I turned on my spy camera pen and shoved it in the hem of my leggings, so it will be easier for me to stick it in his pen stand to cover his face on camera clearly. I made sure my dupatta covered my right side completely, so the bump of the pen won't be visible.

I entered into his staff room and there he is, sitting inside, correcting some papers like a responsible teacher. He looked up and smiled at me, and waved me to sit down.

"Wait for Y/n, I'll finish correcting this paper." He said and I eyed the pen stand in front of me and I "accidentally" shoved it down and added my spy camera to it in a way it would face him. It also has a voice recorder too.

I sat impatiently, hoping he wouldn't find the spy camera and thinking of a way to run away while carrying the spy pen. I am shifting in the cold sitting chair and Arjun took the AC remote and turned OFF the air conditioner.

"Now you're alright. But being in a room with you in front of me makes me sweaty though. " He said unbuttoning his collar and his handcuffs.

"Y/n, you must think of me as a pervert. But a pervert is someone who goes for every woman. I'm not one since I only go for you." He said smiling while giving me the stare again. 

"It's illegal for a teacher to talk like this. and it's wrong too," I said gripping my sweaty hands on my bag and he put his pen down.

"Is it illegal to flirt with my fiancee?" He asked and my heart sent me signals of a heart attack.

"I'm the groom who cooks well, the one your mother mentioned. And they even fixed a date to meet" He said and winked at me. I stood up left the staffroom while taking my phone and dialling my mom' number.

"Y/N paapa , did you eat --- "

"Mom did I asked you to fix my marriage now? How can you fix the groom without even mentioning to me?" I shouted while rage filled my heart and my hands enough to crush the phone on one and Arjun Reddy's skull on the other.

"Why are you shouting? I'll stitch up your mouth remember! disrespectful kid!! As if we never mentioned before, we already told you about my distant brother and his son. He decided that you're his daughter in law on the very day you were born" She said in a happy tone. 

"You come to home this weekend, we'll have an official meetup." She added.

"By the way, how did you know? I didn't even tell Saara" Mother wondered when I cut the call.

"See you in your house, darlin" He whispered on my ear and then left, climbing down the stairs.

"Bobby, are you comfortable in acting like my boyfriend?" I asked Bobby who was playing with grass while lying on the ground. Saara is sitting on the wet grass while munching on a sandwich. I decided to take them to a park on a sunny day to tell them that Arjun Reddy is the groom my mom fixed for me.

"What about asking Prabha?" Bobby asked and Saara nodded, agreeing to him. 

"I don't know we stopped talking," I said as I scrolled down my contacts to see his name 'psycho Prabha'.

I tapped on the contact and the call is being forwarded. I stared at the screen showing his name and the vibration of the call forwarding ring makes me anxious. The call was answered on the last ring. I put the phone on speakers so my friends could listen too.

"Hello" A feminine voice answered the call. Who could it be? That's none of my concern.

"I'm Y/n, can I talk to Prabha? " I asked her.

"He's bathing. Can you call after five minutes? I'll tell him you called. " She said and cut the call.  What is she doing in my house while he is bathing? I facepalmed myself, literally this time to ask myself such a stupid question.

All three of us are staring at my phone for three minutes, sitting in a circle while munching homemade snacks and juice. The phone lighted up and Prabha's name showed in the caller id. Everyone's eyes grew big for a moment as I slid to answer the call, this time privately cause if he denies, that will be embarrassing.

"Hello, Prabha. I'm Y/n" I said, enthusiastic as if just bringing him to agree with my plan would cancel the marriage plans with that wolf head right away.

"Hi Y/n, I'm Prabha."He mocked my accent. I rolled my eyes and I can sense him smirking, even though I cannot watch it.

"Prabha, Can I meet you now? " I asked him. He must be calling me right after coming from the shower.

"I'm busy." He said and I heard his female friend, the one who answered the phone and cut the call impolitely earlier, calling his name.

"I'm sorry Y/N, I will meet you tomorrow. " He said while his friend kept on whining at the back.

"No issues Prabha. You didn't even care to check on my after leaving me in the hostel, which anyone would do. You showed that we're nothing more than --- just leave it. Foolish of me to think of you as a friend. Bye. I can handle it myself"I spat and cut the call, throwing my phone on the soft pile of grass which Bobby made.

"Bobby! "I whined, losing my shoulders down and looking at him.

"Y/n, no one will believe. And it would be awkward with Arjun Reddy,  who is a teaching staff for both. And my father would kill me if he knows any of this. Otherwise, I would love to be your boyfriend- acting I mean. " He said, chocking on another sandwich.

"Hey!  Why I should do all of this?  Arjun Reddy is a groom chosen by my parents.  He also ended up, in some way, as an airhead who's my teacher and a pervert who took advantage of me, because we've been fixed ever since my birth,  still, that doesn't make me his possession. " I said.

"Saara, you come with me. I'm going to humiliate him bu rejecting him in front of all of my relatives. He wouldn't budge to call me in private afterwards that. "I said while smiling.

Saara seems concerned. "What if it backfired? What if he used the humiliation to insult you more on the classroom?  Y/n this is giving me bad feels you can talk to your parents in private, about how you're not interested. Arjun Reddy is a bipolar man who looks like he has a lot of history, and issues too... "She said.

Saara is never wrong. And we did dig into the very Arjun Reddy. He passed UG in distinction and is a university gold medalist. He was doing his PG in New Delhi but for some reason discontinued and joined to VP ma'am as her research scholar, but it is well known that this man could finish PhD all by himself. While eavesdropping to Sheela and her friends whose only hot topic nowadays is 'Arjun Reddy'.  We've (I and Saara)  learnt lots of rumours about him. Mind you, there's some truth in every rumour.  Sheela said that Arjun Reddy is short-tempered-which we all know by now and that he was expelled from the college because he indulged in a fight with other college students during a football match.

There are also rumours started about Arjun Reddy going after a student, but no one is suspecting me, as I'm always being insulted by him. They all talk of Sheela and Arjun Reddy and this rumour must've spread by Sheela herself. That wolf head doesn't even bother to look at her when she tried to flirt with him, but I don't know whether the WhatsApp chatting thing is true or not... But that's not for me to worry right? Who cares to whom that Arjun Reddy is talking to right?

Arjun should've come to this unknown college for a purpose because it doesn't add up. For a man from a wealthy family, a man who has zero-tolerance is here suddenly and also my fiancee. Why my parents never mentioned him or my family before if we were matched on the day I was born. Thinking about that matching thing, it is creepy.

"You're right Saara... I can simply reject him. Why pulling drama and all? " I answered, more likely to myself.

Arjun Reddy doesn't look bad. To be fair, he looks bomb. Maybe if I didn't see him here and only met him through alliance then I might be considered marrying him, only after joining a job.

But, Arjun Reddy is a bloke who took advantage of me without my consent; the first impression is too bad, and his creepy actions inside the staff room, particularly biting on my collar bone, I can only think of anything else after giving him a tight slap or two.
