NANDINI'S POV:

We entered the gate with our hands held together and kept walking while receiving all types of looks from the students present there. There were three categories:

1) the ones who adore our friendship.

2) The ones who ship us- as a couple lol.

3) The ones who give us weird looks which scream, 'why do they even do this? cringe af.'

But I couldn't care any less, I would much rather concentrate on how to stay normal and not freak out in the crowd. But the constant squeeze I was getting from the warm hand that was holding mine was enough to keep me sane. We just passed by the students without giving them any glance, more like I passed by without giving any glance, because my best friend was not just my best friend, he was friends with more than half of the school. Not exactly popular, but the mediocre popular types I guess, if something like that exists. He kept replying to all the greetings he received and waved at the ones who did the same, but made sure to never let go of my hand. It was a habit now, something that happens daily.

We finally reached the corridor which was in front of our class room and found are friends there, who stood in a circle as usual. We rushed towards them only for me to be engulfed in a hug by Shanvi and for Kabir to jump on Gaurav's  back who was now cursing him. Karthik and Maahi just kept staring at us as if we belonged to another planet. Shanvi is the cute bubbly and energetic one whereas Karthik and Maahi are silent and calm ones. Well Gaurav? he's just there because Kabir wants to irritate him. 

SHANVI: myy godd Nandu I missed you soo much! 

KARTHIK: you met her just yesterday-

SHANVI: But I still missed her! not everyone is emotionless like you- Oh wait, maahi is!

MAAHI: I wasn't even involved in your convo-

SHANVI: doesn't matter, you're involved with us so you're involved in everything we do by default. 

GAURAV: Dude wtf! get off my back kabir! you weigh the amount of a hippo. 

KABIR: geez I am just more well built and you're like match stick, not my problem.

GAURAV: whatever- yaar nandini, how do you even tolerate him?

KABIR: tolerate?! I am offended now! My panda loves spending time with me.

NANDINI: nahh- you irritate me.

KARTHIK: yeah sure, that's why you're still holding hands.

He said while pointing at our hands and I let go of his hand immediately and Kabir looked at him with his eyes full of betrayal. 

KABIR: Dushman na kare dost ne woh kaam kiya hai, umar bhar ka ghum humme inaam diya hai-

(my friend has treated me the way even enemies don't, she's gifted me with a pain of lifetime.)

GAURAV: Chup kar jaa, drame toh tere waise bhi khatam nahi hote. Samajh nahi aata ladki tu hai ya nandu.

(Shut up, you're more dramatic compared to Nandu. It confuses me sometimes whether you're a girl or her.)

SHANVI: See, he's dramatic, nandu handles his drama too well. Match made in heaven, shaadi karlo tum dono.

(get married you both)

Shippers I told, remember?

I shook my head in disbelief but was instantly pulled closer by kabir as he caged me under his arm once again. This guy needs to stop doing this.

KABIR: Arre tumlog ko toh pata hai na, ki try maarunga kisi acchi si ladki ko patake shaadi karne ka. Nahi pati toh yeh toh hai hi fix, isse dulhan banalunga apni.

(come on you guys know na, I'll try to woo a good girl and get married, if it doesn't happen, then she's here beside me, I'll make her my bride.)

NANDINI:  Tujhse shaadi karne se accha mai sooke kuye mei na jump lagadu?

(I would rather jump in a dry well and die than to marry you.)

SHANVI: dekha, jhagda bhi pati-patni jaise. Yaar tum log kar hi lo abhi shaadi. Nandu ke papa nhi maane toh mai bhaagne mei help karti hu.

(see, they even bicker like a married couple. You know what, you guys get married. If nandu's dad doesn't agree then I'll help you guys to elope. )

GAURAV: Isko bhagane ka chodo. Woh dekh kabir, tere aukaat ke bahar waala pyaar. 

(forget about eloping, look there kabir, your out of reach love.)

We all turned our head towards the direction only to witness the dramatic entry of the heart throb of our school.

MIHIKA AGARWAL. The absolutely rich princess with the looks of disney princess. All the boys in the school go crazy for her but she doesn't date anyone. Has a resting bitch face but we've seen her smiling when she's with her friends. Not that I know much about her. In fact none of us know much about her.

And an extra piece of info, mr. Kabir sharma here, has a crush on her. Well he's had that crush from past 2 years ig? That doesn't really matter much because nothing's gonna happen between them. Because the Mihika agarwal doesn't even speak to us. 

KARTHIK: ghoorna band kar sab nandu jaise nahi hote jo sar pe maarke chod denge. Usne dekh liya toh jeena mushkil kardegi tera.

(Stop staring at her, not everyone is like nandu who'll hit you on your head once and leave. If she sees you staring at her then she'll make it impossible for you to survive.)

KABIR: tum sab bas jalte ho mujhse.

(you guys are just jealous of me.)

We all burst out in laughter. Even me. What? I couldn't control ok?! it was hella funny.

KABIR: nandu you too???! *whining*

NANDINI: okay guys enough. Let's get in, classes are gonna start soon. 

We all headed inside the classrooms to occupy our respective seats. And yeah, me and Kabir were bench mates as well. It has always been like this, we used to sit together ever since we were in the kindergarten. I was busy in taking out the books and stationary which would be required for the class when I heard him calling my name once again. 

KABIR: chal bata shaadi mei khaane ka menu kya karen?

(ok now tell me about the wedding's menu.)

NANDINI: Kiski shaadi ka?

(Who's wedding?)

KABIR: *grinning playfully* Hamari shaadi aur kiski.

(Of course our wedding.)

I looked at him in disbelief and started hitting him with the book I had in my hand.

NANDINI: just a little while ago you were ogling away your crush and now you want to marry me. Don't you have any other jokes or what huh?

KABIR: ahh nandu stop yaar its hurting now! Of course I'll do these jokes with you. You're the only one who doesn't misunderstand.

NANDINI: yeah yeah whatever.

KABIR: Ek second. Tune firse woh jasmine waala scent lagaya hai?

(Wait a second, you've applied that jasmine scent once again?)

NANDINI: scent nhi hai body wash hai. Mai roz yahi waala lagati hu waise bhi.

(its not a scent, its a body wash. Anyhow I use the same every day.)

KABIR: don't change this body wash or whatever you told it is.

NANDINI: why? *confused*

KABIR: kyuki jasmine ki khushbu hi teri badbu ko mitaa sakti hai *laughing hysterically*

(because only jasmine's perfume can cover your dirty smell.)

NANDINI: wow! joke of the century. Itne ghatiya jokes ke ideas aate kahan hai tere paas.

(from where do you get the ideas for these horrible jokes?)

KABIR: tere saath rehta hu toh aajate hain.

(I am always with you, so I get these ideas.)

NANDINI: toh pehli fursat mei nikal kyu nhi jaata?

(then why don't you leave me alone.)

KABIR: mai tujhse door hojau yeh ho nahi sakta. Aur tu mujhe apne  se door karde yeh mai hone nahi dunga.

(Me staying away from you is impossible and I'll never let you push me away from you.)

NANDINI: waah. Itna dhyaan padhai mei lagata toh aarav uncle ko teri shakal dekh ke pachtaana na padhta. 

(wow. If you would concentrate even a little bit on your studies, then uncle aarav wouldn't have to regret whenever he sees your face.)

KABIR: ohh please my face is handsome enough. It's just that your eye sight is weak.

NANDINI: yeah you're right. My eyes have this default ability of unseeing nasty things.

KABIR: woahh. Calm down bish. Too much roasting for today. 

We both looked at each other's face and started laughing. This was the best thing about us. No matter how much we roast each other, we ended up laughing. No grudges held. We just lived to laugh with each other.

Soon the teacher arrived and the class began. The day went by like that and finally it was the end of the last class and we were headed towards our houses. Me and Kabir bid our farewell to all our friends and started walking towards our houses as we lived in the opposite direction of theirs. The journey was as usual, him eating my head and me roasting him and us laughing together. Soon we reached my house and of course his house was just beside mine. I was about to get inside my house but turned to look at him because he called me.

KABIR: Sun, aaj khidki khuli rakhna. Mai aaunga raat ko.

(Listen, keep the window open. I'll come tonight.)

Oh I didn't tell you guys? This was our thing. When we were younger I was pretty obsessed with rupanzel, so dad and uncle aarav had set up a ladder below the window of my room so that Kabir could pretend to be the prince and climb up the ladder when we were playing. And Kabir being Kabir, he didn't let uncle aarav take a single breath unless he got a ladder under his window as well. We both grew up but none of us bothered to think about the ladder. And now it was turning out to be beneficial for us. 

Whenever one of us wasn't able to sleep we were just a text or a phone call away and Kabir would come to my room through the window and we would binge watch anything that was on our mind at that point. Of course with snacks.

NANDINI: aaj kyun lekin?

(why today?)

KABIR: arre ek mast movie aayi hai jo maine download karke rakhi hai. Saath mei dekhenge tu bas khidki khuli rakhiyo aur kuch khaane ka bhi intezaam kardenaa.

(there's an awesome movie which was released recently and I've downloaded it. We'll watch it together. You just keep the window open and arrange snacks.)

I showed him a thumbs up and again started going towards my house when he shouted.

KABIR: See you tonight then baby!

I turned around with a frustrated groan and showed him my middle finger to which he reacted with his hysterical laugh. He knew how much I hated being called baby and such stuff. I just find it too cringe and he calls me that purposely to get a rise out of me. Dickhead.

I finally entered inside and directly went inside my room only to collapse on my bed and doze off to my dreamland. We had a long night ahead, which was going to be filled with laughter. 

I liked it the most, the time we spent together as best friends. I loved that I was his first priority when it comes to friends and he was my first as well. And I wish to keep it that way.

Me and my crazy best friend. Enough to survive in this world.
