Mr.Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 16

Why is he thanking me?

"Why are you thanking her", Evan asked the question, which was in my mind, with a frown.

"Because she won", he answered like it's the most obvious thing in the world, which isn't in my opinion.

My friends had the same thoughts because all our faced were masked with confusion asking the unspoken question- what's that supposed to mean?

But, apparently, he did not understand that because he raised his eyebrows with a dumbfound expression.

"We know that. We were here, too, you know. What we wanted to know is that why did you thank her for her winning when any sane person would congratulate her", Evan asked scowling at him.

He frowned and then suddenly his face lit up with recognition.

"You didn't know. In fact, nobody knows about it except them", he said.

He was supposed to clear our doubts but instead all he did was increase our confusion. What is he talking about?

"I don't know what the hell you are blabbering about but I know one thing and that is if don't start explaining right now you would regret meeting us", Evan said with a voice which brought chills down my spine. Clearly, Evan's controlling himself judging by the way he is clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly to keep his calm.

"Woah, bro, calm down. I know you all are confused right now, just listen to me first, okay?", he said trying to calm Evan. Although, his words did not affect Evan Ravvs action did. Sensing the tension between them and the Evan's expression Ravvs interwined her hands with his'. I inwardly awed at that.

Sometimes I feel like these two are the most adorable couple, like now, but other times they are like the most irritating people in the world. Bipolar much? I feel so, too.

"I think that you know the bets placed on the competition's candidates, right?", he asked us. We nodded in unison.

"So, I assume that you know about the huge amount on Aadhya", he said and we nodded, again.

"Yeah, about that bet I uh-I may be the one who did that", he admitted sheepishly.

"WHAT?!", we all shouted once his statement registered in our minds. Although, we three shouted the same thing our faces have different expressions. Ravvs shouted with amusement and excitement, Evan's stood mouth wide open with bewilderment while mine was full of shock.

My mind was a mess with different thoughts, mostly questions but one of them was- What is his name?

"What is your name?", I wondered out loud.

"I'm sorry I did not introduce myself properly. My name is Walker, I mean Riddanth Walker", he introduced himself while extending his hand for me to take it. I did not instead I folded my hands and stood with a passive expression. He can't expect me to be friendly with him when he just dropped the bomb.

Evan was about to ask something after coming out of his momentary shock but I beat him at that.

"Why did you do that", I confronted him while trying to look intimidating.

"It's a long story", he shrugged.

"We have time", Ravvs replied almost immediately.

"I'll tell you on one condition", he stated.

"What do you want", Evan asked glaring at him like he is been anticipating those words from him from the moment he met us.

"Nothing much, jus want you people to come to my party tonight", he said.
