*Kritika Pov*
"Ouch! It's my hand Kritika." Ria said hissing in pain and removed her hand from mine.
"Sorry, sorry Ria. I am just tensed. Just see how he is looking at me." I said gripping the table this time.
"He is looking at everyone Yaar." She said shaking her head.
"No! He is looking at me only with that stupid angry expression. I am sure I must have failed Ria." I said bending down a little to hide away from his eyes.
"You are just imagining Kritika. Don't worry I am here right." Ria said smiling encouragingly.
"For what? To get top marks in this test too." I said shaking my head.
"Urghh... just keep on getting tense then." She said and started listening to the sir's lecture as usual.
"So as you all know you are going to get surprise test results today. I will just inform your marks for now but don't forget to take your papers while leaving the class." He said and looked around the classroom but I still feel that he is looking at me only.
He started informing each student their marks and I started to tighten my hold on the table even more.
"And finally Kritika." He said and paused looking at me.
"Yes sir?" I asked gulping.
"Do you know you have passed with flying colors?" He said and I looked at him completely shocked.
"Really sir?" I asked grinning.
"Yeah! But alas I corrected the papers by looking at the questions too so that couldn't happen." He replied shaking his head and the whole class burst out in laughs except my bestie Ria.
I rolled my eyes and said "Thanks god Sir! Otherwise I would have took myself into imaginary world and would have forgot the real world if I had passed with flying colors."
"Go girl!" Ria whispered and I grinned looking at our lecturer.
"Anyway I have come to a conclusion about you Kritika." He said and I groaned inside fearing about what conclusion he came to.
"You are going to be tutored by one best student in Maths who belongs to this class only." he added.
"Who is it sir?" I asked him sulking.
"The three students who scored top three high scores in this test." He replied.
"But three?" I asked him confused.
"Yeah! You can select any one of them for your tutoring but I need to see good results in the next test." He replied and then I heard the last bell ringing.
"Until?" I asked him when he was turning around.
"Until you finish your first year." He said walking outside the class.
I flopped myself on my bench and groaned looking at the ceiling. Why do I have to bear this torture? I thought and looked at Ria who is looking at me with pity.
"Look! I don't have time to tutor you or something so don't select me." one girl said with hard expression.
"Huh?" I asked not understanding her.
"I got the first mark and I don't want to tutor you." she replied and walked away.
"Hey! So I know I got the second mark but I am poor in remaining subjects. Because of which I will not have time to tutor you. I am sorry." Another guy said and I smiled at him.
"Who is the third mark person here?" I mumbled to myself.
"Hey Kritika!" Sanjay said flopping himself in my front bench.
"What do you want Sanjay?" I asked him groaning.
"Your house or my house?" he asked and my eyes widened.
"I will show you whose house." I heard Ri shouting entering the class room and walked near us.
"You are the girl I saw today morning right?" Sanjay asked grinning.
"And this will be the last time you will ever see me." Ritika said and started hitting him with the books present on my table.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Ouch!! Aahh.." these were the reactions of him.
"Why are you beating me?" He asked stopping her.
"What did you just asked her?" Ri asked who is not in this world at all.
"I was asking her where I should tutor her. In her house or mine." He replied and we three looked at him in surprise.
"You are my tutor?" I asked him frowning.
"The first two people said they will not right and I am the third person." He replied.
"Oh!" Ria, Ri and I said at the same time.
"Is there no one else?" I asked him.
"Sure! You can ask sir about it." he replied shrugging.
"Ok, ok! We will talk about it later." I said shaking my head.
"Give me your number. I will just message you from when I will start the session." He said and I gave him mine.
"Bye!" he said smiling at me but shaking near Ri.
"Be careful with your words next time." That's all Ri said and he left the room nodding his head.
And then we three burst out laughing. God that was amazing!
"By the way he is your new tutor." Ria said hitting my shoulder with hers.
"Thanks for informing!" I said sarcastically.
Then we all walked outside the class and walked towards Latika. Ria immediately said "You need not ask Sanjay to check your Sandal. He just got checked by lots of books."
"What?" Latika asked confused.
Then Ria started explaining everything to her to which she laughed and then both walked away to go to their hostel.
When we started walking towards Di, I saw Ri nodding at those four boys whom I met in the canteen.
"Stupid people! Why are you nodding at them?" I asked her.
"Why? What happened?" she asked confused.
I explained what happened today in the canteen and she smirked hearing that. But didn't replied to my question and I didn't compelled her to.
"So going to be tutored by our cute neighbor ha?" she asked.
"There is nothing cute about him." I replied rolling my eyes.
She just laughed even while walking towards our house after bidding our 'Byes' to Di.
Is he really going to be my tutor? Oh god! What have you done? I asked him looking up.
*Akhila Pov*
After Ri and Kritika left the campus bidding me their 'Byes', Khushal came near me with his 'Death bike' ofcourse.
I calmly sat behind him and he started driving but suddenly stopped infront of an Ice cream parlor.
"What are we doing here?" I asked him frowning.
"To buy groceries!" That's what he replied.
"What?" I asked him frowning.
"What does anyone do in any Ice cream parlor? They eat Ice cream right? We are also going to do the same." He replied and started walking inside but I didn't move at all.
"Come on!" he said gesturing towards the parlor.
I shook my head and folded my hands. He sighed and started walking towards me.
"If you don't come inside on your own then I will take you inside lifting in my arms." He said threateningly.
"You will lift me?" I asked him shocked.
"Why? Do you want to lift me?" he asked back and I shook my head.
So finally I walked inside the parlor and walked towards the ice box to choose the flavor.
"What do you want to have?" I asked looking at him.
"I don't know! Just chose anything." he replied and walked away towards the far table.
I sighed and ordered two 'Butterscotch Icecreams'. Then walked towards the table where he sat.
"Here!" I said placing his infront of him.
"If you wanted to eat Ice cream then why did you made me pay for it?" I asked him confused.
"That is the amount you had to pay for me because I gave you those many lifts yesterday and today. And from tomorrow onwards it will be fresh without any confusion." He replied eating his Ice cream.
I rolled my eyes and mumbled "Just for few days!"
"Over?" he asked and I nodded.
We both got on his Bike but instead of driving straight he took a U turn. I shouted at him asking where is he going but he kept completely quiet.
And finally I mean FINALLY he dropped me infront of my house. I got down and looked at him confused.
"Why are we here? We need to be at the company." I asked him completely confused.
"I have some work in the evening because of which I will not be able to drop you back at your house." He replied.
"So?" I asked him even more confused.
"So! You will not be going to the company like me." he replied shrugging.
"What?" I shouted at him.
"Yeah! I decided that it will be best thing to do." he said.
"Who the hell are you to even decide that? Do you even know how important this internship is for me?" I asked still shouting at him.
"Di! What happened?" Ri asked coming out of the house.
"It is just an internship!" he said frowning.
"No! It is not just an internship for me. It is more than that and you decided all this." I said shaking my head.
"Ri! Please go inside." I added and she did immediately.
"I thought it is not safe for you." he said looking at me.
"I know how to take care of myself. You need not think or care for me. So before deciding something for me just remember that you are not in the position to decided something for me." I said glaring at him and he suddenly pulled me towards him.
I fidgeted in his hands but he locked me completely in his hands. I started hitting him but he held me to himself even more tightly.
I stopped hitting him and stood still in his arms after few minutes. And then he finally released me.
"I am sorry!" he mumbled looking at me.
"Me too!" I said and turned away to go inside my house.
"Will be here tomorrow to pick you up." He said.
"Ok!" I said not turning around.
I calmly went inside my house and locked the door to see both Ri and Kritika looking at me worriedly.
"Sorry for shouting! I don't know what happened to me." I said smiling at them.
"It's ok Di! Sometimes like those things happen." Kritika said and Ri nodded.
I smiled at them and we three sat in the living room. And then started talking about our childhood memories forgetting whatever happened today no matter what it is.
