At My Brother's Wedding

Fifteen - Love?

Shakshi's Pov

What just happened? My heart is beating so fast as it would jump anytime out of my rib cage. My breathing is like as if  I had just won the marathon. I'm sweating like hell. So hot! Obviously his effect on me! Mr. Arrogant!

I went for my next class. Its a practical class which is going to taken by Dr. Sharath. Arica was already gone to her surgery session. When I enter the class, Dr. Sharath was standing there. I'm late, all because of him!

"Excuse me, sir."

He turned towards me from the board.

"Ye..." he didn't complete his sentence and stood shocked. Why?

"Sir?"

"Hmm... Yes come in!" he smirked.

Whats with everyone today. I huffed and entered the class. I galanced for my seat. As it is a practical session only 50 chairs were placed for 50 students. And there was only one empty chair left because of everyone present today. Thats for me! And.... Its near Varun!

'Varun' the name made chills run down my spine. I started to hate even thinking about that name. Though Varun is a nice person, Mr. Arrogant succeeded in making me afraid of saying it again!

I walked near him and took my seat and give him a short smile. He didn't react much. Oh is it because I went with Mr. Arrogant without even biding him a goodbye that day? What could I do when he is the one controlling my life.

"I'm sorry for that day..." I whispered to him as the class was going on.

"Uhmm? Yeah! But its not your fault." he said without looking at me but the board.

"So, are we good? I just hate when my friends get hurt because of me."

"Huhmm... By the way, is he your brother or some relative cousin? He's over protective around you!?"

"No!" I shouted a little bit which made me to gain the whole class's attention. Shit!

I hanged my head down looking at my notes and bitting my lip.

"Its nothing here." Varun saved me from this moment. The class retrieved.

"You okay? Look at me Shakshi." he asked in a low voice.

I turned my face towards him. His eyes went wide. He searched for some reason from me. He took his handkerchief from his pocket and brought it near my lips.

What is he doing? I felt embrassed and held his hand as my defence.

"Your lipstick. Its smudged allover!" he looked at me quizzically and wiped
my lips ignoring my hand. He looked tense.

Smudged? Oh no! You. You... Pratvik?! I hate you. Is that why Dr. Sharath smirked. He would have known this. I felt ashamed!

"I ate some snacks." I tried to manage the situation. But I know I sounded like a fool. Varun also didn't seem convinced.

That man stole my first kiss. It will be a lie if I say I didn't enjoy that. I like him. But he is taking things too fast and I still don't trust in relationships. What if he is just using me? My phone beeped. It was a text message.

'From: Stephan David
Hi. Today evening there is a small disscussion about golden jubliee event in the park near by. Please assemble at 5 without fail!'

"What's that?" Varun tried to peek at my phone.

"Just some students meeting on that golden jubliee event. Class rep texted me."

"I didn't recieve any message." he checked his phone.

"May be he didn't have your number. You just joined right?"
