“Sonali,
stop laughing and do something about it.” I urged as she tried to control her immortal
laugh.
Sonali and
Niharika were my two irreplaceable roommates and pillar of support. I don’t know
how I would have survived last two brutal years of my existence without them.
Sonali had
a elegant model like figure, rosy complexion and light brown eyes always done
with beautiful eye makeup. Needless to say she was popular among guys. The more
attractive she was, more handsome her boy friend was.
Niharika
on the other hand was always a sweet little ambitious kiddo for me and for some
reason I always felt responsible for taking her care. Anyways she always proved
me wrong by taking care of me in my worst moments, plus her stupid yet simple
suggestions somehow always worked for me.
“Come-on, think
about it Prenika. This is probably the smartest and easiest manner to get good
grade, with that you never know when stars turn in your favor.”
“Excuse me.”?
I questioned with my raised eyebrow.
“You know,
Vishal is quite a catch….”
“Ehwww… even
the thought is creepy. I will kill myself.” was my immediate response.
“Why are
you planning to kill yourself? What’s up”? Niharika shouted as she entered the
room.
Later Sonali
translated the entire story and again laughing sessions continued.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“Option 1.
Be good to him. Work together. Get good
grades, and may be get lucky..hehe.
Option 2.
Go and talk to him. Ask him to say NO to work with you. Manage passing grades
and be happy with it.
Option 3. Irritate
him like he was never irritated before and force him to back out.
“What’s
your pick, by the way I love 3rd vala.” said Niharika.
“Don’t be
stupid Niharika”, said Sonali.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“We need
to talk.” I grumbled as I stood in front of Vishal.
“And I
thought you hate me. But funny enough you can’t even wait till Tuesday lab.” He
said in a pure sarcastic tone.
“Look I want
you to tell sir that you can’t work with me.”
“Ohhh I see…you
mean you want a favor from me.”
Completely
pissed by his statement I shouted.
“No,I am
just warning you to back out.”
“Oh My God,
I am scared.”
“You
better be.”
“Let’s
take a look. What is it that you are so jealous about? My personality? My
popularity??? Ohh my God, just crossed
my mind. You fear falling in love with me, Isn’t it. Exactly that’s why you
want to stay away from me as much as possible, knowing I will never be yours.”
“You are going
to regret this. I promise you. Be
prepared for your first “F” grade. And for your information, Personality you
are so proud about is not even near to what is called as civilized.”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
“In your
heated argument you just forgot to take notice that his “f” grade means yours
as well. You will be scored as a group.” Niharika said while bringing me back
to my senses.
“Don’t you
watch movies? Every blockbuster romantic love story begins the same way.”
Sonali smirked as she enlightened us with her wisdom.
“Fuck off.”
Silence was what i needed.
