Kyra's POV
"One day I will write a book which will beat all the books in this world hollow. A book far better than anything anyone has ever written." I looked at the ceiling of my room.
"I will be all over the place. Bookstores, launches, events, media, readers...everyone will love me."
"Oh...oh...oh...Stop, stop, desi John Green! Stop dreaming. It’s not easy to write. Even if you write rubbish, it takes time, effort and skill. Do you realise that? You deleted the only book you wrote on Wattpad, tumse kya hi umeed lagaoon main! " Shan said in his usual dramatic tone
"One day, Shan, I am telling you . . . one day. I will be a world-famous author. You will be proud of me."
"Even if you don’t become one, I will still be proud of you,Ab homework karle? " He asked
I sighed.
"Tune dekha? " I ask him unable to resist.
"Kya? Fault in our stars? " He asked
"Nahi, Veer... And Kriti.. "
"Haan weird toh mujhe bhi laga especially when Anaisha walks around like she owns him" He said.
"But there's no one who likes him since I do" I said.
“I have a foreboding feeling about him, Kyra. He is not the right guy for you.”
My heart sank at his ominous prediction.
“Do you like him or love him?” he inquired, and I examined my own feelings.
Would you call it love?
“What is love if not a passionate heartbreak?” I cited my philosophical crap, and he slapped his forehead laughing.
“Okay, so Miss Queen of Philosophy how about talking to him tomorrow?” Shan continued.
It felt like he had pledged to make us talk. And it’s not like I didn’t want to, I so wanted to hear his voice, get close to him and know him, but the thought itself scared me.
"Guys" Kriti knocked at the door.
"Kriti" Shan said excited. "Hiiiiii" he kept waving
Wait who's best friend is he again?
"We have a visitor" She said smiling.
Veer kapoor walked into our room, and I immediately shut my books.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb your study session" He said looking at me and then at Kriti.
"We weren't studying at all, We were talking about football" I said recollecting his earlier Instagram story.
"I see, what's your favorite team? " He asked
I didn't even know what Paris or St German actually stood for in his caption. Was it the team or the tagline?
"She likes PSG" Shan answered
I smiled looking at him
"At least one of the Malhotra sisters thoughts match mine" He said
"What do you mean? " I ask confused.
"Kriti is a Cityzen, And she thinks they will win the UEFA Champions League this time but I think PSG will" He said
"PSG might have Messi but with Julian Alvarez as the Forward and Kevin De Bruyne as the attacking midfielder I think we have an upper hand" She said confidently
"Don't forget Ederson" Shan said as they both high-fived each other.
"Its okay Kiara, I'm on your side" He said
"It's Kyra" I said plainly.
"Oops sorry" He said shrugging.
"By the way there's a party at my home after the match this weekend, you should totally come" He added.
A party? At his house? And he invited me? This should be a dream!
"I am sorry... I can't come" Shan said
"Kyun? " I asked him making a puppy face
"Maine bola tha na, My mom is sending me to tutions near Chandni maam, Saturday unka class hai, I can't make it, I'm sorry" He said
"It's okay bud, Kriti you can bring Kyra along right? " Veer asked
"Yeah totally" She said smiling.
Kriti has been happy since she's back or maybe she's faking it, I can't tell but I guess she's genuinely happy - I mean she has the most popular guy of the college acknowledging her existence, What else would you want?
"I'll see you then" He said hugging her
He gave Shan a fist bump and came forward to hug me
He gave me an awkward side hug and left.
But for me it meant so much, He was my crush and he hugged me. All thanks to Kriti. I was mentally squealing inside.
She went down stairs and Shan looked at me
"Kya? " I asked
"Football? Do you even know how many players are in a football team" He asked
"10? " I asked when he sighed.
"Kyra I won't always be around to save you, Agar party mein aisi situation aagayi toh, what will you do then? " He asked
I have the world's best best friend.
"Isliye toh tu aana please" I requested
"Kyra.. " Kriti called out.
"See agar tumhe party mein nahi aana hai, toh I won't force you to come, I mean I know you're an introvert and don't like socialising with people... "
"Kisne bola? Kuch bhi... I'm a party animal, I love socialising, I'll be fine Kriti" I said in a confident tone as Shan looked at me with a disgusted expression.
"But please mujhe woh blue top dedo mere paas kapde nahi hai yaar" I whined.
"Okay" She said casually.
Matlab she has something better to wear, isliye toh bina kuch bole she's giving it to me.
"What are you wearing? " I asked curious.
"Meera told that she will lend me hers so that Anaisha doesn't make fun of me" She said
"I don't like her" I said in a matter of fact tone. "Neither does Shan"
"What.. I mean... She's hot"
I glared at him.
"Yeah I don't like her, she's mean and bossy" He said
"Just like Kyra"
"Just like Kyra" Shan said as both of them high fived each other.
Okay he's the worst best friend ever!
"Aww don't get offended, she's hot.. But you're sweet, " He said pinching my cheeks.
"Homework kare? " I asked diverting the topic.
He nodded.
Kriti smiled and left us alone.
While Constantly bickering and taunting each other we successfully completed our homework.
