Aria's Pov

"You've got to be kidding me," As soon as those words come out of his mouth I frown and give him a glare.

"Excuse me?" I ask offended by his reaction to seeing me.

He just stared at me for some seconds and looked back at his friends who were already trying hard not to laugh. He gave a long sigh and closed his eyes shutting everyone off.

I frowned at him and looked at my other side where Inaya sat. I see her staring at Zian with a dreamy smile on her face. I crunched my face at that look.

"Isn't he hot?" She asks still with her dreamy face on.

"Not at all," I breathed out and looked back at Zian who was facing the other side talking with some boy.

"Let me introduce you to the Bad Boys of our camp," Inaya said from beside me. She sounded excited.

Bad Boys? Seriously? Is this some teenage novel?

"So, you already know Zian, he is the smartest kid of that group," she said and then pointed at the boy from before who was seating on the two-seater.

"The boy near the window, that's Ranbir, he is the intelligent boy in our class," she says and I recognize him as the one who bumped into me at the airport. He at least wasn't rude like this monster sitting beside me.

"Then we have Abeer, who is sitting beside Ranbir, he is like a prankster of the group," she said with humor in her voice. "He once put chewing gum in our Maths teacher's hair because he wasn't understanding trigonometry and she was making it even harder to understand when she tried explaining it to him." She finished and I snorted at that.

"Then the two boys behind them, the one near the window is Varun, he is almost always Silent and speaks whenever necessary, and is addicted to music," she says and I raise my brows at her.

She blushes and looks down. "Actually, I used to stalk him in the ninth standard," she says and I chuckled.

"Then the last one beside Varun is Aarav, he is a flirt." She says and I smile inwardly because I guessed it right before on the airport. "The age of the woman doesn't matter to him, he just looks at girls or women and starts flirting." She completes.

"So, did he ever flirt with you?" I ask and she pouted.

"Sadly, no." She shakes her head. "He only flirts with the girls who aren't from our school, so there would be no problem complaining to teachers later on," she sighs and looks at Aarav longingly.

I cock my head and look at her. Wasn't she giving the same look to Zian some minutes back?

"So, you guys were in the same school?" I ask and she nods.

"They all are childhood friends, I joined in the seventh standard, and heard quite shocking rumors about them." She says making me curious to know more.

"Rumours? As in what?"

"Rumours like they don't mostly interact with anyone, always keep up to themselves. Some say they are a part of some Mafia gang," she says and I look at her weirdly.

This girl needs help.

I nodded my head and looked back at Zian who was now scowling and sitting with his hands folded on his chest. His posture looked so hot and he looked...oh get a grip Aria, he is A grade Asshole, don't you forget.

Soon the plane took off while I mostly interacted with Inaya I can't help but steal glances at Zian who looked busy in reading some novel. He had his big glasses on and he was so into the book that when an air hostess was busy ogling at him, he didn't give her a second glance after he took a bottle of water.

We reached Chandigarh, where we would go to Manali by train. As we wait there for our train, I looked at the ticket Akshay sir just gave us, our train will be after an hour.

I sighed and waited there with Inaya who wouldn't stop talking about Zian and his friends. While talking about Zian, I didn't see him anywhere on the platform as we all waited here.

His friends on the other hand stood by a shop buying snacks. I looked to my left, and there he was. He was walking towards his group of friends with one of the girls behind him who was trying very hard to gain his attention.

I recognized her as one of the girls who was gossiping about dresses and fashion earlier at the Airport. "She is Kiya, Zian's number one fan," Inaya muttered from beside me.

I looked at her confused when she looked ready to tell me everything. "You can say she is an obsessed lover of Zian just like Tanya, the girl in the red dress," Inaya say pointing at the girl near the shop where Zian's friends stood. "Just like Tanya, who is obsessed over Ranbir."

"She is obsessed over Ranbir?" I asked crunching my brows. They looked like siblings to me and never could imagine them as lovers.

"Yup, so tell me something about yourself now," she says and I suddenly felt nervous.

It wasn't always that I got asked about myself. "Well, there's nothing interesting to know about me, but I love playing tennis, I'm good at swimming, I love reading books, and I'm a crazy stalker of Chris Hemsworth," I say.

"Oh, so you're team Thor," she say and I nod my head and chuckled. Of course, there are Avengers fans here.

As we talked, we were called in as our train was ready to go. I took my ticket and searched for my place.

201...201 Where are you?

Soon I spotted the number 201, it was a middle seat. Why? Why is my luck so bad today?

It was between Zian and Aarav who were busy talking about something stupid by the way they were making hand gestures.

I walked to my seat, they ignored me and that's when I cleared my throat to gain their attention. Aarav looked at me surprised while Zian looked like he wants to be anywhere but here with me.

"Yes?" Aarav asks and I pointed at the seat in between them as Aarav did a 'O' from his mouth and chipped a little sorry, as he went back and sat properly on his place.

"Not again," I hear Zian mutter from beside me and I glared at him.

"Excuse me, did you say something?" I ask and he glared back at me.

"Yeah, I said I'm having a very bad day today," Zian say with a fake smile on his face and turned to his other side where his other friends sat.

"Hey ignore him, he is always like that," Aarav says from beside me. He gave me a smile. "Hi. I'm Aarav, that douche's best friend." He says pointing at Zian.

I chuckled at that. I like him already. "Hello, I'm Aria," I say and shake hands with him.

"So, is this your first camp?" He asks and I shook my head.

"No actually, I've gone too few before but not somewhere where there are large mountains and snow," I say and he nodded his head in understanding.

"So, this is your first time on such a big trip?" He asks and I nod. "Same, me and my friends, we used to go to lots of camps before but compared to all others this one is huge," he says.

"Yeah, and I also needed a break after school you know, before starting college and everything," I say and he nods.

"I understand, so what are you planning on taking?" He asks.

"I want to be a lawyer, so yes commerce," I say and think about my dream of becoming a lawyer just like my dad is.

"That's great, I'm taking commerce too, but not going to lie, I hate the laws and shits." He says making me chuckle at his honesty.

"No problem, not everyone loves becoming a lawyer," I say and he nods.

"What about-"

"Will you two just shut up?" Zian cut off Aarav when he was about to ask me something else.

I glared at Zian, "Why? We won't. What are you going to do?" I ask and Zian glared at me.

"Don't make me repeat, and just sit quietly or else get out of here." He says and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You have got a problem so you should go," I say and he gave me a pointed glare.

"Listen you-"

"Okay. Okay stop, Zian we won't be loud." Aarav cut us off in between before we get into some argument and let me tell you I don't back down, at last I'm a lawyer's daughter.

"Asshole," I muttered under my breath and gave him a last glare before turning my attention towards Aarav.

I don't know how I'm going to survive here. God help me.
