chapter:05 The rumours

As I was turning back, somebody called me. I looked, it was Vickey. "Hey, there" he said. I did not respond and started to leave, he blocked my way and said "wait, don't you want to talk to your classmate, that's so rude of you". When he said that I saw his smirk and so wanted to slap him then and there for blocking me. "I don't have anything to say to you, classmate" I said taunting him.

 "Oh god, don't be so rude, I was walking by and saw you by chance so just wanted to say" hello" he said. But I did not forget to notice his expression while saying that ,and it was clearly visible he approached me with some kind of intention and I don't know what, but I have a feeling it's not something I want to hear. "Just go away Vickey, I don't want to hear anything from you and nor do I want to greet you, so you may leave" I said and started to move from the other side ,and suddenly he blocked my way again, now he was getting on my nerves. "Just listen to what I want to say about ,and I promise I will move, and by the way it's about your friends" he said. I knew if I stood there he would spout some nonsense but nonetheless when I heard the word friends, for some reason I wanted to hear what he had to say and without me uttering a word he said" do you know why Kartik and I fought that day, it was because I asked about Diksha as I was interested in her and had asked her contacts but for my surprise he got angry and started fighting me, I was amazed too, that's when it hit me the rumored I have heard about him and Diksha.

" Enough, I don't want to listen to anything, and I am not interested, so leave" I said stopping him in mid-sentence. I have heard the rumors too, but I knew if something was like that they both would come to me and explain it, and we have already talked about it that the rumor of both of them dating and I knew it was a false rumor, they were Just hanging out and asked me too, but I was busy in the library and that when all that rumor started. Anyway I was getting irritated because of him and I Just wanted to leave. " Wait, I think the rumor you are thinking about is not the same I am talking about. I was talking about how people are saying that they both have feelings for each other, and they are not dating because of you as you are always with them, and they don't get to spend time together, you know some quality time" he said winking. I froze like what the hell is going on as it was already in my head that Kartik might like her and Vickey's word just added fuel to the fire." Rumors are also that because of you they are not dating now but might date in future and I don't know if they have told you all about these, but everyone in our class knows, and some girls of our class even say that you do that deliberately and don't let two of them spend time together". I couldn't hear more and left from there without saying a word.

"As I was moving forward my steps were heavy, I thought what does he mean that everyone knows, and it's not that I am stopping them if they like each other and suddenly tears start to stream down on my face by just the mere fact that the guy I like doesn't like me and top of that he is in love with my best friend, I just couldn't stop crying about what just happened and why is it that I did not notice earlier i could have stopped my feelings then and there. And with all of this thinking i reached home, and I was about to enter when somebody stopped me" what happened to you, why are you crying, did someone say anything to you" Kartik said all that in one go. I was just thinking about how I will face them tomorrow, how I will face HIM, will I be able to act normal and then here he is standing on my gate watching me cry and asking me questions but all of a sudden the things I have just been through made me angry, and I snapped at him saying" what is wrong with you, and why are you here, and it has nothing to do with you so just leave, i don't want to talk to you right now." " You think I will let you go, especially after watching you like this" he said while looking straight into my eyes and clutching my wrist and forcefully took me to the roof of my house.

It was already a bit dark. "let go of me, Kartik and i said I don't want to talk to you why don't you listen" i said while trying to get free from his grip. "I am not until you tell me what has happened that made you so angry to snap at me and crying like that" he said while wiping off my tearing from my cheeks and i could just feel the warmth of his hand on my cheeks and again i started to cry by thinking how would I ever let him go, what if I never get to feel this warmth and by thinking this I just moved forward and hugged him and again started to cry. I can feel his hand patting my head and back like trying to tell me it's alright Everything will be fine, I hugged him tighter this time and never wanted to let him go. we stayed in the same way until I stopped crying. I let go of him and said nothing, I was just looking at the surface of the roof, I had no courage left so that I could look at him.
