Hey my cute lil cherries 🍒

Here u go with chap 7

Hope u like it...

All the students turned their attention to the speaker, curious about whatever the important announcement was.

“As we all know, from here on the college journey starts for some, is going on for some, and soon will be ending for some of you. So, like every year, we have planned the freshers’ party as a fresh start,” the principal’s voice came from the speakers.

The moment the announcement was made, the classroom erupted. Someone actually whooped, chairs scraped as people stood up, and a wave of excited chatter filled the air. The excitement and happiness were clearly visible on their faces.

“And it’ll be held on the weekend, that means on Saturday. Have fun, students, but don’t forget that you have to study harder after that. You can leave now,” he dismissed.

“Ahhhh, yayyy! Maza ayega,” Isha exclaimed in excitement. The heaviness in her voice earlier had vanished now, a pure and genuine smile blooming on her face.

Kiara observed the change in her behaviour, her own lips curving into a genuine smile. “Haa bohot maza ayega,” she joined Isha’s excitement.

“Ohh shitt!” Isha slapped her forehead.

“Kya hua?” Kiara asked in confusion.

“Are sirf do din bache hai Saturday me,” Isha said, her voice now carrying a touch of nervousness.

“Matlab we need to hurry up for arranging everything,” she added thoughtfully, already thinking about the dress, makeup, heels, and accessories.

Isha and her obsession with these things were on another level. For her, they mattered more than anything else.

“Arey haa. Time kam hai,” Kiara responded with a nod.

“Abhi se lag ja tyar hone aur kya,” she added with mock seriousness.

Isha gave her an unimpressed look. “Haha, so funny,” she gave a tight smile and rolled her eyes.

“Arey me bol rahi hu ki ham kya pehnenge and all,” she added with genuine confusion.

“Arey relax, ho jaega,” Kiara replied with a reassuring pat on Isha’s shoulder.

“Sham ko shopping chale?” Isha asked as they were walking out of the classroom.

“Haa chalooooo,” a voice came from the other side. Tanu walked towards them with her usual carefree walk.

“Done then, at 5 pm?” Kiara raised an eyebrow.

“Yup,” Isha replied with a thumbs up.

“Thik hai fir. Chalo ab ghar chalte hai,” Tanu responded, descending the stairs.

On the other hand, the boys were calm, with no tense lines on their faces.

“Bhai kal bunk marke shopping chale?” Yuvraj asked, looking at Ayaan and Avinash.

“Haa bhai, maza ayega,” Ayaan replied with mock interest.

“Abbe gadho, bunk kyu marna hai? College ke baad aaj hi chal lete hai,” Avinash gave them a disapproving look.

“But bunk marne ka alg hi maza aata hai,” Yuvraj replied with a shrug. Ayaan nodded in agreement.

“Arey ye tum logo ka hamesha ka hai. Chup chap aaj chalna hai to chalo, nahi to rehne do,” Avinash declared firmly, hopping on his bike.

“Ye fattu ki wajah se hamesha plan pe pani fir jata hi,” Yuvraj complained.

“Haa yaar. Chhod, aaj hi chalte hai fir,” Ayaan replied, giving up the idea of bunking.

“Aur nahi to kya,” Yuvraj shook his head in disappointment.

“Kitne baje mile fir?” Avinash asked, adjusting his helmet.

“6 ko?” Yuvraj raised an eyebrow, questioning if the timing was okay.

“Nahi yaar, tujhe pata hai apna aadha time idhar-udhar nikal jata hai, to aane me der ho jayegi,” Avinash responded.

“To? Late tak bahar rahega to ghar ki naak kat jayegi?” Yuvraj replied, bursting into laughter.

Avinash gave him an unimpressed look.

“Acha acha, 5 then?” Ayaan suggested.

“Haa, ye sahi hai,” Avinash agreed.

“Done then. But jayenge kaha?” he asked thoughtfully.

“Dekhte hai baad me. Abhi to ghar chalte hai,” Ayaan dismissed, waving his hand.

“Thik hai.”

With that, they drove away.

Evening painted the sky. The city buzzed with distant noise.

Isha was in her room, standing in front of the mirror, adjusting her hair. She was dressed in bootcut jeans with a short, light yellow kurti, paired with a few silver oxidised bangles and jhumkas. The look was effortlessly elegant.

She examined her reflection from head to toe, looking for any flaw that needed to be fixed.

Her makeup was light, complementing her look. Her eyes shone with coal kajal. Her lips carried the soft touch of lip balm. Her cheekbones were adorned with blush and a pinch of highlighter. Her hair was tied in a loose side braid.

“Perfect,” she murmured to herself, throwing a last glance at her reflection.

“Maa, me ja rahi hu,” she called out while descending the stairs.

“Kaha ja rahi ho di itna saj dhaj ke? Date pe?” Ria raised an eyebrow, smiling mischievously.

“Hatt. Date wate pe me nahi jati. Meri jesi devi ko koi deserve nahi karta, okay,” Isha replied, rolling her eyes as if the thought of dating was a foreign thing to her.

“Arey Ria, pata hai na Isha di to kisi ke terve pe bhi saj ke jayegi,” Dhruv chimed in with a playful tone.

“Haa bhai, Isha di be like ‘pran jae par fashion na jae,’” Ria commented, bursting into laughter with Dhruv.

“Ek ek repta padega dono ko abhi. Timepass mat karo, mujhe late ho raha hai. Tanu di aur Kiara already on the way hai,” Isha responded.

“Ha ha tu ja. Ye log to velle hai,” Piyali said, handing the credit card to Isha.

“Kuch acha leke aana, faltu sa kuch mat utha lana fashion ke naam pe,” she added, smacking Isha’s head lightly.

“Arey yaar mamma, you know na your daughter is a fashion icon,” Isha replied, lifting her chin high.

“Haa haa, badi aayi fashion icon,” Piyali replied with an eye roll.

“Arey sachi, abhi agar 50 followers aur ho gaye toh mere pure 80K followers ho jayenge,” Isha declared proudly.

“Heinnn??? Sachiii?!” Ria almost jumped on the couch, while Dhruv nearly choked on his cold drink.

“Ye to badi achi baat hai,” Piyali replied with a genuine smile.

“Ho jaenge jaldi,” she patted Isha’s shoulder proudly.

Her words hung in the air for a few minutes before Ria spoke up.

“Didiiiiiiii, meri pyari didiiiiiiii.” Ria said sweetly.

“Aahhaa, bhagg! Meko der ho rahi,” Isha jerked Ria away playfully.

“Jake aati hu, maa,” she added, turning to her mother before exiting the house.

Tanu and Kiara were already at the location decided by the three of them for shopping. They were standing in front of the mall, waiting for Isha to arrive.

“Ye ladki kahan reh gayi,” Kiara said while looking around for any sight of Isha.

“Jaldi ana bolke khud late hai,” Tanu remarked, shaking her head with amusement. Kiara dialled Isha’s number.

Just then, Isha appeared, parking her scooty before approaching them.

Standing in front of them, she answered the call, speaking with mock sadness, “so sorry kiaru I’m not coming.”

“Abe nautanki ki dukaan, chal jaldi. Waise bhi you are late,” Kiara commented.

“Areyy dekh na pehle, kitniiiiiiii sundar lag rahi hai. Obviously ab is look ke liye time to laga hoga. Worth it,” Tanu turned to Isha, fanning herself and whistling.

“Awww, aap bhi na di. Aise mat bola karo, me khush ho jati hu,” Isha replied, covering her face with her palm in mock shyness.

“Ek baat batao,” Kiara leaned towards them, “tum dono lesbians ho kya?”

Isha and Tanu exchanged glances before whispering in Kiara’s ear, “secret information hai. Aise khule me nahi bolte,” and burst into giggling.

“Saalo, tum logon ke jab bande banenge na, tab tum logon ki in harkaton ke baare me bataungi,” Kiara said with a mischievous smile.

“Then I’m safe, coz you know ‘no one deserves Isha Chauhan,’ which means mera koi banda hi nahi hoga,” Isha replied proudly.

“Lo ho gaya iska self-obsession puran shuru. Shaadi bhi khud se kar liyo,” Kiara replied.

“Vo to thik hai, but pehle mera chikna pate tab bolegi na tu kuch. Bas ek baar vo pat jae,” Tanu added with a dreamy look.

And maybe, the universe loved her.

The three boys arrived at the same place.

“Bhai mene suna hai yaha ka collection bohot sahi hai,” Ayaan said, parking his bike.

“Haa mene bhi suna tha,” Avinash chimed in.

“Chalo fir, why to wait,” Yuvraj replied casually.

Both trios were unaware of each other’s presence.

After trying many dresses, the girls finally finalised their outfits and walked towards the billing counter. At the exact same time, the boys approached the counter with their own finalised fits.

Isha placed her shopping bag on the counter.

“Excuse me, I approached the counter first. Lemme have my bill first.” Isha said as she observed someone else approaching the billing counter.

“Nahi miss tikhi chatni, I was the first.” Yuvraj replied casually,

“Tum!? Yaha kya kar rahe ho?”she asked, side eyeing him.

“Yaha ke pakode bohot tasty hote hai na, vahi khane aaya tha.” he replied with a tight smile.

“Achaaa, muje laga lassi pine aaye ho. Thanks for clarifying.” she answered,

“Nahi pakode. Aap yaha kya kar rahi thi tikhi chatni ji?” he asked, leaning forward a bit.

“Me? Me unhi pakodo me jeher milane aayi thi.” she replied with mock sweetness.

“Ma’am, sir, can you please go ahead with billing? Others are waiting,” the cashier said, barely controlling his chuckles.

“Bhai aap billing karo, inka to roj ka ho gaya hai,” Kiara said.

“Hanji jo ma’am bole karo,” Ayaan added, his eyes fixed on Kiara.

“Sath me kar deta hu, isme ladna kya,” the cashier replied.

After the billing, all of them exited the mall and walked towards the parking area.

“By the way, Isha aur Yuv ke jagade me ham logon ne ek dusre ko introduce hi nahi kiya properly,” Ayaan said.

“Haa sahi bola,” Tanu replied, nodding.

“So let’s do that. I’m Ayaan Bansal, best friend of Yuv and Avinash.”

“I’m Avinash Gupta, best friend of Ayaan and Yuv.”

“I’m Tanu Verma, best friend of Isha and sister of Kiara.”

“I’m Kiara Verma, best friend of Isha and sister of Tanu di.”

“I’m Isha Chauhan, best friend of Verma sisters.”

“I’m Yuvraj Rathore, best friend of these two.”

“Let’s be friends, guys. It will be fun.” Ayaan suggested excitedly.

“Yeah, it will be, except these two miya biwi.” Tanu rep

lied, pointing towards Isha and Yuvraj.

“Heinnn? Kon miya biwi?” Isha asked in confusion.

“Tum dono aur kaun. Sara din miya biwi ki tarah jagadte rehte ho.” Kiara chimes in, teasing.

“True.” Avinash joins in.

“Yeah." Ayaan nodded, clearly pushing the bottoms.

“Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.”
