Best Friends Forever(#YourStoryIndia)

Diya put her hands on her head and groaned, "Why the fuck did I take Biology? When are we going to finish this?"

Afreen, Diya and I were in the library since morning writing our Journal for zoology lab. I stopped drawing and stretched my arms and sighed, "I have no clue. The she devil will kill us if we submit it late."

While Diya and I were struggling to finish our record, Afreen was coolly studying having finished all her work.

Afreen chided me, "Don't call Sheela mam that. You guys should have started last week instead of today."

I rolled my eyes at her and looked down from our seats to see Harsh on the floor below us.

"Oh god, pray he doesn't look up and see us." I said.

Diya gave me a mischievous smile and called out, "Hey Harsh. We are up here."

"Hey no shouting." The librarian scolded her.

Harsh signalled that he would come up.

I glared at her while she smiled cheekily at me.

"Hey guys, you done with the work." He asked, sitting next to me.

"No. So much is there." Diya complained.

"Yeah. Same here. Need to complete it. Looking good Ana." he said, looking at me.

"Thanks." I said.

I felt my face heat up. I corrected my huge spectacles, frustrated. I was wearing a peach coloured sleeveless kurti with white leggings. I had straitened my wavy hair (yeah I was doing this instead of writing my record) and left it open.

Both Afreen and Diya were smirking at me. I gave them my best shut up glare.

I got up and said, "Let's go. I'm beat. Will complete it after going home."

We said our goodbyes to Harsh and made our way out of college.

All the way to the bus stop they were teasing me about Harsh. We sat down on the bench to wait for the bus.

Afreen said, "I had a dream this morning guys."

"Okay. Let's hear it. Your dreams are always crazy." I said, grinning at her.

She stuck her tongue out at me and said, "Fine. I won't tell. It felt so real and it was about you."

"Itna bhav kyun kha rahi hai. I was kidding. Tell now." I said.

She got all excited and said, "I dreamt that you would meet your knight in shining armour and fall madly in love with him."

I bust out laughing, " Yeah. Good, it was only a dream. Have you seen me? who would fall for plain old me."

We saw the bus arriving. Before Afreen climbed the bus, she turned back and said, "He was wearing a blue shirt in my dream. Watch out for a blue shirt guy." She laughed.

Diya was looking at my shocked face in amusement.

We had just come to drop Afreen to the bus stop. Now we headed back to the college parking to collect Diya's Scooter.

"Thinking about a blue shirt guy?" Diya teased me. I had been quiet all the way to the parking.

I blushed and said, "What? Of course not. I was just thinking about how to complete the record. We still need to go to the mall."

Diya groaned, "I had forgotten about that. Can we tell them we won't come?"

"We can't. Sanjana already texted me and asked us to wait here." I said.

Sanjana, Meghana, Diya and I were supposed to go to the mall to buy a gift for Chavi whose birthday was next week.

Diya made a face while I shook my head at her childish behaviour. Sanjana and Meghana came and the four of us left for the mall.

We bought Chavi a beautiful jewellery set and were heading to the food court when Sanjana's phone rang.

She looked at the caller id and grimaced before answering, "Hey."

She moved away from us for privacy. She looked to be in a heated conversation with the person on the other line. All the three of us exchanged knowing glances. She was most likely talking to her boyfriend Sahil. Both were equally hot headed and most of the times were found fighting. She finally finished the call and marched towards us.

"I'm sorry guys. I have to leave." she said, airily. 

"Everything okay, Sanju?" Meghana asked concerned.

"It's fine." Sanjana snapped at her.

Diya and I supressed our smiles. Though we were all friends, Meghana wanted to be Sanjana's bff, though Sanjana could care less. She only cared about herself and she made people do her work for her and she had many people running around her to do her errands out of which Meghana was one too. 

"Meghs, stay if you want. it's only 4. I have to go." She said. I could see that she didn't want Meghana to tag along with her.

"No. no. Sanju. I will go with you." Meghs said.

They said their goodbyes and Sanjana rolled her eyes at us behind Meghana's  back.

"Is it wrong to call one of our friends a bitch?" I asked Diya, watching them leave.

"Sanjana is a bitch." Diya said, dryly and we both busted out laughing.

We made our way to the third floor to the food court.  We got our food and made our way to find an empty table. It was very crowded. I had a tray of food in one hand and a cold coffee in another. I stopped in the middle of the food court trying to fix my glasses as they were slipping off my face.

"Fuck." I heard a very angry male voice cry out.

I saw Diya looking at me shocked.

I finally looked up to see a muscular shirt clad chest dripping with cold coffee, my cold coffee. Shit. I was so busy trying to right my glasses that I didn't notice that I had spilled my coffee on someone.
