34. People Like Me Have Brains

*Unedited*

"You know I would love to, but people like me have a brain" I responded

DHRUV: "What brain?" he said pushing me.

He kept pushing me back but I knew he provoking me, I'm not gonna give him the one thing he wants the most

That was until I heard Cabir walking toward us.

CABIR: "You know, Manik can't punch you..but I can!" he said, and with that being said he gave him a punch which made him fall

Alya leaned over to him and helped him up.

CABIR: "You need to know one thing, don't you dare touch my mates ever again!"

Do you now see why I love this guy?!

We all walked away before a teacher would come.

"Thank you, you have no idea how much I wanted to punch him," I said to Cabir

CABIR: "Yeah I know, I got you, bro," he said throwing his arm over my shoulder

CABIR: "And I know what he said to Nandini, Mukti told me . I would also be pissed if he talked to my girlfriend like that so he deserved it, "he said

"Yeah, I agree.No girl ever deserves to be assaulted or threatened!" I replied

We walked together to class. We all had a class together.Cabir,Navya,Aryamaan,Nandini and myself

TEACHER: "Oh I see that you are also joining us, please be on time next time. Now take a seat," she said seeing us standing at the door

We nodded and took a seat in front of Nandini.

I turned around and looked at Nandini,

"I'm glad I'm back," I said she smiled and shook her head

TEACHER: "I know that your girl is sitting behind you, but you need to keep your eyes on me for the next hour. I know that's difficult though," she said probably because she saw me talking to her

NANDINI: "Oh we're not.." she said in defense

I turned back to Nandini and saw that she was as red as a tomato. I just laughed at how embarrassed she was. It wasn't an insult to be called her boyfriend, it was a dream

NANDINI POV

Our class was over.

MANIK: "Well, what do you wanna do tonight babe," he said swaying his arm around my neck

"Sleeping" I responded throwing his arm off me.

I was embarrassed when the teacher thought that Manik and I were together. And she said it in front of the class. Everybody turned in our direction and Manik enjoyed it, I could see it in his face

MANIK: "You know, I have a better idea," he said winking at me when I turned to him

"Why?"

MANIK: "Why what?" he asked

"Why are you still annoying me while we're supposed to be friends?" I asked

I really wanted to know why I was the only one he annoyed this much

MANIK: "Because annoying you makes my day, and secretly yours too" he replied

Why would I like it? Who the hell would like it to get annoyed by him...Oh, wait every freaking girl in this school except me.

MANIK: "You love the attention," he said and turned around to his friend who was waiting for him

MANIK: "I love you babe" he shouted and of course, everyone stared at me.

Great move, awesome, as I wasn't embarrassed enough...ThankGod I'm Manik free for the next few hours. What does he mean by 'you love attention though

I don't love him being all around me whilst he can have any girl he wants...Or maybe I do?

NAVYA: "C'mon or we'll be late," he said pulling me out of my thoughts

...

This day has been going on for too long. I'll be happy when I can finally throw my feet up when I arrive home. I took the same route home as when Harshad followed me the other day. I promised myself to not be scared of him anymore.

I can't be, I need to be stronger than him . Mentally obviously, physically he's way stronger than me. I was walking in a quiet slean neighborhood, I already passed the spot where Harshad grabbed my arm soI wasn't that worried anymore, well that's what I thought

As I was walking within deep thoughts, someone grabbed my shoulder. Out of relaxation, I jumped forward so he wouldn't be touching me anymore. I was sure that it was Harshad again, so I didn't bother to turn around. I didn't want to see his face.

"Harshad, leave me alone for God's sake. Why are you following me again?" I said still walking not bothering to look behind me.
