chapter 22

[Vibha's p.o.v]     I looked over at her and I knew she wasn't seeing me off . Okay that's still cute, the way she's stealing glances at me refusing to look  and the small pout with those annoyed eyes . She's really adorable. This disrespect can be forgiven for that cuteness. I am sure if not her , her family atleast likes me. And am sure am winning them over pretty soon. She can settle for arrange marriage if not falling in love. I felt myself smile at my own thoughts like some fool . But I can't help it. She is adorable.     All the times I recall. All those interactions, the look, the hug , holding hands , the way she gets all shy and flustered every time I tease her. I was enjoying my sweet time when the annoying noise poked my ears, " Got marriage date fixed?" . And all the happy moments floating on ninth cloud came thundering down threatening to lash out on them. I looked at the smiling Kritika and wished to punch off that smile right there.     I noticed Lilly and Riya trying to escape in background while at a far distance stood the boys who were trying to look everywhere but at us. Dead. All of them are going to be dead today.    I clenched my fit and it was enough of hint for the two who knew me well to start running already. While Kritika still stood there bewildered. I saw Lilly rush back to drag her along. " I- what?" " I belive you want to live enough to taste your wedding cake. So now just run. "        I didn't chase. I have no time and energy to waste on them. Also why ruin my mood for these dummies. I walked ahead lazily but once again caught onto the idiots still sneaking to stalk me. " Though we call you scarecrow , you ain't as thin as that light pole to hide behind it !", I said annoyed as I saw Lilly believing in her non-existent camouflaging skills as she stood behind the pole wearing grey one peice , imagining it was helping her hide.    " Bingo! You are smart!", she complimented snapping fingers at me. I gave her the most disgusted look , " Its not that am smart , it's just that you are dumb below average. " I saw her frown but she ain't my aru to be a concern. I rolled eyes and walked ahead knowing these three are going to eat my head anyways.  " Okay story please ." , Riya was the first to question and I looked away. I don't want them to see me smiling. Not when am looking a total idiot.     " Did she take you home?" " Do I need invitation to be somewhere?" " No...." " Ofcourse not when you literally see that place as your in-laws!", Riya teased and I swear I wished to throw her out of this globe for speaking facts. I walked ahead.     " Ay ay ay. Aishh don't get angry. Tell me what happened?", Lilly asked as she finally caught up. " Nothing. I met her mom and grandma. They seem pretty nice." " And what about her dad?" " He wasn't home. " " She?"" She was doing her best to shoo me away. ", I couldn't help but laugh remembering her getting all shy and embarassed. Cute.     " What did you do?" " Why do you think I did something?" " The way you are smiling. It's obivious.", I faked a cough as I tried to neutralize my expressions but for some reason the smile I had at her mere thought wasn't something that could be hid this easily. " I didn't. Her mom exposed her that's all. " , I said and tried to escape. I knew I might embarass myself if they didn't change the topic any soon. " Exposed in the sense?" , Kritika popped up , blocking my way. This girl seriously loves to add to my trouble. Only if it wasn't for her being Lilly's bestie I swear I'd have her buried 70 ft deep under my foot.     " The sketch I made. " " What about it?" It was the first time all the focus on me was making me nervous. " She treasures it." " Woahhhhh-", for some reason I hated this united teasing sound. I was too embarrassed to even argue now. I walked away and this time I could only hear them laugh and taunt me from the distance but I didn't even turn back once to look.    Thanks to this girl, first time in my life I feel like am getting bullied.      Why can't I stop smiling? Why am I even enjoying it? This teasing, this shit ughh. That's not how it is supposed to go.    Â
