My mood is sour by the time we reach home, not because of Saransh but because of all the experiences I have had in my friendships. 

Why am I so unlucky in friendship?

Something bumps against my shoulder and I look up to see Agastya nudging me with his shoulder and then his eyebrow to ask what happened.

I pout then press my lips together while shaking my head.

At least I am lucky in love!

Agastya forwards his hand in front of me and I look at it in confusion before looking up in his eyes. He gestures me to grab it so I keep my palm in his hands and wait.

“I have something to show you” he mutters with a small smile tugging me along with him towards our building.

“You have something to show me?” I gasp and when Agastya turns his head towards me I wiggle my eyebrows suggestively with a scandalous grin on my face.

Agastya flushes slightly as soon as he meets my eyes then looks ahead while slightly shaking his head at my behaviour. “Bring your mind out of the gutter” he mutters.

“Who says my mind is in the gutter?” I frown in confusion “I was talking about your new clothes” I reply back innocently earning a look from Agastya over his shoulder.

“Yes but if you want to show me something else-” I mutter in a low voice before looking down and blushing at the ground “I won't mind” It comes out as a whisper but it's enough to stop Agastya in his tracks.

Turning around without leaving my hand he stares down at me without showing any expressions. I stare at him cautiously then avert my eyes looking around the parking lot.

Agastya leans down leaving just a few inches of gap between our faces. I hold my breath staring at his eyes when they gaze at me intensely.

“How about-” Agastya starts with a low husky whisper moving a little closer till his breath hits my nose. I tentatively look at him when he moves his face closer than before brushing his nose against my cheek.

His lips graze my ear as he whispers “I show you some new math formulas, do you think it will be useful?” he leans back and I immediately miss his warmth.

Wait what-?

My hand immediately strikes his arm as hard as I can and I glare at him while he laughs at his own actions despite the daggers I am throwing his way.

He tugs my hand again not wiping down the smug smile from his face so I try to pull my hand from his hold trying to stay put.

“I don't want to see anything” I mutter with greeted teeth struggling to hold my ground as his hand doesn't budge.

“Why? Not interested in formulas?” He questions smugly, throwing me a look over his shoulder while effortlessly pulling me ahead along with him.

“You and your stupid formulas! Go show it to your Favourite students!”  I mutter angrily still struggling to stop in my tracks and remove my hand from his with the help of both of my hands.

“But you are my favourite student” He simply mutters which halts me in my place. I stop struggling and stare at him.

Agastya looks back at me without the smug smile but a serene expression this time.

“Are you telling the truth?” I ask skeptically pinning my gaze on him.

“I was lying” he replies back with the same expressions and I launch myself on him hitting him everywhere while he laughs not making a move to save himself from me.
