Vicious Best Friend

9. Inayat

"Do you think I'm gonna do well? " kainat questions while I'm startled to hear her sing even better than earlier .

I smile and answer "Ofcourse" .

She sits next to me and holds my hand with a smile on her face "I've been thinking of asking it from you since a long time Inu but lately since a few days you have been acting strange . So I am asking it now "

"Me ? No when? " I smile awkwardly .

"When we brought Zara back from the hospital you were lost in your own thoughts and I know it's not because of Zain , there are other things , so tell me "

There is a lot but how can I tell her anything? What is she gonna think of me ?

The door opens and shru storms inside yelling " after kicking a few asses I'm gonna officially break every relationship with her " she points a finger at me .

"What's wrong " Kai questions.

Shruti shows her phone to kainat and my breathing stops .
No---no -- this can't be happening.

" inayat " kainat speaks with a pale face .

"Wha--what is it " I stand up and shruti speaks louder "I just can't believe this bitch "

Shru is the last person to use those words so it means that this is really serious.

"Mai muh tod dugi iska aaj toh" kainat rushes my way and my defence mechanism comes into action as I lift both hands to cover my face but she grabs my wrist and picks her phone from the bed . What ? I thought they were talking about me.

"She seriously did that behind our backs" shruti speaks and I take her phone when they drag me out to check what it was.
A video of me getting bullied by kavya and her friends has been circulating and that shit is humiliating .

"Chudail kahi ki " shru speaks as we walk towards the main campus .
Thank god Zara has gone to see Archit after he got discharged from the hospital and Crystal and inayat have gone to shop otherwise it would have been a big mess not that it is any less only with these two .

"How dare you" shru yells as soon as we enter their class . The teacher sees her and sighs before leaving . He very well knows shru belongs to whom , so nobody dares to say anything to her . Her father in law , you can say is the owner of our university.

" it was not me " a girl who has been actively passing mean comments my way voices . They know that if shruti wants , she can throw them out and ruin their careers right now . That's how much power Shivay possesses . His father is going to be the next prime minister so political power speaks .

"We have been threatened by Zain already and we no longer talk to her so please " a guy mentions .

"Did he beat any of you " Kai questions without leaving my hand .

"Most of us" another one from the Bullying squad says .

"Then I'm proud of him " shru smiles.
"We just said that she's a side--- I mean she's not as important as you all are you know " kavya speaks.

"How am I any more important than her " kai questions .
"Come on Kai, you know you're Dev's faince so ofcourse you're much more significant and then look at shru , her daddy and her sugar daddy make her feel like a queen then obviously Inayat is the one to be targeted"
" Shut the fuck up " shru speaks louder " inu can you gimme my phone so that I can call shiv to have a tiny tiny chat with all of them "

"No!!! " all of them speak in unison while Kai chuckles .

"APOLOGIZE "she declares . Its strange how shru is such a warrior without him around by using his name and power but she's a scrardy cat in front of him.

Then I just hear sorry , sorry from all sides. I wonder how these people are going to react when that video goes out . I'll be targeted once more .

"Let's go , they very well know what it would be like to be thrown out of the uni during their final year " shru grabs my other hand .

"There was no need of it" I mutter as we walk out .

"Shut up before I kill you for hiding it untill now" shru leaves my hand and storms away . She got really mad .

"Let's go " kainat rushes behind her but suddenly the phone in my hand that belongs to shru vibrates uncountable number of times . I look at the notifications popping up.

The Devil : where the fuck are you ?

The Devil : do you want me to come over and teach you how to behave ?

The Devil : stop ignoring my texts or you'll beg me like last time .

The Devil : and in case you don't remember when was the last time because you've been avoiding me then you can have a look . It will remind you of some things.

My hand grips the phone tighter on the phone as he sends a photo .

I can't see what he sent , it's wrong , it's wrong , no , I can't------

My finger clicks on the text and the pic shows up. My eyes turns double the size as I look at the pic . The voice at the back of my head speaks, you shouldn't have done that .

The pic is a mirror selfie taken in a bathroom . Shivay holds shru with her long hair making her chin lift while he kisses her chest . He has the phone in his other hand to click the photo and they both are half naked. At least that's how much is visible in the photo .

"You're blushing " someone whispers and I immediately turn back to find Zain smirking.

"Why did you see ? It's her private stuff "

"Then why did you see it "

"It -- it was a mistake " I put the phone inside my pocket.

"But you liked it, your face is all red " he chuckles "kissing is not my thing but I'd love to do it with you"

"Have some shame " I turn around to leave but he grabs my arm .

"For once , can you stop thinking of us as best Friends" he speaks but I intervene "ex best friends "

"Can't we be just a guy and a girl ? think of me as a guy for once " he leaves no space between us and I whisper "we are in a hall filled with students, get away Zain "

"Fine , let's go on a date " he grabs my wrist while I protest .

The upcoming book will be my most favorite couple of the series and the one who guesses correctly will be mentioned by me in that book .

So think about it and comment ❣️

A tiny hint , if you are thinking The Wild Fire couple Shivay and Shruti is the correct answer then no , they both are my second favorite. Which ones would be first?
