Chapter 2

Durga's POV

It's 8 pm and we are still in our college preparing for our tech fest. Everyone was busy with the task on their hands. I was writing the schedule for the students coming from different colleges.

"Durga, have you finished?" asked Nith

"No Nith... it's too much and I am getting mad... it's all a mess" I said in frustration. I was trying to make the list for the last 2 hours but when I get it almost ready someone will bring another list for adding with it and I have to prepare it again.

Oh sorry, you must be confused about what I am ranting about, right? Ok, I will tell you in detail.

I am Durga, a final-year Civil Engineering student studying in one of the top Engineering colleges in India along with my crazy childhood twin sister come friend Miss. Nithya...

I don't think I want to explain more about her as you all know how nice, forgiving, and a kind girl she is (Note the sarcasm).

She is more protective over me now... as you know what happened to me in the past... I don't want to say anything about it as I am trying to forget about it... but you know, the past is like a drawing which can't be erased...

But I have got some whiteners to make my dark past a white one in the form of friends...

Yes, they are my strength... I got a lot of friends along with Athul and Nithya... everyone knows about my past... but the thing which amused me the most is, they treat me like one among them, they don't look at me in disgust... I can only see love and respect for me in their eyes...

But some of them are not like that... they like to draw more blood from my wounds when others try to heal them...

"Oh no Durga when are you going to finish this?" asked Athul "You are sitting here for hours and didn't complete it yet?  What are you, a snail?" he teased me, but my one death glare was enough for him to stop it.

"Oh really, then come sir, finish it by all yourself..." I said and started to stand up but he held me down by my shoulder.

"What... No no Durga... you are doing a great job sugar... I was just encouraging you my cutie... you can take as much as time you want... I am here with you" he said and sat near me taking the list and starting to help me.

"Oh, that's so nice of you Mr... but I don't need your help" I said taking the list from his hands...

"Baby come naahh... what are you doing here?" asked Shreya pulling on Athul's collar.

"Yeah, Athul, what are doing here? Go with your girlfriend and enjoy, I will manage this alone..." I said winking at him...

"Ahem... aa... no Durga... I want to help you... you know, or else it can be a mess" he said and took the list from my hands pleading with me with his eyes.

Shreya is Athul's accidental girlfriend... When we came as a fresher Athul got mesmerized by her beauty and proposed to her on the same day... and to his bad, I should say, she accepted it and now he is on her leash... she drags him everywhere she goes, he is her personal trolly to carry her luggage even her books and bags... and her official driver too... my poor friend is now trying to get rid of her but she being a koala is not helping with it... haha...

"Aww it's ok Athul I can manage it alone... look at her she is waiting for you and didn't you tell me you have a surprise for her?" I asked making his situation worse.

"Really!!! ohh you are so sweet my Athul... I love you so much muaaahh" squealed Shreya peppering kisses all over his face... I'm sure we can collect a bucket full of her saliva from his face now...

She dragged him out of the class and he was struggling to free from her but all his efforts went vain...

"My poor boy... I hope she will not kill him today" said Nithya watching the retreating figure of Athul and we both laughed.

"Ok I finished it, I am going to pin it on the notice board," I said standing up and stretching my back, sitting on the floor for several hours was killing my back.

"Ok wait, I will come too," said Nithya, she was doing paper crafts and her hands were covered with glue and colors.

"No Nith it's ok, I will go... if you came with me I am sure that, in some way, you will touch this list with your not-so-clean hands, so no thanks... I will manage it by myself, mam..." I said and she pouted at me.

"Nithya, don't pout it's making you look more fatty," I said showing my tongue, and ran from there.

"You skinny drumstick, stop there..." she yelled and threw her pen towards me but to her bad, the pen struck our professor's head. He stood there rubbing his head and looked up and sideways and saw Nithya biting her nails in nervousness... he gave her a flirty smile and went towards her.

"Hi Nithya... you are shy to call me, that's why you throw the pen at me right?" he asked sitting beside her.

"Ahh... I... " she stuttered in front of him

"I know, you don't want to tell anything Nithu... and don't be this much shy around me..." He said

I was suppressing my laugh covering my mouth, he was always mesmerized by her and our great brave Nithya is a puppy in front of him.

Actually, because of her, he is like that... she is a lazy girl who didn't write the assignment and flirted with him to give her marks and he is a poor man and thought Nithya was in love with him... I'm sure his heart will break when we pass out in the next month...

So my two friends are down now, and I continued my walk to our Admin block to pin the list on the notice board, no one was there when I reached... everyone was busy decorating the halls and the entrance.

I did my job and turned around but before that, someone pushed me to the wall, my front was pressed against the wall...

"Hi my little whore..." said a voice breathing in my neck...
