"Who he?" I queried as I sat on the chair.. Before he could reply, I heard few gasps from the female breed in our canteen and almost each and everyone's eyes were darted at the canteen's entrance. I saw a broad shouldered guy with medium golden brown hair making an heroic entry in the canteen. My jaw almost fell to my feet not only in awe but also in shock on seeing who that hero was. I realized why Sarthak and Hiral were smirking at me. I realized who Nick was talking about. As he was making his way to our table, my eyes were completely fixed on him. He had worn a khaki printed shirt and his medium golden brown hair were dressed into spikes. Confidence, charm, glamour and liveliness was radiating out of him. He ran a hand through his hair and the females around became self-conscious. They tried to grab his attention and he offered a smile to them. As he stood near the table, Khushi, Juhi and Muskaan jumped off their seats and gave a bear hug to him. Besties, huh.. After all that stuff, he sat exactly opposite to me. His eyes fell on me and he smirked. I very well knew what that smirk meant. Everyone on the table were talking very cheerfully while I kept complete mum. I didn't dare utter any word. I was shocked. I could not comprehend this piece of information. My tongue was tied into knots and words did not seem to escape my mouth. Helpless! That's what I felt. Complete Helpless!

"Aaru, we were talking about him. He is Vivaan, caption of the college's cricket team", Nick casually said. A sinister grin crawled on Vivaan's face while I was totally appalled.

"So you came till here, following me huh", he calmly replied with a sly expression on his face. I am not scared of him. So what he is college's most popular guy. So what he is captain of the cricket team? So what he is their best friend? He can't rule me. He in no ways can talk to me in this manner.

"What are you? A celebrity? That I will follow you. God knows how did you even get admission in this college. The cut off is 92%. And your behaviour points out your IQ to be 0. How the hell did you even get admission here? I howled while he damn smirked.

"He studied in the school which is run by the same trust... so you see... he is an inhouse student, Sarthak answered the question.

"How is that even possible? To be an inhouse student for this college, you at least need to secure 85%".I rebuked while all the others were gaping at me as if I spoke Spanish.

"What?" I hissed at everyone.

"He got 94.20%", all chorused.

Oh frek! I made a big fool of myself. But how can he secure such good...uhh..damn him

"Oh", I coyly replied and that give him one more chance to smirk. I really cannot bear this anymore. Why the hell does he smirk so much?

"What is with you and smirking? Have you and your face muscles signed a contract or something to always keep smirking?" I shooted.

All my friends were now watching me with their mouth hanging open.

"What?" I hissed once again.

"You are something man... no other girl except Muskaan, Khushi and Juhi has ever talked to him in this manner. I am impressed", Jay piped in.

I did not know what to answer at this so I decided to keep mum.

"Anyways, how do you guys know each other?" Nick puzzled and others nodded. I looked at Vivaan who was sitting right opposite to me. Good this time, he was not smirking but held no expression either.
