His One & Only

Acquaintance from school

Anshuman's POV

"So students remember to submit your assignment by next week" the professor said and left the class.

"Ye assignment mere maut ki wajah banegi"
Pulkit sighed.
(This assignment will be the reason of my death)

"Bro calm down it's can't be that tough" shreyas said to encourage pulkit.

"Easy for you to say, topper"

"Okay guys chill why are we stressing now, we still have time" I said to both of them.

Just then pulkit's phone beeped and he typed something.

"Guys let's go to the canteen a friend of mine wants to meet you guys" pulkit suggested

"Which friend? " I asked, I never knew pulkit could make friends this quickly.

"A friend from literature club" pulkit answered

I nodded now I understand how pulkit made a friend so soon. Pulkit loves literature and anything mildly related to literature. Seriously this guy can talk about hours if it is about novels and poems. If it weren't for maasi's wish he wouldn't be here studying chemistry,  he wanted be a writer but had to abandon his wishes for maasi's sake.

We reach the canteen and Pulkit leads us to his friend who is supposedly there with his friends. As far as I know Pulkit's friend is a physics major student. Samarth is also a physics major student wonder what he is doing. I didn't see him this morning maybe he had early morning classes so he left early. He avoids me and I just don't like it.

"Hey Pulkit here" we hear someone's voice

"Hey lakshya" Pulkit answered turning to that voice.

We walk towards the table and greet the two guys sitting there.

"Hi I am shreyas and he is Anshuman" shreyas said

"Hi I am lakshya and he is anirudh" lakshya introduced his friend with a genuine friendly smile.

We sat there and pulkit started the conversation.

"Lakshya didn't you say you are with two of your friends" Pulkit asked

"Yeah he just went to get a bottle of water"

"So Pulkit where are you from" anirudh asked and I can see he does not like Pulkit that much for no apparent reason.

Before Pulkit could answer I heard a very familiar voice calling lakshya.

"Lakshya dude Narmada was asking for you, what's going on between you too" I turned around and to my utter surprise it's none other  my dear roommate.

"You, what are you doing here" he was just as surprise as me.

"Oh hi Samarth, glad to see you here" I said sarcastically.

"You guys know each other" lakshya asked

"He is my roommate" Samarth answered

"And his acquaintance from school" I finished his sentence

"Oh please we are very far from acquaintance" he rolled his eyes.

"Wait you are Samarth, finally I get meet you after spending years of listening Anshuman complain about you in every sleepover" Pulkit said,  seriously this guy can't keep anything to himself.

"Okay just shut up everyone" lakshya chimed in and continued talking ''Samarth this is Pulkit my friend from literature club and this is shreyas his friend and this is Anshuman you seem to know him very well so no need for introduction"

Samarth sat down and passed a bottle of water to his friends.

"Wait before I forget Sam you said that narmada was asking for Lakshya " anirudh asked having curiosity visible in his face.

"Yeah she said she had something to tell him, I think she is finally going to stop using her horrendous flirting skill and confess to lakshya" Samarth said with a mischievous smile.

"See I told you not to give her false hope when you have no interest" anirudh said to lakshya and I could feel he was really annoyed for some reason.

"Did I say that I have no interest, I might like her if I try" lakshya said calmly

"You know you don't like her so stop lying to yourself" anirudh argued

"You talk like you know so much about my feelings" lakshya said and I could feel his anger that he was trying to hide

"Wait guys let's not argue" Pulkit said hoping to stop the argument that was about to start.

And the argument stopped, we all ordered something and as expected samarth avoided me with all his might. He talked to everyone except me,he did not even look at me once.

We left after a while and I had one more class to attend and than music club practice. It was now 4 pm and it was time for me to go for music practice.

I walked towards the music room and saw an unexpected figure standing outside the music room.

"Roomie" I called my very dear roommate and he looked towards me with a sort of shocked expression and I knew just like me he did not expect to see me there.

"You, what the fuck are you doing here Anshuman" he said looking upwards me and my name from his mouth sounds so......I don't know but it feels weird.

"Exactly for the same reason you are here for" I answered with a smug smile.

"Don't try to oversmart me" he said rolling his eyes.

"Oh you guys are here why are you standing in there come in" one of our seniors called us in putting a pause in our bickering

We entered the room and the seniors explained the club rules and upcoming events we need to participate in and also told us about the timetable for practice.

With that we talked for a little bit and our club president ranvir bhaiya told us how we need to bond with each other so we can play well without messing up. I glanced at Samarth, he was listening with full attention and he looked kinda......I don't know I can't explain.
