AKANSHA POV:

Was all my friend's pain due to misunderstanding? I couldn't digest the information.

Even though what he did was wrong, he should speak with her to clear this misunderstanding.

I know that Kryz is still deeply in love with him. I must help them to patch up. And I will make them a couple for sure. Andrew is the perfect guy for her. No one can love her like him. He truly loves her.

" Are you willing to help me Akansha, even after hearing this? ",Andrew asked me.

"You are really a stupid man ",I started but he tried to convince me thinking that I was going to refuse to help him.

But I cut him off, "You are a dumb! You say that you love her but you hurt her. How could you? "

"I...".he started but I cut him off again," You know that you love her. You know that you made a mistake. You know that you hurt her. You know, right? ",I asked him.

"Ye...yes ", he mumbled, lowering his head.

"Then why did you leave her so easily? Why didn't you make her hear your words once? Why did you keep your distance from her?? Why did you think to forget her? Can you live without her? ",I asked him with my loud angry voice.

"No...I can't live without her ",he said firmly.

"You got your answer. Even though she is my friend, I am telling this from a third person's view that you should have forced her to listen to you. Even if she would have shouted at you, she would have thought that you are still fighting for you. But you, you just tried to speak with her only whenever you see her. You should search for her and go and speak to her. "

"Will you help me? ",he asked me with hope in his eyes.

"Of course Mr. Andrew Mark. And I am doing this for my friend!! I know that she is still in love with you!! But she hates you too. She is hurt. "

"Yeah! I know ",he said sadly. "But thanks for the help. It means a lot to me that Kryz's friend is helping me. She used to speak about you when we were.... ",he stopped reminiscing about his happy days.

"Okay, now tell me the plan. "

"We have tried a lot, but she wouldn't budge. Since you are also a stubborn girl like your friend, tell us what to do next??", Parth said mockingly.

I glared at him. That stupid psycho send a smirk seeing my reaction.

"Don't take it seriously Akansha!! Parth is like that only ",Theo said.

The words of Theodore shocked Parth and he gave him an unbelievable look.

"Are you kidding me in front of her? ",he asked shocked.

I laughed loudly and in turn he glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him mocking him.

"My idea is that I will first speak with her to know her mindset. Then according to that, we could plan. What do you guys think? "

"That will work. We can do that way ",Andrew said.

"You too have a brain. I am surprised Miss. nonstop ",Parth said in a mocking way.

"At least I have. I am hundred percent sure that you don't have that ",I shrugged.

"How dare you say that to me? ",he asked angrily.

"Well! The great example is your hand. If you had some sense, you would have not hit the wall. "

"You should control your anger, Parth ",Theodore said.

"Yeah Parth, you should control your rage ",Andrew added.

"What the hell? You are siding with her!! You guys are very good friends. I am a very lucky person to have you guys as my friends ",he said sarcastically.

They laughed it off. "Cool down young man!! We told you what's good for you ",Theodore said and Andrew ruffled his hair," Is my baby boy angry? "

Parth is lucky to have such good friends with him. They won't allow him to go down the wrong path.

"Shut up!! ",he shouted angrily.

I think I should leave so that I could speak with Krystle.

"Theodore, can you drop me home? "

Theodore looked at Andrew. Then he looked at me.

"Theo came with me. His car is at my house. So, I am going to drop him off at my house and then he will go to his home. Since it's already late, we thought to go now ",Andrew said.

"Oh!!! ",I said dejectedly.

"But don't worry, Parth will drop you. Won't you Parth? ",Andrew asked him.

"Do I have any other choice? ",he asked.

"Good boy. You understand everything well ",Andrew said and looked at Theodore.

"Shall we go? ",Theodore asked Andrew.

"Yeah sure, let's go. Good night Akansha! ",Andrew said.

"Good Night Akansha! ",Theodore added.

"Good night!! ",I said and smiled at them.

"See you buddy ",Andrew and Theo said and went towards the exit.

I looked at their retreating forms. He has very good friends. But why is he a psycho? I couldn't get it!

"We don't have all day for you to stand there like a statue! Take your things and come fast. "

How am I going to adjust with his stupid attitude? I don't know when I will strangle him to death? He has such a big, sassy mouth.

"You Miss. nonstop, stop speaking with yourself like a fool and come. I can't wait for you ",he said looking at me.

Help me god!! Help me!! I took my bag and gave him a very big smile and walked past him to the door.

We soon got in the car and he started driving.

The atmosphere within us was very awkward. So, I moved my hands to turn on the radio.

And to my bad luck, he too moved his hands to turn on the radio too.

I felt the tingles flowing through my hands. I looked at him to see him staring at me.

But our eye contact was broken by a horn sound. He then took his hand away and drove the car looking in front as if nothing had happened a few seconds before.

I pressed the button and the music filled the silence around us.

My mind rushed back to the moments in his room. It just happened out of the blue. Don't think about it! It is a very common thing to him.

He is a playboy. He sleeps with every girl he finds attractive. He and I are straight opposites. I am not the type of girl he used to sleep with. And he is not the type you look into. Just stop your stupid brain thinking that!

Fidgeting with my mind and lost in my thoughts, I felt a hand tugging me on my shoulders.

"We have reached ",he said looking at me.

"Thank you for the ride ",I said and got down from the car.

I took a step forward and then stopped. Should I ask him about it?? It is better to say than to keep it within me.

"Parth ",I called and turned to see him looking at me.

"What? ",he asked.

"I...I mean the thing that happened in the roo....",I started but he cut me off, "It was a mistake. I shouldn't have done that! And don't overthink with your stupid, dumb brain. Nothing big happened too. "

"Yeah, you are right. Nothing big happened ",I said, keeping my face neutral.

"Thank you for the ride ",I said again and went inside without hearing his reply.

What he said was right but why am I feeling hurt?? Maybe it's because he was the only one who invaded my privacy. I know it's nothing for him. I shouldn't overthink. Get your mind on track Akansha! You need to speak with Krystle too.

I rang the bell and a few seconds later, the door opened with Kryz looking at me with a smile plastered on her face.

I entered and placed my bag on the table and sat down and closed to calm myself.

"How did it go? ",Kryz asked me sitting beside me.

"It was horrible. "

Before Kryz could reply, "Even though it was horrible, I would say that he is good at studies. So that's a relief despite his character. "

"That's good to hear ",Kryz said with a smile on her face.

"Okay madam, now tell me ",I said looking at her.

"And don't tell me you are fine, the shit you told me on the phone. Tell me the truth. "

She looked at me and sighed. "I am hurt ",she mumbled, looking down.

I hugged her and she hugged me back. I could hear her sobs coming from her. And I let her cry. She shouldn't keep it inside. She should let it out.

I patted her back and mumbled soothing words in her ear.

After some time, she slowly gathered herself and looked at me and gave me a faint smile.

"Thank you. "

In return, I smacked her hand, "When did you become too formal? "

She laughed and then smiled," Okay madam! I take it back "

"So what do you think about Andrew? ",I asked slowly, seeing her reaction.

"Blank ",she murmured after a few seconds.

"I don't know what I think. But after what Jacqueline said....",she started but I cut her off , "Don't think about that bitch's words. She is a manipulative, cunning bitch. If I had known about her, I would have given the taste of hatred long before. But soon she will see my rage."

"I know....but I feel like what she said was partially true. I used to wonder why Andrew is still trying to speak with me. "

"And...What do you think? "

"I...I think that he....he is trying to get me back. " I smiled hearing her. That's good news for Andrew.

"But...",she paused.

"I think that he is trying because he hasn't slept with me. Maybe wants to have sex with me. "

What the?! How did she come up with this thought? Did she take Jacqueline's words to heart??

"Your way of thinking may be wrong too. Maybe he is madly in love with you ",I said slowly.

She looked at me and smiled faintly, "I don't think so. On that day, even after witnessing it with my own eyes, I....I asked him to speak...but he....he just kept quiet ",she said as a drop of tears fell from her eyes.

"I know what he did was wrong. Very wrong!! But, you can give him one chance to explain. It may be a misunderstanding too. Just think about it ",I said looking at her.

She just nodded her head. I hugged her," Now are you ready to eat dinner cooked by the great chef? "

She smiled, "Yes Miss. Chef, my taste bud is waiting for it. "

I made Masala Pasta for dinner and soon we ate speaking about common topics and gossip and soon we drifted to sleep with me thinking about Parth in my subconscious mind.

The next day, I took the necessities from the locker and went to my next class where Parth was sitting wearing his headphones.

I sat beside him. Noticing me, he removed his headphone, "Did you get any info about Krystle? "

I nodded my head and he raised his eyebrow asking what. Before I could reply, Mr. John had entered the class.

The time flew by and the class ended. I took my bag and turned to go but Parth called me.

I turned to look at him, asking what with my expression.

"You didn't answer my question. "

"I think it's better if I speak about it when all three of you are here. "

"Then tell me if it's good news or bad news ",he asked, more like ordered me.

"Both. "

I moved my way towards the library but he again called me.

I turned," Now what??? "

"I think you are going in the wrong way. Don't you remember my instructions to the library? ",he asked with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up!...If I ask you again for any direction, you can hit me ",I said with my frustrated voice.

He laughed at me seeing my reaction, "I am waiting for that day Miss. Nonstop "

"In your dreams ",I turned to go towards the library.

Ugh!! He is mocking me!! I don't know why I asked him the way to the library that day?

I reached the library and took a corner seat and sat down. I think it is better if I take notes for the project.

The time flew by and I reached my next class where Andrew was watching the door anxiously like looking for someone.

Seeing me, a cheerful smile came on his face making me confirm that he was waiting for me.

I smiled back thinking about how to tell him about Krystle's dilemma.
