The Story Of Every Indian Teenager

Chapter 3: What the hell just happened?!

Hello guys! OK, so this one's a first! Sid's point of view! yipee! I am excited. also my internet has been restricted because I have my finals in Feb. I'll try to update as frequently, but no promises. Hindi word of the day "pyaar-love".

Enjoy!!

SID OBEROI

I watched her. My eyes never leaving her. There was something captivating about her. Caramel skin, straight jet black hair bouncing around her face as she moved and beautiful darkbrown eyes - almost black.

Her reaction was hilarious when I told her I loved her. So gullible. She actually believed me! A smile crept up my face at that thought. She's funny too. I like funny girls.

All in all I'd say she was someone I'd like to bang! Yeah, I don't do love. Sorry if I disappointed you, but I am a bad boy. Hey, don't judge me. When one has a body of a sex god, they get girls to there knees. So, I am used to getting what I want. Sex. But India is different. Girls don't fall for my charms easily. I wonder why.

"Dude, you won't get her!" Arnav said.

He was a good friend of mine. I lived in New York with my mom after my mom and dad got divorced. My mom was born and brought up in America but my dad belonged to Delhi. That is how I know Arnav, we met one summer when I came to India in my vacation. I moved in with dad to finish high school because my mom died. I loved her. Dad?! Not much! He wants me to be like him when I am nothing close.

"What do you mean?!" I asked Arnav.

"I mean the one you were staring. Is she the..."

"Yeah, she's the one." I assured him, cutting him off. "Why won't she fall for me?"

"I can just tell by the way she smiles. You see there?" he said pointing at another girl beside mine -MINE?- clinging on another guy.

"She is the kinds boys like hanging around. They flirt with everyone. The other type is like your girl. They are friendly and understanding. Guys end up marrying girls like them."

"She's not my girl. Though I'd like to bang her." I said in a-matter-of-fact tone.

"Whatever you say..." he teased. The theater doors opened and we waited for the queue to clear.

Just as I found my seat I saw MY GIRL - note the sarcasm - there at the seat beside mine.

She seemed annoyed at the fact that she would have to sit beside me but she tried not to show her dislike. The movie started and she kept ignoring me. I don't know why, but I wanted her to like me so I tried to catch her attention and smiled at her. NOTHING, she reacted to nothing.

"Hey." I said.

I tried again when she didn't say anything. "umm... are you mad at me or anything?"

"Why would you think that?" Finally, she replied! I grinned at her.

"Because you were ignoring me?"

"Well, my mom told me not to talk to strangers. I think your's never did, did she?" Ouch. That hurt, low blow girl.

"Maybe I have my own mind to decide what I should do."

"Yeah? Well so do I, but maybe I think she is right and you just want to be a rebel kid which is why you don't listen to her?!" OK I think she is really mad at me for that dare.

"Ahh.... well if you are mad at me, I want you to know that my friends dared me to tell the prettiest girl I find in the room that I loved her. And I said it to you." I said biting my lip. That was cheesy, not cool man! But it was true.

"OK" she said, her tone softening a bit. I could see her relaxing a bit. Well mom you were right, honesty IS the best policy. After that we both fell silent and watched the movie.

"What's your name?!" I asked now curious. The pretty face has to have a pretty name too.

"I still don't talk to strangers." She shot back. Only this time I knew she was not angry.

"Come on! My name's Sid. See now you know me."

"No I don't."

"please?" I pleaded. Today was a bad day for me.

"SweetWEDDINGOFCrAcKeRs!! Would you shut up?!" At that I started laughing. People who were sitting around me got pissed and threw popcorn at me. But I couldn't stop laughing. She was so cute!

"You. Are. Too good." I choked between my fits of laughter.

I calmed down but the smile never left my face throughout the movie. Which was shit to be honest.

After it was over I moved out only to find Arnav hitting on some girl. Dude, seriously. I sometimes thought he was gay.

I saw the cracker girl come out with her friends. A brown haired girl was being clingy to a dark wavy haired guy who was talking to my cracker girl. I feel like punching him.

Calm down. Remember, she's not that kinda girl, I told myself.

She saw me as I walked towards her. Everyone gave her a knowing look - why were they teasing her? - before they all went out of hearing distance to give us some privacy.

As I was about to say something her clingy girl friend chirped as she approached us "Hey, I am Tanya and you are hot." Cracker girl rolled her eyes.

I smirked at her after flirting back "well, so are you."

"Tanya, Dhruv won't be happy with this." Cracker girl said with narrow eyes.

"Oh come on! Not now!!" cried Tanya.

"Who's Dhruv?" I asked.

"My best friend and Tanya's boyfriend." she said to me. "I would stop flirting if I were you or he'd break your nose."

"You talk as if you are his girlfriend." I said through gritted teeth.

"Why do you care?" cracker girl snapped.

"Ridhi, I'll be with the group." she turned to face me before shoving a piece of paper in my hand. "Bye hottie. Call me." She winked at me and left.

Cracker girl just glared at Tanya, disappointed.

" So... you are Ridhi?" I asked.

"Ridhima" she sighed.

"Alright Ridhima, I just wanted to say sorr-" I never got to complete because the dark wavy haired guy - who I suppose was Dhruv - came out of nowhere.

"Don't look to your right. Mrs. Das is here and she saw you with this guy and took out her phone. I think she's calling your dad." he said to Ridhima.

"Fudge!" she cursed. Not. But, she sounds so cute. "Dhruv do something." she pleaded him.

He looked at her before turning to me. "Sorry mate" he said to me and then punched me in the face.

What The Hell Just HApPEnEd?! I was too stunned to talk.

Rage. It slowly crept in. As I was about to punch him back I saw the pleading look Rihdima gave me.

Maybe there was more to everything than I thought.

I saw her turn and leave with him. I might be confused about everything but I knew one thing for sure.

This shit happened only in India!
