Chapter 5 - Chapter : 5 Unexpected Hold

🌸 AYESHA'S POV ✨✨

The noise in the hall slowly faded…

But my mind didn't.

Vice President…?

Did I really hear my name?

For a second, I just stood there, completely shocked.

Then I pointed toward that asshole — I mean… Kartik.The so-called President. The so-called celebrity. 😒

I said dramatically, and putting hands on my chest."Did he really choose me as Vice President?"

I crossed my arms and smirked slightly."Well… whatever. I deserve this." 😏

But suddenly… My ears caught something.

Some girls whispering.

"She doesn't deserve it.""How did she even get selected?"

I don't know why…

But it felt like someone was stabbing me.

My chest tightened and my mind went blank .

I completely zoned out.

And then—

I felt something.

A touch.....No… not just a touch....Someone was holding my hand.

And my eyes widened. 😳

I looked down… It was him "Kartik".

He held my hand firmly and said calmly,"Look in front."

Without thinking… I did.

A small smile appeared on my face as I tried to ignore those jealous girls.

After getting down from the stage…

He was still holding my hand.

Firm. Protective.

And then suddenly—

He let go.

Just like that.

I frowned slightly.

What is wrong with this boy?

Then he spoke, cold as always,"Don't think I like you or anything. I just held your hand as the President. You are my Vice President. Not to make you—"

"Stop it ." I cut him off immediately.

I looked straight into his eyes and said,"And that's exactly why I let you hold my hand that long. Otherwise, I have zero interest in you." 😏

I didn't wait for his reply and I just walked away.

🏠 HOSTEL ... ✨

I still didn't understand what I was feeling.

Something inside me felt… strange like such a confusing.

But the moment I entered my room—

"WELCOME!!!" 🎉🎂

I froze.

Priyu and Sonakshi stood there, holding a mini cake.

On top it was written:"Miss Vice President" 😌✨

"Ohhh my God…" I laughed.

They both shouted together,"Welcome, welcome our Vice President!!!" 😂

We cut the cake, laughing and celebrating.

Then Sonakshi smirked. 😏"Ooo Priyu… look, someone is important now."

Priyuu nodded and dramatically said  "Not just important… Kartik himself holding someone's hand on stage 👀"

Sonakshi gasped and said "Ohhh I think that someone is none other than our Ayesha… oh sorry— his Ayesha." 😏

"STOP IT YOU BOTH!" I snapped.

"It was nothing. And I don't even like him. He didn't even want me as Vice President!"

They both went quiet and maybe… they understood.

After dinner… I lay down on my bed. 🛏️

The room was silent but my mind wasn't.

That moment…

His hand holding mine…

Why am I thinking about it?

I looked at my hand unconsciously.

And immediately turned to the other side, annoyed.

"Ugh… what is wrong with me?" 😤

📱 Message received I picked up my phone and message is from unknown number.

I frowned… Then I checked.

My eyes widened. 😳

Kartik.

The message was short.

"Come early tomorrow."

I blinked. "That's it?! So dry…" 😒

"Whatever."

📚 I went to my study table and started studying CAD.

I don't know why… but I kept studying.

Time passed…

And passed…

Before I knew it— It was 5 A.M. 😳

🌅 I quickly took a shower and got ready.

And went to college early and very early as I got a message at night to come early so,

🏫 COLLEGE — EARLY MORNING

The campus was almost empty.

And there…It was just me… and him I mean Kartik.

He looked at me for a second, then said, "Follow me."

No good morning. Nothing. 😒 and it's not shock as how much I can expect from him.

I rolled my eyes but followed him.

🏢 He showed me the President & Vice President office.

"This is where we manage everything," he said calmly.

"Your job is to maintain discipline and handle student issues. Major and minor."

I crossed my arms and said "I already know how to do my job." 😏

He looked at me and said  "Then act like it if you knew it ".

I frowned and said "Don't order me."

"I'm not ordering. I'm reminding."

"I don't need reminders." I said 

"Your attitude says otherwise." he said 

"And your judgment is wrong." I said

And we both stop arguing and start doing our own work.

🎓 LATER — CLASSROOM

 🌸 AYESHA'S POV 

I walked into class and sat beside Aryan.

He looked at me and smirked😏and said "Looks like someone didn't sleep the whole night."

"Shut up." I said

"Or maybe…" he leaned closer to me and said "thinking about someone?" 👀

I glared at him and said "You're wrong."

"Really? The way he held your hand—"

"He's just a President for me," I cut him off.

"And honestly? One of the most annoying people ever." 😒

Aryan laughed.

🍽️ After second lecture, we went to the cafeteria.

We were laughing, joking, making fun of professors 😂

For some time… Everything felt normal again.

Aryan paid the bill.

"My treat," he said."Congratulations, Miss Vice President." 😏

I smiled slightly and said "Thanks so this your way of congratulate me. " and he nooded.

Since I had no more classes…

I walked back toward the office.

President and Vice President office.
