I arrived at university and as usual I headed to class, what was surprising was that Khushi was early and she was in class, which never happened, plus she was seated in Nina's place, she smiled brightly at me as I walked inside.

"Hey." I greeted her as I settled down beside her.

"Hey." She smiled.

"How come you're in class today? I thought that wasn't your thing?" I asked.

"Oh so you keep information about me? Impressive." She smirked.

"Not really, I just don't see you much in classes, I'm sure everyone knows that so it's surprising to see you here today, that too seated near me, Nina is the one that usually sits here." I said.

"Oh, so are you trying to chase me away? Like you want me to sit somewhere else so Nina can sit here? I dint know, I'm sorry for bothering." She picked her stuff and stood up, what was with this girl? Why did she always misunderstood what I said?

"I dint mean that Khushi."

"I know what you meant, I was stupid to care, I should be the mean girl I've always been, carry on with your lovely Nina you nerd!" She rolled her eyes and walked towards the door, what was I going to do about this girl?

To make it worse, she bumped into Nina right at the door, Nina had a few books in her hand which fell down.

"Are you blind?" Khushi looked at her angrily.

"Excuse me, you're the one that bumped into me, and instead of apologizing or even picking up the books you're asking me if I'm blind?" Nina looked at her in disbelief.

"Khushi Gupta doesn't apologize, pick the books up yourself, I'm not your servant." She walked away with that, Nina sighed as she bent down to pick the books as I rushed to help her, now Khushi was back to being the mean girl she had always been.

She had like multiple personalities, like somedays she was crying, someday she cared about my sister and visited me and other days she acted this way. What was wrong with her?

"No in a wrong way but at times I wonder why you like her so much, she's so mean." Nina said.

"I know, but I guess when we like someone we're supposed to like their flaws too." I shrugged as the both of us headed to our usual place and settled down.

"You're too good for her, and the problem is, she doesn't even see it, how can she not see how much you like her? Maybe she's just pretending not to see it." Nina said.

"I don't know, anyway let's not talk about it." I said looking away, I dint like talking about Khushi much because it always pained me to know that she was never going to feel anything towards me.

"Anyway how is Anju doing?"

"She's good, she's at home today resting, Kabir also skipped school just to be with her, this kids amaze me." I smiled at her, I mean I wasn't really ready to trust Kabir and now just in a few days, that boy had managed to change my thoughts regarding him.

It was good to know that my sister met a guy like him, people like him were rare, all I was happy about was that even in such times, he was keeping her happy, she deserved it, the both of them deserved each other.

The lecturer walked in taking my mind off the thoughts I was having as I concentrated on the class, Nina and I dint have any other conversation after this.

Once the class was over, I picked my books and headed to another one, Nina had a different class so she headed her way and I headed mine.

As I walked into my second class, it felt quite strange because everyone was staring at me and I dint even know why, then I remembered Khushi was pissed at me so she must have done something stupid again.

When was this girl going to grow up?

"I heard that the nerd finally got a girlfriend." One of the guys said.

"Yeah, that too a girl as hot as Nina, you don't deserve her you nerd." Another one said, what the hell Khushi!

I tried to ignore them and head to my desk but they wouldn't just let me go, a few guys and girl stood up and walked towards me standing around me blocking my way.

"Let me go." I looked at them all seriously.

"We will, but first tell us how you did it, did you write her notes? Girls like such things." One of them said.

"What the hell, don't you guys have any other work? Just spread rumors and disturb people, leave me the hell alone!" I shouted at them.

"Oh look, the nerd is angry." A girl laughed, what was wrong with people? Why were they always poking their noses in other people's business? I was here keeping to myself but all they wanted was to put their nose in my freaking business and it was irritating.

"Should we call your hot girlfriend to save you?" they laughed, I was getting really pissed.

"Excuse me, what's going on here?" The lecturer walked in, gladly everyone returned back to their seat and so did I, I wasn't going to forgive Khushi for doing this, she was going out of limits now.

One moment she was happy with me the other moment she understood me and did such stupid things, what was her problem? Why couldn't she let me be in peace? Was this the price I had to pay for having that stupid crush on her since forever?

Once this class was over, I was going to find her and deal with her on this matter for once and for all.

*****

She was standing in the middle of the hallway bullying some girl with her friends, laughing at her while the other girl looked really scared of them, why was she so mean and heartless really? I was the one who always told people not to judge anyone but today I couldn't stop myself from judging her, what was wrong with her?

I walked towards her, grabbed her arm and pulled her away, she looked at me like she was going to slap me.

"Nerd! You don't hold me like that, go hold your girlfriend Nina's arm." She rolled her eyes.

"What the hell is your problem Khushi?" I shouted at her angrily.

"You are my problem, how dare you talk to me in such tone? You good for nothing nerd, I mean what were you even thinking of yourself? You told me to get out of that freaking desk because dear Nina sits on it, how dare you?" She was really pissed but so was I.

"So you go and spread rumors that she is my girlfriend, are you out of your mind?"

"Oh isn't it true? I thought she was."

"Even if she was, it's not your right to do stupid things like this. Now I get why everyone around here hates you, you're just so heartless you don't give a damn about anyone or anything.

Like for example you and your friends bullying that girl, what did she even do to you? You get fun out of hurting people don't you?

I mean since I've know you I've heard people say terrible things about you and I've always defended you but now I realize how wrong you are.

Maybe people are right, maybe you are all what they say, a heartless mean good for nothing girl who sees nothing and no one above her." I said out of frustration.

"Is that all or do you have more terrible stuff about me to say?" She folded her arms and looked at me like she didn't care.

Why was she up to driving me so mad?

"Yes I have, because today I just feel you've crossed all your limits."

"Really? So say it out loud so I can hear it too." I looked at her silently, I dint want to say something I shouldn't and hurt her but then she was making me mad and here I was trying to control my anger.

"Come on, say it Arnav, I'm listening, say each and every terrible word you have to say to me, I'm all ears." She looked at me seriously.

"Fine, you want me to say it? I will!" I shouted.

"I've know you since we were kids I think and in all this years I haven't judged you even once, I always thought there was reason why you were like this but now I don't care Khushi! I don't care what reasons you have because none of them is enough for you to do terrible things to people you don't like or for whatever reasons.

I've always defended you, in front of everyone without you even knowing but today for the first time ever you've made me question myself, how could I like someone like you? how could I feel this strong crush or like whatever the hell it is for a girl who is nothing but heartless and mean and doesn't give a damn about anything.

For the first time ever I regret having a crush on you because maybe I shouldn't have had one, you don't deserve it. You're just so mean, so heartless so ruthless you are everything I'd want to hate and I'll try to do that from today onwards because maybe hating you is going to be easier than liking you."

She opened her eyes wide and stared at me silently, once I was done saying what I had to I walked away from her not caring how she was going to react.
