Betrayed And Broken✔ [completed]

#25 B&B

Riya.

We all are having breakfast. I peeked at Neev out of the corner of my eyes and get caught.

He smiled at me and nodded, I removed my eyes hurriedly, my poor heart couldn't stand it.

Neev is smiling? actually smiling genuinely after all these days?

It's just a smile, nothing big, come to your senses, Riya!

Ever since I came to know I am in love with him, I was thinking how I should act around him, and I came to a conclusion, I will try to act normally, I don't want to get caught. I know the Aldrick's first rule- never to fall in love with a lower class.

I took the jug and felt pain in my hands.

You deserve it Riya, who in their right mind will sleep in the chair, waiting for some arrogant jerk?

I put the jug back and caught Nivin's eyes again.

Is it just me? or...Is Nivin actually looking at me?

God! I never know being in love is like this, I am now starting to hallucinate too!

"I will go then" I announced and get up.

Before I reached the gate, I heard his voice.

"Riya, wait" Nivin called out.

"What is it? I am a bit late" I said, I don't want to talk to him now, I will calm my heart in a few days and then I can talk to him normally.

"How were the exams? I heard it's your last one today?" he said.

I stared at him.

He can't just act like everything was fine after ignoring me all these days!

"Yea, I am running late, I will see-"

"I will drop you then" he cut across me.

"Um..?"

"I will drop you today," he said, I stared at him.

What's wrong with him? for the past one and half weeks, he didn't even give a second glance at me!

"There's no need, I am okay Nivin, we will talk later" I started to go, but he grabbed my hand.

"Wait," he said.

Oh my God!

I pulled my hand back in shock. Nivin looked a bit surprised.

"Er... It really is okay...I mean...we will talk...later" I said quickly, but he still seemed surprised at my action.

"How are you doing? I heard they are giving you a hard time?" he said. The question threw me off guard.

It's been freaking 11 days Neev! and now you asking me this!

"Nothing I can't manage" I shrugged and winced when my neck hurt.

"What is it?" Nivin looked concerned.

"Nothing Neev, you shouldn't worry about silly things, focus on your work, I promised you I will take care of myself," I said. "bye"

"Riya, I will dro-"

But I had already fled.

Neev.

Riya is avoiding me!

Yes, that is it, she's avoiding eye contact, she pulled her hand back and she seemed too eager to escape.

Why the hell am I getting disappointed?
