The boy I never liked

Unfortunately, when the boy she never liked, Ruchit Soni, asks her to tutor him, changes everything.
*********************
"Are you avoiding me?"

Ruchit chose to ignore it and continue going. I held his wrist making him stop on his steps, "Stop this. All of this!"

"Leave my hand." Ruchit said as he jerked his hand away from my grip.

I pushed him across the nearby wall and locked him between my hands. "Are you deaf?? Can't hear me?? I asked you why are you avoiding me?"

"Do you care about me Kamya?? Since when? Last time I checked you were ready to choke me?"

"Right now, that does seem a pleasant thought. But tell me, did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you? Just tell me Ruchit what the fuck is bothering you!"

He didn't speak for a moment, neither did I. I looked into his eyes trying to find answers for his sudden change in demeanor. He quickly diverted his eyes from me.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked my voice a mere whisper but he heard me, he looked back at me.

"Oh no Kamya, it's not you. It's just that I am stupid. I am a real idiot. It's not your fault."

"Then are you avoiding me? You talk to Sohil to Saatvik to every fucking person in that classroom except me, your seatmate."

He sighed, "I really don't wanna talk about this."

"Then don't ignore me."

"Can't you see it!"

"Can't see what!"

"Saatvik does not like you he is doing it all because of the bet he had with his friends."

"Who give a damn about him when the boy you like has been ignoring you from the past week." I spoke. His mouth opened wide.

Yes, I like you Ruchit.
The boy I never liked turned out to be the boy I can't live without.
