*Kritika Pov*

"Where do you think you are going?" Latika asked before I could enter the class.

"To the class duh." I replied smiling.

"Really? We thought you are going to canteen." Ria said rolling her eyes.

"That's why I cleared your doubt." I said hoping they will not ask anything.

"What just happened near the parking lot?" Latika asked folding her hands.

"Nothing?" I asked her back.

"You need to tell us each and every detail." Ria said.

"But not now. Tell us in the canteen as we need to go to our classes." Latika said and I nodded at her.

She smiled a little but immediately walked away when we heard the bell. Ria and I sat in our places and waited for our lecturer.

I tried hard to not look at him but I already know he is looking as Ria is giving me the information about it.

"Kritika! Do you have any more doubts? Looks like we have free period." Karan asked smiling who is sitting in the side bench.

"No need for that. I am here as her tutor and I can help her." We suddenly heard Sanjay's voice and he flopped himself beside me.

I still continued to look at him in shock while he opened my Maths books from my bag. Ria pinched me making me come out of my shock.

"What are you doing?" I asked him in whisper.

"Clearing your doubts." He replied shrugging.

"By sitting beside me?" I asked him and looked around to see few students are looking our way.

"You had no problem sitting beside that Karan." He said looking at me.

"He is my friend." I said looking at him.

"I am not your friend?" He asked me shocked.

"No!" I replied shaking my head in confusion.

"I am not?" He asked again.

"No Sanjay! You are not my friend. You are just my tutor right or did I missed when you said I am your friend?" I asked him frowning trying to remember the scene.

"I never said it but I thought we both are friends." He replied in whisper and looked at the black board.

"Urgh! Guys just now both tell yourselves as friends. No need to discuss that much on this." Ria said pushing me making me lean on him.

"Ria!" I shouted at her.

"What? I am just helping you both to become friends." She replied innocently winking at me.

"I don't have any doubts." I said ignoring her turning towards Sanjay.

"Ok!" he said and continued to look at my Maths book.

"Go!" I said pointing his seat.

"Now tell me, why did you kiss me?" He suddenly asked that too little loud which brought few students attention towards us.

"Stop it!" I said glaring at him.

"Then tell me why did you...." before he could say anything I placed my palm on his mouth.

"I am sorry if it offended you. I will not do it again." I said removing my palm and turned towards Ria.

"It did offended me because it was not on my lips." He whispered thank god.

"What happened to you?" Ria and I asked him at a time.

"Someone gave me a kiss today and I am feeling energetic." He replied smiling at us.

"You are so making me regret it." I said looking at him in shock.

"Don't! Never regret it." He said and returned to his place but not before pecking me on my cheek.

"Did he just do that?" I asked Ria.

"Did I just witness that?" Ria asked me back making me groan.

"Wow! I think he likes you." Suddenly Latika said making me cough while having my lunch.

"What?" I shouted at her and gathered few people attention in the canteen.

"He likes you!" She said shrugging.

"Look I am not shocked about the line you are saying because I have already heard it but what is shocking is you saying it." I said and Ria too has the same shock expression like me.

"Why? I never said a Jerk can't like someone. I just said he will lose that someone with his jerkiness." Latika said smiling at us.

"Then Kritika I just hope he will not lose you by his jerkiness." Ria said.

"For him to lose me he has to have me at first right." I said smiling at them.

"We can hear the doubt in your voice Kritika." Latika said making me gulp because I too can hear that.

*Ritika Pov*

"Ri! What is going on? You are really hiding something from us." Khushi asked and Anita nodded.

"Nothing like that guys. I am so normal." I replied.

"No! I even saw that batch looking at you sometimes a day. Are they bothering you?" Anita asked.

I immediately felt so guilty. Actually I didn't tell them what is happening between us and also about the deal.

Anita is really worried regarding me along with Khushi. I am sure they would have stopped me from doing this.

And I have always done what I wanted to so I don't want to hurt them by ignoring their advices. But even now I am at wrong by hiding all these.

At first I thought after all this I will be free and can tell them but I never thought I would get this attached to them and mainly him.

No! I am not attached to him. This is nothing and just nothing.

"Ri!" Khushi called shaking me.

"Nothing guys!" I said smiling at them and they reluctantly nodded.

I looked for Kalyan and saw him already looking at me. He smiled but I just glared at him looking away.

It is just nothing.....

'Ice cream parlor today in the evening. She is going to be there.' I got a message from Sid and I messaged him back.

I will clear my headache with some ice cream today.

*Akhila Pov*

"You are early!" Rani said smiling at me.

I smiled back at her and started talking to her standing there in the passage between the benches.

Then I suddenly felt someone placing a hand on my waist and pulling me towards my place. I turned to scold whoever it is but saw that it is Khushal.

"Sit!" he said and pushed me inside.

He then sat beside me like everyday but this time little close to me. I continued to look at him in shock and looked around to see everyone is doing the same thing also because he has wounds covered on his face and hands.

As for him he just looked at me like he didn't even create any scene few seconds back.

"Why did you do that?" I asked him.

"What?" he asked confused.

"You dragged me here." I stated.

"I don't want to move when you decide to come and sit here." He said shrugging.

"Don't do that again! Everyone is looking at me like I am alien along with you." I said shaking my head.

"I am used to it. Are you able to handle it?" He asked challenging me.

Why should I even handle it? Well I know for a matter of fact that I have to if I want him to behave like he actually knows me but not like a stranger.

What is this between us? Should I ask him? But what if he again becomes that usual Khushal.

Actually he was always like this demanding but I didn't want to give it even a single thought at that time. Now should I give a thought to his nature?

Before I could continue with my thoughts he held my hand with his and made me turn to look at the black board. Then I saw that our lecturer already arrived.

He tightened his grip on my hand and I returned the favor saying "I guess I can."

*Priya Pov*

"Let's go to lunch." He suddenly said when I was walking towards the staff room.

"Now?" I asked him frowning still little conscious with yesterday's kiss as reminder.

"We have lunch in the lunch time I guess." He said thinking.

I looked at him wide eyed and asked "What happened to you?"

"Perks of hearing students conversations. They have so many counters within themselves." He said amazed.

"I think my students are doing good work then." I said placing my hand in his.

When we entered everyone were watching us so I tried to remove my hand but he has firm grip on mine and didn't let me move it.

He just continued to talk in whisper and in short sentences what he heard today from the students and I smiled at the remaining staff awkwardly placing my books in my locker.

After that I dragged him outside the classroom and said "You should have left my hand."

"Why?" He asked me frowning.

"They all saw us and giving us those knowing looks." I replied sighing even though I don't give any second thought for the gossip I don't want to make me uncomfortable here.

"Who cares what they do. I did what I wanted and that's it." he said in anger with hard expression and walked towards his car leaving my hand.

This rudeness is the reason my students still say I need to be careful but what he said is also true right. I shouldn't have thought about them so I walked to his car and sat inside.

He calmly started driving and stopped infront of a restaurant. When we walked towards a table I sat beside him instead of opposite to him.

I held his hand and smiled at him while he smiled a little. After lunch we both got inside his car and he started to drive.

When he stopped in the parking lot, I turned towards him and said "I thought you will kiss me again after yesterday. Well I guess I was wrong."

He looked at in shock and I started to get down but stopped when he held my wrist. I turned towards him and asked "Yes?"

He didn't replied but just pulled me crashing his lips. And I don't know which kiss is better than which.

After releasing me we saw one lecturer looking at us in shock. I turned towards Bharghav and said smiling "Be ready for the gossip."

"Want to double the gossip?" he asked looking at me.

"How?" I asked him back.

"Like this!" he replied and crashed his lips making me smile more.
