Just you and me

Friends

Virat woke up with a determination to prove himself while on the other side of Mumbai a young man was still sleeping. In a yellowish coloured room filled with photos a young man was being dragged out of bed. His name was Rohit Sharma and no one would believe it then but he was the topper of his college. Despite being an extreme sleep lover he too was filled with a determination to prove himself.

As he finally woke up Rohit felt as if something was going to happen today. If it was a good thing or a bad one Rohit couldn't tell. Rohit rushed to the bathroom to brush and shower while Virat was already finishing his breakfast. Both men oblivious to the fact that this day could shape up rest of their lives.

Rohit was greeted on the college main door by his friends Shreyas and Jadeja. In the trio Shreyas was the flirty one, Jaddu was the crazy one and Rohit was the sane yet sleepy one. Shreyas and Jaddu were not as good in studies as Rohit but they were good at heart. This quality made Rohit prefer them over others who just wanted to stick up to him. The three friends hugged as they were excited to start a new semester of college. As they walked through the doors, the girls and boys fangirled over the sexy trio while Rohit's nemesis Aakash burned in the corner.

Virat nervously stepped into college but he suddenly collided with someone just after taking two steps in. They both fell due to the force of the collision.
"Are you mad bhe*****" The person cursed involuntarily as all his books scattered on the floor. Virat looked at the person in surprise as he helped him get up and collected his books off the floor.
"Are you from Delhi?" Vi asked while the person dusted himself
"Yes. How do you know?" The person questioned
"You cursed. Only Delhiites can curse that word with such fluidity." He laughed as put his hand forward.
"I am Rishabh." The person said shaking his hand
"Virat." Vi smiled

"Rishuuu. I told you so many times not to run." A person scolded them from behind
"Kul man stop behaving like my mother." Rishi said making a face
"You should start behaving then. You even made this poor man fall down." Kul said finally catching up to the two of them.
"He is my friend. He is from Delhi, we are practically brothers." Rishabh said pulling Vi close
"Are you new here?" Kul asked
"Yes." Vi said shyly
"I am Kuldeep, you can call me Kul." Kul said forwarding his hand
"I am Virat." Vi introduced
"If you want we can accompany you here in the college." Kul offered as Virat gladly accepted. Virat couldn't believe his luck. He got two new friends who were so good to him on the first day itself. He smiled as he walked through the college chatting with his friends.

Aakash was Rohit's nemesis from the 2nd year of college. They used to be friends but when Rohit succeeded him in studies he started to despise him. Instead of studying Aakash focused on girls, cigarettes and parties. His jealousy intensified as Rohit became well known in college because of his good nature while he was stuck with a loser tag. In his heart he believed that Ro had somehow deceived him and he always looked at new ways to be a thorn in his way. Seeing people love Rohit so much, his eyes narrowed as his anger boiled.

Akash made his way to the main building with a scheme plotting in his mind. He pushed an innocent looking boy who was in his way. The boy was just about to fall when Rohit caught him by his hand. When the boy thought he was in a stable position, Rohit let go of his hand. Alas, due to the slippery path because of the Mumbai rain, the boy slipped. Rohit and the boy both chuckled at the irony of the situation. From afar to Virat it looked as if a boy had pushed another boy down. He couldn't see the boy on the floor but he saw Rohit laughing. 'What a jerk' he mentally thought.

As all of them settled on their regular seats, Virat entered with Kul and Rishabh. He introduced himself to the teacher who greeted him back. The teacher introduced Virat to the class as he looked around. His eyes got stuck on Rohit as he recognised him. Rohit had a pleasant smile on his face as he made eye contact with his new class mate. Virat having a wrong image of Rohit found the smile to be a sign of cockiness. He face lightly frowned which made Rohit uncomfortable. "What does this new guy think of himself?" Rohit wondered.

The teacher distributed the sheets of the exam to the students. They had been informed about the test yesterday and since Virat was new he was asked to sit separately in front of the class. Halfway through the exam, Ro opened his drawer to retrieve his bottle when he discovered it to be full of chits. His face whitened as Aakash smirked.

"Rohit, what is this?" The teacher questioned unable to believe that such a bright student would use any such techniques
"Ma'am I have no idea. I didn't do this." Rohit defended himself
"Then who did this?" The teacher glared at him
"I am sure Aakash had done this." Rohit knew the culprit

The teacher unable to come to a decision decided to ask Virat who was an eye witness on the front seat.
"Virat, did you see anything suspicious?" She asked
Virat looked at Aakash who feigned a look of innocence. He then looked at Rohit who he had himself made a bad image of in his mind. He did not know anything about the dynamics between the two. He decided to say the truth as he didn't see Aakash move. In reality Aakash had done this before class which Virat was oblivious to.
"No ma'am. Rohit did it." He said confidently
