You Belong With Me | Completed

CHAPTER - 5 Friends?

Mitu(short for Mitali): So Shayantani, tell me more about this red lady? Like, why do people like her so much? Apart from her looks she has nothing much to boast about.She is a little dumb too. Then how on earth is she so popular?

Mitali had spent all her life in Dehradun, where people were liked because of their skills not beauty. This was something new to her.

Shanu: That is what happens here, Mitali. People judge you based on how you look. Like that's not even in our hands, but still people would that. I honestly don't know why.

Mitu: That's something new.....and weird.

Shanu: Tapasya is the Queen B of this college. She has been for like 5 years. She has good looks, money, and practically everything a guy wishes to see in a girl. She is very arrogant, though.

Mitu:(sarcastically) Yeah, I got a glimpse of that.

Shanu: Yeah, right. You know, other than the professors, the only people I have seen her talk to nicely is Adi and Ruhaan.

Mitu: Oh, about that. What is up with this Ruhaan guy? I mean is he like her tail or something?

Shanu: I don't know yaar. Sometimes that seems true. But again, if you have a crush on someone, you always like to be around him/her.

Mitu: Don't know about that. I never had one.

Shanu: Ok,... you're giving me shocks one after another. First you said that you weren't in the least attracted to Adi and second, you're telling me you never had a crush! Dude....

Mitu: Look, there were not so many options. The town I used to live in was so small, that every other person knew my name. All of them were like my brothers. So, never had a chance to develop a crush or something.

Shanu: Ooo, I think I need to visit your place.

Mitu: Sure, anytime. You're always gonna be special as you're the first ever friend of mine in Mumbai.

Shanu: Aww, that's so nice of you. Surely, Mitu, we'll grow up to be great friends, you'll see.

Saying that they high-fived each other and went out of the canteen.

Mitu: Oops, I almost forgot. I need to collect my timetable and stuff from the office.

Shanu:(glancing at her watch) But I have a class now, re. And I need to attend it. It's kind of an important one.

Mitu: That's fine,yaar. Just tell me the direction I'll find it out myself.

Shanu: Ok,then go straight , then turn left. It's towards the end of first floor.

Mitu: Alright..(after a moment of thought) Hey, if I need to contact you, what would I do?

Shanu(dramatically):Just remember me and I'll be there.

Mitu: O my God , that's so cheesy!But, seriously, how am I gonna contact you?

Shanu: Here, take down my number.

They exchanged their numbers and waved each other goodbye.And went on their opposite paths....

Ananya and Daksh walked their way to the university campus.The air was chilling cold, after all it was the middle of February.As they reached Ganguly sir's office, they found him sitting in his chair, and nervously arranging some papers on the table. Ananya knocked on the door.

Anu: Sir, may we come in?

Sir: Yeah...yeah, oh Ananya and You.... who are you?

Daksh looked confused while Ananya spoke with an effort.
