"Are you messing with me?" I frown at him.

"Why would I do that?"

"Is there some kind of bet going on among your friends about who can destroy the new girl?"

His face appeared hard. The quirky smile long gone. "Listen to me carefully Ahira. I simply asked you out. If you don't trust me even that much and think that I was doing this for a nonsensical bet then we should not talk anymore."

Shit I shouldn't have said that. Guiltiness grips me. I spoke softly. "I'm sorry Randheer I trust you. It's just that I thought you were dating Pranvi."

Listening to me his cold aura appeared to cooled down a little. "We are just friends angel and I won't betray you like that."

I nod. He takes a step closer when I don't say anything. His both hands clasp mine. Facing directly at me he announces. "Yesterday I told this to your brother that I like you and now I'm saying it to you. I really like you angel."

"But we just met few days back."

"I knew that question was about to come up somewhere", he says then continues. "But trust me I know what an infatuation is and this doesn't feel like one. Also I don't go and fight for everyone, especially standing on the same side as that asshole."

The word brothers was playing on my lips yet I gulped them back because saying that word means a cold and distant Randheer and I wasn't going to ruin this moment. All I could think about was.

My mind was yelling hell no! however deep in my heart softly hushed a yes. I have never been on a date before. Didn't mom say something about following your heart.

I took a deep breath and with a smile replied, "yes"

Immediately I was engulfed in a hug with his overpowering scent surrounding me. God I feel so secure in his warm body that's so close to me. I feel like a little kid again, so giddy with emotion. 

"Come on let's go back", he says.

I was blushing so profusely the whole way. The silence around us was disappearing into thin air with the hustle bustle of the students coming to life. 

"Randheer thank God you are here. Miss...Mala...called you in her office", a boy stops right in front of us taking long deep breaths. 

"Why?" Sternly Randheer replies. Can't he see the boy was heavily breathing.

"Are you alright?" I quickly ask him. Surprised he looks at me. "Yeah...thank you"

He continues looking at me. "Miss Mala has called you as well."

"Why has she called both of us?" 

"I don't know", the boy was now sobered.

Without another word Randheer made his way with me catching up to him towards Miss Mala's office.

As we neared the office my eyes met Drishti who was standing beside Rudra. He looks exactly like Randheer a little bruised and also a white bandage on his knuckles. Then the Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Pranvi and Lisa and lastly the other boys whose name I came to know later, Raghav and Aryan.

Was there another party that I didn't get invited to?

Apparently there was only expression on everyone's face of utter shock seeing me and Randheer walking together towards them. 

"What's going on?" Randheer doesn't wait for their questions. 

"No one knows we were just called but apparently someone saw Manav and his friends entering the office first then all our parents were called", Aryan explained. Shit that means Bhai was also in there!
