ĆĄMBÎÓ

☆CHAPTER~2☆

His friends start laughing loudly hearing this while the underwear guy, I really need to stop calling him that, turns to me looking bewildered and embarassed  with anger visible in his eyes. 

"What? I already told you to lean forward but you refused and you all,  what is there to laugh in this ? Do you guys don't wear underwear?" I ask turning towards his friends sternly and that shuts them up pretty quick. Priya immediately comes there with a pink face and starts dragging me away , apologizing to them while Armaan follows us trying so hard to not crack up that his face has turned red.

"What the hell was that?" Priya questions me sounding dumbfounded and slightly angry after we move a fair distance away from our previous spot.

"What? I just wanted to help him. What if he goes out like that and everyone makes fun of him?" I question back innocently. Though my actions were genuine I don't understand why she is angry.

"Rajshree they are our seniors." She whisper-yells.

"So?" I mean I didn't harm or disrespect them as far as I know. I just wanted to help him. She shakes her head at me sighing and muttering something along the lines like you will never change and shifts to another subject.

Ok now her mood swings are going to give me a whiplash. I mean dude she was all happy and blushy like 10 minutes ago ,then she was embarrassed and angry like literally before 10 seconds and now she is all normal again. I will ask her to teach me the trick to do that later or may be it's just because Aunt flu decided to pay her a visit ,oooohhhh or or or or orrrrr she could be pregnant. Not like she is though I mean I hope she is not because if she is and Iam not the first one to know about it then Iam going to kill her as soon as the baby is born and then I'll adopt the baby and we will live happily ever after. But Priya's kids would look cute though....awwww....I can't wait to see them. Iam pulled out of my thoughts by a violent shove by Priya who is now looking at me concerned and even Armaan is looking a bit worried..... ookkkkaaaayyya..... now why are they looking at me like that again?

"Are you okay? I have been calling you since 5 minutes." Priya asks me. OH.....Stupid me, always zoning out but if she gets to know what all I was thinking about then she won't hesitate to slay me.

"Yeah, Iam fine. Just spaced out. Sorry" I say coughing nervously and she nods giving me a small smile and resuming her conversation with Armaan.

"Anyways did you know that Mr.Reddy is getting married this week. I pity the bride, poor woman would have to bear his glaring and grumbling self for her whole life." she says. Mr.Reddy is our  vice-principle mostly known among the students as Mr.Growl owing to him always growling and glaring angrily at everything and everyone in his line of sight.

"Isn't he already married though ?" I ask confused.

"Well yeah, but apparently she left him last month so he is marrying again".she snorted.

"What is it? His fourth time getting married?" Armaan asked scowling slightly with his long fingers nimbly twisting and turning Priya's hairlocks.

"Fifth time." Priya corrected him while dusting off the lint scattered on his sleeves. Times like these I become very aware of the fact that Iam hopelessly single and will probably remain like that my whole life. I maybe feeling very single right now but I definitely don't want to mingle either. The sound of the  bell ringing echoed around the whole university startling us. Sighing we go our separate ways to attend our classes promising to meet during breaks.

Armaan was studying BBA as he wanted to take after his father's business while Priya was doing BME ,she has a beautiful voice and knows to play most of the instruments and I am doing B.Sc in Mass communication ,Journalism and Advertising. As Iam in my 1st year I try my level best to avoid going infront of seniors voluntarily like I just did back there. It's not because Iam scared but infact Iam not and that is the problem. But luck is never on my side. As soon as I enter the hallway Iam blocked by a flock of flamingos which causes me to jump back startled.

Taking a moment or two to gather myself I look up to see that they are not flamingos but infact my seniors who were wearing heels the size of mount everest and different shades of pink sparky dresses topped with layers of make up. Now Iam not a judgemental person but they just appeared out of no where being all bright and sparkly so I bet anyone would have mistaken them for flamingos.

The girl in the middle , who Iam guessing is there leader arches her perfectly plucked eyebrow and starts circling me while her sidekicks start sizing me up. Their leader stops in front of me and says," Well, aren't you a little ball of sunshine?",referring to the quote on my backpack saying After RAIN,  comes SUNSHINE.....

And me being the idiot that Iam blurt out "No, Iam not." From where Iam standing I can subtly see the underwear dude smirking in our direction from right across the hallway. Oh, so this was all his doing.

They all glare at me with such intensity that if I were water then I would have probably evaporated by now.

"How dare you answer back? I want 50 rounds around the the basketball court now" saying she grabbed my arm and started dragging me. Upon reaching there I took out my Marker and made 50 circles around the basketball court like she asked. By the time she and her sidekicks went to sit on the bench under the tree I was  finished. So I went upto her and said, "Iam done "

"Are you kidding me? I didn't even see you start one yet alone complete fifty rounds." she yelled. So I took her to the place where I made the circles ,with her cronies tailing us.

"Do you think of me as a fool? I asked you to run 50 rounds not draw" she once again yelled at me. I think she will not stop all that yelling until she succeeds in bursting my eardrums.

"Ok so firstly hell yeah I do. I do think you are a fool, a very big one at that. Sorry but not sorry and then secondly it was you who asked me to make 50 rounds and also only you who didn't say 'how' so its your fault. You just told me to make fifty rounds and Iam pretty sure you didn't mention anything about running. So Good bye and take care." I shouted and ran away from there towards the lobby without hearing her reply. My first class was History of Journalism which Iam obviously not going to since Iam pretty late already so I make a detour towards the canteen.
