Akansha POV:

I tried to move away from him. I guess he too would have registered that it was me who he was holding because he jerked me away from him.

How rude?!

'He is behaving as if I was dying to be in arms.' Note the sarcasm in it!

When I turned to go away, he caught my hand, "Are you working here?" 

I guess he noticed my uniform just now.

"Yes, I am", I said and walked away. 

He took the corner seat of the restaurant. I went to Sophia and asked her to serve him. She accepted my request and went to him. In the meantime, I was serving the other customers.

Sophia then came to me, "Can you go to him and ask his order?"

 "What? Why?"  

"He said that he will only tell the order to you. I couldn't refuse... so can you?", she asked me with hope.

What is he trying to do? I guess he is making an evil plan. Maybe he is planning to mock me. If you can make a plan, then I can make a plan for myself too. Yeah! I will act as if I don't know him. He will try to instigate me, but I will ignore him.

"Akansha", Sophia called me.

"Be careful with him. He seems like a total flirt with too much attitude. So, beware of him", she warned.

"I know Sophia. He goes in my college. I know it. I saw it with my own eyes too. Don't worry, I can manage", I said and walked towards that psycho.

He was busy on his phone. Maybe he is flirting with someone on his phone. Ugh! What are you thinking? It's none of my business. He can do whatever he wishes, but why am I getting irritated when thinking about it? No..no..no thinking.

"What do you like to order, sir?", I asked him professionally. 

He lifted his head from his phone and scrutinized me from top to bottom. Is he checking me? Bloody idiot! Cool ..cool.. Don't lose your cool.

"What do you like to have sir?", I repeated my question with a fake smile. 

"Miss. Nonstop, I don't remember your name. What's your name?", he asked. Oh seriously! You don't even know my name? Then let it be that way.

"Sorry sir, that information cannot be revealed to strangers", I said politely. 

"Strangers?.. I see", he replied in a cold tone.

"I would like to have filter coffee with little sugar and a Black Forest Pastry cake."

"Okay sir. Do you want anything else, sir?"

"No. That's all", he replied curtly.

Soon I placed his order on his table and went to take care of other customers.

Was I a little harsh with him? No..no this way he won't bother me. Yeah, don't overthink Akansha.

After finishing his food, he kept the money for the food on the table and walked away. Soon my working time got over. I then changed my dress in the room and said bye to Sophia and walked my way home.

I felt like someone was watching me. So, I turned back to check if anyone was following me. But no one was there.

Strange.

I walked a little fast and reached home and let out a deep breath. I guess I am overthinking a lot today. I calmed myself down and went inside.

Parth POV:

What are you doing, Parth? This is not you! You don't stalk anyone. But what are you doing now? You just stalked her. Ugh!

She first annoyed me a lot by sitting in my place. If it was not John's class, I would have walked away or pushed her down. She talks a lot, a lot! When I purposefully ignored her, she thought I was a mute. God! And she called me as Red shirt too, stupid girl.

But she was the only one who found that I was having a stupid headache today. She is something. I couldn't point out her character. She is very, very different from the girls I have come across in my life.

When she was in my arms, her innocence attracted me. I couldn't express what I felt there. It was very foreign to me. She is working as a waitress? But why?.. Whatever! I don't fucking care about her.

'Then why were you stalking her?', my subconscious mind made fun of me. Well! This will be the first and the last day. I will keep my distance away from her. She is dangerous. Yes. I will stay away from her.

And then I drove my car to my house. Soon I reached my house and noticed Andrew and Theodore there. "What's up guys?", I asked.

"Parth! I need help", Andy said. Help? It's so strange of him to ask me to help him. 

"What happened to him?", I asked Theo but he just shrugged it off.

The typical answer from Theodore. For your information, I would tell you that Theodore doesn't speak much. He is a computer genius. He rarely speaks but is a very smart boy. The funny thing is that he has a girlfriend who is studying abroad. I guess she fell for his intelligence.

"I need a favor from you man", Andy asked me again. 

"What's the matter?" 

"You need to speak to Akansha for me."

"Akansha? Who is that chick?" 

Both Andy and Theodore gave me an unbelievable look. 

"Why? Did I say anything wrong?"

 "She was the girl whom you dragged to our hall and introduced her as our new teammate."

"Oh! So Miss. Nonstop's name is Akansha", I said more to myself digesting the new information about her. 

"Wait.. What? Why should I speak with her?", I asked him when I realized what he had said to me.

"You know about my relationship with Krystle right?" 

"Yeah. You were head over heels for her like Theo with his girlfriend."

 "Yup! I guess you remember my breakup too, then?"

"Yeah. She thought you cheated her. But the truth is that you didn't. It was a misunderstanding. She avoided you as much as possible and was deaf ears to whatever you had said. But where does Miss. Nonstop... I mean Akansha comes here?"

"Well! She is Krystle's best friend." 

I made up my mind to stay away from her but she comes again to my mind. Argh! No.. no.. I can't let it happen. She is dangerous.

"Sorry man. I hate her. She just irritates me all the time."

"Akansha is my only hope to speak with Krystle. Akansha will not speak with me but you can. Please man", he begged. 

"Parth! Just help him, then you can do anything after that", Theo said.

"If you say so, why can't you just go and speak to her yourself?", I said to Theo. 

"You know I don't speak much."

"Please man", Andrew begged again.

"Okay fine. I will try to speak to her." 

Andrew gave me a big hug, "Thank you. Thank you so muchhh".

Theodore smiled at me.

I notice the wicked looks between them. What are these weird heads thinking about?

"What's that look?"

"Um-- nothing", Theo said, stopping Andy from saying anything.

Weird.

But soon, they will blurt it out. 

The things I do for my friends! Ugh. She will surely give me an attitude but I must ignore it and speak to her. I can't believe that I agreed to him.

The next day came. I went early to Mr. John's class to speak with her. I took my seat on the first bench and waited for her. Like I guessed, she came early to find a seat away from me. She noticed me and was shocked.

Well, an expected reaction.

I smirked and stood from my place and walked towards her. Her reaction was funny to see. I went near her and held her hand but she resisted. 

An expected reaction.

"Hey you, leave my hand", she commanded. 

Expected. 

But I started to drag her to my bench and made her sit next to me and left her hand. She was dumbfounded.

Expected.

She tried to get up but I held her hand from getting up. 

"Are you a psycho? You yourself told me not to sit in your place. But now you are making me sit here. Have you gone mad?", she kept on shouting like the nonstop person she is. 

Feeling irritated with her nonstop talks or maybe insults, I covered her mouth with my hand.

"Miss. Nonstop. Just keep your stupid mouth shut and sit here."

The students entered and occupied all the places. She, having no choice, sat beside me with a sulky face. Mr. John soon came and gave us a simple work to do. I completed it soon and decided to speak with her as it was a good timing.

"Miss. Nonstop", I called her. 

But she ignored me. Oh, now she is trying to do the same thing I did. Stupid girl...

"If you don't respond to me now, I will kiss you in front of everyone", I said with an evil smirk.

I guess she was shocked to hear me. Because she turned her head at a jet speed with her mouth hanging open and eyes bulged out. It felt amusing to see her reaction. I guess it won't be as irritating as I had thought. It's fun.

Akansha POV:

Is he for real? Like seriously? Who in the right sense will blackmail like this? 

"If you are done with your comical reaction, can I speak with you?", he asked with a stupid smirk on his face. 

"What do you want?", I asked with an irritated expression.

"Well! I want to tell yo....", he started but was interrupted by the bell. Soon everyone started to leave. I guess he is waiting for everyone to leave so that he could speak with me privately.

No...no I don't want to be with him alone. I will leave with these students, 'yeah, right decision Akansha!' I encouraged myself and took my bag to leave but to my bad luck, I guess he noticed me trying to leave because he caught my hand not allowing me to leave.

Soon everyone left. He then left my hand and went near the door and locked it. God! What is he trying to do? Please save me from this psycho. 

I made myself strong, "Why did you lock the door?"

In return, he smirked. 

"Are you afraid Miss. nonstop?"

Am I afraid? Of him? Never!

"I am not at all afraid of you. Why should I be?", I said boldly.

He smirked evilly and started walking towards me. Why is he coming near? I started walking back, but soon hit the wall. Why can't this wall move further?

He stopped walking when there was a very little space between us. If I move a little, my body will be touching him!

Oh god! What's happening to me? My heart is out of control. I couldn't breathe properly. I feel like I am in a trance. He came closer. I shut my eyes tightly. 

"Don't worry Miss. Nonstop. You are not my type. So chill. And I don't force anyone. They all come to me willingly. So relax", he said with his breath fanning near my ears.

Those words brought me back to the world. Seeing the closeness between us, I pushed him back with full force. I guess he was caught off guard because he stumbled back.

God! What was I thinking a few seconds before? No wonder that all girls fall for him, but he is an handsome man with a very, very dark soul and I cannot have any stupid feelings for him. If it happens, I will be heartbroken only! So Akansha, stop your stupid antics and feelings of him.

"What do you want to say?"

"And tell me fast because I need to attend my next class", I waited for his reply.

"I know that next period is free because it's a library." 

How did he know that I have a library next?

"Are you stalking me? How do you know my timetable? You ar...", I started but he interrupted me by keeping his hand in my mouth, "Miss. nonstop, I know you speak a lot but try to control it".

I tried to move his hand but he had a tight grip. "And let me tell you very clearly that I am not stalking you. Since you are in my sports team, I know that we have a library now and tomorrow we have sports at this time."

Oh! You started to over think again Akansha. Why didn't you think that way? Ugh! And why is he always invading your private space? Can't he just move a little back? 

'Do you really want him to move back?' my inner voice mocked me. 

Yes! I want him to be far, far away from me.

"And if you understood what I said just now, respond to me, dumb head." 

Oh my god! Is he insane? Yup. Definitely a psycho! I showed his hand which was in my mouth. Realization hit him and he slowly removed his hand and moved back.

"Can you tell me what you need?", I asked him for the umpteenth time. 

"Well, I need you to speak with Andrew".

 Andrew? That cheater!

"Why should I speak with him? Am I his next target? If so, then tell him clearly that I won't even spare a single glance at him", I said angrily.

"Are you done?" 

"Yes, I am done", I said and then went towards the door. 

"Hey! Wait."

I turned towards him in irritation. "Now what?"

"I need to say something." 

"Then say", I said sternly.

"Andrew...", he started but I interrupted him, "I don't want to hear anything about him. He is such a ch..."

"Just listen and then decide whatever bullshit you want to believe", he shouted angrily. 

His intimidating face scared me. Oh god! Is this the monster side of him? I guess his psycho side was better.

"Andrew loves Krystle very, very much. He is madly in love with her. Whatever happened between them was all a misunderstanding. And your stupid friend can't even give him one chance to listen to his side of thoughts. If she had heard him, she would not have been distressed and my friend would have been happy", he said sternly looking at my eyes with a deep penetrating gaze.

"Bu.....but he see.. seems happy." 

"Really? Maybe he was happy when speaking with you because he thought you would help him to speak with your friend. Even though he tries to smile, deep inside he is hurt just like your friend."

Misunderstanding? Is Andrew hurt too? If that's the case, then I must make Krystle speak with Andrew because deep down, Krystle is still in love with Andrew. But what if Parth said was not true?

"So, are you ready to speak with Andrew and listen to him? After hearing his side of thoughts, you can decide what to do yourself."

I guess I will hear him out and then decide.

"Fine. I will listen to him. But if I feel like not helping him, I won't", I said sternly. 

"Okay", he agreed.

I nodded my head in agreement with him and opened the door and walked out. Even though he is a psycho, he protects and takes care of his friend. I guess that he is a very good friend. Whatever! Who cares what he is?

Shit. I don't know the way to the library. What will I do now???

'Ask Parth?', my inner voice said. 

Well, I don't have any other choice.

I turned back and hit my head on a wall. 

"See where you're going, Miss. Nonstop", the wall said. No.. No.. not again, but it was him again. Argh!

"I am sorry", I apologized. 

He just shrugged and moved. But I blocked his way.

"What?", he asked with his eyebrows raised. 

"Can you show me the way to the library?", I asked him politely. 

"I guess I can, if you ask me respectfully."

God! Psycho's attitude is too, tooo much. 

"Can you show me the way to the library...please?", I asked, gritting my teeth.

He smirked. "Sure babe", and told me the way to the library.

I listened to him keenly and memorized the way to the library which was a very, very big task!

"Why is the library situated far away?", I whined. 

"Well, go and ask the principal yourself", he said and walked in the opposite direction of where I needed to go.

'Well, go and ask the principal yourself' I mimicked him. Idiot! After a very, very long tiring walk, I saw the library. Thank goodness I reached the library.

I entered my name in the book and went inside to see Krystle reading something in the corner. I walked towards her. Seeing me, she smiled and asked me to sit, "Where were you till now?"

I am sorry. I can't tell you about that psycho now. But I promise you that I will tell you later for sure.

"I was just admiring the surroundings." 

She nodded her head looking at me strangely. 

"By the way, how are you walking daily to the library from the classes? It really drained my whole energy", I huffed.

"What? We should be lucky that the library is very near to our classes". 

"What? Short??? I literally walked for 15 to 20 minutes to reach here", I said and explained the routes of how I had come.

Hearing me, she started laughing loudly. The librarian came and asked her to keep quiet and she nodded her head.

"You are such a silly girl Kanz! If you had walked the opposite direction from the class for 2 to 3 minutes, you would have reached the library. But...but you walked the whole campus and took the longest route possible to reach here", she said laughing silently.

What? Did he really trick me?? That psycho!!!!!

I fumed with my stupidity of asking him the way to the library. I am going to kill him the next time I see him.
