Present

I pulled a blanket over her covering my feet too. It was getting cold inside due to rains. Its cold but bearable, actually, its a lovely weather. Climate in Indore has always been pleasant.

I remember how Mia hated coming out in rain. She said her hair got messy and she hated all the stickiness. But I used to pull her out of her room, 'pull' is an understatement, I used to drag her down and would throw her in muddy water. She rebelled against a lot at first, every time I did that to her, but then she got used to it. Later she started playing football with me and my friends. 

She was the only girl who could play with us. Firstly, she is petite , so could easily get out of all tricks we used, to trip her down. Secondly, No one dared to hurt her or they had had to face me.

I had always been taller and stronger among the children my age. Most of them did not mess with me or Mia for the same reason. Those who did would back off the moment I towered over them.

Mia always found it amusing. She said I was her protective shield.I wonder if she still feels safe and protected with me?

Past

"I still have that affect on you."

When my mind finally agreed to restart I blurted out, "yea!! I know!! ".
That's when my words sunk in my head.
Whattt!!! Noooo it wasn't meant to be said out loud?!

She had amusement written all over her face. She was watching me ,flashing her signature smile.
Finally I composed myself.

"I mean what are you doing here?!"

"That's not how I expected you to say 'Hi'.", she smiled but it did't reach her eyes.

"I'm sorry. Seriously Meera what are you doing here?"
She blinked at me in shock. I didn't expect her to feel that way. She was clearly hurt.
Why?!

I loved calling her Mia. She expected I would still call her that. I chose that nickname for her when we were eight. But she was the one to tell me not to call her that two years ago. Why now?! Why is she hurt?

"I am your classmate for the next four years." she smiled.

"I didn't see you in class today."

"You looked spaced out." she giggled and continued,"with the way you were eating moments ago, I can now understand why" she laughed as she pulled my shirt a little to show me all the stains of the food I just ate.

Thud. Thud.

Why was my heart beating so loud?!
Could she hear it too?
How can she?! She isn't that close.

I quickly pulled it back from her fingers and smiled.

"So.."

"so?"

"Where do you live now?" she asked

" Melbourne in Khargar", I replied. Moving slowly out of the cafeteria. I thought she would let me go alone. She came with me instead.

"Won't u ask me?" she asked with excitement.

Do you want me to? Or will that be intruding your personal space?

"Sure, where do you live here?"

"Melbourne girls hostel in Khargar"
Great!! Now she would live in hostel across the street!!
Why was she acting as if nothing happened at all? I could see hurt in her eyes but that is wrong! I was the one who got hurt. She left me. She said we shouldn't be friends. Why was she playing the victim?

 I quickly found a seat near Kaveri and left her at the entrance. I didn't look back to see her face even though I wanted to. I couldn't see her hurt no matter if she did worse to me.

She stood there for some time scanning for an empty seat. Suddenly, a guy who I recalled to be Amit offered her seat beside him.

What the?!
Minutes before Ayush was sitting there! Where the HELL is he???

"Care to join me now Mr. Khanna, if you are done admiring Ms. Malhotra?"
I didn't even turn my head to see Prof. Raghav until Kaveri jerked my arm.
I turned to find all the heads in the room turned to me.

"I'm sorry sir."

The lecture went on for about an hour and a half. As soon as the bell rang,I quickly left my seat, not even waiting for the professor to leave.

I made my way to the fifth bench where Amit was ogling at her and she clearly looked pissed. Her whole body was tensed, hands intertwined on the table and she was tapping her foot so hard on ground that I'm sure she would give a crack to the tiled floor, if he didn't stop bad-mouthing her.

I really wanted to break his nose, for whatever he said, to make her this uncomfortable.

"Mia? Mind if I sit with you?"

Her face lit up as I said those words. She smiled. Smile that reached her eyes. I loved that smile of hers. I missed her so much. I missed making her happy. I missed being with her.

"Dude, I am sitting here with her."

"You can join Kaveri in second row", with that I pulled him with his collar.

He opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it back, taking in my height and strength I was holding him with.

He quickly grabbed his bag and went to sit with Kaveri.

"You know if glaring could kill people you would have killed him like ten times this very second." She chuckled.

I didn't realize I was staring at him. I quickly looked at her and then away. I don't want her to know anything that was going on in my mind.

I have always been an open booklet for her. She knew anything and everything that was going on in my mind since we were eight. She knew every secret of mine.

I sometimes wonder if she knew about my feelings for her too? But she would have done something about that. Wouldn't she?

"Earth to Nick!" she said as she jerked me on my shoulder.

"What?"

"Where are you?"

"Classroom", I said with bored expressions on my face.

She rolled her eyes."As if I don't know that. What were you thinking?"

"Question is what are you thinking?"

Confusion written all over her face.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play with me Meera..." just as she started saying something. I cut her off. "...Again."
