mouth open. Rahul, Mehul, Sahil and I were watching them from aside." Close your mouth, you idiots. " I placed an arm each around their shoulders and said to both of them." She is hot... and ... "" Aaaaaa...... don't say anything like that for her, Gautam. " I said smiling." Why ?? Please enlighten me... " He smiled sarcastically." Because she is
Sagar's POV" But we are partners we must have a discussion together. " Sahil said." I understand bhai but please handle it this time. Next time I will definitely come. " I said to him." No Sagar you need to get over this silly thing. You need to get on with your life. You have already wasted one precious year of your life. We almost lost you... You kept looking for her for many years and I know that you are still looking for her. But enough is enough !! If she doesn't care about you, then why are going mad after her. "" Sahil, please you know I loved her."" Yes, you loved her... But she is not here. You can't keep running after a mirage. I can't see you like this, Bhai"" What do you mean by like this?? I am fine... "" Oh please, shut up or I will beat you to death. I don't want to see you half-dead crying for someone like this. It's better, If I kill you with my own hands." Sahil said furiousl

What would you say?? "" Why are you asking??" Just like that, tell me what would you say??? "" I don't need to say anything."" But why?? What is the problem?? "" Relax!! There is no problem.

Damini's POVFlashback...Somehow, I felt that it was Sagar and not his brother who was sitting with me. But why? Anyway, Anshu kept grinning at me, when I told her what happened.My friendship with Anshu was becoming strengthened day by day. We had joined the physics tuition together which was very close to her place. I used to go to tuition only half an hour after school, so I used to go to Anshu's place straight from school and then go to tuition together.So I was getting very comfortable with her family as well. Her parents were very cute and she had an elder brother and an annoying youngersister.Her brother, Vikas bhaiya, was very sweet and always treated me as he used to treat Anshu. We used to annoy him a lot.He was very particular that we must not keepour hair loose or untied. We were getting annoyed at him but hesaid that he didn't want, stupid boys following his sisters.
