Not So Strangers
Worst First Meeting
The campus was unusually loud for a Monday morning
Freshers were roaming around with maps in their hands, some people were already taking mirror selfies, and a few looked completely lost
Meanwhile, Ira Sharma walked inside the college gate with her iced coffee in one hand and her bag hanging carelessly on her shoulder
Ira Sharma (FL)
Kiara jaldi aa na *she shouted while walking backwards
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
Ira, tu first day pe hi gir jayegi ek din *Kiara sighed, trying to keep up with her*
Ira Sharma (FL)
Relax, I know what I’m doing
Exactly two seconds later—
Your authiee
Guess what ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
Her coffee spilled straight onto someone’s black hoodie
Kiara slowly closed her eyes
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
Bas. Ho gya tera (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)
Ira Sharma (FL)
*looked up*
The guy standing in front of her looked annoyed already, like the world personally offended him every morning
Your authiee
chhid chuka h bnda 😂🤣
He glanced at the coffee stain on his hoodie and then at her
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Seriously? *he said flatly*
Ira Sharma (FL)
Excuse me? Tum bhi saamne se aa rahe the, *replied instantly*
The boy gave her a dry look
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Difference ye h ki main dekh ke chal raha tha
Ira Sharma (FL)
Oh wow. Attitude toh dekho
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
And volume bhi 😏
Kiara almost laughed.
Ira folded her arms.
Ira Sharma (FL)
First day h warna—
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Warna? *he raised an eyebrow*
The guy picked up his bag from the floor.
For a second, neither of them moved
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Try not to destroy anyone else’s clothes today
Ira stared at him in disbelief
Ira Sharma (FL)
Kya problem h tumhari?
Kiara immediately turned towards her
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
HE’S HOT
Ira Sharma (FL)
He’s irritating
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
Hot and Irritating
Back in class, Ira was still angry.She kept tapping her pen against the desk while mumbling
Ira Sharma (FL)
Khud ko kya samajhta h
unknown
Daksh Malhotra* someone behind her answered

Unfortunately, Same Class
Ira hoped she would never see Daksh again
Unfortunately, life had other plans
The next morning, she entered class while talking nonstop to Kiara
imagine they are talking & entering the class
Ira Sharma (FL)
I swear agar woh coffee wala idiot aaj saamne aa gaya na—
unknown
Who? *a voice came from behind
Kiara looked away immediately to hide her laugh
Daksh was standing there with a file in his hand and the same bored expression on his face
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Disappointed? Mujhe bhi same feeling aa rahi h
Ira Sharma (FL)
Don’t start
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
You started yesterday
Before Ira could reply, the professor entered the class
professor
Everyone settle down. Also, this semester’s project teams are already decided
Ira relaxed a little
At least she wouldn’t have to deal with Daksh
professor
Ira Sharma and Daksh Malhotra
Kiara looked like she was about to faint from excitement
Daksh closed his eyes for one second like his patience had officially ended
Ira Sharma (FL)
You’ve got to be kidding me *Ira muttered*
professor
The professor looked up* Problem?
Both of them said together
professor
Too bad *replied casually*
professor
You two have the highest scores from the entrance evaluation. So either work together or fail together
After class, Ira immediately turned towards Daksh
Ira Sharma (FL)
Listen, we’ll do the project separately. Minimal interaction. Deal
Daksh looked at her for a moment
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
You always this bossy?
Ira Sharma (FL)
And you always this annoying?
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Hm. Good. At least we understand each other
Ira Sharma (FL)
Can’t wait
Daksh started walking away but stopped after two steps
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Oh and one more thing.
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Next time coffee leke chalna ho na… lid properly band kar lena
Ira grabbed the nearest notebook to throw at him
Kiara held her arm dramatically
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
Violence is not the answer
Ira Sharma (FL)
For him it is 🍃

The Library Disaster
It had only been three days and Ira was already tired of Daksh Malhotra’s existence
He barely talked, always looked annoyed, and somehow still managed to win every argument
Ira Sharma (FL)
Ye insaan hasta bhi h kabhi? *Ira whispered while entering the library with Kiara
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
Honestly? Mujhe toh robot lagta h
Unfortunately for them… Daksh was sitting right there
And he heard everything.Without even looking up from his laptop, he said
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
At least robots are useful
Ira Sharma (FL)
*gasped dramatically
Ira Sharma (FL)
Kiara, dekha? Isko sab sunai deta h
That irritated her even more.
Ira Sharma (FL)
*She walked over and dropped her books loudly on the table across from him
Ira Sharma (FL)
We need to discuss the project
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Finally looked up
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Good. For once you’re talking about something important
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
focus Sunshine 😏
Ira Sharma (FL)
Ira blinked* Did you just call me Sunshine?
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
You talk too much, smile too much, and somehow still have energy at 8 a.m. So yes
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
almost choked trying not to laugh
Ira Sharma (FL)
Rolled her eyes and sat down*
Ira Sharma (FL)
Whatever. Let’s just finish this
For the next hour, surprisingly… things went normal
No fighting.
No sarcasm.
No threats.
Ira accidentally spilled water all over Daksh’s notes
Again
The entire table went silent.
Ira looked at the wet papers.
Then at Daksh.
Then back at the papers.
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
stared at her with the most done expression ever*
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
How are you a functioning human being?
Ira Sharma (FL)
I said sorry!
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
You’re literally a natural disaster
Kiara Kapoor (fl bsf)
laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes
Ira Sharma (FL)
Grabbed tissues quickly* Stop acting dramatic, they’re just papers
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Took the tissues from her hand*
These papers took three hours
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Exactly
For the first time since they met, Ira actually looked guilty
Daksh noticed it and sighed.
Relax. Main mar nahi jaunga
Ira Sharma (FL)
Looked at him suspiciously
Ira Sharma (FL)
Was that… a normal sentence?
Daksh Malhotra (ML)
Don’t get used to it
That tiny moment became the first time they didn’t completely hate being around each other. ✨
