HER

CHAPTER-6

RISHIKA'S POV

"I woke up late and thanks " I replied to her and thanked the guys for standing up for me .
I stare at the fallen bowl and food . While crossing the table from where I am sitting, a guy walked over food crashing it below his feets.
And there Indian inside me kicked in  I stood up collecting some tissues from my bag.

"No problem" the Joe guy said
"Are you going somewhere?" Samantha asked looking at me .
I nod my head towards the fallen food .
I bent down and collect the food with the help of tissues and throw it in dustbin. I wash my hands . And went back to the table and sits back on previous spot.

"What was that?"
"You need not to do that " two guys said, whose name I don't know yet .
"Actually it's in my culture we consider food as God so we don't disrespect food and people were stepping on it" I explained to them .

"That's quite rich" sam said
"I will keep that in my mind from know on" she added
I smile at her.
"Anyways you wanted to introduce your friends to me "I said trying to shift the topic.
"Yeah thanks for reminder" she said beaming
"This is Joe my boyfriend " she said pointing at Joe
How ironic

Joe's forwards his hand . I shook it .
"Hi Joe once again thanks for earlier" I said
"I said no problem now that we are all friends there would be lots of moments like this in future " Joe said with a friendly smile
I smile back at him .
"This is kris" she said
A guy who was sitting beside Joe forward his Hand
"Hey I am Kris"  Kris said kissing the back of my hand . Eww clingy
I scrunched my nose and took my hand back.
"Hey nice meeting you " I said
"This is Xander " Sam said
A guy who was before engrosed in his phone forwards his hand .
"Hello nice meeting you " he said getting back to his phone.
"Hi" I replied back

"And last you already know him Ashton"
She said
Ashton doesn't forward his hand he seems too interested in his book.
So this time I forwarded my hand . But this guy just ignored it without even glancing up .
Xander nudges him that's when he looks at my hand .
"Hey Ashton last time you ran away so let's introduce our self property this time ". I said in my not so extra sweet voice, mocking him.
He doesn't  say anything just made the most annoyed faced and took my hand shaken it a little and back to book.
"Nevermind he is like this only". Sam said

"Joe can you please bring R a new rice bowl" Sam said to Joe
He nods as he was about to get up but I stopped him
"No Joe there's no need for that.  I was already full so dont" I said to Joe
"What nonsense.  I know her voice does makes people sick but that doesn't mean you won't eat food. Joe let's go I will join you" Kris said standing up himself. I stop him as well.
"Umm o-" I get cut off when my phone rang. I pick up my phone answering the call.
"Ms Rajvanshi your request to meet Dean has been approved you can meet him now"  the caller said who a assume to be receptionist.(p.s I gave her my personal no so that I can contact her whenever needed)

"Okay I am coming" I said hanging up the call after .
After hanging up the phone when I looked up 4 curious eyes were looking at me .
And now that I thinking wouldn't it be rude of me to walk over them once again. They are just trying to be my friends.  Something I always craved for . But the mess I am in will do them dirty as well I shouldn't be selfish and leave them alone .

But what if I have always been a selfish person.
I smile at them .
"Guys are you all free tonight?" I asked them with this new found determination to final make friends.

All four of them nod their heads with confusion look .
"How about drinks tonight?  It would be on me". I asked them
"Yeah" they cheered in union followed by an annoyed grunt.
We all turned towards from were the grunt came from and yeah we don't have to guess it . It's MR GRUMPY PANTS only.
"Don't be a party popper Ash we are all going and that's final " Joe said putting his hand on Ashton's shoulder .
