Aashna's POV:

"And, what is this for?" I crossed my arms while glancing at the bowl of honey pistachio ice-cream on the table.

"It's my treat, for being the best fake girlfriend." Abhi said, playfully.

"As much as I want to say it wasn't needed, I won't. Cause it definitely was needed." I picked up the spoon. "Only I know how I tolerated you for two months." I put a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth before savoring its taste.

"Come on," he sang making me narrow my eyes at him. "Admit it, you enjoyed hanging out with me. And I am damn sure you are gonna miss it." he leaned in a bit.

"You wish." I scoffed but inside I knew he was right.

"Oh, pepper, it's okay. There's no need to be ashamed, I understand. As much as I would love to hangout with you, we can't do it." he whispered while glancing around, as if someone was eavesdropping. "In everyone's eyes, we have just broken up and, Shagun, thinks that you still love me. So it would be weird, for them."

I scoffed. "As if. Don't hype yourself. And stop calling me that!" I exclaimed. "I'm not your girlfriend anymore."

"It's a habit, okay. It takes time to lose it." he put a spoonful of his ice cream in his mouth.

The most annoying thing about Abhi is that, he has a huge sweet tooth. Now you must be thinking that it's not that annoying. Yeah I know, you are right. Its not annoying that he has a sweet tooth, but the fact that even after all that sugar intake he effortlessly manages to stay so fit —more than fit actually— is annoying. I'm so envious.

He literally has tried every ice-cream flavor available in the ice-cream parlors of this town. Like literally. And out of all the ice-cream flavors available in this restaurant, his favorite is the Marzipan Maraschino Cherry Ice Cream (I can't even pronounce it right,) which is what he is having right now.

I rolled my eyes. "Why did you even give it to me in the first place?"

"Then what should have I called you? Who was gonna believe that you are my girlfriend if I didn't even gave you a cute nickname?" he licked the ice cream off of the back of the spoon.

"Cute?"

"To me, it is." he shrugged and I sighed, shaking my head.

I eyed the imbecile creature sitting across me, enjoying his  ice cream. I didn't even realize when this dumbhead became so close to me. I don't get along with people very often and the last person I expected to get along with, was him. I was rather surprised when I realized he knew my name.

If someone saw the way I treated him, they would think of me as a fool. But I never thought of Abhi as the football star or the chess champion of school, I always treated him as a friend.

Abhimanyu Sinha is perfect. Well, at least that's what half the population of this school thinks(mostly girls). But I didn't, and I still don't. But still, I feel he is the type of guy every girl would want to be with. He is good looking, smart, funny, popular, understanding. And unlike other popular guys of this school, he treats people nicely. But I won't lie, he does gets a bit over dramatic sometimes, but you would still find yourself wanting to hangout with him.
