A/N: I know, this chapter is abnormally short, and so is the next one, but they're not always like this, I promise, I did this for a reason. Happy reading!
Taani nervously looked around, hoping that her plan would work. She takes a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for the questions she would be bombarded with in the next couple minutes.
"Rey and I can't be couple because I'm already in a relationship with someone."
Everyone was shocked, but none more than Rey, who was strangely upset. What the hell? How can Taani be in a relationship with someone? What if... no! Taani cannot be in a relationship with Shivam Dutta of all people, he thinks.
"Then tell us who he is!" someone in the crowd shouts.
"Yeah," says someone else, "ee want to know whether or not he actually exists."
"Who are you to question me about my personal life?" demands Taani, shutting them up... or so she thought.
"We just want to know what type of guy our GS is interested in," one of the boys in the crowd tells her, winking. Swayam and Rey were quick to react, hell even Shivam was ready to help them out, but their friends were just as quick to pull them back.
Taani smirks as she continues. "Why? Give me one good reason why I should tell you people about my personal life. All you want is something to gossip about right? The go look through magazines for the latest on celebrities. Which celebrity just got surgery, who's dating who... I'm sure that's much more interesting than my dating life."
"Chill girl! We only asked for a name," says another student. Other students murmur in agreement and also start asking for a name. Taani start to panic and looks around the room for help.
As Sharon was about to get on stage and go into Siren-mode to help out her friend, an unfamiliar voice calls out, "Yeah Taani, tell us!" All eyes were on him, with Rey and friends wondering who the hell he was, and Swayam and Vishaka confused as to what he was doing here.
"Okay fine," the guy continues, "if you don't want to tell everyone, then I will. I'm Taani's boyfriend, and if anyone has a problem with that, please don't hesitate to keep your mouths shut."
Everyone's taken aback by this guy's authoritative attitude, an attitude that only Reyansh Singhania could match. The crowd disperses, with guys dragging ogling girls away from the scene. The D3 gang is confused by the boy's appearance, especially Swayam and Vishaka, who happen to know the stranger.
They're all broken out of their trains of thoughts when Taani walks over to the guy. Rey's hoping for a kick, a punch, a slap... even a lecture will suffice. But what Taani does next shocks him.
Taani smiles at the boy, and gives him a tight hug.
"Hey Rockstar! Did you miss me?"
A/N: Alright, so, that's that. Hope I didn't completely waste five seconds of someone's life.
