The Classy Thirteen

The Play

Prerna's POV:

"How was the date? Did you enjoy?" Samyra smirked at me after I took a seat next to her in the canteen.

"What date? What are you talking about" I didn't get her.

"Come on girl now you'll hide things from me? Your bestfriend? How mean, we all know that you went on a date last night." Samyra stated.

"Who told you about that?" I asked her.

"Reyan Purohit, the stalker." Sarthak replied.

"And you believed him? I wish I knew some swear words. I was literally busy making notes at home, I didn't go anywhere." I replied before everyone stared into Reyan's soul.

"By the way Prerna, Professor Alex was looking for you I guess." Sara stated.

"What? He doesn't even know my name, stop kidding." I replied.

"He does, you never know maybe he notices you the way you notice him. Maybe he also looks at you the way you look at him when you're not looking." Sara exclaimed.

"He's literally my teacher, it doesn't even sound appropriate." I replied.

"Tell me the name of the book, in which it's written that the teacher and student of almost same age cannot date." Sara rolled her eyes.

"But how do you know that I do stand a chance with him? What if he has a girlfriend? How can you say that he's into me?" I asked her.

"The eyes Chico, they never lie." Sara looked into my eyes dramatically.

"What do you mean?" I raised a brow.

"God this outdated woman doesn't know anything, it's a famous dialogue from Al Pacino's movie 'Scarface.'" Sarthak replied.

"Shut up, I know that. I meant to say that did any of you saw him looking at me?" I asked.

"I did, last Saturday in Biology's lecture he was looking at you the way I look at Song Kang." Reyan blushed.

"Which song? How can you look at a freaking song?" Samyra looked confused.

"This man is abnormal, he needs mental help." Sarthak remarked.

"Oh you shut up, he is a famous K drama actor." Reyan replied.

"Whatever" Samyra sighed.

"Stop dreaming of getting handsome actors, eventually you will get an old, rich and married man." Sarthak said and everyone except Reyan erupted into laughter.

"Where's your dearest best friend Mayank?" Reyan asked me.

"How would I know? He must be busy with his girlfriend." I assumed.

"Someone is jealous." Rohit said looking everywhere but me.

"Why would I be jealous?" I frowned.

I don't wanna sound jealous but Mayank' s girlfriend Priscilla just pisses me off. That wannabe barbie doll acts innocent and sweet as honey but deep down she's jealous of my friendship with Mayank.
I'm saying this because she never leaves him alone, doesn't even let him talk to me without doing stupid things around to seek his attention. Anyway, what can even be done when your best friend is blindly in love. Even if I try to talk to Mayank about this, he'll probably think that I'm jealous of his girlfriend. At this point, all I can do is just remember the good old days when this pick me woman wasn't a part of his life.

I was just lost in my own thoughts before I heard a notification from my phone, it was Mayank. He sent pictures of last night. He was looking handsome though.
