"Mom! Khushi is going out this late!" Ayush shouted from the hall when he saw me heading towards the door.

"You know you're growing up, you should start acting like a man now." I looked at him angrily, he was the most irritating sibling anyone would ever have.

"Are you going on a date?" My mom asked looking away from the TV as she looked at me excitedly.

"Khushi, that isn't what you should wear for a date." She pouted looking at me from top to bottom.

I was dressed in a black ripped jean, it was ripped in tiny bits from top to bottom and I had worn a plain black Tee on top along with my usual leather jacket along with it I was wearing my favorite ankle boots that had a really tiny heel.

"I look completely fine and hot and I'm not going on a date." I smirked at mom as she looked at me with disappointment.

"Are you ever going to have a boyfriend?" I mean her real concern was why I never had a boyfriend when every girl my age was sneaking their boyfriends inside their room without their parents having an idea about it, my mother needed to be glad I wasn't doing things like that.

"Yes, when guys stop being douchebags and act like gentlemen, I really should have been born in the nineteenth century where true love existed." I laughed.

"At least you believe in love, I was starting to worry." Mom sighed as she looked back at the TV and Ayush was frustrated because he thought mom was going to stop be from going out.

"Why does she get to go out and I don't?" Ayush whined like a baby.

"Because you don't get to go out until you turn eighteen now shut up and watch TV with me." Mom replied, he gave me an angry look and I just smirked at him as I headed out.

As I walked to my car that was parked in the basement, I couldn't stop wondering about what I had said to mom about Love. I mean I had spent so many years of my life fighting with guys and stuff, I'd never thought of having a boyfriend or anything, the only guys I ever had in my life were three.

My father, my annoying little brother and Zion, my best friend. Until today, he had been the only guy I had met that wasn't a douchebag, he was a complete gentleman, he was the most perfect guy I'd ever come across and despite us being friends for so long I'd never thought about him in any other way.

Honestly I dint even really know if I actually believed in love or something, I mean I had my parents to love me, why would I need any other guy to love me? How was it going to be different?

I wasn't against love or anything but I had just never understood the concept and if you'd ask me, I believed that I was never going to fall in love, there was nothing a guy could make me feel that I already hadn't right?

I drove to the club where us girls mostly spent our weekends, it was one of our favorites. I parked my car and headed inside hoping the girls had arrived, I dint like waiting for them because random guys would start approaching me and it was terrible.

I found Caroline standing at the bar along with Stefan, wasn't this supposed to be a girls night or something? Why did she have to bring Stefan along?

"Hey!" She shouted and waved at me as I walked towards her, I had never hanged out with a guy, of course apart from Zion but this was going to be weird with Stefan around.

"Keep Stefan Company, I need to rush to the loo." She giggled as she ran away leaving me alone with Stefan, now what was I supposed to do? The only times I had been around guys was only when I was fighting them.

"You look beautiful." Stefan smiled at me, this was freaking awkward!

"I know, I always do." I shrugged as he laughed at me, now why was he laughing? I looked at him in complete confusion.

"You're supposed to say thank you when someone compliments you Khushi." He smiled and damn this guy looked like a freaking Greek God, I just wanted for him to continue smiling like this so I could continue staring at him.

"What did I miss?" Caroline asked joining us again, I ignored her question and looked around avoiding the looks Stefan was giving me, honestly, I hadn't ever felt this way about a guy before, I mean if a guy told me I looked beautiful I would punch him on the face, but here I was talking nicely to Stefan, what was wrong with me?

I was in fact supposed to ignore him because Caroline clearly liked him so much, I could notice how her eyes lit up whenever she looked at him.

I kept on looking at the entrance waiting for Bonnie or Katherine so they could give me company, I was glad when I saw the door open and Bonnie walk in, but I rolled my eyes when I saw Karthik walking behind her, followed by Katherine and Damon.

When did we all become friends that we were hanging out together now? I really hated this, I did but trust me I was glad Arnav wasn't here.

I remember Bonnie telling me she dint like Karthik because he was a bad boy so why did she even invite him here? The three of them together just ruined my night, imagine Khushi Singhania hanging out with guys, that wasn't my reputation, I usually made sure guys stayed away from me, maybe my mother had something to do with this, she really wanted me to have a boyfriend anyway only if she knew, none of this guys were going to fit that role.

Stefan did have the chances but they were lost because Caroline was my best friend. I stood there silently while they all talked to each other, I was the only one feeling out of place.

I looked at Stefan and caught him staring at me while Caroline was busy telling him her nonstop stories, it was awkward so I decided to walk out and get myself some fresh air, the night wasn't going as planned anyways, it was more like a couples date that me hanging out with my friends who were engrossed in boys and ignoring that I existed.

I walked towards the door while I kept on turning around every few seconds and looking at Stefan who wouldn't stop staring at me, I opened the door and walked out bumping into someone because my eyes were still looking at Stefan! Damn you Stefan!

"Look who's here." Arnav smirked as I finally took my gaze off Stefan and looked at the person I had bumped into, it was none other than Arnav.

"You weren't invited, so what are you doing here?" I asked him angrily, I don't know what happened to me when I saw him, it was like anger came flooding into me, that's how much I hated this guy.

"Oh get over yourself, I am not here for you, I came to find a hot chick, been a while since I got laid." He winked at me.

"Suit yourself." I shrugged and walked away from him thinking he would head inside but he stood there staring at me, I ignored him and continued walking until I bumped into someone again, what was with me bumping into people today?

"Khushi!" the girl looked at me with as much shock as I did.

"Rachel." I said as I looked at the girl standing in front of me, Rachel was Zion's twin sister and I hadn't seen her since...

"I dint think I'd ever meet you again." She smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry I know it's not the right time but did you ever find out why?" I asked as I looked at her curiously, I saw tears forming up in her eyes and I hated to ask her the question but I really needed answers and I was done looking for them.

"We dint." She replied sadly. "I should go." She said as she walked away quickly avoiding me, I found a bench and I sat down on it, looking at the floor sadly.

I rarely felt sad about anything, I was much strong emotionally and even physically but some things really did end up making me emotional.

I shut my eyes and took deep breaths trying to calm myself down, when I felt better I opened my eyes and to my surprise Arnav was seated beside me.

"Damn it, I was waiting for you to cry so I could record a video and show it to everyone, my bad." He said as he stood up looking disappointed that he dint to get to record me crying, seriously?

"What's your problem, why are you following me everywhere? Stay the hell away from me, like I said, I hate seeing you, I hate seeing your face I just hate everything about you." I shouted at him angrily.

"The good news is I feel the same about you." He groaned and walked away, if he did hate me as much as I hated him why wouldn't he stay away from me like I was staying away from him he said something else and did something else.
