HIS POSSESSION [ Under Editing ]

6. UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIP

( GUDDAN'S P.O.V ) 

" Hey Guddan are you going to the fresher's party this weekend,
Gosh.!  You should come, you know the great rockers band from our college are organizing the new theme.
I am so excited, there's gonna be lots of fun,
Omg omg we have to go shopping,
Damn you have to change that look of yours,  I am not allowing you to go there looking like a moron,
Ok listen I am telling you now what a damn badass that rockers band is....... "

And here she goes again. Don't get confuse, here i'll tell you.
So you see there is fresher's party this coming weekend in our college and no way in hell I am going to that crazy ass party.
And since our principal have announced about the host and venue, Aanya is on a rambling mode.
So this is what she is doing now, we are currently walking to the college and Aanya hasn't stopped talking once since we left home.

In midst of all this, Aanya's babbling and my bored mood I noticed a black suv catching up and it suddenly stopped in front of us.

The windows of car rolled down and the first thing I noticed was a charming smile on a familiar face.
Akshat jindal, what a pleasent way to start a day.

" Good Morning Ladies " Akshat said in his trademark deep voice.
" You guys walking to college, come on I'll drop you both there. Hop in "

" Umm No it's fine, we will walk, you go, thanks for offering ride tho " I replied back him immediately. No way I am going to spend the whole ride with Akshat in a car,
Man my heart already goes on a jumping rope at mere sight of him, how will I manage a whole ride with him.

" Actually we can use the ride, since you too are going to the college and I think we don't have much time left to make it to the 1st class, so um yeah, if you don't mind ". And Like this Aanya interrupted my denial with her approval.

I shot Aanya a threatening look which she completely ignored and settled down in the car.

" Don't worry Guddan, I don't bite, you can sit " Akshat said to me while chuckling.

I grumpily made my way to the car and got settled next to Aanya.

" So you are the famous Akshat Jindal about whom guddan tend to talk a lot ".
Seriously Aaney.? ,and here I thought you are my best friend.

" Is that so.? I hope all good thing " Akshat caught my eye in rear view mirror and... winked.!!

" Oh trust me, you look exactly same as she described, those gorgeous brown orbs and li... "

"I think it's not necessary to describe all in detail, now is it Aanya "
I cut down Aanya's words before she could get a chance to complete her story and embaress me further in front of Akshat.

I quickly shot Aanya a ' shut up or I'll kick you out this window ' look and she immediately understood my warning.
Rest of the ride was pretty much just casual conversations here and there.

Once we reached the college campus, Aanya and I got out of the car and made our way to the classrooms after bidding thanks and goodbyes to Akshat.

____________________________

" Here's coming your hero, " Aanya said while poking her finger on my arm. And I guess I don't have to turn around to see who is she talking about.
After the morning's incident, Aanya has been continuously irritating me by Akshat's name. Even now, we are sitting in the cafeteria and she still is stuck at the same topic.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I faced the new intruder and found Akshat staring at me with a strange emotion swirling in his brown eyes.
He was sitting next to me with a friend of his whom I found unfamiliar.
I turned my attention back to Akshat and muttered a small hello with slight smile.

" Hi, Guddan this is Rehaan, my best friend and Rehaan this is guddan,
My umm...  my new friend, " Akshat introduced me to his friend.

Friend.?  Ok I never said we are friends but fine, he seems to be in some sort of illussion.

Really Guddan, you clearly don't seem to be much bothered by calling him a "friend"

Sometimes I really wonder, me and my inner voice are two different people,
Can't you just agree with me at least once in the lifetime.

Then talk like one sweetie.!

It would be much better if I just talk to my "new friend" rather than discussing unnecessarily with myself.

I glanced at Rehaan and saw him noticing me, a small smile played across his face and after few moments, he streched out his hand for me to shake.

I hesistantly shake his hand. " Nice to meet you Rehaan "

" Believe me, the pleasure is all mine " Rehaan said to me, while clutching my hand in his,
he turned his head towards akshat & shot him a wink.

I don't know what was that for but from the corner of my eye I saw Akshat tensed up slightly but quickly recovered himself,

" Guddan are you going to the fresher's party this weekend " Rehaan asked me after somewhile trying to build up a conversation.

" I don't think so ". I replied back in an uncertain tone.

" Oh no, you have to come or Akshat's plan will be ruined. "
Upon hearing this Akshat choked down on his drink which got splattered on the table.

I heard a chuckle from the opposite side of the table and my head jerked upward in Aanya's direction who was I don't know for sure how but finding this whole situation amusing.

After that during the whole break, no one mentioned party or anything related to it.
We carried out our conversation lightly.
Ocassionaly Rehaan would crack some pretty lame jokes and we were all clutching our stomach laughing.

I felt a tingling sensation at the back of my neck as if someone was watching me,
I shifted in my seat as my eyes wandered around the cafeteria and lastly it land on a familiar pair of eyes but those were filled with extreme hatred and........ Jelousy.??

Why would Ahaana be jelous of me.!!

I searched for any emotion across her face but all I could find was a permanent scowl etched there and eyes which were glaring at me intensly.

I focused my attention on my friends again, and saw Aanya blushing deeply at something that Rehaan said, Akshat was also chatting happily and seem to be mingling in our small group,
Somewhere deep down I was glad of this new company, but to say I was not confused of all this would be an understatement.

This sudden change in Akshat's behaviour was unsettling, he was showing too much interest which directly shoved me under the spotlight,
I'm not worried about Ahaana or other but my mind is in a continuous chaos due to this change.

What's this new and unexpected friendship with Akshat jindal, holds for me,
for Akshat,
for us.!!
