Unfortunately the first class passed agonizingly slow and our professor Mr Steve was really a eye candy. Just kidding. He was an old professor and he did a brilliant job of scaring us about the upcoming tests and exams.
While I was wallowing in dread for the upcoming tests and exams Kaustuki was busy talking with Jignesh who had hearts in his eyes. Geez man! You have written it all over your face. I don't think Kaustuki noticed that or did she?
On the other hand, Vidhushi was taking down the notes like a good girl she was while I was doing nothing. Yes absolutely nothing except for thinking about Vidhushi's hot cousin. Did you just admit he's hot? My subconscious questioned glaring at me with her both plans resting under her chin. I sighed.
I hate to admit it but he was really hot, like really sexy with that messy midnight black hair and those muscular arms. I mean duh! Any girl would swoon.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone moaning. Turning my head around I glared at the couple standing in the corner of the hallway sucking their faces. Seriously why did they take admission here? For all this college needs is a kissing booth instead of classroom and Randhir would be the head of the class.
I groaned as I hit something hard and tumble back falling on my butt. I hate falling on my butt because let's face it, it hurts like a hell.
"Are you fine?" I hear a mild, gentle yet husky voice from ahead of me. That's when I realize I did not crash into a wall but a person. Great realization! My subconscious snorts.
I look upwards and stifle my gasp looking at the devil himself in front of me. Wasn't I just thinking about him? He's going to live a long life. I snarl at my current position. I am not even able to get up due to these heels.
"Do you mind?" I angrily forward my hand towards him. He did not even asked me to help. So much of a gentleman.
He forwarded his hand towards me. I ignore the sudden clench in my stomach due to his touch and stand on my feet. I pick my bag from the floor and glare at him.
"Can't you see a girl walking? Are you blind or something?" I question him trying not to shudder from his intense gaze on me. His lips curves in a smirk.
"My eyes are perfectly fine sweetheart" He drawls the last word. Chills race up my spine due to his husky voice. He roam his eyes over my body obviously checking me out. He was shamelessly checking me out in almost empty hallway except for that couple kissing in the corner.
"My eyes are up here p*****t" I yell giving him my best glare. He does not even try to conceal that arrogant smirk. Instead he meets my eyes.
"I was enjoying the view sweetheart"
Do not blush. Do not. I blush, my cheeks heat due to his blunt tone. I was actually sensitive about these comments, they get me blushing. Clearing my throat I look at him while he was stuffing his phone inside his jeans pocket.
"Aren't you going to apologize for crashing into me and hurting me?" I narrow my eyes at him while my arms held against the chest. I was looking quite snarky girl at the moment but who cares.
"I don't apologize to anyone" He informed like it was the most casual thing. I stare at him. Was he for real? I mean I say 'I'm sorry' for like thousands time a day. Yeah you can imagine my clumsiness.
"Wow you're quite a gentleman." I snort at him.
"Trust me sweetheart I am far from being an gentleman" He whispers.
There was something so sinister and darkness in his tone that I couldn't look away. His eyes were raw, emotionless.
I heard the beeping sound of my phone. Thankfully it distracted me. I removed my phone from the bag and groaned. I had next class in less than five minutes. How did I forgot that I was here to pick books for my next class? Kaustuki and Vidhushi must have been already sitting in the class, waiting for me.
"As much I would love to stand here and teach you some manners I don't have time. I have a class to attend" I sarcastically mumbled before walking away from him. I could feel his stare on me till I disappeared into the locker room.

I smiled closing my locker. I got the books I needed and now I can go to the class. I turned around to take my bag from the table just then I gasped crashing into a hard body. Before I could protest a arm snaked around my waist and other covered my mouth muffling my voice and pushed me against the wall of the locker room.
I glared looking at the familiar face. How dare he? My curses were muffled by his hand. He just shook his head trying to tell me that there is no use of cursing. He won't even hear it.
"How dare you walk out on me sweetheart? You're really something, you know?" He chuckled, the deep sound of his short rich laughter made my toes curl. I tried to wriggle from his grasp but his legs had me pinned and also his upper body was practically shoved against me.
"Stop wriggling. I'll remove my hand but don't scream. You don't want to get caught with a boy on the first day. Do you?" He questioned. I meekly nodded my head to which he released his palm but did not move away from me.
I breathed deeply, inhaling from my mouth. I felt like I couldn't even breath from my mouth again. It feels so nice having my mouth to myself. Okay that doesn't even make sense.
"Are you f*****g crazy? What were trying to do? Kill me?" I questioned while trying to push his chest but he did not even budge. Instead he moved more closer to me. My breath hitched in my throat as his eyes fell on my lips.
"Exact opposite actually" he whispered softly. His hot breath was fanning my face. It had been a while since I had been this close to anybody. Not since Zach. Don't even think about him.
"What...."
My question died on my lips as his lips was almost touching my lips. I wanted to lean in, give in for the temptation, the temptation to kiss that lips. Are you ready to have somebody's sloppy seconds?
Just then when his lips touched the corner of my lips I closed my eyes. Like a i***t, I let out a small moan of appreciation. He grinned while placing another kiss on my cheek. It was frustrating that he was not kissing my lips. I wanted to feel his lips against mine. I felt his body move away to which I snapped my eyes open.
"Just something to remember me" He winked at me before walking out of the locker room leaving me utterly frustrated. I stood there for entire five minutes before regaining control over my hormones.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
My subconscious was cursing me for my utter stupidity. I was late for my second class. I should have really thought that before moaning like that and staying frozen on the same place for thousand seconds.
I huff due to the vigorous running I did. Seems like I have a really bad day written for me by the fate. I glare at the smug boy who was giving me a smirk from inside of the class.
Miss Lucy, our economics professor was already teaching something. I hated to interrupt people cause they get angry.
Clearing my throat I squeaked, "Please may I come in Miss Lucy?"
The whole class's attention shifted towards me. From my view I couldn't see Kaustuki and Vidhushi. The professor glared looking at me.
"Finally you decided to show up Miss. Please come in" Her sarcasm was evident. I walked inside the classroom and stood in front of her.
"I'm sorry Miss Lucy. I promise this won't happen again" I apologized looking at her. I had never been late before. Even in high school I was always punctual. I hate being late. The concept of being late doesn't sit well with me.
"This better be your last time. Now go find a seat and settle down" She warned while pushing up her glasses with her index finger. I gave her a nod and turned around. I instantly spotted Vidhushi, Kaustuki and Jignesh in the right side corner but all the seats were occupied.
Vidhushi gave me a sad smile while shrugging her shoulder at me. I understood what she meant. She had the seat reserved but someone already took it. Life's so unfair at times.
I scanned the room hoping to find a seat away from him but there were only two seats available. One was beside him, which I don't intend to sit and the other was in between of the two people. I cannot walk there and ask them to move, it would surely disturb them and also it was really far from the place I was currently standing.
Having no option I walked towards his seat. It was at the left corner, the window seat. Without sparing him a glance I quickly settled myself on the seat and pulled out my books from the bag. I could feel his stare on me but I ignored him as Miss Lucy started to explain about our upcoming tests.
***
Forty minutes of agony came to end. Miss Lucy was out of the class not before giving me a stink eye. Looks like I am going to be under her radar for a long time. Oh joy.
"What the hell are you doing in my class?" I ask turning at him. Because of him I was late. I could never forgive him for this.
"I too study in the same class sweetheart" He informed while picking his book. He did not even had a bag like me. Only his one book.
"Don't call me that" I glared at him. He was calling me endearments which I don't like. Not since my nasty break up. Though Zach never called me sweetheart. It was always Babycakes, sugar, dollface and all. Yeah imagine my relationship. Real cringer.
"What sweetheart? I didn't quite catch that" He smirked while giving me a innocent look. He was testing me and I know that very well. He was irking me.
"You're infuriating" I mumble while shoving my books into the bag.
"Aw thanks for the compliment" He grinned. Before I could make a smart remark his phone rang. He looked at the Id and sighed.
"I have to take this. I'll see you later sweetheart" He leaned and pecked my cheek. Before I could protest he was out of the room leaving me shell shocked. Again.
I heard footsteps from behind me, I turned around only to find Vidhushi, Kaustuki and Jiggy giving me the strange look. Oh I am so screwed!
