*Kritika Pov*
"Kritika! I never thought that you will do this to us." Latika said walking near our canteen table along with Ria.
"Hey Ria! Where were you? I couldn't find you after the class so I came here directly." I said smiling at her.
"Don't talk to me Kritka!" Ria said turning her head away.
"What happened guys?" I asked them confused.
"Like I already said you did something really bad to us." Latika replied and they both sat infront of me.
"What have I done?" I asked them confused.
"You are so cold hearted Kritka." Ria said sighing.
"Guys! I don't even know what have I done so please tell me what did I do?" I asked fidgeting with my hands.
"You don't know what you have done?" Latika asked give a look like 'Are you kidding?'.
"I am so bored hearing all these questions which are miles far away from clarity." Some girl said walking by our table.
We three looked at her confused and she just walked away. Who the hell is she? We three looked at each other with same question.
"So what about the injustice you have done to us?" Latika asked folding her hands along with Ria.
"If you both don't talk clearly in the next second then I will sit hear and read Maths loudly for you both telling everyone that you both needed it." I said tapping my Maths text book.
"Don't do that!" they both said raising their hands.
"You went home with Sanjay following you and you didn't tell us?" Ria asked raising her eyebrow.
"Oh that! So you both saw me yesterday?" I asked them but it sounded like a statement ofcourse.
"No Kritika! I just had this vision in my sleep that he followed behind you and the surprising thing is I was still standing in the ground along with Ria waiting for our other hostlers in that vision." Latika said smiling sweetly.
I groaned hearing her words and then placed my head on the table. They both chuckled but immediately stopped when I looked up.
"So tell us what happened right now?" Ria asked and Latika nodded.
Then I told them what actually happened like everything. I even told them the reason he gave for his behavior that day and then told them what I told him about changing the crush to which they both looked proud of me.
"He is dumb like always." Latika said and we three laughed.
"That's what she said." We heard a new voice and shrieked at a time.
"My poor ears." Sanjay said sitting beside me and rubbed his ears.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him confused.
"Well you see I am here to have my lunch and I hope I am not wrong about this being a lunch break." He replied and started eating his food.
"You can't sit here." Ria said and I nodded.
"Why? Is this table yours?" he asked innocently.
"Why are you suddenly sitting here with us? What about your friends?" Latika asked raising her eyebrow.
"They will live! Don't worry about them Latika." He replied smiling.
"How are you Latika?" he added smiling more.
"I am fine! But my foot is really getting hurt because of the new sandal. Want to check it out?" She asked innocently.
"I will when you are in good mood." He replied.
And they both just started throwing war of words at each other but acting innocently.
"Woah, woah! Stop it guys. I don't have experience to handle the toddlers." I said looking at both of them to which Ria laughed.
"Let's just go Kritika. He is always like this." Latika said and we three started getting up.
"Ok, ok! I will leave. By the way Kritika you are looking good." He said smirking.
"That's what he said." Latika said smiling.
"He? Who?" Sanjay asked confused.
"Her new crush who is not a jerk like you ofcourse." She replied smirking.
"Already a new crush? But you said yesterday that you were searching for him right?" He asked looking at me.
"I..I.. yeah.. I." I continuously stuttered not knowing what to say in this confusing conversation.
"Who are you to her in the first place? Why should she answer to you? Just go away." Ria said saving me.
"Hmm.. well a crush can always be changed." He mumbled to himself and walked away.
"What the hell did you just told him Latika?" I asked her shocked.
"Chill yaar! I told him that you have crush but not a lover right." She replied smiling and I smiled back.
"Well he just took your job to a whole new level." Ria said smirking.
"What?" I asked her confused.
"You used to stare at him and he did the same last week. But you never walked near him and talked which he did. So now do you understand?" Ria asked looking at me.
"Err.. yeah! But I really don't want him to follow me at all. I don't like him." I said shaking my head.
"You never know!" Latika said along with Ria.
"Let's just go! I need to prepare." I said getting up.
"For what? There is no exam right or did I miss that notification?" Ria asked frowning.
"There is no exam. But Maths test results are going to be given today in the last period for which I need to prepare." I replied sighing.
"The surprise test in which you wrote another chapter answers for other chapter questions?" Latika asked frowning.
"Yeah! Poor me.." I said groaning.
"Poor you? No dear! It must be poor Lecturer." Ria said and I hit her shoulder.
"That's what happen if you byheart it." Latika said when we started walking out of the canteen.
"I know, I know!" I said and looked at the waste plastic papers thrown beside the dustbin.
I bended to take all of them and threw them in the dustbin. Before going to class I need to wash my hands in washroom! I thought rubbing my hands.
"So I need to prepare myself so that I can bear whatever our Lecturer says to scold me." I said laughing and they too did the same.
"Excuse me?" I heard someone calling us.
"Yes?" I said turning around to see four guys standing there.
"We just want to say thank you for doing this huge favor." One of them said.
"What favor?" I asked him confused.
"What favor!? You just cleaned this area which makes four of us so happy." Another one replied.
"Oh! It's nothing." I said and looked at them weirdly.
"It is not nothing! You don't know how these kids throw everything around the canteen. Now I can understand how difficult it is for the cleaners to clean them." Another said shaking his head dramatically.
"This is all because of that stupid Ritika." One guys said and I immediately looked at him.
"Kalyan! Forget about it." The before guys said.
"Ritika?" I asked them confused.
"Yeah! That Ritika is completely stupid. She is very rude and stupid like I said. And..." he didn't continue it when he looked at me properly.
"You.. you. I saw you with her. Do you know her?" He asked confused.
"Ritika is my sister." I replied with gritted teeth and turned towards the garbage bin.
"Oh shut!" he mumbled.
I ignored him and just pushed the garbage bin a little so that not everything falls off but just a little because I can't ignore that it is not that correct thing to do.
"What are you doing?" those four shouted at me.
I turned back towards them and said "If I heard another word wrongly about her then I will throw the wastage in this bin on your heads."
Saying that I walked away with my friends. After few minutes they both laugh and I couldn't help but laugh at them remembering those four faces when I said that.
"So my friend knows how to fight if she wants to." Latika said smiling.
"I can if someone says or does anything bad to the people I like." I said smiling.
She nodded her head and walked away towards her block while Ria and I walked to ours after going to the washroom.
