"Bro there are so many assignments and I got our football matches too" Manas complained, "You just have assignments and football matches, I got some parties to attend with dad for business purpose" I scratched my head in frustration as I was writing my assignments tirelessly.

"I'm not doing the football matches this week." I stated, because it is impossible to do the business parties, football matches and the assignments all at once.

"Rudra, no you aren't missing your matches" Manas cried like a baby. I wonder how come I stumbled around people like him.

"Don't act like a kid, Manas. I've to skip the football match" I stared at him ruthlessly. He rolled his eyes at me and nodded in an instant.

"But this time you are going to give me the numbers of those hot girls whom you meet during parties" he said excitedly and clapped his hands. I was shocked to see these actions from him. Tho he is a sweetheart, it doesn't mean that he should be acting like this.

My thoughts were disturbed when Ragini entered the class along with Ridhima but I couldn't find Preshtha. I somehow felt sad that she didn't came. Ragini noticed my sadness, "Rudra, Preshtha is coming in few minutes. She is packing her stuffs. We all were in library"

I smiled a thank you to her, and started doing my stuffs but then I heard the most irritating voice in the world. That voice belonged to Kiara.

"Can I sit here baby?" Kiara asked as her fingers were curled in a strand of hair. I shook my head and directed my thumb backwards not even glaring at her.

She stared at me for a while, maybe she is cursing me for not letting her take the place , because that place belongs to Preshtha.

When she didn't got any of my attention she moved from that place.

No sooner, Preshtha came and sat beside me and chit chatted with everyone.

"Do you want help?" Preshtha asked me as I was tired writing the assignments.

"Yep, please write them" I joked.

"I won't mind writing them all. I finished my assignments" she proudly said. This confirmed me that she is some sort of topper .

"Are you sure?" I asked her, I don't want to burden her with my work.

"Of course" she said, "Manas just told me how busy you are" a sympathetic look displayed on her face. If even I could display my feelings like her, it would have been much more better, but I just can't. Hope this new friendship between us changes me into a better version of myself and brings the best out of me.

I heard Preshtha, which broke my train of thoughts, "so do you want me to write your assignments for a week tho" she asked, to be assured I thought for a while, I mean it's kinda wrong to let someone write my assignments but as I'm really busy I think I should give them off to her.

I nodded to her, she gave me a small smile and took my book, and starting writing in it.

And to my suprise, she can copy my handwriting tho there is a slight change but that's fine.

I'm so shooked by how she's copying my handwriting. Got some really smart friends.

Now that's some jugaadu skills, engineers have.

"Preshtha complete my assignments too yaar" I heard Manas pouting in the corner. I rolled my eyes and mouthed him. Shut the fuck up.

"No, I'm not doing that" Preshtha giggled looking at his expression. She looks cuter when her cheeks turn into small balls when she is smiling. I feel like pulling those cheeks. Beautiful cheeks.

"Why? Is it because Rudra is special to you and I'm not" Manas shrugged playfully. Hearing this my eyes popped out of the socket. He litreally didn't have to say that in front of her. It's fine when she is not around but now? No this isn't the perfect timing. I'm going to punch him so bad on his face once we are both are hanging out alone and probably kick him, for saying this.

"Shutup" I gave him a stern look to which he took it as a serious message & kept his mouth shut

I shifted my gaze to Preshtha, she kind of looked uncomfortable but she covered it with a smile.

"Don't take him seriously he's a jerk" I told Preshtha.

"I know" she said. By her actions she still looked uncomfortable

She took her belongings which included my books too and started packing them in her bag. I narrowed my eyes at Manas, this is because of him. If he had kept his mouth shut it won't have happened.

"I'm going to library" Preshtha says.

"I'll come along with you" I say and hung my bag on my shoulder. She looked shocked at first but then she nodded and head out of the classroom.

I took a glance at Manas, "this is all because of you, asshole"

And sprinted behind Bubble.

"Bubble" I said, she was walking ahead of me and not listening to me.

I had no other option, so I held her wrist and pulled her towards me. I expected a normal distance between us but no we didn't had it.

Instead we were so close to each other, so much that if I lean my face two centimetres ahead, I would be kissing her. I could feel her hot breathe hitting on my face.

My gaze felt on her lips, they were so plump and pinkish red and they looked so soft and I wonder how they would taste.

Yes, I can't resist her. She is just so attractive

I placed my hand on her cheeks and caressed them for a few seconds. And slowly leaned towards her lips.

But

I heard one of our professors, Mrs. Swaati Khismatrao shout from behind. Glad she was way too behind which didn't let her see our faces.

I dragged Preshtha along with me and we both ran like there's no tomorrow.

"Preshtha, keep breathing and keep on running" I said, "we don't want our complaints to go to principal"
