REVA POV

Today I was late for my college, so I decided to skip first lecture and directly attend the second one which was psychology.

Reaching the class I went toward my seat, but I saw someone sitting there, he looked new, getting closer to him I saw his face, he looked handsome and nice.

"I'm sorry but this is my seat, can you go and sit somewhere else." I told him, his eyes met mine and then he- he just ignored me like I'm not standing here and talking to him. I take my words back he is not nice he is an asshole, narcissist but still handsome guy.

"Excuse me, are you deaf, get up and sit somewhere else." He looked around the classroom then again faced me and said "There are plenty of seats vacant, you can sit there, unless you are blind"
The Audacity he have, before I could reply, the professor entered and saw us, he just shook his head as if he knew what was happening here.

"Reva, please sit somewhere else, he is new here we should make them feel comfortable" He said to me. Staring at him in disbelief, I turned and saw that guy opening his books, I sat somewhere else.

"Today we are going for a new topic to discuss it's whether a war is necessary a evil thing?, can someone share there views on this topic?" He asked the whole class.

I raised my hand, be gestured me to speak,
" I think war leads many of people to die, it disturbs the peace and harmony of our world, so war is an evil thing, it should not happen." I spoke my answer as soon as I finished another hand rose, it was his hand, "Yes Atharva do you have a counter view on it, please speak" the professor said.

"I slightly disagree with Ms. Reva's view, was should be avoided for our betterment, but sometimes war are necessary, to fight for what's right, to fight for our own rights war is necessary and was doesn't always means, guns and killing others, it can also be in a non-violence way, so war is not necessarily evil." He spoke with confidence and turn to look at me, we both kept staring at each other but both of our egos were too big to back down.

"Very well said both of you" the professor said sensing the tension between us.
The class continued and soon it was over.

As soon as it concluded I took my bag and rushed out. What is his problem, he was the one who sat at my place and showing me attitude.

Walking towards cafeteria, I saw shyra talking to some guy so I went towards her,
"Hey, Shyra I was going to the cafeteria, you coming?" I asked her, the guy she was talking to, I've never seen him, might be new .

She looked at me and replied " Ohh Reva meet Karan, my new friend and karan she is my bestfriend, Reva." She introduced us both I smiled at him politely. Then she continued, " Um Reva, I already had my lunch with Karan you go on." I was shocked to hear this, we both always have our lunch together, so this is suspicious, noting to myself, to question her about this new guy I walked off.

The rest of the day passed smoothly, but I still have 3 more classes together with that narcissist guy.

Its been two week since that day and that guy is still a problem, like he never talk to anyone other than Karan, who I got to know ia his best friend.

I was always at the top of all my classes until Atharva happened, it's like a competition between us who scores more like today we got our papers back, I went to cafeteria, Shyra, Karan and Atharva were already there apparently we all sit together because of Shyra, I don't know what's going on between her and Karan but there's definitely something cooking there, they both just are so clueless like guys c'mon just date and kiss each other already. It's mostly them talking, while me and that asshole sit there fighting with eachother like kids.
