The Love Maze

Chapter 12

Vivan's POV:

"You're interested?",a girl questioned, shaking me from my thoughts

The poster on the notice board was quite the catch.I stared at it for one last time as I turned to the girl with a smile.

"Sorry.....I'm on the artsy side",I replied, flaunting the brushes in my hand.

"Well,you can always try another passion",she said playfully

"Are you behind this campaign?",I chuckled

Aviation Aura-an introductory program for aspiring pilots.

"No,but let's say I get a good profit",she grinned, walking away

Maybe she would,if tries sticking it anywhere else beside a business school .

Laughing about the encounter,I strolled through the college courtyard.

Groups and group of students chattering endlessly....

Except a group where the noise wasn't any chatter but the sign of trouble.

Aakash Thakkur-with his gang of friends rounded up a fresher, demanding a favour from him.

I couldn't see through their motive.They aren't threats to anybody as far as I understand.

But being on their bad side is another story

They weren't the set of seniors who take pride in asserting dominance.

Giving the worst of all to anybody who gave them a hard time is more of their thing.

We managed to work on an unsaid pact: Staying on our own line

Personally,I view them as students trying egoistic shit to look cool rather than intimidating seniors.

As I neared the classroom,a loud laughter echoed through.

A smile spread across my face knowing who it belongs to

"Everyone alright?I heard a thunder rumbling",I teased,entering the classroom.

Her gaze pierced through me as the result.

"Yeah...we were talking about the trip",Rishi chuckled

"You know the last time-she didn't know how to swim!!!!But put up a show of being a master at it",he burst into laughter again.

How could I forget?

She made me listen to her 3 hour long list of reasons for what made her do it and why it was wrong for everyone to laugh at her.

"You guys!!!!That was last year",she scorned

"I remember....I came running down only to see people wonder why she is drowning?",I joined in laughing

"Right....Vivan was like 'Somebody help!!!Why y'all gossiping right now?",Rishi added to our laughter

"I hate you both!!! I'm always the victim of all the jokes you make!!!",she said

After that incident,she was determination to excel in swimming,to remove what made her weak.

"Always is certainly an exaggeration",Rishi objected but shut up immediately as he saw Aditi grabbing her water bottle

"Adi!!-I'm sor-sorry!!!",he screamed

"Ab bol!!",she chased him,as they ran around me

Will they ever change?

"Please!!! That's a steel bottle.My girls would be heartbroken if anything happens to my gorgeous face....",he pleaded in a playful manner

Girls??-Can't get started on that one when he mentions gorgeous face
