As soon as the English class ended, I made sure to leave it the first, and I was going to make sure I dint come face to face with Arnav, not at least today, not after what he said in class and embarrassed me, after whatever he said, the whole class had turned around to look at me, and especially girls, who were staring at me like I had committed a crime.

It was for sure that despite his bad boy attitude, girls still fell for him, of course they had to, he was hot, it wasn't easy not to be attracted towards him, and girls usually had a thing for bad boys.

I had to attend a few more classes after the English class I thanked God because I dint see him in any of those classes, I was glad because I dint want any other embarrassing moment, after the English class, I got strange glares from girls in the hallway, obviously the word was out, it was easier to let out secrets in school and they would spread like fire within moments.

I walked to the canteen at lunch time and found Ryle, as usual being harassed by the boys, what did he have with them? Why were they usually harassing him only, I mean there were plenty of people in the school and ninety percent of them were scared of them, they could harass anyone but they always chose Ryle.

I walked up to him and glared at the boys angrily, they stepped aside and I settled down opposite Ryle giving him a look, he looked a bit nervous but he managed to smile at me."Would you mind to leave us alone?" I turned to look at Aaron, he shrugged and then ran his hand through his hair, damn that was hot.

"Oh sure, after we are done with him." Aaron replied back looking at me like I was a waste of space.

"What's with you all? Do you think you are showing how macho you are by continuously harassing him, why don't you get someone else and leave my friend alone?" I asked them angrily.

"Because Love, your friend doesn't leave us alone either." I heard Arnav's voice from behind me.Holy Shit!

I had planned to change ways if I saw him coming my way and here he was again, he pushed Ree aside and stepped on his place, he folded him arms and stared at me, I tried to stare back for a while but I lost, his gaze was too intense.

"What did you do now?" I asked Ryle, trying my best to avoid even looking at Arnav, because obviously I lacked some self-control and he was super-hot, what a terrible combination.

"Nothing much, I had them planning something so I intervened their conversation and told them I won't let them do whatever they were planning so that's why they are here." Ryle said like it was no big deal.

Wasn't he the one telling me to stay away from them? Or was it Leena? But whatever, I thought he was the one person who wouldn't ever want to mess up with the boys and now he was the one who had started challenging them, really Ryle? Such a terrible thing to do.

"Let's go guys, he won't be able to even figure out what our plan is." Arnav said in his mesmerizing voice that sounded like something soothing music to my ears, it wasn't hard, it was impossible not to be attracted towards this bad boy.

"Do you think you are some super intelligent squad on a secret mission that I won't be able to figure out what you are up to? I bet I'll find out and stop you from doing whatever it is that you've planned, because last time I heard you guys planning something, the whole school was flooded in water, I won't let that happen again." Ryle said, this time he sounded angry.

"Want to bet?" Ree said jumping in excitedly, it looked like Ree had a thing for bets.

"Sure." Ryle folded his arms and looked at them confidently like he was some police officer who was going to figure out their secret mission.

"What does the winner get?" Arnav asked, I still dint look at him, that was some pretty good self-control wasn't it? Despite having him standing next to me for more than five minutes now, I managed not to look at him, that was the kind of achievement that should be in the Guinness book of world records.

"Anything you decide, because I know for sure, I'm going to win this bet." Ryle said confidently as if he already knew what their plan was.

Everyone was silent for a while, I just kept on staring at Ryle but none of them seemed to be coming up with a good enough reward, I started fiddling with my fingers when I heard Arnav's voice once again.

"If we win, I get a date with Khushi." As soon as those words left his mouth, I heard everyone grunting, I turned to look at him the very same moment in shock and he was already looking at me, smirking like an idiot.

Of course he was hot, but there was no way I was going on a date with him, not after the insult at the hotel that day, not after what Leena told me, and definitely not after how he embarrassed me in class today, I had face more than fifty girls in the hall way staring at me like I had stolen their boyfriends.

His gang members were looking at him like he had just asked for a million dollars, well that would be still better than asking for this.

"And if I win, you promise never to show Khushi your face again." Ryle said.

"Ryle NO!" I shouted in capital letters.

"There is no way I am a reward for this stupid bet of yours, and there is no way I am going to any kind of a date with him, you better look for something else." I said as I looked at Ryle angrily.

We had just met, we just became friends, there was no way he even had the right to drag me into all this when I had nothing to do with it.

"Look at it this way Khushi, If I win, he would leave you alone, you wouldn't even get to see his face, just imagine how good that would be, and you don't have to worry, I am going to win this bet for sure." Ryle explained as he placed his hand on mine.

I looked at Arnav whose eyes were stuck on mine and Ryle's hand at the moment, he looked angry, he turned to look at me with anger all over his face it scared me for a moment, I pulled my hand away from Ryle's and stood up.

"There is no way I am going to be a part of this bet, not even as a damn reward and you better get that Ryle." I gave him an angry glare and picked up my bag ready to leave, I had just taken a step when someone got hold of my arm and pulled me back.

I came face to face with Arnav, he let go off me immediately but the damage was done, I was already feeling butterflies in my stomach just by the mere touch, and it wasn't even intimate, it was just a casual touch.

"Scared that you'll fall for me if you go on a date with me Love?" He raised his eyebrow.

I don't know how he managed to do this, make me feel so weak, I was like literally shivering, my mind was continuously rewinding and playing the scene in slow motion where he had touched my arm and pulled me back, I swear I was going crazy.

"Fall for someone like you? Not even in my worst nightmare." I looked at him angrily, he smirked once again irritating the hell out of me, I just pushed him away and ran out of the canteen, apparently our conversation was being watched by everyone in then canteen like it was some sort of movie.

I tell you, the looks I got from the girls who had just learnt that Arnav wanted a date with me were enough to kill me.

I dint know where to go, everywhere I went I was met with strange glared from people and just to feel safe and okay, I rushed to the parking lot hoping to sit in my car for a while until I was good enough to go back to the rest of the afternoon classes.

I stopped by my beetle and just when I was about to unlock it, I had some sounds, I turned around and found Leena leaning against a white car, of course she was alone, she was with a guy I had never seen in school, and they were making out!

"Leena!" I said as I looked at her in shock.

She pulled apart and turned to look at me in confusion and then suddenly when realization dawned upon her, she quickly adjusted her clothes and said something to the guy who nodded in return and then walked away.

"What are you doing here?" She asked stopping in front of me.

"That should be my question, I mean I dint even know you have a boyfriend, and seriously, making out in the school parking lot is the most terrible thing to do."

"Well I would tell you if you get time from Arnav." She folded her arms.

"What do you mean, I am not going around with him."

"I've heard the rumor okay, I know what he said in class today and trust me girls have a lot to say about this."

"A lot like what?" I shook my head at her, obviously when rumors spread, everyone had something to say about it, so what was so interesting about a rumor about me that could make Leena think I was into Arnav.

"They're saying that Arnav likes you or something, he's always staring at you in classes, and after what he said in class today, everyone is so sure and now some of the girls even hate you because they've been trying to get his attention for so long and he doesn't just care about them and you are here, trying to avoid him and he's giving you all his attention."

"So that's not my fault Leena, and I don't care what everyone else has to say about this, you are the one who warned me against him and I'm doing my best to stay away from him."

"I know that and trust me that's the best thing to do, you don't want to get involved with a bad boy, that's the worst thing you'll ever do but then Arnav's charm is hard to resist."

"Whatever, why are we even talking about him, remember I just caught you with a guy, so how about we talk about that."

"Well he's ofcourse my boyfriend, his name's Luke and we started dating like two months ago, I wanted to tell you about him but we never had the chance to talk regarding that topic, you'll meet him very soon but for now he was a bit shy, I tried to convince him to come say hi to you but the situation was already awkward."

"Oh okay, I see... that's great anyway I just came to chill in my car for a while, I'll see you later?""Sure." She smiled and then walked away leaving me alone, I unlocked my car and sat inside rewinding everything that happened today.

I still couldn't believe Arnav wanted a date with me, I mean why would he? I remember he was the one who said I wasn't that beautiful at the hotel but then he kept on staring at me every now and then and suddenly he wants to go on a date with him.

I wasn't going to lie to myself, of course I liked the idea of it and I liked to think how it would be but that was all, I still dint want to go with him, I dint even want to face him so the date wasn't really going to happen.

Maybe he had just had a bet with someone the kind of he had with Ryle and maybe I was a part of it, such things happened in schools a lot, and knowing Arnav was a bad boy who dint think I was beautiful and still wanted a date with me definitely meant that I was surely a part of a bet.
