Academic Rivals Don't Fuck (BxB) [CURRENTLY REWRITING]

Karthik had told me to not meddle with his studies. 

And I plan on doing quite the opposite. 

Not because I know he can't do much about it, but because I'm curious to see what he'd do. He was fuming when I had thrown away his books and slapped me, so what will he do if I continuously disturb his studying?

I knew he couldn't start a fight, he was obviously physically weaker than me. He can't be that stupid to go against me in a fight. 

That is why I want to keep on testing his limits, see what he'd do if I repeatedly disturbed what he prioritises the most– his studies.

I looked to my right and saw Karthik trying to focus. That view is unbearable.

I started clicking my pen on my desk until it grabbed his attention. He didn't say anything but instead gave me a glare that said everything I needed to know.

I smirked internally before putting my pen down like an obedient kid. He turned his head back to the board, paying attention to what the teacher was saying.

I didn't even need to focus, I could easily pass whatever the assignment was, considering I'm half Spanish.

The teacher was displaying what looked like a schedule. "Wait, what was the assignment about?" I asked as I wasn't listening to her at all.

She gave me a look. "I have just explained." What excuse should I come up with? Oh, yeah.

"Oh, I'm sorry. This guy next to me keeps on distracting me." I smirked. I knew what I meant, and I think the teacher did too as she glanced at Karthik in suspicion.

"Is that so?" She asked. "No, he's the one distracting me." He defended. His eyes were wide as he pointed his pen at me. How cute.

I chuckled at his response. "Do you even realise what you're saying?" I whispered. He gave me a glare.

The teacher then finally explained what the assignment was about. Apparently we had to write about the economic state of a country in Spanish. That's easy.

The class soon finished and everyone left, including Karthik. I followed behind as I walked past him.

I had something to say to him, more like warn him.

"Oh, and by the way, remember how you told me to never disturb your studies again?" He raised his brows. 

"I will do it over and over again. Let's see what you can do in return." I winked at him before turning around and walking away.

I needed to tell him so that he knows that I want him to do something. I have a feeling he would just end up yelling at me at last and then avoid me.

As if hasn't already done that, I rolled my eyes.

If only he could play along a bit, prank me back or try to get my attention– the game would be so much more fun if two were playing.

"Okay, so I need you to knock on the door and then wait. If that other dude opens, tell him to call for Karthik. And if Karthik opens-" 

"Wait, wait, wait. Why are we doing this again?" Liam asked me with a confused look. Liam and I had planned on pranking Karthik again, this time he'd lure him out and then get him locked out of the dormitories in the middle of the night. 

But apparently, Liam is not that interested in getting Karthik locked out.

"For fun!" I placed a hand on his shoulder. "Now go." I gestured at the closed dorm room, waiting for him to knock. "I have a feeling this won't turn out good." He hesitated.
