MY SOUL LEFT THE BODY

Abhi:

(I was looking at her — she was starting to get shy and tried to look around. I smiled to myself, still staring at her. Then I suddenly noticed her expression change — she looked shocked, and her face turned pinkish red. I didn't know what she saw, so I looked around… and I saw Daniel kissing her friend. Damn it!!! What's going on there?!)

(I stopped dancing and headed over. I saw Nick was also going that way with Tia. What's going on here? I completely forgot that my dumb friends can cause trouble for me. I hope Daniel didn't do that forcefully... I mean, he's not that kind of guy — but still. I really hope nothing went wrong.)

(When I reached them, Nick was already asking what was happening, and I overheard everything. Thank God — she kissed him on her own. But wait… Nick is handing Daniel a key card for a room. Now this is even more embarrassing. WTF. I looked at Ishana — and she was already looking at me.)

(What will she think about me now? That my friends behave like this… that I'm like them too? Going to bars, clubs, and hooking up with girls?! I'm honestly too embarrassed to look into her eyes now. I told them not to do anything like this. If this goes wrong — mark my words, you guys are going to pay for this!)

Daniel: (I leaned close to her ear and whispered...)

"Do you wanna go further?"

Pooja:

(What does he mean?! Is he saying what I'm thinking... Damn, of course I want to — but how do I reply? I just nodded my head "yes"...)

Daniel:

(Did she just say yes?! Huhhh... I was sure I'd get rejected. Now what?! I wasn't prepared for this. What should I do now?? I smiled and looked at Nick, signaling for the key card. He understood, handed it to me, and I picked Pooja up in my arms. She was still hiding her face in my chest. I started walking toward the stairs to go to the room — but suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.*)

(I turned around and said, "What??")

Rocky:

"Bro — precaution is a must! Do you have them???"

Daniel:

(Oh crap, I completely forgot. I didn't have any protection. I shook my head "no.")

Rocky: (I pulled out a few condom packets from my pocket and handed them to him.)

Daniel:

"Thanks... Bye."

(I continued walking toward the room.)

Rocky:

"Hmmm…"

Abhi:

(WTF!!!! Guys, why not just kill me directly?! Condoms? Seriously? And that too, openly?! Don't you think they're already available in the rooms?! Why did he have to hand them over like that?!)

(Why the hell did I even introduce them to Ishana?! This must be the last day of my life — these guys have clearly planned to finish me off. I should check what Ishana's doing... I looked at her again — and she was staring at Rocky and Nick in shock. Damn it, I knew it...)

(What do I even say to her now? Someone help me. I can barely breathe.)

Ishana:

(He's just looking at me. It's so awkward. Why is he staring like that? I tried to avoid eye contact and looked around. Wait... someone is kissing?! Hold on — it's my friend!!! My eyes widened in shock. What is she doing?? She's on Daniel's lap… WTF.)

(Abhi stopped dancing too — he's also looking at them. Now this is even more awkward. He started walking toward them, and I followed him to find out what's actually happening. I overheard Nick... but still — she's the most innocent girl in our group. How could she do something like this? And why would they go to a room?!)

(Why do they have to do all this in front of us? They're still kissing. My thoughts were like, Bro, are you trying to choke her to death? It's her first kiss — let her breathe, man!)

(Finally, he let her go. Nick was waving something — a key card. Wait... a room key?! Seriously??)

(Then Daniel took it. And now his friend is giving him condoms?! My soul just left my body. I can't watch this anymore. I feel like Abhi is looking at me… No, no... Don't make eye contact! It's already too awkward.)

(But wait — would he ask me to go to a room too?! No… no, right? Abhi isn't that kind of person. But then again... what do I even know about him? We just met recently. How can I be so sure?)

Nick:

(I saw Daniel smiling — I knew that meant he got the green signal. But I'm guessing it's his first time too. I've never seen him with a girl before. Still, just look at his confidence — he's on another level. Anyway, I passed him the key card, and Rocky gave him the most important thing... and off he went. But damn...)
