Part 1 - Beauty
It's unbelievable how you can just look at a person and feel like they've taken your breath away isn't it? I mean we all have met at least one such kind of a person in our lives who took our breath away when we looked at them for the first time, maybe it was because of their looks, their dressing sense or something else.
I stood by the hallway with my eyes wide open as I looked at her in complete awe, It wasn't that I was seeing her for the first time, we used to be in the same school and then we even joined the same college, I had been seeing her for years and every time she passed by me, she managed to make time stop.
Khushi Gupta. She was once school's most popular girl, and now she was also the college's most popular girl, she was bold, beautiful and not to forget a rich spoilt brat. She was the kind of a girl everyone in the school and college wanted to be friends with, she was popular, she spent money like it grew on trees, and she had boys running around her, fighting for her and what not, she was none less than a celebrity.
She was five feet five inches tall, she had black hair and hazel eyes, her eyes were the prettiest thing about her, and not to forget she had the perfect body too.
I stared at her as she was busy arguing with some other girl a few feet away from where I was standing, time had literally stopped moving, all I could see was her, how her pretty hair flew to her face because of the wind, how she pushed it back, how she was pointing her finger at the girl, how perfectly her lips moved while she talked, everything about her was so beautiful, so perfect.
I saw her as she bent down and picked up the lipstick that had fallen off her hands when she accidentally hit the girl she had been arguing with, she was literally talking to it and apologizing to it as if it was a living being, at times she was the most childish person I'd seen and at times she was the meanest person I'd come across.
I hadn't ever talked to her, I dint even know if she knew I existed or anything, but I'd been seeing her around, and I knew a lot about her maybe more than anyone else in the college knew her. There were two things here, mostly all the girls wanted to be like her or her friends, and all the guys wanted to date her, she was that perfect so it was obvious that she dint even know someone like me existed.
I was the kind of a guy everyone in school used to call a nerd. My hair always looked messy as if I dint comb it, I wore round harry potter kind of specs and I never bothered to shave my beard, I was always into books, and when I wasn't into books, I was always staring at her.
She passed by me followed by her friend and I was hoping today was the day she was going to notice me, every time she passed by me I hoped the same, but well, as expected she dint, I mean I knew I looked terrible why was she ever going to notice someone like me?
As far as I remembered the list of the guys she had dated, they all were nearly as perfect as her. Some of them were popular in school, some weren't but they were the kind of macho men and all, I was nowhere near them, so all I did was to secretly admire her.
I headed to class brushing off the thoughts about her, I mean since school I had always hoped that one day she was going to notice me but until today she hadn't so it was obvious wasn't it? She was never going to notice someone like me.
I settled down in my usual place, right in front of the lecturer when I saw her walk in the class, not only was I but everyone else too was staring at her.
She headed to the back of the classroom and sat there with her friend being oblivious about how many people were secretly admiring her or hating on her.
I usually dint like when she was in the same class as I was, I mean I obviously liked Khushi, every guy in the college did, but whenever she was around, I couldn't concentrate on anything else.
Once the Professor walked in, everyone went silent and concentrated on the board but Khushi was busy touching up her make-up and talking to her friend.
The lecturer tried to ignore her for a while because this was her usual behavior, she concentrated on everything else apart from class but she was like literally disturbing the entire class with her loud voice.
"Khushi! This isn't a fashion show or a talk show, stop talking and doing make up in my class." Professor Ezra Fitz looked at her angrily.
"Honestly sir, this class is boring, why don't you ever teach something fun?" She asked.
Everyone in the classroom laughed, if anyone had the guts to talk to a professor like that, it was Khushi.
"I'm not here to have fun and if you are going to stay here and disturb the rest of the class I prefer you leave." Mr. Fitz said pointing towards the door.
"I'd love to." She grabbed her books and walked out happily, who was she?
I mean if I was thrown out of the class, I would apologize and beg the professor to let me stay but she was so happy about it, sometimes, I admired her guts and her lifestyle, she was clearly having more fun in a day than I ever did in my entire lifetime.
Once she and her friend were out of class the lecture started again and gladly I managed to concentrate. We had lots of notes to write plus there was tons of homework left by Mr. Fitz which was to be submitted the next day, anyone who dint do so was supposed to get detention.
I packed my stuff and was just about to leave from the class when the classroom door opened and I saw Khushi walk in, she always walked like she was walking on a ramp.
I stared at her in confusion wondering what she was up to because no one else was in the class apart from me, everyone just left as soon as the class was over and I stayed behind copying the notes.
She stopped at my desk and looked at me, was this the moment I was finally getting noticed by the one and only Khushi Gupta?
It looked more like a dream, I couldn't believe that she was actually standing in front of me, looking at her from this close, she looked even prettier. Her hair fell on her face when she bent over my desk, she tucked it behind her ears and looked at me.
How could someone look beautiful even while doing such tiny things like tucking her hair or just leaning over my desk? I was left in awe, despite seeing her almost every day of my life, she still looked so freshly beautiful.
How did she manage to make me feel this way, I wasn't even able to take my eyes off her beautiful face.
She threw a book on my desk and looked at me with her usual smirk.
"Write my notes and do my homework nerd." She ordered.
"Excuse me." I stood up and looked at her in surprise, here I thought she was finally noticing that I existed, well she did notice but only because she wanted her homework done and she was too lazy to do it herself.
Although I couldn't stop wondering, if she knew that I existed before this class or she just knew me now and she was already asking me to do her homework, well she wasn't even asking, she was ordering me like I was her servant or something.
"You heard me." She rolled her eyes at me, she stood up straight and folded her arms looking at me with serious expression thinking I was going to be scared of her.
I chose to ignore her and walk away because no matter how much I liked her, I wasn't going to do her homework for her, everyone came to college for themselves, so she should do her homework on her own or not come to college, as simple as that.
"You nerd! You can't walk away on me like that, dint you hear what I said?" She shouted angrily. She was really short tempered, she always got angry about everything.
"I have a name, it's Arnav and I heard what you said and if you need an answer, no, I'm not doing your homework, do it yourself or go find someone else to do it for you, if you want anything from me, I can only help you understand things you don't that too if you ask me nicely instead of ordering me." I said as I opened the door to walk out.
"Don't mess with me, I'll ruin your entire life." She warned.
"Really, enlighten me." I said as I left the door handle I had been holding and turned to look back at her wondering how she was going to ruin my life, at times she said the most hilarious things to people and I just wanted to laugh at her.
"All I'll have to do is spread a rumor about you, you know once Khushi Gupta spreads a rumor, it spreads like fire and does so much damage." She smirked.
"Really? That's all you got? Bring it on." I challenged her as I walked out of the classroom leaving her fuming.
At least now she knew I existed.
Khushi always did what she said so I was sure she was going to spread a rumor about me and I couldn't stop wondering what it could be, not that I was scared of any rumors, I had dealt with a lot of them since school, some were so weird instead of being angry I just laughed at the people who spread them.
