"I love the way you talk about me
Look at how far it got me."

••••

Avni flexed her finger, as she listened to everyone gossiping about yesterday's party, they all were not even trying to be a little quiet. It was like they wanted her to listen to them and react. What a pathetic bunch, she thought.

"Niel preferred staying in cool water then kissing her." a girl in the front row, giggled, "She is ugly what do you expect?" The girl beside her replied.

Avni closed her eyes, trying to remember all of the reasons why hitting someone was not a favourable thing to do in this situation.

"Did you hear?"

"Well Niel did make a right choice, he should not even be a company of such a girl."

"I heard she made Tara and Sitara do that because she wanted to kiss Niel."

"I thought she was a Mehta she would be better than that."

"Mehta? Don't make me laugh, even her mother was a Mehta it didn't stop her-- "

"Shut up, every single one of you shut up," Avni's voice boomed through the classroom, "It's sick that according to you kissing a girl without consent is okay but not kissing her because the person had one last brain cell left is because the flaw is in the girl?"

"And my mother? You have the guts to judge my mother, people like you who don't dare to talk in front of people of their age are talking about my mother, what a joke you all are." she gave fake a laugh, everyone was looking at her with wide eyes.

Avni once again glanced around the room, before packing up her back and leaving the classroom, it wasn't worth listening to their pathetic gossip, none of the people from Aman's group has come as much as she was aware all of them were at Niel's place since he had a fever because of yesterday. Mrs Mehta was very worried for him too since Aman had only come home for half an hour that too just for few medicines, Mrs Mehta kept.

She didn't expect anything less from any one of them, missing colleges because one of them was ill, that seemed like their thing, they all were very close, regardless of anything, the way they all were acting and trying to protect him yesterday proved that.

Avni took a place on the bench in the garden in front of the college, she thought back to today's conversation with Aman, it made her laugh that he thought she didn't know their plan for the party, it was clear as water, they had planned something for her in the party but their plan got sidetracked because of twins.

It was funny how they thought Avni didn't notice Aman's change in personality when he came to give her the so-called extracurricular form. She had recognised Aman enough in three days to know he will never voluntarily come and give her that form, he would have sent it with some maid, Mehta mansion had enough of those, then he was not able to reach Mrs Mehta. That was a pathetic lie she instantly realized as she had gotten a missed call from Mrs Mehta just before he had knocked on her door.

The whole telling Mrs Mehta about his whereabouts and giving an extracurricular form was a game plan to get her to come to the party, they all thought or she must say Niel thought, she would follow them to party after that little show, so Avni decided to prove him right and see what they had planned for her.

Too sad that she didn't really get to see their plan.

Niel Khanna

"Those two are gonna die," Riya hissed, Niel wincing sat up, he leaned against the headboard of his huge royal blue bed, Aman rushed towards him to fix the pillow around him to make it more comfortable for him.
