Waste It On Me

●𝟵~𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻●

I waited to enter the dean's office. Tejasswi came behind me and pouted. Okay what is with that expression?

I shrugged my thoughts away and entered along with Tejasswi. Rudra's parents sat with their heads hung low and my parents signed on the sheets. "Thank you for your help, ma'am." I thanked Shruti ma'am after my parents met Tejasswi and left.

"No problem, Tejasswi's my favorite student." She smiled at me. I just nodded and went back to the class. Before I entered, I saw Tejasswi surrounded by all the people there.

"Tejasswi- sorry about whatever happened-"
"Tejasswi, we really didn't want to-"

I entered the class and everyone looked at me. My gaze was enough for them to go back to their seats and Tejasswi picked up her bag and kept it on my seat. "What?"

"I am going to sit with you, cold-face-with-a-giant-heart guy." She grinned before pulling out her books. I suspired and sat down. Before the class could start, Jasmin came towards Tejasswi. Well, of course. I hate making friends for a reason.

"Tejasswi-"

"Jasmin, I do not want to talk to you. And please, do not talk to me ever again." Tejasswi opined and Jasmin looked at me. "Trust your friends before calling them one." Tejasswi added and Jasmin got back to her seat.

That was strong. Maybe some things happen for good.

The sky got darker earlier these days. A month after the mid-sems and I loved what I had scored. A full 40 in each subject. Tejasswi had scored a 40-39-39-39-38, not bad but I was happy.

My academic rival had turned extra sweet to me. She blamed it on gratitude but it didn't look like that. I was exactly the way I had been, quiet, unresponding, and rude.

Sometimes I felt bad behaving with her that way, but that woman had the patience of a rock. I told her to not sit with me, after a week since she spoke a lot.

Everyone in the class apologized to her and she forgave them all. Why should I not call her naive? She has a beautiful heart, but not everyone deserves it. She was an academic rival and I had to make sure I always got a score higher than her. The only person she forgave but never spoke to was Jasmin.

Everytime she smiled at me, I didn't smile back. I don't know why she still pesters me so much. She asks mom to bring me to every event since she's bored. Wasn't she bored earlier? This girl irks me.

Everything about her was a distraction earlier and now she makes sure her actions are too.

I finished the classes for the day and was sitting on the bus stop when I heard the silvery voice shout my name.

"Karan-" She huffed and I closed my eyes shaking my head. Please don't speak woman, I have a lot of work. "I needed to have a word with you."

"Speak in three sentences, or no." I answered and she tapped her head. "Fine."

"Sentence number 1." I looked at her and her eyes widened. "But that's not fair."

"Sentence number 2." She pouted at me. "I love you, Karan."

"Sentence number- what!?" I looked at her in shock.. Did she just say the L- word?

"What-?" I asked again. "I love you." She grinned. "Will you be my boyfriend?" She asked and I looked heavenward.

"No." I answered flatly. I do not love her. I definitely do not like her either. What is wrong with this girl? "I don't love you. Let love, I don't even like you in that way."

"But-"

"Tejasswi, just stay away from me!" I spat harshly and hurried to enter the next bus I saw. Before it left, I saw her pout.

This girl was a trouble. A very big trouble.

I had been indifferent to Tejasswi after the day she proposed to me. And ME? Really, why would she love me? I wasn't even nice to her.

I didn't even smile at her.
I didn't even look at her properly.
I didn't even like her.
