"Why are people crowded over there?" I asked Kidou.

"I don't know. Let us find out." It is the last period before lunch in our regular college life, I mean it is regular these few days. So far Gouenji forgot about the trip and for that I am thankful. I am not going to remind him because that would be practically planning for my own demise. Knowing him he will find ways to torture me.

"Is it some new famous kid?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean? You don't know all the kids in your circle?"

"What circle do you mean? You have to know that if any such circle exists you are in it since you are one of us." He mock glared at me.

"Okay, sorry. It's just...nothing." I settled and held up my hands in surrender. "Wait, do we need to interfere? Can't we just sit here and mind our own business? Anyway people here just like to exaggerate things and make a fuss for normal things."

"That's why you are oblivious to your surroundings. Minding your own business is fine but you should also know what is going on in this world. Keeping yourself updated is also one of the things important in this business oriented world." He said dragging me along with him to the crowd. All I could hear is their obnoxious laughter or at least for me it is obnoxious since I am not a fan of crowds.

"Come on how can you still like cartoons?" I heard someone question.

"Seriously he is still a kid but aiming so high."

"Ssh! The kid will be hurt." Someone else mocked.

I somehow don't like the situation. It feels as if these guys are teasing someone. But does it still happen in this world? I mean come on we are very much developed than that right? All that still doesn't happen in this real world right? I mean what do we get by teasing others and mocking them? We went a little further in the crowd to find all these guys crowded around a guy who sat tall in his seat not caring about the crowd around him. Who is he? He seems around my age. Of course he should be since he is in this classroom. Is he the leader of this group? A victim? But he has his head held high to be the victim. A spectator but then again why are they crowded around him?

"Still acting so proud?" Someone else pushed him. So he seems to be the victim but then again why? Am I misinterpreting the situation? I am confused.

"How can such a kid be in our class? Just because of your money and status skipping classes and joining your seniors. What joke is this?"

I looked at Kidou in confusion. What is happening here?

"What's happening here guys?" Kidou asked.

"Oh here comes another rich kid." They mocked Kidou this time."Ah yes! You want to know what is going on?" He asked very sarcastically for my liking. "This kid here, two years younger than us" Oh! I didn't know. I should say he looks more mature than me. "who likes cartoons and is 'deaf' but just because he came from a rich background got into this class."

To say I am pissed is an understatement. Why should they mock him and why are they putting emphasis on the part that he is deaf? And what is wrong with liking cartoons?

"Come on how can a deaf kid be in the same class as us? It is a shame to us."

"Why not?" I found myself saying before I could stop myself. They all turned to me. Well then I should say what I think? "Why can't he be in the same class with us? And what is wrong with liking cartoons? If he likes cartoons then it's fine. Every individual has his own taste." I asked bewildered. What is wrong with them?

"So are you telling me that you like cartoons?"

"Where does that question come from? But if you really want an answer then yes, I do like them. I only see animated movies and horror pictures. Do you have some problem with that? Even if you do keep it to yourself because I won't force you to watch them or like them."

By this time mostly everyone is silent and watching the encounter between the two of us.

"How can a deaf and childish guy be in our class except for his connections and his rich dad?"

"What has it got to do with you? Who told you that he is here because of his connections? May be he is intelligent? Even if not and he got here by his connections what has it got to do with you? What is your problem with it? Why are you even mentioning that he is deaf before and after each and every sentence? Is that really necessary to point it out? I don't think it is a shame to be in the same class as him but it would be a shame to be with you if you continue with your narrow mind and thoughts. If you have some problem with him just try to ignore him or settle it quietly. Don't make a crowd like this and joke at some person."

"Oh yeah, I forgot that you also joined that rich kids club recently. Having fun sleeping with them? Are they giving you enough money for your designer bags?"

"Umm.. first of all they are my friends and I won't stay silent if you say something about them. I know that some sleep around with people if the other party has money money but that doesn't mean everyone do so and I for sure won't do such things and my bags are not designer bags. Just normal ones and all of them are my good friends. Even if I sleep with them that is none of your business. That is my business and I suggest you look after your own business. Let us forget this here and never interfere with others. If we interfere it has to be for some good reason, not to torment others. Try to put yourself in other's shoes and think before you act." I said and turned around back to my seat. Kidou followed me.

"Oh my! You are a tigress." He said after we settled in our seats. "What happened to minding your own business? You were like a tiger firing at him fiercely. I never saw you that angry, oh! Except for our first encounter. You hide your temper quite well. What a fire of words? I was speechless. And you eyes, glaring at him as if shooting bullets. I am impressed."

Did I learn how to glare from Gouenji? That is possible. I might have learned unconsciously seeing him glare at me all the time.

"What are you saying? I didn't plan to fire at him like you said. Somehow I blurted a small question and all turned to me. So I thought why not and said what I felt. But somehow along the way I got agitated with his words. He was being unreasonable and childish." I said shaking my head trying to forget all this. Thankfully the crowd disappeared as soon as I walked away from them or else I don't know what I would have done. Seriously, I don't know.

"But you are superb. Just like a heroine."

"I am not! And if you would please I would like to forget about it."

I don't think I am the heroine hero. He is the hero. Who knows what he has to go through all over his life? May be just like today people blamed him for his wealth and his inability to hear. But he stood tall and proud, very brave, not showing any weakness. He is a great kid. I don't know if I could be like him if in his position. A good kid. Oh! Here comes the professor. Need to concentrate.

Ring! Ring!

Oh! Lunch break. I got lunch for Gouenji and myself and sat in our seats. I ate slowly enjoying my peaceful life. Though Gouenji invaded my life along with his friends, I got adjusted to their presence and once again my life is peaceful. Ah! How I love my own secluded life. No drama, nothing. Plain, simple old days.

"I don't mind dating you." I totally jinxed it! Damn me and my mouth! Couldn't shut my mouth. Just now I was thinking about a peaceful life and someone appeared now to destroy it. Damn it! Screw everyone! Curse to the pits of hell whoever you are.

I looked up grudgingly and as usual I found my mouth open at the shock to find the earlier guy, who I described to be a good kid, the one who stood tall and proud amidst all of the bullying, the one whom I admired for his strength. Looks like I am going to change my opinion very soon.

"Excuse me?" I asked to be sure hoping that I heard wrong.

"I don't mind dating you." He repeated the same exact words. I scratched my head not really knowing what to say. Why is he saying that and what are his intention behind that? He dragged a chair from the other table and sat beside me facing me.

"And why do you think so?"

"Isn't that what you want?"

"What made you think that is what I want?" I asked completely confused. Do I give weird vibes? I mean is there some board around me saying 'I date and sleep around with guys for money'. Because that is what everyone thinks recently.

"Isn't that what you helped me earlier? You helped me to date me so that I can you buy all the things you want, take you to places you want and what not. May be then I feel like marrying you and I propose you. Isn't that what you want?"

I couldn't control myself anymore and banged my head on the table.

"Destiny!" G and Robert shouted. Aram and Kidou are having a fit of laughter. Gouenji is having fun and watching my every moment with fun. I really don't know when I became an entertainer. Might as well charge for all the fun I provide. But seriously God, why do I always encounter these kind of people. Mr.Arrogant no.2

"Three things. No.1-I didn't help you much, may be not at all. No.2-What kind of girls did you date earlier to think I did what I did for that reason? No.3-I don't date, Especially younger guys."

"Then you want to me sleep with me?"

"Ugh! Why? Why? Why does this always happen to me? What have I done wrong?" I turned to this guy glaring completely full of anger. "What made you think so? I am a virgin alright? I don't have any idea of sleeping with nor with anyone else. Now if you move I will continue with my lunch peacefully." I showed all my anger on the food and stabbed whatever it is present in my plate with the fork in my hand. Be patient Destiny! Violence is not the answer. You don't want your destiny awaiting you behind the prison bars.

"How much do you want?"

"What?" I asked turning around. I always talked facing him so that he could read my lips in case he is deaf like they said.

"I said how much do you want? You might have known my background and wanted some money or some help." He said as it is the obvious thing in this world. My patience level reached bare minimum. I so want to throw my plate at him, shout like anything and leave. I took deep breathes trying to calm myself. That is not the solution to anything. You can't randomly throw things and escape without any danger. Don't do impulsive things Destiny. Take deep breathe.

"Who are you?" I asked completely horrified. "I don't know you to want something from you. Wh..no, I don't think I can convince you nor do I want to convince you. Yes, I do want something. See in the vending machine, there is a chocolate I want and I forgot to bring money. So I searched the entire college and found this rich junior. So I approached you to get 10 dollars. But I didn't expect you to come to me this quickly." I smiled at him completely satisfied with my story.

"Now give me 10 dollars." I said seriously glaring at him. "10 dollars." I demanded again. He took 10 dollars and placed it in my hand. I clutched it. "There, I got what I wanted. So this is the end of our relationship. You don't know me, I don't know you. I got what I schemed to get, as a result of 'helping' you big time. There, bye." I smiled sweetly waving at him.

"What are you still doing here? Go! I am done with you. You are of no use to me. So get lost."I said shooing him. He left after a good five minutes of ignoring him and showing my wrath on my poor innocent lunch. As soon as he left all my friend burst into laughter.

"By the way," Kidou said trying to control himself and talk to me, "there is no chocolate anywhere in the college vending machine."

"Well, we know but he doesn't know that! So no harm done." I shrugged.

"As a matter of fact, he knows. I believe everyone in our college knows!" Robert, the eve logical said.

"Leaving that aside! You are virgin? How old are you? I didn't really expect that?" Kidou exclaimed.

"I think it can be expected. She is really naive and innocent. She never had a boyfriend remember? Gouenji's report said so the other day. I think that can be expected of her."

"I know that she never had any boyfriend but I expected one or two flings. I mean she is like what, 21?"

I think I really gave unnecessary information. I don't like the topic of my virginity as the discussion.

"Soon to be 21 but what has age got to do with being a virgin? I don't really like anyone to consider giving up by virginity and I hate flings or one-night stands whatever you say. It is disgusting to me."

"Are you a lesbian?" Kidou asked.

I rolled my eyes at his question. "Do I really have to be a lesbian if I am still a virgin? I just never found someone to love. May be if I do find someone I don't think I will give it up until marriage. And to answer your question if I ever see some beautiful girl I feel it would have been good if I am as beautiful as her, so I think no, I am not a lesbian."

"Sorry, it's just that.."

"You need not explain. I am not hurt. I am just wondering why everyone would assume so. It's not compulsory to sleep with someone."

"But we do have needs."

"Yes, but unlike animals we can control urges instead of acting upon them. If we start acting upon our needs I don't think there is a difference between us and animals. That is what I think. I have a set of morals. You might have some other ideas but I won't force my ethical values on you. I'll leave it to you. Your values your wish and mine my wish."

"Okay we get you." Aram replied while Kidou seemed to be in thought. "But you have nothing to be feel bad when you see good looking girls. You are smoking hot. Even sexy!" He smirked and I gaped at him. Is he out of his mind? I think he is pulling my leg. I am far from that, below average if I should be frank. Well, whatever he thinks! May be he is biased since he is my friend. I felt murderous aura beside me and I found Gouenji glaring deathly at Aram who seemed to be unaware of it. I guess he disagrees with Aram on that point. After all he hates me and maybe he got angry with him for saying such ridiculous statement about one he hates.
