*Akhila Pov*
Then next day we all just stayed in our own rooms not disturbing the others and even slept for long time as it is Sunday. We had small talk while having Brunch and Dinner and that's it.
But today we have to go to college so we got ready and started walking towards the door.
I know he said he will not pick me up anymore but I still had a feeling that he may. But immediately got disappointed when I saw no bike infront of our house.
"Where is Sanjay and UK?" Ri asked both of us.
"He will not come!" Kritika replied and I shook my head.
"Let's go then." Ri said and we three started walking.
"Where is Sid?" Kritika asked Ri.
"I messaged him to not come for me anymore." Ri replied.
I don't know what is going on between her and Sid when we can easily see that she likes Kalyan or atleast hates Kalyan.
"Where is Sanjay then?" Ri asked Kritika.
"He may not come anymore." Kritika replied shrugging.
"What about UK Di?" They both asked me.
"He will never come." I replied knowing the answer.
"What? But why?" Kritika asked.
"Why should he? It is not his duty." I replied shrugging.
"Then what will you do in the evenings Di? You need to go to the company." Kritika asked worriedly.
"When we came to Delhi, did we think that someone will be there for us for these things? No right! We decided to do everything on our own and we will do the same." I replied.
"Exactly! We shouldn't depend on someone Kri like never. Di will be safe and we will help her in that task." Ri said nodding her head happy with my answer making me smile.
"So you will use bus transport?" Kritika asked.
"Yes! I already asked Priya Di to even look into for some second hand scooty. Then there will be no need even for that transport." I replied remembering it.
"Speaking of Priya Di. What happened to her? She is quite busy these days." Ri asked.
"She got herself a boyfriend now. He is nice and she is happy." I replied.
"Really? That's sweet! I want to meet this guy soon." Kritika said excitingly.
"I too want to meet that weird guy." Ri said after I explained how he is but didn't told them about him being divorcee.
Priya Di should be the one who informs those things and not me so I kept quiet.
We finally reached our college and walked to our own classes. When I entered the class I saw Rani and Zakeer looking at each other lovingly.
"Guys this is class." I said shaking my head.
"Oh please! If given chance you would do the same thing with Khushal." Rani said rolling her eyes.
"That is impossible." I said and sat at my normal place.
Just before the bell rang, Khushal entered the classroom with stern expression. Without giving me a glance he walked near me and said "This is my place."
"What? But I have been sitting here for nearly more than half year." I said after coming out of my shock.
"I don't care! This is my place so move." He said with blank look.
I sighed and moved towards the window but didn't get up from my place. Why should I when I know that I have been sitting here for so much time?
"You will not move?" He asked glaring at me.
I shook my head and sat there looking at the Lecturer who just entered the class. Then I felt him sitting beside me.
I shrugged and continued to hear the class. Then I looked down to see few bruises on his hand.
"What happened?" I asked him worriedly touching his hand.
"Don't touch me! And mind your own business." He replied so coldly that I pressed myself even more to the window.
Like he said I minded my own business and got up from lunch when it was time for lunch but he didn't move from his place.
"Can you move? I need to go for canteen." I said looking at him.
He just shook his head and sat there. Rani and Zakeer looked at me worried but I asked them to go telling them that I will handle myself.
After some time I sighed and said "Ok! Just sit like that."
I held his hands carefully not to touch his bruises and pulled one leg up and passed him. Then did the same thing with the other leg.
I walked towards the canteen to see few people already leaving the canteen. I rushed near my friends and started opening my box.
"What happened? Tell us Akhila." Ramya asked frowning.
"Later! I am hungry now." I replied immediately taking spoon from my bag and started taking a bike.
"Here I will feed you. And you tell us what happened." Ramya said taking away my box and started feeding.
I smiled at her and told them what happened today and only today. One of my friends asked why I not had lunch at the class itself.
"It is a rule not to eat in the classroom right. How can I break that and get a punishment on my head?" I asked them and they nodded their heads understanding.
As Ramya already had her Lunch she fed me without any problem. After that I laid my head on the table and said "He is acting weird."
"Actually until now he acted weird. Now he is acting like he always has." Ramya and Rani said at a time.
"What?" I asked them shocked.
"Yeah! Now will you believe what we were trying to say at that time?" Ramya asked and I nodded at her.
Ramya went to her class while Zakeer, Rani and I walked towards our class. When we entered I saw that he is still in his place.
"You can sit with us." Zakeer offered.
"Why should I leave my place? It became special for me Zakeer." I said and walked towards him.
"Will you move or shall I do like I did before?" I threatened him and he moved side.
I immediately went inside and sat in my place then started looking outside the window. Then we got to know that this period is free period.
So I took out my papers and Pencil to draw something as my hands is itching. I looked outside the window and saw the far away scenery.
I smiled and started drawing it as clearly as possible. By the time next lecturer entered the class I finished it.
I placed it back inside my bag and turned to see him sleeping lying his head on the bench.
I slowly placed my hand on his shoulder and shook him. He immediately sat up hissing a little.
"Don't touch me again!" he said looking away at the lecturer.
I took a deep breath so that I will not strangle him for sure. I calmly heard the lecturer and noted down the notes.
*Kritika Pov*
During the whole day Sanjay ignored me and well I returned the favor. I don't even know what happened to him and I don't want to know.
Ria observed this and asked me about this at the lunch period.
"He is just keeping up with his name Ria." I replied smiling.
"What do you mean?" Latika asked.
"His name is Jerk right so he is keeping up with his name." I replied.
"By acting invisible?" Ria asked.
"Does Jerks have any reason to act like any way? They just do what they wish and that's what he is doing. Forget about him." I replied.
"Pinch me Ria." Latika asked Ria.
"I will do it and you too should do that to me." Ria asked Latika.
"Ouch!" they both said at a time even without pinching each other.
"You are actually saying that? Like you?" Latika asked in disbelief.
"Well yes! Now can we move on to next topic?" I asked her smiling and they nodded still looking surprised.
At the last period to my luck our Maths teacher didn't come today so I took out my books to practice few problems.
I looked for Ria when I got a small doubt to see her sitting at the last bench explaining some other subject to someone.
I walked towards Sanjay and asked "Can you explain me this problem?"
"Why should I?" He asked after few minutes looking at me.
"Because you are my tutor." I replied frowning.
"I will do all the explanations in the time which we allotted for the tutoring." He said and looked towards Harsha to continue his talking.
"Hey Kritika! I will explain come on." I heard Karan asking me.
"You are free?" I asked him smiling.
"Yeah! I think I can do this small help for not selecting me." He replied.
I grinned at him and immediately sat behind him. He explained is so good and I so wished he is my tutor because he didn't get irritated when I got some silly doubts.
"I so wish you are my tutor." I said thanking him.
"I am sorry about that." He said smiling.
"It's ok! I have another tutor now and he is also good at it." I said patting his shoulder and got up to see Sanjay standing infront of me.
I frowned at him and he glared at me saying "I will not drop you or pick you up anymore."
"Its ok! I can manage on my own like usual which I did even before you." I said smiling and walked near my bench to see Ria is already in her place and looking at me wide eyed.
"I so wish Latika is here, so that I can ask her to pinch me." She said still looking at me.
"I can do the honors." I said and pinched her for real.
"Ouch!" she shouted and I laughed.
In the evening I walked to our home with Ri and went inside his house while Ri started going towards the bus stop near our house saying she needs to go somewhere.
He came to his house in few minutes and just started explaining the new chapters. He didn't say another word other than relating to Maths and I didn't want him to say anything other than that.
After the tutoring I left his house and went inside my house. I started doing my study for remaining subjects and waited for Ri and Di.
*Ritika Pov*
The whole day I ignored Kalyan and Sid even when Sid tried to talk to me. I just smiled while saying that I am busy so that if his girl sees us she will think we are normal.
Khushi and Anita already left the class while I continued to pack my bag. When I walked outside the class I saw these four guys standing there.
"You are going to come to McDonalds right?" Sid asked.
"Ofcourse! I shouldn't miss a chance from making her jealous right." I replied.
"Let's go then." Ram said.
"I will come there on my own. I need to be with my sister to drop her at our house." I said looking at Kri who is waiting for me.
"We can drop her too." Rahim offered.
"No! We both don't want to create any problem for you all." I said smiling at him.
"O..k! Then I will pick you up at your house." Sid offered.
"Like I said I don't want to create any problem for you and I will be there on my own that too on time." I said and walked towards Kri not at all glancing even once at Kalyan.
"If I don't want him to mess with me then I should think he is not even present whenever he is in the first place which I did today and that is enough." I mumbled to myself.
After reaching our house I walked towards the bus stop and got on one which will take me near McDonalds.
I entered it to see all four of them already sitting at the centre table. Kalyan and Ram are sitting on either side of Sid.
There is an extra chair beside Kalyan but I just took it and placed between Ram and Sid asking "Ram! Can you move a little?"
When Ram moved I placed the chair and sat between Ram and Sid. I took hold of Sid's hand and made it placed on my chair.
"Why did you sit here and why did you placed my hand like that?" Sid asked frowning.
"I am your girlfriend Sid. This is how we supposed to sit." I replied rolling my eyes.
"And I need this whole deal to be finished as soon as possible." I added.
I flirted with Sid a little and he too did the same. I saw the girl fuming with anger and left the place before we could leave.
Then after few minutes I got up to leave and placed money for my bill on the table.
"You need not pay Ritika." Sid said giving my money back.
"You all too need not pay for me. I will like it if you keep that money and don't come to pick me up everyday." Saying that I walked outside the place.
"Ritika!" I heard Kalyan shouting.
"Yes?" I asked him in monotone.
"Th..is this book fell from your bag." He replied giving me a book.
"Thanks." Saying that I walked towards the bus stop.
I got on one and reached my house. When I went inside I saw Kri studying so I took my books and started studying myself
*Akhila Pov*
In the evening he got up when everyone left the room and I immediately got up to leave the classroom.
I met Kritika and Ri at the parking lot asking them how are they going to reach the house and felt relieved they will be with each other while going home.
I walked towards the bus stop and got on the bus which will drop me at the company. As expected Khushal didn't came there and I didn't stopped my work just because of that.
While returning home in the bus I called Priya Di and asked for the cost of a secondhand scooty.
She said she will buy one send me here as she is going to buy one tomorrow. She said she will bargain a little so that it will reduce as she has fear that I may even buy if they double the price.
Reaching the home I immediately cooked the food and slept after having the dinner.
