You can sketch people?😱

Yeah? Didn't I tell you?
Not many people know tho.
Just very very close friends and my family.
I don't think I'm good at it so I keep it lowkey

That's not good enough for you? Are you fr?

Lol. No biggie

Can you sketch on the basis of description?

Why? Are you looking for a murderer?

Yeah I'm in CID😒

I thought I can describe myself for you to draw.

Ohhh. Sounds like a good idea.
Excited!!
Tell me

Okay. Lemme look at a picture of myself.

You don't know how you look😒

I do. I want to tell it from a third person pov.

Okay😮

Wavy black hair.
Not very well defined but still quite prominent jaw, dimples.
High nose (I got it from Dad🤭)
Big eyes, a lighter shade of brown.

Why do you sound like someone I know?🧍🏻‍♀️

You know me irl?!!!

I'm not sure.
Lemme try sketching that person.
If it's you then🧍🏻‍♀️

Then?

Lemme draw first😂

Avi had his heart beating faster than usual. There was a possibility of him knowing her in real life. That meant the feelings were only going to get real for him. He went to attend his classes so as to kill some time while she was working on the sketch but nothing could provide him with a distraction. He wanted to know it as soon as possible.

Avi saw the notification on his phone. The heartbeat got louder. He opened the image and that was him. The heartbeat only got louder. He could hear it in his head.

I just drew it very quickly.
Might not be my best work.
It was just for reference.

You underestimate your talent I'll say that.

So?

So?

Is that you?

Yes

You are Avi Rathore?
The Avi Rathore!!!😱
I KNOW YOU!!!!

Clearly

Are you really Avi?
You don't sound like him?

Why? What does he sound like?

He's sort of rude I feel.
Are you really him?
You not playing me right?

*received a .jpeg file*

Me and Alpaca.

That's definitely you and Alpaca🧍🏻‍♀️
What if that's Photoshop?

Trouvaille why would I pretend to be him?

Yeah. Right.
It's not like I have a bias towards him that you would want extra points.

Exactly

Okay. Now this is awkward.

Why? Do you hate me?

No not really.
Hate is such a strong word and I don't have that kind of energy to invest. But I don't particularly like you irl.

Why? What did I do😭

Also, are we in same college?

Yes

Do I know you?

I don't think so.
I'm a very very invisible person unlike you who's literally so famous in the whole college.
Everyone knows you.

Really?

😒

Are we in same class?

Idk

No more questions

Okay😔
I thought we can be friends irl too and I would show you I'm not rude or anything.
I'm a nice person.

We can think about that later

Yeah

Avi looked around him, trying to inspect the classroom for a trace of a known feeling. He thought he would know if she was around despite not knowing what she looks like but now he was not sure.

Will you stop talking now?

Lol no.
I'm still a stranger to you.
Albeit you may run away given your identity is known to me now

Idc.
At least ik you are from my college😏

You can never find me out💁🏻‍♀️

I'll not try to look for you because you don't want me to.
I'll wait.

Stop being sweet.
Avi I know is a rude annoying narcissist

Wow. She's insulting me on my face
I'm nothing but a sweet guy.

You wish lol

You...you are a meanie.😔

That I am🤣

Vrishti was giggling looking at her phone when her mother came in her room. She gave her a warm look, like a mother who has her heart full. It felt good seeing her child happy. Whatever that can ease the situation for her little girl was worth being happy for.

"Baby, time for you to leave that phone now." Her mother said. She knew it would make Vrishti sad but she couldn't help it.

"Yes Mama. Gimme two minutes." She said without looking away from her phone and typed a quick bye and kept it aside. She was not upset to her mother's surprise. She was glad she had a face to put on the stranger friend she had imagined. He was way different from her imagination but workable.

◇◇◇

A/N: And his identity is revealed! Turns out they are from same college. That's insane coincidence isn't it?
