The Kiss That Never Happened!

1.

"Oh no he didn't!" Nikhilan gasped.
"Unbelievable," other girls muttered.
"Anyway, it's over," Anami shook her head with disgust.

"But some girls do like to be called 'babush' and get sweet pink teddy bears," Birla interjected.
"Oh no she didn't," Nikhilan snorted.

"You had to say that, didn't you?" Siddhi snapped at Birla.

"Other girls? Do I look other girls to you?!" Anami banged her cup on the table, saying each and every word slowly.

"I don't like pink teddy bears and guys calling me 'babush' or anything. It's like you don't know me, Bir," Anami made a face, like she was forced to taste venom.

"Are you sure you are not gay, Anami?"

Yes. There she was. There was the woman everyone loathed. Wearing all purple and all tight, she strode with confidence and settled next to Ezra, making sure to give Anami a hundred dollar smirk.

"Are you sure those boobs aren't fake, Shabana?" Anami shot back, a satisfied smirk on her face.
She triumphantly lifted the mug from the table and took a sip, her eyes fixated on the scowl faced Shabana.

"What ya, Nikhi? Why am I drinking green tea? " she spat the tea in the mug.

"You said that you were de-caffeinating yourself, dumbass," he shot his hands up in defence.

"That was when I was filled with Vodka in my belly, you bimbo!" She whisper-yelled at him.

"I didn't pay for tea, Nikhs," she muttered, clearly disappointed.

"No, no. You didn't pay at all. Now drink the fucking tea, fat ass," he rolled his eyes and gave her a long stretched smile.

The Decath Club's cafe was owned by Nikhilan's brother ; Nageshwaram.
The group would occasionally have some beverages for free.

Okay, maybe always. They had no shred of dignity, alright.

"You know, Anami? Drinking green tea helps you lose extra flesh on your ass, and frankly you need it," she gave her a sympathetic smile and looked at the others for some cheers.

Er..

Before Anami could come up with a witty one, their heads turned to the source of the voice.

"Oh, no. If you need any help, just message me or call me, I'll be there," Rishabh gave her a smile, his brooding hand on her right shoulder.

"Thankyou, Rishabh," Ruchita gave him a small smile, her eyes occasionaly wandering to their body contact.

"Not a problem. Challo, I got to go, Tanmay and Raghav are waiting for me, we have a tennis match in about twenty minutes," he gave her a big bright smile and fled off.

Ruchita stayed there for a moment. Her head facing the ground, her face lit with a smile and her eye..oh, her eyes; happy as ever.
"Stop staring," she ordered the others in a monotonous tone and sat next to Siddhi.

"Woot woot," Ezra whistled and winked at Ruchita.

"And why would you call him?" Anami raised her right eyebrow, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Er...I need to know the courses his Law college provides," she muttered, her eyes on the floor she stole Anami's mug and took ap sip.

"Green tea," she cringed and spat in the mug.

"But you are doing Engineering," Ezra pointed out in a tone of monotone, raising her eyebrows.

"And I would like to know about....law. Now stop testing me," she stammered.
