One Right Decision

12| Asshole and Bitch

Chapter 12

My mom was ready to slap me across the face. I need to save myself.

"Dhruv- Just because you are a boy and my friend, You won't be my boyfriend," I tell him and he looks back at me confused.

I turn to my mom and whisper " The autistic one in my class." I tell her and she nods along.

"My mom doesn't need to know." I mouth him as my mom invites us inside.

"Will you eat anything?" My mom asks Dhruv, but he nods his head negatively.

"It's ok aunty. I will get going." He tells leaving us in a moment.

I was scared she might catch on to it. But she doesn't.

"He seems like a nice guy. Keep your friendship well with him." My mom says as she goes back in and once checks on my temperature to see if I was ok.

Only if I could tell her what is going on. But she would never understand.

With a heavy heart, I go to my room. Let's just say sleep was the last thing on my mind.

--------------------

Today I got to sit beside Shruthi in class. I told her about Dhruv and what happened.

"Nice cover man or else you would be dead." She says as she twirls around her chair. Today of all days it seems hard to concentrate on class. All my thoughts are linked to a certain someone and they don't seem to go.

"Stop talking sir is looking at you," Shubham calls us out. But we pay no heed.

"That's enough!" Our sir shouts at top of his lungs.

"You three get out of the class." He says. In our universities, we are expected to leave if that was said. But I felt bad because Shubham was not even part of the conversation.

Before I could stand up and vouch for him, he was already leaving the class.

"What are you both waiting for? Should I bring you guys separate invitations?" He shouts at our faces, so we had to leave in a hurry.

"Subbu! You didn't have to leave." Shruthi drags as we catch up to him.

"But he told us to leave," Shubam says innocently.

"But it wasn't your fault. You were not talking." I tell him feeling really bad.

"Ohh, Should I go back into the class again?" He asks walking backward. But Shruthi catches his hand promptly.

"No! He will scold you if you go now. Come with us," Shruthi asks as we make our way to the canteen.

"We will buy you a drink," I say pulling out my credit card.

"I don't drink." He tells me as he sits on the table I laugh at his innocence.

"I will buy whatever you want to eat," I tell him.

"I don't eat anything here." He tells, nodding his head.

"Tell us later what you want," Shruthi tells as she sits beside him and I take a seat opposite.

"So Subbu tell us, what special is going on?" Shruthi asks as she puts a hand on his shoulder. But he pushes her hand back.

"I actually like a girl and I need help." He tells shocking both of us.

"Who is that lucky girl?" Shruthi chuckles poking him in the sides.

"She is my video game friend." He tells us. That shocks us even more.

"You met her in real life?!" I ask him wanting to know more.

"Yes, she is my neighbor and plays with me every day." He tells me with a smile on his face. That is an emotion he rarely shows.

"Owww! Tell her already!" Shruthi suggests as she pushes his shoulder. He gets annoyed by her and shifts beside me.

"I told her. She told she needs time. Does that mean she doesn't like me?" He asks looking at us expectantly.

"When did you tell her?" Shruthi asks him curiously.

"1 week back." He tells her.

"Does she come to play with you every day?" She asks him another question. He nods his head positively.

"Then she is considering you," Shruthi answers.

"Is it taking time because am autistic?" He asks another question.

"She will consider that, but she also needs to consider a lot of things about her as well. Like is she ready for a relationship or not? Or if she is ok with commitment." Shruthi answers attentively.

"Even if she rejected you, I don't think you will be the problem. She might have her own reasons." I tell him, so he can remember my point as well.

"Why wouldn't it be my fault?" He asks us.

"Because if it were your fault, she would have stopped talking to you already," Shruthi tells.

They get immersed in their own conversation when I get a message from Dhruv.

Are you free?- Dhruv

With my friends- Me

Am bored, can I meet them?- Dhruv

I see the message and look up at Shruthi and Shubham.

"Dhruv wants to meet you guys," I tell them.

"Why?" Shruthi asks in a heartbeat.

"Because he is bored," I tell them rolling my eyes,

"Ok, tell him to take us somewhere nice." Shruthi snickers.

"You will come with us naa Subbu?" Shruthi asks aiming the question at Shubham.

"You are ok with it?" He asks doubtfully.

"If we weren't why would we ask?" I tell him looking at him slyly.

"Ok, I am free. We can go." He tells me already packing his bag.

I call Dhruv and he said he will take us to the mall nearby.

"Hey, It's nice to meet you." Shruthi greets Dhruv by putting forward her hand.

"I don't let other girls touch me except my girlfriend," He says pulling me into a hug.

"Fake girlfriend." Shruthi sneers into his face as he looks at me shocked.

"She is my best friend she needed to know," I tell him, as he points his finger at Shubham asking whether he knows too and I nod saying yes.

"Are we even dating?" He asks shocked at my words.

"Fake dating." Shruthi buts in again. By the looks of it, she hates him to the core.

"You shut up. Am not talking to you," Dhruv says, even he is angry at her.

"No one tells me to shut up!" She shouts back at him coming face to face with him.

"Oh! I easily can see- Shut up." He says pushing onto her.

"Stop being an asshole!" She shouts at him once again.

"Maybe if you stopped being a bitch that might work." Now they are eye to eye and it looks like they will rip their heads off.

"Now, guys guys! Let's not fight." I say pulling Dhruv while Shubham pulls Shruthi.

"Asshole," Shruthi mutters under her breath.

"Bitch." Dhruv mutters under his breath.

This will be a long long day.
