THE JERK

As I stormed out of the store, there was only one thought in my mind “why did zehaan say that about Akshay? He doesn’t know about the relationship me and Akshay share. So judgemental” *scowl*

So let me tell you how I met akshay, in our class a few seniors came and asked us to volunteer for the cultural event management. I was damn exited I never had such an opportunity in my school days. So I raised my hand first it was Akshay who noticed me and used my name as an example like” be like her she is not shy , do not shy away it’s a great opportunity to learn and grow as a student”.

I flushed red but still felt what a good looking senior , he was tall , had his formal shirt folded , even though he looked a little tried with his brown hair messy. That just made him more interesting , OMG he even praised me he looks kind and amiable.

Later when we had the committee meeting one of the female senior was bullying a guy of my class. Obviously it was outrageous how dare she, this was one of the reasons zehaan hated coming to such event management and backstage help. Plus it’s also a fact he does not have time.

I stood up for him. I warned the senior to mind their business and threatened to call the principal. they somehow gave in but that’s not the main point it was after this incident that Akshay came to me and said” do you realise you have made some enemies in the campus and they are you seniors”

I nodded and said “I freaking don’t care it was their fault anyway”

He smiled and nodded” you are reckless and fearless, but I kind of like that part of you”

I immediately blushed, that was the beginning of the story, now it feels like a sweet melody and the only thing I can think of the feel of his lips on mine yesterday. When someone kisses you it means you’re dating right? It means that the other person likes you. Right?

But that zehaan how could he say that this senior who is so kind and affectionate is playing around with me!!.

Ok not one thought but yah whatever, I wanna believe him coz he won’t joke about anyone like that. But right now I have to focus on something big that’s coming up. THE CULTURALS! Yes tomorrow is “TARANG 2020” one of the biggest fest in IIM-B!

I’m more excited coz I’m part of the decorations team( as they don’t give you main work coz you are a newbie).We have made posters, where I can use my artistry skills(not to brag but I’m kind of good *dabs* ) We have everything according to the plan, all the lightings are already set up, we just have few more things to do until THE DAY!

I’m really excited about this coz this is where I met Akshay, and made a few more friends (as well as enemies**smirk**). During one of the club meetings where we met, He is part of the heritage club. The club meeting usually have both years together, and Akshay was really sweet when I asked him about something, and that’s also where it all started.

As I reach my dorm, I get dressed up for college, coz we have a lot to do. We soon do our final touches, we hanged the posters, the pool is filled with rose petals and we have added some floating candles (it looks breath-taking!),the flyers are done, streamers, props, everything is ready!

I was hoping to run into zehaan and Akshay but both haven’t caught my sight, maybe I was too busy, actually everyone is busy!

The passed in a blink of an eye, and finally it’s THE DAY! I get into my comfy jeans and a fancy top coz I wanna be comfortable today, I don’t wanna stress myself with an outfit that makes me uncomfortable and less productive. Anyways as I go out, I can see how beautiful the campus looks!!

The lights that shout TARANG 2020 are brighter, the flyers are adding pop to the place, the lights on the trees are glowing, the pool just looks perfect place for couples to take one of their “couple photography”, as I pass through the pool, I look at the couples holding the candles and posing for the pictures, I imagine myself with akshay, where he is clinging my hair behind my ear, and that’s when I feel a hand on my shoulder, its Zehaan.

I jump in excitement and ask him “where have you been all this time?” He seems a little sad, looks at me and says “where is your guy all this time?” “Do you know?” I blush and say “I was searching him too, I was hoping to run into him.” He looks at me and says “I saw him kissing another girl just couple minutes back.” I move a step back, my hearts racing, I don’t know what to say, I look a him with distrust. Nah. It ain’t true. He’s saying random shit cause he’s jealous. But why does his face look so real? Is it true?
