I woke up and found that it was already a new day. I looked around as I stretched and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I was perplexed as I found myself in Nia's room. I remember falling asleep on Aarav's shoulder last night, and then someone shook me, making me sleep on the Sofa, and then I fell asleep. I felt as if I was missing something. I tried hard to remember what and how I got to Nia's room, but nothing came to my mind. I was about to leave the covers when Nia entered the room. She ran to me and plopped on the bed when I was awake.

"Do you remember what you did last night?" She asked.

I looked at her, bewildered. "What?"

"Don't you remember anything at all?" She repeated. I pondered for a moment, "Did I do something crazy?"

"Well, not crazy. But you made things awkward for someone." She replied.

"Stop confusing and tell me. The last thing I remember is falling asleep on Aarav's shoulder and then waking up to sleep on the Sofa. That's it."

"So, you don't remember hugging Vihaan and falling asleep?"

"No, I don't remember hugging Vih... Wait, What!" I shrieked.

"Please, tell me I didn't do that," I begged, hoping Nia would laugh and tell me she was kidding. She did laugh but for a whole other reason.

"No, you didn't hug him." She said, make me happy, which was short-lived as she continued, "but you did fall asleep on his shoulder, holding his arm."

"That's not making me feel any better, Nia." I groaned. "How did I end up doing that?"

"Well, you did fall asleep on Aarav's shoulder at first. But Aarav told me that when he got a call, he made you lean back on the Sofa and went to attend to the call. I returned from my room when Aarav finished the call to find you sleeping on Vihaan's shoulder while holding his arm tightly. It became a very awkward situation when we found you in that position. I helped him pull you away, and he fled in embarrassment." She explained briefly.

"I'm guessing you both brought me back to the room," I said, and she nodded. I took a pillow and hid my face.

God! How am I going to face him? He must've felt so awkward being in such a position with me. I wanted to scream.

Nia patted my head, "Don't worry. As I said, it wasn't that bad. You just fell asleep on his shoulder. There's nothing to feel bad about. I'm sure Vihaan will be fine as well."

Well, I hope so.

I pulled myself together and got ready for my art class. We all sat for breakfast, but I wasn't in the mood to eat anything. I barely touched my food, and Aarav noticed as he asked me, "Are you not feeling well? Why do you look upset?"

"I'm fine," I replied low like I had drained my energy.

"Shall we go to boxing court? It's been years since we had a session together. Plus, you can vent out your anger as you do when your mood is off."

It cheered me up, "I think we should. I'll return early from art class."

Nia reminded us, "you'll get the results of your entrance exam today on the college website." We both nodded.

Aarav told me, "We'll go to boxing this weekend instead," I agreed and left for the class.
