Ruhi wanted nothing more than to keep close to her friend circle and score good marks and the last thing she wanted in her life was Vivaan.

"I just felt really bad for throwing sarcasm at you when you are having a social dilemma."

"What's wrong with you?" Ruhi hissed at Suhana, gesturing between them. The last bell has rung and students were pooling out of the classroom. "Why are you being like this? All uptight?"
"Oh! So now you care," snapped Suhana, eyeing Ruhi disdainfully. "Where was your concern when it was needed?"
"When was it needed?" Ruhi felt like hurling herself out the window. What had she done?
"Don't act like you don't know." Suhana glowered at her. "I never thought you were so selfish and self-concerned. The world doesn't revolve around you. You need to care for others' feelings too."
Ruhi felt furious at her friend-best friend, who she supposed to understand her, like her but it turned out she didn't. Her eyes burned as water started pooling in her eyes. She grabbed her backpack, swung it over her left shoulder and hurried out of the class. She blinked her eyes furiously, preventing herself from crying. The events played in loops inside her head. She failed to see Siddharth in front of her. She shoved him and walked straight out of the school gate. She started walking down the familiar path to her home.
She missed her best friend, the one who held her hands when she returned from school. Suddenly, she had lost her most trusted friend. She didn't know what she had done and her best friend was furious at her. She didn't even have the slightest clue what was wrong. Suhana could have said what's wrong but no, she won't say and be all discreet and shady and accusing. Was Ruhi at fault? No. Not that she knew of any wrongs she had done, not at least consciously. She huffed at the thought of Suhana's scrunched-up disdainful face. She should have yelled or said something in return for all those mockeries and harsh words Suhana threw her way. A lone tear escaped her eye and she immediately wiped it away. She was so engrossed in her mind that she crashed straight into a human made of hard muscle and a broad chest.
"Ow." She rubbed her head. Looking up she came face to face with the one and only Vivaan Mishra, the devil's spawn.
"Look at you being all sad and lonely," Vivaan cooed at her to spite her.
Ruhi glared at him and tried to swerve past him but being the obnoxious person he was, he blocked the way.
"Move!" Ruhi grabbed his arm and tried to move him but his hands clasped tightly on her shoulders.
"Sorry." Vivaan looked at her apologetically. Ruhi felt the biggest shock in her life. She must be dreaming! The Vivaan Mishra was apologising to her, his nemesis!
Ruhi checked his body temperature by pressing the back of her hand to his forehead. "You seem fine."
She peered at him, closely. "Are you doing drugs? Are you high?"
