Too Close To Perfection

Chapter 3

As we walked to the lecture theatre, Hema asked, "So...why are you two so late? Have you been up to naughty things?".

"No! Someone didn't want to go to school even though someone else was pushing him," I said, defending myself.

"Oh, please. It wasn't like you weren't feeling his biceps!" Sanjana said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Someone blushing lah!" Hema said.

Arun 'oooh'ed and Aadithya asked, "How hard were they gurl? Were they rock hard... like his abs??" ,earning a wide-eyed glare from me. "I did not feel his abs and I think I'd like to keep it that way!" I said.

"For now..." Aadithya muttered. My anger level rose even higher, not because they were teasing us, but because HE was teasing ME.

"I'm sorry, what was that? Mr 'I didn't send those emails'?" I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Dayanita..." Karthi warned.

"Don't like seeing her angry, huh?" Aadithya continued.

"Aadithya. Shut. Up. Now." I said.

"Why? Is loverboy going to hit me for you? Because anything he does will NOT convince us that you two don't like each other." Aadithya retorted.

"I've known her for way more than you have. I know more about her than you do because I was smart enough not to mess with her," Karthi said, earning a surprised look from me.

"What?" He asked,as if he didn't know why I was surprised.

Karthi had done so many things that messed with my head, and I was sure that he knew what.

"You know very well why I'm surprised Karthigeyan." I said, my temper reaching it's limit. I may have a massive crush on him but I hate people acting innocent when they actually are guilty.

"No, I don't," he replied.

"Really? Poking my picture in the prefectorial board with a THUMBTACK? Blocking my email? You think I forgot all that stuff?" I retorted.

"Yeah, I guess so..." he replied sheepishly.

"Why did you even do that?" I asked as we got to our seats.

Sanjana was on one end with Aadithya beside her, me beside him, Karthi beside me, Hema beside him and Arun on the other end.

"I have my reasons. None of which I can tell you about. Go to sleep. It's my turn today." He changed he subject.

We took turns to take notes during lectures to catch up on sleep. It was his turn, but I could see how tired he was.

"Even though I'm mad at you, I'll fail if I let you take notes. You look like you haven't slept in days," I said, examining the dark circles under his gorgeous eyes.

"Okay...?" He replied and hugged his bag to go to sleep.

Halfway during the lecture, he stirred and rested his head on my shoulder. You'd think I would gasp or something, but I didn't. I was so used to his behaviour that I continued writing notes.

"Look!" I heard Aadithya say."She's not protesting or moving! She must enjoy it so much, she's probably squealing on the inside," Sanjana replied, oblivious that I could hear them very well.

Shooting both of them a death glare, I turned back to my notes. Then, when the professor finally stopped for a break, I said, "Why don't you two go back to sticking your tongues down each other's throats and I deal with my stuff."

Of course I loved the feeling of his head on my shoulder, but was I really that stupid to admit that?Noticing the teacher glaring at us to keep quiet, I looked back at my notes.

Aaaaaaah, I was falling in love with my handwriting... Conceited, and a little weird, I know. But, it's what I am!

The rest of the lecture was boring with no conversations as the teacher stayed there for the remaining time.

After the lecture though, Aadithya and Sanjana jumped into conversation. I looked over to Arun and Hema, who were 'flirting'. The inverted commas were needed as I use the word very loosely, even though the two of them were comparing notes.

Making use of my long arms, I picked my bag up and gingerly placed my notebook and pencil case in it, trying not to wake Karthi up. However, he did wake up although I made sure to not make any sudden movements.

"Sorry," I said, feeling guilty for disrupting his sleep.

"Nah, it's fine. You did take notes for us even though I was supposed to do it. And I also pissed you off. But still, you took notes while I slept and you let me use your shoulder as a pillow... so I owe you three times." He replied, grinning.

Oh, gosh. That smile never failed to make my heart beat triple in speed. His lips were so full, and kissable... 

Snap out of it you idiot.

The voice in my head brought me back to reality and I smiled back at Karthi, trying to cover up the fact that I had just been staring at his lips. And thinking about kissing him.

The chances of that actually happening were super low, if you already didn't know, because why would he like me? 

"So... are we still up for tonight?" I asked, in case he changed his mind about hanging out with the random goofball that is me.

"Of course!" He answered, smiling again.

You have no idea what you do to me Karthi...

"Guys, I can't do Wednesday... have to study for Thursday's Econs test. So...Saturday can right?" I asked, getting my friends' attenetion. 

"Fine with me." Arun said

"Yah, me too," Hema also replied.

"Saturday? Umm... yah can," Sanjana said after pondering for a while.

"You?" I asked Aadithya.

"Uh....." He trails off.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Aadithya and I were going to hang at his place on Saturday, but I guess we can do that at your house. Right, Aadithya?" Karthi glares at Aadithya, making him shrink back and say, "Um.. yeah okay."

"Okay, so leggo!" Hema almost yells.

Grabbing all our things, the 6 of us headed to our next lecture. Hema and Sanjana started singing 'Anaconda' by Nicki Minaj really loudly and aadithya and Arun joined in shortly. Meanwhile, Karthi and I were trying to disappear into our notes due to the embarrassment our friends were causing us. I mean, they are my friends and I love them to death, but sometimes they can be-

"LOOK AT HER BUTT!" They all scream in unison

Yes, sometimes they can be so look at her butt...
