Note: Tsundere is a Japanese term for a character development process that depicts a character with a personality who is initially polarized warm/soft, cold, temperamental, hotheaded before gradually showing a warmer, friendlier side over time.

I parked my car in the student car lot and switched off the engine while Lily and Zinnia got off the car. We three walked together to the main building of our St. Peter's college, one of the best in New Zealand, talking about random things, especially about how tiring our weekend homework was.

Me and Lily were on good terms after that small scene at home. Fighting, yelling at each other, being on good terms later, this was something wonted between us. 

While we were about to enter the building, someone called Lily from behind. We three turned around to see Andrew, Lily's boyfriend, hopping on his feet and walking towards us. While Lily's face went bright with her ear to ear grin, my face showed the contrast. And Zinnia was busy ogling at the cheer girls, who had their tight white outfits sticking onto their slim bodies because of sweat as they had just finished practice and were on their way to the washroom. 

"Hey, babe", said Andrew, leaning towards Lily to peck her lips. Lily's face blushed like a ripe tomato to the name he called her and also because of the kiss. 

Enough with the blushing already! It's been three months since this dude is kissing you here and there. 

"Hi, baby. How are you?" asked Lily by putting a strand of loose hair behind her ear. 

"I'm fine and hey, I'm sorry about keeping you waiting at Jake's party. I had to do some urgent errands for my roommate."

Keeping you waiting? Did you mean stood you up? You should probably use that phrase as it's the accurate one. And you could have called and that's why humans use that device. Duh!

"Oh, it's fine. It isn't a big deal", said Lily.

Yeah, it isn't a big deal because you are used to it and besotted with him.

"Really? You sure?", asked Andrew even though he already knew the answer.

Dude, just put off the fucking drama.

"Yeah, Drew. It's totally fine. You said you were busy and that's why you couldn't show up, right? It's fine," Lily reassured him with a lie.

"I can make it up to you baby. I just got busy all of a sudden that night." 

"Then you could have just called and said that you were busy so she wouldn't be expecting you, right? I mean, that's why you carry a cellphone," I said out of nowhere as I was done talking to myself and also with Andrew's fucking drama. 

Hearing my voice, Zinnia's attention diverted from the hot cheer girls to me and the couple. She slowly stepped closer to me and nudged my arm. I couldn't care less about Zinnia as I was waiting for an answer, more like a lie to roll off from Andrew's tongue.

"Uhmm..yeah, you are right. You know I was just bustling with my errands," said Andrew, giggling.

"Yeah, ok. If that's what you say," I said, crossing my arms across my chest and looked at Zinnia. 

Zinnia was giving me that 'not again you bitch' look. I rolled my eyes at her.  

"Ok, baby, how about you buy me my favorite milkshake after college to make it upto me?" asked Lily, trying her best to lighten the awkward aura around us. 

"Yeah. Sure, babe. I gotta go. I will see you soon. Bye," said Andrew, giving her a hug and a peck on her cheeks. 

Before leaving, he smiled at Zinnia and me. He didn't wait for us to return the smile and walked away.

"Why the fudge did you do that?" asked Lily, looking at me after Andrew's figure disappeared from our sight.

"I was just asking him a rational question," I said as a matter of fact. 

"Yeah, you did. And that actually pissed him off," Lily said with both her hands on hips.

"No. It didn't. If it did, then he would have just walked away or came at me but instead your boyfriend promised to take you out. He's such a sweetheart," I clasped hands and smiled diplomatically at her.

Lily was looking at me with an emotionless face whilst Zinnia was trying her ass off to not guffaw. 

"Alright, not again. You already had a morning session, right? Save some energy so that we can do this later," said Zinnia, getting in the middle of us, linking both her arms with each of ours and dragging us to the building.

We three were doing different courses. I was doing Journalism while Lily and Zinnia were doing English Literature and Psychology respectively. I always wanted to be in the field of communication and to be a PRO. Lily was always good at writing. So she decided to pursue her career as a writer. I really didn't know why Zinnia opted for psychology as she had never mentioned it before. I guess it was just out of curiosity.

We stood by our lockers, looking at our respective timetables and taking out the books. Lily was still a bit annoyed at me as she smiled at Zinnia but put on a long face when she looked at me. I just brushed it off as I knew this long face and silence between us wouldn't last for long.

When the bell rang, we bid goodbyes and went to our respective classes. 

I went to my class and saw my friend Amy already seated. Next to her was her boyfriend Ash, the head of the soccer team. They started dating just two weeks ago and ever since that, Ash had been bunking his soccer practices, despite his coach yelling the shit out of him whenever he saw Ash. Both were talking and smiling with their hands interlocked. They were so in their own world that they didn't notice my presence when I was standing right next to Ash until I coughed, catching the love bird's attention. 

"Hey, Elka," said Amy, waving at me.

"Hi, there. How are you doing?" asked Ash.

"Hi. I'm fine and the classes are about to start and you are sitting on my place Ash," I said, smiling.

"Oops." Ash stood up. "Sorry, didn't notice it."

"Yeah because you were so immersed with talking to her that everything around you goes unnoticed," I said in the best dramatic way possible with my hands up in the air.

"Yeah, it's true. When I'm with this girl, everything just becomes blank for me except her because of the beauty she carries," said Ash, winking at Amy to which she laughed shyly.

She was a shy girl who made the college hottie's heart flutter. Ironic, right?

"Eww! That's so fucking cheesy. And I really don't have any intentions of ruining my day listening to stuff like that so just get out." I pointed  towards the exit door of my class.

"It's because you are single, Elka. Wait and watch. You will be the cheesiest and clingy girlfriend than anyone in this whole fucking planet of Mother Earth."

"Oh! Keep your passive aggressive behavior to yourself boy." 

"I'm not being passive aggressive. I'm saying this because I know you. You may be a cold person outside but something in you tells me that deep inside you are a sweetheart," said Ash, showing off his iconic smile.

"Yeah, that's absolutely correct, Ash. She is a sweetheart," said Amy, supporting her boyfriend.

I let out a sigh. 

"I may be a sweetheart but you know what this sweetheart can do if she sees someone is trying to get on her last nerves, right?" I asked him challengingly.

"Of course! The whole of St.Peter's knows that you're a devilish sweetheart," Ash said. "Oh Elka, I almost forgot to tell you this. I heard a new admission is coming. And I heard on grapevine that he's fucking hot."

"You seem interested in him already! Any plans of dumping my friend for that hottie, Ash?" I asked him jeeringly to which Amy started to laugh while Ash shook his head in defeat. 

"The fuck? I was trying to match you an- nevermind! But Elka, mark my words. You're gonna be the most romantic girl ever! The cheesiest and clingy one ever!"

I rolled my eyes. "That's enough of your junky challenge, Ash. Now, get out!"

"Ok, fine!" Ash turned around and looked at Amy.

"Bye, love." Ash bent down and kissed on her cheek. "And bye, Ms. Tsundere," said Ash, looking at me.

"What in the world is that word?" I asked in disbelief. 

"Google it. You are a fucking tsundere. I know it," said Ash before taking his leave.

I looked at Amy who was smiling at me. 

"Ok. I want the meaning right now, Amy Charlotte."

"Yeah, first sit. I'll tell you what Tsundere is, Ms. Tsundere. And I'm also waiting for that new guy's arrival. My mind says I'm going to witness some magic."

"Magic, my ass!"
