He pulled apart from the girl who was snogging him like there was no tomorrow, he looked towards me and smirked, why was he even smirking at me? As if I cared who he made out with?

"What's he doing here? I only came because I was told he wasn't going to be here." I looked at Bonnie.

"He just arrived back a while ago, no one knew, anyway ignore him, this party is boring as hell, I think we should go home, I'm sure Katherine and Caroline wouldn't want to leave anytime soon." Bonnie said as we both looked at Katherine, she was still busy with Damon so Bonnie and I walked out of the mansion to get some fresh air.

"So where's Karthik? I thought you must be with him." I asked.

"Karthik and I are just friends, and I'm sure he's somewhere in there with a girl, I really don't want someone like him for myself but he's a good friend." Bonnie smiled.

"Honestly, I'm only happy about Caroline and Stefan, the rest of the guys are douchebags." I laughed.

"Wow, that's new, I don't remember the last time you said anything good about any guy, apart from Zion ofcourse, is there something I should know?" She looked at me excitedly.

"Okay, I just find him really good looking and he really sounds like a nice person, I thought I could be friends with him but Caroline likes him and she told me that he liked me, so basically I'm just avoiding him for the sake of Caroline.

Plus you know, this is just not my cup of tea, earlier today he really kept on asking for us to be friends and I couldn't say no." I gritted my teeth nervously, since when did Khushi Singhania start getting nervous?

"Wow you really like this guy." Bonnie laughed.

"I wish it was someone else." I smile at her.

"Like who? Arnav?"

"What? No! Why would you even think that?"

"I don't know, I mean the both of you are always fighting and you hate each other so much but there's just some chemistry there and I think he likes you, he isn't just showing it"

"Why would you say that?" I looked at her curiously, I mean there was no way Arnav could like me, we hated each other and I dint even care if he liked me anyway.

"Just the way he's always wherever you are, he keeps on telling you shit and trying to create a fight with you."

"Yeah he does that because we can't stand each other."

"Or maybe he just does it to get your attention." Bonnie smirked and just then we heard someone calling her, we turned around and saw Karthik standing far away, Bonnie walked towards him leaving me alone, that too after feeding shit in my mind.

There was no way on earth possible that Arnav could like me, did I even want him to like me? What the hell, why was I even thinking about this? Since when did I stop thinking about fighting guys and liking them instead.

A few minutes later, I saw Arnav walking a girl outside, they both headed towards the gate still not taking away their mouths from each other.

The stopped at the gate as the girl finally pulled apart, I remembered seeing her in our university, wow, this guy dint waste any time in finding a girl did he? He turned and looked at me directly, I looked away from him but saw him walking towards me, I hoped he wasn't coming to me, I dint want to fight with him, not here at least.

"You're the first person I've seen getting bored at a party." He said as he stood beside me.

"Yeah, parties aren't my thing, I just came because the girls forced me to." I replied, trying my best not to look at him but I couldn't stop noticing how finely he was dressed.

He was wearing a black jean with a white tee, the tee was really thin basically showing his abs, damn those abs!

"You should try sitting in a random group and playing the stupid games they play, it's fun sometimes." He smiled, and he was staring at me, like really staring at me. okay... what was with him being nice to me suddenly? I thought we hated each other and we were always fighting or arguing about something.

"Are you okay? I mean you're talking to me like a normal human being, I'm starting to get worried that you went out of town and sent back your twin brother who happens to be nice." I laughed.

"So you are keeping details about where I am, impressive but like I told you before, I'm not really interested in you, I would be in case you weren't ugly as shit." He smirked, and here he was back to being himself.

I looked away from him, seriously I was so used to him calling me ugly already, it felt more like a compliment than an insult right now, but if he really thought that I was ugly, why was he staring at me like this?

I mean I could judge from the way people looked and the way he was looking at me it was crystal clear he thought I was hot, well everyone knew that just that Arnav dint like admitting I was so he would call me ugly instead.

"And about talking to you nicely, Stefan had warned me earlier that he invited you and you said you'll come because I wasn't around, so he dint want me to ruin it for you plus that hot blonde that left just made my day." He smirked.

"Of course she made your day, she was all over you." I rolled my eyes.

"Is that jealousy I smell? I know girls die to be with me, I wouldn't be surprised if you're one of them." He smirked proudly as if it was an achievement.

"I'm not the kind of a girl who likes to be a guy's one night stand, and get over yourself, you're the last guy on earth I'd ever think of in that way." I shrugged.

"At least I have a number in your list even though last, but you know what's news, you are nowhere in my list." He smirked.

"But hey, I thought you were the bad girl, how comes you don't do this?" He asked as he looked at me curiously.

"I am a bad girl doesn't mean I have to sleep around with everyone."

"Oh it only means getting drunk and beating boys and what else?"

"Hating them! Look I dint give myself the name, people out here think I've slept with every guy in my university, now I don't know why they think that but I don't have the time to try proving people wrong. I mean I'm not saying I'm a saint, but I definitely I'm a strong girl and if me being strong makes people think I am a bad girl, I don't really mind it."

"So much of overconfidence." He rolled his eyes at me.

He was irritating as hell, Bonnie was completely wrong, there was no way this guy liked me and there was no way I was ever going to like him, I hated him more than I ever hated anyone.

"You always keep telling me I'm ugly and all and you hate me so why are you even here talking to me, I dint invite you, get lost." I looked at him angrily, I knew he was getting angry because he was clenching his fist angrily and he was looking at me like I had turned into a beast.

"Hey, I'm glad you came." He said as he greeted me with a hug, it was awkward because I wasn't used to greeting people this way, it was always from far, I even avoided handshake, but the hug from Stefan felt good.

I turned away from Arnav and looked at Stefan completely ignoring him, he was anyway irritating me here, I just wanted him to leave.

"Wow Khushi, you look absolutely beautiful." He said as he looked at me from top to bottom, I wanted to turn back to Arnav and just smirk at him, I mean I knew I was beautiful and I knew he found me beautiful, his ego just dint want to accept it.

I wasn't always this nice to people, but Stefan was honestly such a good guy, I was nice to him even without trying.

He sat down on the grass and I joined him, he kept looking at the small flower tree that was in front of us silently for a while.

"You know I've never met a girl like you before, you are just... so freaking beautiful at times I feel like just staring at you, you are so smart, so strong, and you don't give a damn about anything, it's impressive." He smiled at me.

"I thought that was the thing about me guys usually hated, me being stronger than them." I laughed, I mean it was true, so many guys hated the fact that I wasn't the usual kind of a girl, I was much stronger than they thought.

"Maybe, but maybe I'm not like any of those guys because your strength impresses me, plus if you are happy with what you are, screw what the world thinks." He smiled.

"I think we should go inside, the girls might be looking for me, and I came here for the party but I've been out here the whole time." I said as I stood up avoiding the conversation, I wish I dint have to avoid it thought.

I stood up and headed inside as he followed me, we found My friends and Stefan's friends seated with some other people, they were playing some sort of game, Stefan joined them as he sat beside Caroline and she couldn't stop smiling seeing him beside him, this girl liked him more than I thought, she was really just so much into him.

"You playing?" Arnav looked at me but I ignored him and sat on the sofa, he was really being nice to me for no reason today and it was confusing, anyway I wasn't going to play any stupid game, but it dint mean I couldn't watch and have fun instead.
