Sorry for the mistakes.

Nandini's pov

And I'm late Again.

God, you should have made me a clock!

Daily morning I run run run, not only morning the whole freaking day, the only thing I do is to Run.

This is so not done! Why my block is this much far while my roommate's is only 2 mins.

I was running and complaining, just then a car came and stop with a screech sound

A black car, who was about to hit me and break my legs but fortunately it stopped

A black car, I don't know its model because I'm so not interested in Cars

These professors think so high of themselves, can't they see I'm crossing the road?

They don't even bother taking the other route which actually is made for vehicles, these people are so full of themselves.

I mean, they are driving the car in the middle of road filled with students and now when any students will come late, they will shout like anything

Hypocrisy!

Shaking my head, I was about to cross the car when the glass window slides down and all my anger turned into nervousness and a little bit, very very little bit of happiness.

Fine, not a little bit!

It wasn't the Professor car, instead it was my one and only Crush Manik Malhotra's car.

Damn, he was looking hot and handsome. His little stubble were giving him the masculine look and the denim which he wore was just WOW.

I lost all the adjectives and vocabulary by seeing him this early in the morning.

Now, this is what we call a Great Start. I don't mind getting late if I can see him like this daily.

I was busy with my thoughts when the car honk pull me out of my thoughts, I moved away from his car and looked up to saw him tiredly raising one of his eyebrows at me

Wow! He knows how to raise one eyebrow

" Done checking me out? Or should I change my pose? " He asked arrogantly, my ears and cheeks got heated up

" Wh-what do you mean? " I asked biting my inner cheeks and averting my gaze from him

" I meant that if you're done checking me out then, move " he said looking irritated

Can't he see I'm already at the side?
Arrogant!

" I- uhh I wasn't checking anyone, okay " I said rolling my eyes but only I knew how difficult it is to act cool infront of your crush

" Well whatever makes you sleep at night" he said speeding his car and left.

Murmuring arrogant, I again started my running session

--------------------

I'm 10 minutes late, and the thing is today I have to go to Auditorium for some work

As I am the student member of Domain Committee, There is some event going on which I have to coordinate it.

Crossing my fingers, I slowly entered the auditorium praying that no professor or students sees me coming late

The seats were already full, it was a 3rd year and 4th year event, means all the seniors whose class held in my block would be here, means Mechanical, Aerospace, Mechatronics, and Material Science

Oh no, Industrial also!

Industrial means Manik, he's gonna be here.

Great! Just Great

Please please god, I don't want to get scolded today, please, please help me!

I was busy in praying and hiding myself when my HOD spoke loudly "Finally Students, our Honourable Chief Guest is here "

I got confused and look behind me only to see no one,

oh that was for me!

I slowly turned back and saw my HOD spitting fire from his eyes like I have stolen both of his kidney

And here comes the attention!

" Good- Good Morning Sir " I said to him smiling a little

I could feel all people staring at me but I didn't have time to look them back

" Why are you always late, Nandini? " He asked closing his eyes controlling himself

Think think, Nandini!

" S-Sir, I was on time but some-some junior asked me - a question, yes a question related to your subject, Propulsion Systems, an-and I had to explain her because it was your subject, Sir " I said whatever came in my mind

I'm so not good in giving excuses but hey, a girl have to try

" You're a Fresher, Nandini. There is no one junior than you " My HOD said sighing heavily and shaking his head like there is no use of saying anything to me

With this every person in the auditorium, every single person started laughing

I was about to roll my eyes when a small, very small smile came into my view. It was him sitting in the middle row with his friends and so called Mahi.

His smile warms my heart, I couldn't help but smiled a little.

" Nandini, now please don't just stand there. Check these " one of the professor called me

" Yes Sir " I said taking the sheets in my hand and checking all the details

" Its completely right sir, should we start giving these? " I asked and they nodded

Me and the other student Members from other stream started distributing the sheets to everybody

Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn't got Manik's row sheets because lets be frank, I am not in a position to face him right now but on the other hand I wanted to see him.

Well the dilema would always be there! Isn't it?

After distributing the sheets, I was going back at the front when I heard someone calling me saying " excuse me, Nandini "

I turned back to saw Cabir, Manik's friend raising his hand.

I went there and asked " yes, any problem with the sheets? "

" Cabir, Cabir Dhawan " he said casually, I got confused that why he is introducing himself

I mean who don't know him? Every soul in this college knows this group of Friends.

There are many stories which I have heard about them, not good stories

My roommate said that these 5 people don't give a damn about anyone but if anyone crosses their path, they become their nightmare.

They all are childhood friends and are from Mumbai itself. They are actually the real definition of Rich spoilt Brat

Why is he introducing himself?

Not knowing what to say I said " I know you, Bhaiya (Bro) "

" What? Am I looking like a Bhaiya ? " He almost shouted glaring at me and all his friends started laughing including Manik.

This was the first time, I saw him laughing. I never saw him laughing. If his smile warms my heart then his laugh would definitely give me peace. Its so childlike and infectious.

I mean how can a guy can be hot and cute at the same time.

At that moment, I wanted to be the reason behind all his laugh and smile but I knew one thing always, I'm not like him. I'm different.

Way too different from his type.

Heck, I'm different from everyone and no body holds that patience to understand me.

Averting my gaze from his infectious laugh, I again turned back to Cabir and spoke politely " No, but you're my senior so, I thought you wouldn't like if I would call you by name. Anyways Cabir Sir, I would take care from next time "

Lets be honest, I can't Cross their path. Damn, I don't want to Die Now.

I got Goals to achieve!

" Woaah woaah stop it girl. Don't call me Sir as well. I'm not ragging you " he said chuckling

His friends have stopped laughing and was only enjoying the scene, before I could reply one of the student Member called me for something, so I had to leave

Thank God!

-----------------------

The boring event where I only had to stand for the whole day became one of my stalking session. I mean the whole day, All I did was to stare at Manik

And that too not from the front, I stared at his back the whole day as I was standing at the very back of the auditorium.

His side profile, His hairs, his shoulders, god am I becoming Mad? Is this what having a crush means?

No matter how much I tried to not see in his direction, I couldn't control myself and ended up staring him again and again.

While he on the other hand was busy talking and discussing with his friends. Also, he didn't gave much attention to his so called ' flavour ' which made me happy.

I overheard the other coordinators whispering something like how he got bored of Mahi now and that's why he's looking out for his next bed warmer.

He is a total playboy, I know that! He literally changes girls every week or so. Girls really get to any extent just to get noticed by him. Even the female teachers can't control themselves infront of him. Sometimes, hearing all these things gives me a reality check.

Just like every other girl who likes Manik Malhotra, I'm also the one in that crowd!

Anyways, My legs were aching and my muscles have got stiff by the time the event was over.

It was not a event more like a speech session, everyone was busy in their own little talks, while I was in my staring session.

The moment it was over, I took a sigh of relief and sat down on one of the chairs.

After sitting, I realised that how much tired I was, I need to sleep soon to function properly.

I closed my eyes thinking about sleeping when after few minutes, someone cleared his throat.

Slowly I opened my eyes, only to see a pair of deep eyes looking at me.

I sit straight, and looked up to see the owner of the deepest eyes standing infront of me, with his hands in his pocket.

" Y-you? What happened? " I asked sitting straight

" Stare happened. " He said with a neutral face while my mouth flung open not knowing what to say

" S-sorry I didn't understand, what? " I said acting as Innocent as I can

" The whole day someone stared at me so much that now my back is burning" he said with a serious face, not showing any kind of emotions.

" So, why a-are you te-telling me? " I asked averting my gaze from him

" You were standing in the back only, so I thought maybe you saw who was the person? " He asked smirking this time

" N-no, how would I see? I had so many works. I-I have no any idea. Ok bye I have to go" I said everything in a go and stood up, walking fast from there

But who am I kidding?

He caught my wrist and spoke or more like ordered in a loud and clear voice " Find out the culprit soon "

I could feel the smirk in his voice, but I chose to keep my mouth shut

Nodding a little, I pull my hands away from him and ran away.

Why? Why? Why?

Am I this obvious? Why can't I live without any silly embarassment? Now what should I do? God, Please help me please.
