I Hate You (3)

True I can’t afford ‘F’, neither can I tolerate Vishal and more over can’t let my ego go down against him. After all I promised him his first ‘F’ grade, and now asking him to cooperate and maintain professional relationship will be such a horrendous thing to do.

So considering all my available options…. “Do I have any?”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Finally after thinking and lot of rethinking I was ready with my almost fool proof plan for the Lab.

What if I am not ready for the ‘F’, neither is he. This was the only loophole to be benefited from. Why should I be the one asking for cooperation? Let him pull the trigger and ask me to cooperate. He must be equally worried or even more for his first ‘F’ grade. All the while I can just pretend like I don’t care, as such it goes with my image too.

TUESDAY LAB

“Hi”, said Vishal merrily, as if nothing ever happened.

Good for me probably he wants things to go back to normal, as he needs my cooperation. I thought to myself.

“Heloo” I said with an ugly smile.

Prof. Mathur explained the aim of lab in next 15 minutes and later we were left alone to perform lab for the next 1.5 hours.

“So…?” I asked.

“I am thinking of utilizing my time.” He commented.

“OK, so you better start working. It’s a long experiment.” I commented back.

“Ohh…What experiment? I was talking about spending time with Aarika.” He replied with a grin on his face.

“What the fuck, this lab is meant for experiments not for your romantic sessions with your girl friend.”I said irritated.

“She is hot. Are you jealous?”

Ok Prenika keep your calm. Don’t freak out and make another terrible mistake. I told myself.

“What about our experiment then?” I enquired.

“I thought we were planing to flunk. You remember?”He asked with a broader smile than before.

“You are a despicable human being. I hate you”.

“I know. And it’s ok you are jealous. Any ways you know where to find me in case you change your mind.”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Finally in last half an hour of the lab I realized he is no way concerned about it. I started struggling with all the electrical components on my own just when he reappeared.

“So you changed your mind. Should have called me, could have helped you.”

I already knew I lost d battle of words and with my sword and weapons down I said, “You can still help, I will not be able to complete the experiment in time”.

“Well don’t worry. I already knew something like this will happen, since our chemistry is so great. So before coming to the lab I asked Mr. Mathur for extra lab slot in this week.”He replied with genuine sincerity.

“And that’s the reason; you were so cool about it. You wanted to watch me suffer. You sadist.”

“I call it being one step ahead. And it was all just to make you clear that we both need each other. I know it was rude, but then I didn’t have many options to pick from either. ”

“Fine, we will work it out somehow.”

“So we are partners.” He said and swiftly brought his hand forward.
