I arrived at the college late because my mechanic hadn't brought back my car yet so I had to come in Kitty's car, though I came with only one thing in my mind, I had to stay away from Arnav at all costs, since everything that happened between us the night of the party, it was so unlike of us, we were being nice to each other when we weren't supposed to, and after I touched his tattoo, I dint want him to go around teasing me about it.

I walked towards the class and bumped into Stefan in the hallway, this was the last thing I wanted, all I wanted was to stay away from Arnav and his friends but they were everywhere.

"Hey." Stefan smiled at me, oh goodness, why did he have to be so perfect?

"Hey." I replied.

"You left from the party without informing, you would have told me if you were getting bored, I'd have given you some company."

"No, I was just sleepy, anyway I'm getting late to class." I said as I walked away completely avoiding him and rushing to class.

I walked inside and it was half empty, I settled down in my usual place and got my books ready as I waited for the class to begin.

The classroom door opened and I saw Rachel walking it, it was shocking, first of all Rachel wasn't in my college, so what was she doing in my class? She walked towards me and just when she was about to talk, the lecturer walked in too.

"Alright, settle down everybody." He said so Rachel sat down beside me, why was she here?

"We need to talk." She whispered.

"About what? And what are you doing here?" I asked.

"About Zion, it's really important that's why I came here to talk to you." Rachel said.

"Why can't we do it later? I'm really trying to concentrate in this class, it's important for me." I looked at her.

"Fine, we can talk after class but I'm sitting right here." She said, wow now I really wish Arnav was the one sitting beside me than Rachel, because trust me, being around Rachel was just so suffocating.

Not that I dint like her or anything, but she dint like me, she never liked my friendship with Zion, she was always against it and she kept talking Zion out of it but Zion never paid heed to her.

Arnav walked in the class completely ignoring the angry looks the lecturer was giving him for being late, he sat on the seat behind mine, why did I have to be surrounded by this two?

"You know hot girls are supposed to sit next to me, what are you doing seating beside the bad girl?" Arnav asked gawking at Rachel like she was his favorite food.

"Gross." Rachel said completely ignoring him, was he always flirting this stupidly with all girls?

"Why do you girls pretend to find it gross when all you really want to do is touch me?" I wasn't looking at him but I knew for sure that he was smirking, and he was hinting about me touching his tattoo, why did I even touch it? I was stupid, but I touched his tattoo not him!

After class was over I walked out and Rachel followed me like a puppy, yes I was trying to avoid her, she said she wanted to talk to me about something important and it was scaring me, I dint want any bad news, I was still coping up with the fact that Zion was dead.

"It wasn't suicide." Rachel said, I stopped walking and turned to look at her in surprise, why was I even surprised? When everyone else believed that it was suicide I still dint, that's why I was investigating things on my own. I mean he was my friend, I knew him better than anyone and I knew he wouldn't ever commit suicide.

"How do you know that?" I looked at her curiously.

"The police, they said they found some clues but they can't say what it is because it might mess things up, I thought you would like to know because you actually believe that my brother would never kill himself." Rachel looked at me sadly.

"I am so sorry Rachel." I looked back at her sadly, she just shrugged and walked away, and I dint know what to do anymore, when it came to Zion my mind always got so messed up.

"Hey." Arnav's voice brought me out of the world I was lost in, I looked at him and groaned as I tried to walk away avoiding him, why was he coming towards me? We still dint like each other.

"What are you now, my best friend?" I rolled my eyes at him as he caught up with me.

"In your dreams baby girl." He smirked.

"Don't call me that again." I stopped and pointed a finger at him angrily.

"Quite feisty huh, anyway let's get to the point, who was that girl you were talking to?" He smirked at me, seriously?

"Seriously?" I rolled my eyes at him and walked away ignoring his question, there was no way I was giving him any information about Rachel, she was my best friends sister and even though we dint like each other much I was supposed to keep her away from a bad boy playboy, that's what Zion would have done.

"Jealous much?" He smirked as he followed me, why wouldn't he just leave me alone? Was it too much to ask for?

"Stupid much?" I groaned as I paced up hoping he would leave me alone and gladly he did.

*****

I was free until after lunch so all I did was to sit in the library and read, I hadn't been doing that lately, reading was a sort of therapy to me, I really liked it. After the lunch break, I headed to my next class, I settled down and Arnav walked in, why did he always have to be in all the classes I was in?

As expected he walked towards me and settled down beside me smirking proudly, I dint even care anymore so I dint react, I just sat silently hoping the teacher would come soon.

He pulled out his phone from the pocket and started typing something, the keypad sound was really loud and he wouldn't just stop typing, it was irritating.

"Will you take a punch to stop irritating the hell out of me?" I looked at him with a fake smile and blinked my eyes severally.

"I've got two options, give me details about the girl or give me what I want from her" He smirked and then winked at me. I was really done staying calm around this guy, what was his problem?

Why wouldn't he just go to find someone else to irritate?

"I thought you found me ugly, so why would you want anything from me?" I smirked.

"Well yeah, but are you interested?" he winked, seriously he was just making me angrier.

I was just about to stand up and give him a slap or something when the lecturer walked in so I ignored him and looked ahead.

As soon as the lecture was over, I picked up my stuff and rushed out of the classroom, the whole time Arnav kept on doing stupid things to irritate me and I wanted to kill him, only that I was always a good person in classes and to my lecturers I was the good girl who always topped, they dint really know out there I was a different person.

"Khushi stop." I heard Arnav shout as he walked towards me, I was done staying calm.

"What?" I barked at him.

"Excuse me, I have ways to shut that filthy mouth of yours I'm just not willing to use them. I just wanted to inform you that your mechanic never showed up at the house, Karthik was at home today so he found someone to look at your car, it's all good now so you can pick it up from my place." He said.

"Shit! How am I going to do that?" I hated this mechanic, it was high time I found another one, this one never listened to me.

"I can give you lift, I'll be going home after classes anyway you can come with me and drive back but only if you stop being such a bad girl." He rolled his eyes.

"Oh God, what did I do to deserve this torture?" I asked dramatically looking at the sky.

"Well let's see, I came here, silently parked my car in an empty spot but you kicked it for no reason and picked up a fight with me, so it's not God's fault really, it's yours." He smirked.

"Get lost." I said as I threw a book at him, he missed it, I really wish it had hit his face though.

"You know if you need lift, you have to ask nicely." He smirked.

"How about I ask Stefan instead." I smirked back.

"How about he left for home already, you've got two options, Damon or me and I have a feeling you like me more than you like Damon." He winked at me and turned around to walk away.

"I hate you." I shouted. Yes I hated Arnav but I hated Damon too and he seemed all pissed on me for no reason which meant I had to drive with Arnav, again! Seriously God, what did I do to deserve this torture?
