"What's wrong with this?" she cut him off causing him to eat his rest of the words. Did he just insult her and all she took was the insult about her dress?

"It's my sports look! You know? I had to work part time at my uncle's departmental store for two months to earn for these outfits! And you have a problem with these?"

"What??"

"Yeah! I love playing basket ball and I needed a proper look for this, dad challenged me to do something productive to allow me for the practice and I took up the challenge" she shrugged. "And wow! I won it too, see!" she twirled around showing her outfit to him completely"her long slender legs drawing his attention for a brief moment.

"Were you concerned about playing the game or having right costumes for it?" he asked with a weird expression on his face.

"Uh---"

"You know what? Forget that I ever asked, I don't even want to know!" he said collecting his things and getting up from the place shaking his head vigorously annoyed more at himself.

"And what were you saying about me playing with guys?"

He turned around and raised his eye-brows. He then glanced around the place before shifting his attention back to her questioning gaze. "I don't see a single girl here, other than you"

"So?"

"So?" he asked back almost probing her to enlighten him.

"Why am I even answerable to you? Anyway, since you asked, let me make myself clear. I like basket ball and the girl's team is just so lame, they can't play like this"with this seriousness you know? And so I offered to play with these guys, they agreed. And today is my first day, did you see how many baskets I just made??" she grinned proudly.

"Of course they would let you!" he said exasperated.

"What do you mean?"

"Khushi, look at the way these guys are looking at you! They are just having fun watching you play, and literally undressing you with their eyes!"

"Eeks!! Shut up! How could you think anything and everything negatively?? I know how to keep an eye for such guys! So please stop with your lecturing plus some of them are my friends! I trust--"

"Argh! Stop! Not with the trust lecture again! I haven't seen such a nave fool like you all my life! What am I even doing here with you!" he yelled throwing his hands in air and quickly getting up to leave.

"Fine go away! I don't like you anyway!"

"Well, I'm not a fan of you either, get lost--" he said throwing a look behind his shoulder as he started walking away already. She stamped her foot hard on the floor and turned around walking in the opposite direction. She stopped as if remembering something and turned around again in one swift moment.

"And I'm so happy that you will be leaving the college in just about a month!" she yelled on the top of her voice to reach his ears. "Definitely not happier than me!" he yelled back not even turning around and finally exited from the court. By the time he reached his car, his lips were playing with a small smile as it suddenly dawned onto him that he is just one month away from his freedom and his dreams.
