I knew everything was going to be different today, there was a time when I was just a stranger to Khushi and then we became friends and now we were back to strangers.

Although deep down I knew it was almost impossible to stop feeling for her what I felt, I had to show her otherwise, it was going to be tough.

I had no idea what was going to happened at college today, if she was going to avoid me like I had told her to or she was going to create drama or something.

With Khushi, you would never be sure of how she would react about certain things and I guess that was the scariest part.

I walked in the classroom and found Nina already there, she seemed busy writing some notes so I walked towards her and settled down beside her.

"You seem busy." I smiled at her.

"Yeah, I have a lot of notes pending to write, just trying to finish them." She looked at me for a moment and then continued her writing.

The door to the classroom opened and I looked towards it directly, Khushi stepped in and then stopped, she stared at me for a moment, she had no expressions at all on her face, it was difficult to guess what she must be thinking.

When she saw me, she stepped out again and walked away, at least it wasn't going to be that hard to avoid her as she was doing the same too.

"Did you two fight or something?" Nina asked.

"Not really why?"

"She just walked away like that, there must be a reason for it."

"Yeah, I just ended my friendship with her hoping it would make her accepting her feelings which I doubt will happen, she's too stubborn." I said.

"You know what I've learnt about love is that, if it's meant to be, it will happen no matter what, and if it's not meant to be, nothing you do or try will make it happen, so let it go with the flow." She smiled and continued writing again.

"Wow I see someone's got some good knowledge about love." I smirked at her.

"Well love teaches you a lot of things." She giggled without looking at me this time, I sighed as I waited for the lecturer to arrive, I just wanted to get done with classes and go back home, it was just weird being here today.

*****

At lunch time, Nina and I headed to the canteen as usual, settled down in our usual place as we ate together.

Khushi too came with her friends and unlike earlier today, she dint leave, she picked a table opposite ours and sat there staring at me like she wanted to murder me.

"Why aren't you eating?" Nina asked noticing I hadn't eaten even one of my fries. She was seated facing me so she couldn't see Khushi behind her.

She grabbed a few fries from the plate and stuffed it in my mouth.

"Don't make me feed you like a baby now, eat, we have a class in like fifteen minutes." She ordered, I looked at Khushi who looked really pissed.

I had no idea if she was angry about me ending our friendship or Nina feeding me, whatever it was, as long as it made her angry, it was going to help with what I had in mind.

"Then feed me." I giggled.

"You are impossible." Nina shrugged, I laughed as I picked up a few fries and threw them at her, she looked at me and then picked some and threw at me. I wasn't someone to waste food but it was affecting Khushi so I had to do it.

I saw her stand up and walk towards us and now that was suddenly making me nervous, was she going to shout at me or something?

"Will you guys stop being kids?" She asked as she folded her arms and looked at the both of us seriously.

"Excuse me?" I looked at her pretending to be confident.

"There are people out there who don't have food and here you are playing with it, if you cant eat it at least donate it." She rolled her eyes and then walked away leaving me smiling, I liked knowing that all this was somehow affecting her.

Maybe it was actually going to work.

"You know she's right, eat now and stop wasting food." Nina looked at me strictly, I nodded as I silently finished my food.

Once we were done with our lunch, we both headed back to class, we had the same class together so we went together.

On the hallway I found Khushi talking to Rish and that somehow made my blood boil. I don't get why she was even talking to him after what he did, if she was trying to hurt me she could do it with someone else, why this freaking idiot Rish?

I clenched my fists tight as I inhaled a deep breath trying to maintain my calm as I walked past her pretending to be completely normal when all I wanted to do was punch Rish.

"Dint Rish harass her last time? Why would Khushi talk to him?" Nina asked as we walked inside the class and settled down.

"I don't know what she's trying to do, at times she doesn't think." I said angrily.

"Its okay don't worry, she would be fine." Nina assured me, I just nodded and tried to be calm just because I dint want to ruin things, I knew she must be doing this on purpose to make me angry and react, I had known her long enough to understand each and every thing she did and the reason behind it too.

*****

Later in the evening, as usual I headed to the parking lot and got into my car to drive home, when I drove out of the gate, I found Khushi standing there waiting for a cab.

Again because I knew her so well, I knew she was doing this so I would ask to drop her home but well I wasn't going to give in like that, this time she had to tell me the truth about what she felt for me, not lie to me because of reasons she had.

I drove by her pretending I dint see her, as I drove by as I saw her through the side mirror, she stamped her feet on the ground angrily because I dint ask to drop her.

I smiled and continued driving, I dint know this would started working so soon, I couldn't wait to get home and tell Anju and Kabir about today.

As expected, when I arrived home, Kabir and Anju were already there and as soon as I walked in, the started asking me questions about today, if I managed to ignore Khushi and how she reacted and everything.

I sat down opposite them and told them each and every detail about today and they also seemed to be thinking that this was working, I really hoped it was.

"So what next do you have in your mind?" Kabir asked.

"I don't have anything, won't ignoring her work?"

"No, there has to be more, just ignoring her won't work, she might find ways to talk to you or something." He said.

"I guess jealousy would work, it always works." Anju looked at me excitedly.

"That's so filmy, it works only in movies, if I try making Khushi jealous she might end up doing the same to me in return." I said.

"It does work in real, Anju is right, try to make her jealous." Kabir agreed with her.

"But how? I don't even know a girl that would help me make her jealous."

"Your friend Nina can." Anju suggested.

"No, she has feelings for me, this would just hurt her, I am not going to ask Nina for help, if you guys have any other girl in mind then tell me, otherwise cancel the jealousy plan but Nina isn't getting involved in this for sure." I stood as I looked at the strictly and headed to my room leaving them discuss which girl could help us.

I doubt we were going to get any seeing that I dint have any friends who were girls apart from Nina.
