This chapter is from Aarav's POV, most chapters will be from his but if I want to write from someone else I'll mention their name.

So I was in my room sitting on my bed enjoying my coffee and not freaking out about what just happened earlier. Yeah, Nikum hugged me. Hugged. Me. You know physical contact yup we are at that level. Oh my god, Nikum hugged me I think I'll cry. He is so adorable somebody go and protect him- wait no I'll go and protect him. I just can't this is too much. And now he'll go to a bookstore with me. Do I need anything else in life? No, I don't I mean I do but never mind that.He gave me his phone number. Phone number. Yeah, we are at that level. I just don't know what I'm feeling as there are a lot of emotions first of all congratulate me for not freaking out there and acting as normal as possible apart from the fact that my face was red.
"Aarav" my mother called from down and I groaned, I sat up and went down my mom was sitting at the dining table peeling potatoes, I went near her and asked why she called me.
"Do you know how old is that boy?" She asked.
"Which boy- oh Nikum um I don't know actually but looking at him he looks like he is in his early twenties" she mouthed an o and continued doing her work while I stood there thinking that she will ask me something else when she didn't I turned back to go back to my room.
"Wait, did you have him the Gulab Jamun I made?"
"Yeah I did and why are you asking me this again and again this is like the third time!"
She acted like she didn't hear me and continued doing her work. I just don't understand what parents get when they annoy their children. I sighed and went back to my room when I got a call from Nick saying that he was there. I went into my room and washed my place and changed into a blue sweatshirt and black trousers pants. I was quite nervous to go with Nikum, I know that it's just like a shopping kinda thing but to me, it's more. I sat down and closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I took a moment.
Nikum had told me to call him before I leave so I called him and he picked on the third ring,
"Hey Nikum it's me Aarav"
"Oh hello"
"I- I was leaving so you leave too?" I was nervous and maybe I shouldn't go maybe this is a bad idea maybe I should just stay home and do my assignments-
"Okay I'll leave now, see you in a minute"
He hung up leaving me with my thoughts, I decided that what I was thinking was stupid and I should just go. I went down and told my mom where I was going and went out. I stood at my main gate waiting for Nikum when I saw his door open and him coming out looking all sexy. Sexy is the only word to describe him. He wore black pants with a black turtleneck shirt. He has applied gel to his hair and it looked fine as hell. He wore a silver chain around his neck and rings on his fingers. He was giving a kind of E-boy vibe and I loved it.
"Wow you look cute," he said and I started blushing and somehow managed to Thanks. I stood there for a full minute when I told him that nick is here and we should go. We went outside of our colony and I spotted Nick's car we went near it and I told Nikum that he should sit at the back and I'll be in the front. As soon as I entered the car I regretted it, Kanishk was sitting there in a suit wait let me correct he was wearing a white shirt with a blazer under black football shorts.
"What the fuck is this? How many times do I have TO TELL YOU NOT TO WEAR THIS!" I realised that I shouted in front of Nikum and felt a little embarrassed but then I had to.
"Dude it's called style and I look cool, your boi looks cool, I look cool right?" He asked Nikum to which he said "very cool" and they first bumped. Meanwhile, I glared at nick and his smile dropped.
"You will- I will, no, just change this, okay the shirt is fine change the shorts what were you thinking when you wore this huh? And how did aunty let you leave like this?"
"Oh she doesn't know," he said and grinned proudly, "and I can't change now when we reach the book shop I'll do it there now don't say anything and let me drive this baby"
"You" Nikum pointed at nick, "are going to drive?"
"Yeah!" But Nikum didn't look convinced, "don't you trust me?"
"No offence but we like just met each other so"
I was about to say something when my phone rang I took it out and it was Rhea calling she was supposed to meet me at the shop, I picked it up and before I could say hello she started to speak,
"It's closed how can it be closed bookshops are not supposed to be closed dude what will we do!? This is so stupid I mean why would you do that just open it 24/7 damn thes-"
"Wait the shops closed? Why?"
"I don't know they are closed on Wednesday this is pissing me off"
"What will we do now? Oh we can go to the shop
another shop""No I don't want to go you can go tho, though I feel
Low now I'll talk to you later, bye"I placed my phone down and looked at both of them, nobody said anything I guess we all were thinking about where we should go because I didn't want to go home. Nothing was coming to my mind, we could go to another bookstore but this one is huge and cheap, maybe we can go to watch a movie or go to a coffee shop and just chill.
Someone's phone started to ring and I looked at nick but it was Nikum's, he picked it up and talked in mostly 'yeah yeah, I have people? For what? Gosh is he some kind of- no-no that's the stupidest thing I can think? Nikum hung up and looked at us grinning,
"So" he took a dramatic pause, "would you like to go to Divine's concert?"
As soon as he said that nick went to cloud 103738 and screamed while we covered our ears. So here's a thing Kanishk loves and when I say love I mean love divine. He worships him.
"You don't know how much this means to me! I can give you my life just ask for it, DAMN, Aarav! W- we are going- going to my baby, oh my god i- I'm crying"
And he was crying.
