NANDINI'S POV:

Never!

Never in my entire life have I ever argued with a teacher. Never, I repeat. I've always been this obedient little child who never back answers to anyone and just learns to abide and go with the flow. It's not that I do that to attain any teacher's attention or something, it's just my nature. Aunt Aayat says that this part of my nature is a gift from my mom. And if she's the one who says that, it truly must be true. 

Aunt Aayat and maa have been the best of friends this century could ever witness. It feels as if their soul is one which has been split into two parts and then been filled into two different bodies. Sometimes, I do long for a girl best friend like that but I am happy with my fool beside me. And as for a girl best friend, I have Shanvi beside me, though no one could match the legend of Lyka and Aayat. 

Yeah, so coming back to back answering, ufff that was a whole new experience for me. And I didn't feel bad to be honest. I am not telling that back answering a teacher is good but what she did was wrong. Judging a person just by his or her grades is totally not cool and people need to understand that. A person who might not be that great at studies, Can be a total kick ass in their own talent. And Kabir could totally kick anyone's ass in dance and the way this guy plays guitar, Uff.. I have no words. He's a total blockbuster package and people need to understand that grades and marks are not everything. And Kabir had decent grades as well, he could top the test even if he tries hard like me. But that's his choice. He prefers to engage more in co curricular and I totally get it as his interest is clearly visible. 

Okay, I think I should stop fangirling now. But this idiot for sure knew how to convince me. And after today's incident with the teacher, by looking at the way he stood up for me, I was now sure that he wouldn't let me be tormented by anyone. He would always be there for me. 

My heart started to swell up with this thought as I kept my head on the table and started scribbling hearts on it. I was lost in my own little world when I heard the chair beside me moving a bit. I lifted my head to see what was going on and what I saw made me happy and shocked at the same time. 

Kabir and Shanvi had switched seats and now, I had Kabir all to myself. Though I was hella excited, I tried to keep my composure all calm and suited. I was looking at him while he placed his bag properly and turned towards me only to give a wide mouthed smile which had all his 32 teeth in display. I gave him a light smile too. He came closer and ruffled my hair to which I reacted by pushing his hand away. 

KABIR: mela panda abhi bhi naalaaz hai mujhsee? *baby voice*

(is my panda still upset with me?)

NANDINI: Paan thuk ke baat kar. 

(speak properly)

KABIR: Itne pyaar se manaraha hu tujhe. Kadr krle meri tu. 

(I am trying to convince you so sweetly. Value me atleast a bit.)

NANDINI: Teri kadr karti hu tabhi itni jaldi maangayi warna toh tu himalaya jaata sanyaas pe tab bhi naa maanti. 

(I value you that is why I got convinced so easily. Or else I wouldn't be convinced even if you would go to the Himalayas and live as a saint.)

KABIR: garam ladki.

(angry woman.)

NANDINI: Seedha seedha bol hot hu mai. 

(Tell directly that I am hot.)

Ok, I wasn't expecting myself to utter something like that. Not.at.all. 

This is totally something that I would never say. And after looking at his reaction, I could say that he was shocked as well. His mouth was wide opened and his face looked pale. 

Doomed. 

KABIR: where did that come from?

NANDINI: I-I h-have n-no I-Idea.

KABIR: No seriously, who taught you that?

NANDINI: No one!

KABIR: then how would you-

NANDINI: Sab teri sangat ka asar hai.

(It's all because of you.)

KABIR: maine kya kiya?

(What did I do?)

NANDINI: Bak bak karna bandh kar aur class pe dhyaan de. duffer.

(Stop chatting and pay attention to the class. Duffer.)

KABIR: dogle log.

(unfaithful people)

NANDINI: yeah sure. 

I gave him a fake smile and again turn towards the board as the class was about to start. He was right, none of it was his mistake. But was I going to agree? nope. there's no way I would. 

What? he was the one who gave my seat to someone else. Doesn't matter if he came and sat beside me nevertheless. 

This thought alone brought a faint smile on my face. I wasn't the only one who didn't like being away, he equally craved to be by my side too. 

END POV.

TIME SKIP

DETENTION HALL

KABIR'S POV:

Right now we are in the detention hall. I am sitting right beside her being completely bored as she continued making her sketches. I spent the entire day in school beside her. Even during the lunch hour, I was stuck to her. I don't know, but staying away from her just didn't feel right. She has that aura, for me atleast. Even when she scolds, I feel happy. You might call me crazy, but it is what is. I am crazy for my best friend. And I can never imagine myself being separated from her.

That thought alone sends shivers through out my body. 

I lowered my head and placed it on the bench sideways while my hands rested below it. It was a great position for me to watch her as she kept scribbling whatever that was on a paper. 

Nandu, whenever she is sketching, is a sight to cherish. Her eyes narrowed down on the part that she's working. Her lips forming  cute little pout. Her hair a bit messy as she forgets to correct them while she is deeply involved in her work. Her forehead having those creases.

Treat to the eyes. 

I kept looking at her mesmerizing face while a few stray strands that had now escaped from the hair tie that was holding her hair into a tight pony tail were now flying away like they were those free birds who wanted to fly away to destinations unknown and live their life. No matter what an elegant sight that was, those strands were blocking her angelic face from my line of vision, hence I did my eyes a favor being the gentleman that I was. I slowly forwarded my hand towards her face and tuck those strands behind her ear. 

Upon viewing her entire face clearly, a smile automatically appeared on my face. She lifted her face to look at me as I performed that gesture. She raised a brow at me while her face clearly showed that she was confused. I just chuckled at her and shook my head indicating it was nothing and she continued to do her sketching after giving me a glare full of disbelief. 

I continued staring at her and while looking at her sketching, I was reminded of that one sketch I had seen in her room that night. That sketch of us. It held so much of happiness. That happiness we have in our real life. Us together equals to happy. My smile widened as I remembered that sketch and my heart filled with warmth as I imagined how hard she would've worked on that sketch. And this little overwhelming feeling of mine lead me to do what I did next, and shocked the both of us. 

I gently lifted my head up and move nearer towards. It was either that she didn't notice my movement or was that she chose not to react. But however, what I did next did earn a reaction from her. I moved my face nearer to hers and placed a gentle peck on her cheek. She immediately jolted with a shock and turned her face to look at me. And as I was still near her face, the proximity was too much. Judging by her act of distancing, I think she felt the same as well. 

Her face said it all. She was hella shocked wanted to know why I did it. Well, can't blame her. I was still oblivious myself as to what had happened to me. I just shook my head at her and distanced myself from her.

I could feel my heart race so bad that I was afraid it would stop. There was a red hue on her face which was covering mine as well. The environment was both comfortable and awkward at the same time. I don't know if anything like that exists but at that point, those were the only words I could use to explain everything. 

It had already been more that 15 minutes that the silence had engulfed the room, and not liking it, I decided to break it. 

KABIR: you're not upset with me right? I mean, I don't like it when you are upset with me.

I could see her fiddling with her fingers from the corner of my eyes and her head was lowered a bit too. 

NANDINI: nope, I am fine. 

KABIR: Pakka?

(you sure?)

NANDINI: bilkul waala pakka.

(100% sure)

I smiled at her and nodded my head and there was silence again.

I hate it when me, she and silence were there in the same room. It should be me, her and laughter. So, I decided to break it once again.

KABIR: umm.. teko bura toh nai laga naa? matlab maine jo abhi kiya mujhe bhi nahi pata tha kya hua woh bas aise hi-

(Umm you didn't feel bad right? I mean what I did just now I don't know what I did, it just happened.)

She cut me off by placing her finger and shook her head indicating a no again.

NANDINI: no.. I-I didn't f-feel b-bad.

I just smiled a little and nodded while scratching the back of my neck.

Whatever this is, its weird. And I don't what these new feelings I am having inside me that I am behaving like a fool. 

I was lost in my own thoughts this time when I heard her speak again. 

NANDINI: But you still have to buy me momos. In fact, that's the only thing that convinced me. 

This girl and her love for momos. I knew that this trick would work on her. Whole purpose behind all that you know. 

I slightly chuckled at her and turned to face her. 

KABIR: You can have as many as you want. I am ready to spend all my allowance on you today. 

She giggled a little and turned towards me and faced me completely. 

NANDINI: laa abhi chocolates de jo tere bag mei hai. tune bola tha na dega. 

(Come on now give me the chocolates lying inside you're bag. You told me that you'll give them to me.)

KABIR: yeah yeah, have them all. Anyhow I keep these for you. 

I opened my bag and handed her the box of chocolates I had with me which she accepted with a huge smile and a happy squeal. 

She opened it immediately and didn't even wait for a moment before feeding upon the first piece. 

A satisfying moan left her mouth as her face shouted of happiness and her smile being contagious, brought a smile on my face as well. 

She unwrapped another one, but this time passed it to me. I happily accepted it as I knew she would never eat something all alone without sharing it with me. This is who Nandu was. She shared all her happiness, but wept alone in her sorrow. 

We were now at a comfortable level and chatting away like our lives depended on it while I heard a ping on my phone. 

I grabbed it from my pocket to check who that was and seeing the name, a smile automatically formed on my face. 

Mihika. 

I told nandu that it was important and that I had to go out to receive it and she just smiled a little and nodded. 

After passing her another smile, I came out to call Mihika. 

END POV

NANDINI'S POV:

Everything is going well. And I won't lie, I did like it when he pecked my cheek today. 

Maybe, Shanvi was right. Maybe, he liked me genuinely and Mihika was nothing.

Maybe-

The trail of my maybe's was interrupted when I heard the door opening. I turned to look at who was it and finding Kabir there a smile automatically appeared on my face. 

But what he told next, cracked up my entire smile and my face fell into sorrow. 

KABIR: Nandu, I am really sorry panda. But we'll have to cancel the momos plan. And I have something really important to tell you....
