During our first break everyone decided to Skip the classes and go watch a movie.

Diya pulled me aside and said, "I'm not coming."

I sighed and said, "Don't spoil your mood because of him. You know how he is. He is sticking to her to gain your attention. We will have fun. Ignore him"

"It's not that easy, Ana. I can't handle it anymore. He hurts me on purpose." she said, close to tears.

"This is the first time Afreen has agreed to skip classes. You know the goody two shoes never skips. It's the three of us, let's have fun." I said.

Before she could reply, Afreen came towards us agitated, "Are you guys sure we should skip? I mean its Usha mam's class. She will screw us if we miss her class. She's our lab in charge too. "She said, panicking.

"Chill. Affu. Nothing will happen. We are just going for a movie." Diya said, soothingly.

Meghana went with Harshad, Chavi with Sanju. Abhay had already left. He was kind of a loner. Afreen, Diya and I decided to walk,  as the Mall was not far from college. Sam wanted Diya to go with him, but she refused. He went back to park his vehicle in order to walk with us.

We were waiting for Sam when Harsh asked me, "Come on Ana, ride with me."

Shit. I don't how to let this guy know I'm so not interested. I have told him in so many ways, but the guy just doesn't take a hint. Harsh is short, maybe a few inches taller than me with a fair complexion and slim build. He still has the babyish qualities to his face which didn't vanish when he entered late teens.

Afreen and Diya were trying not to laugh at me, while I politely declined.

He drove away dejected.

"Aw. Poor guy. You broke his heart." Diya said, teasing me.

I made a face, "Oh please. I have been dodging him since the last two years. He doesn't give up at all. How can he even think I would fall for him?" I said.

"I pity the guy you finally fall for. You have very high standards. Aise tujhe koi nahi milne wala (You won't find anybody like this)." Afreen said.

Both of them were making fun of me when Sam joined us. Diya stopped laughing and stormed ahead. He rushed to catch up to her, while Affu and I followed, slowly. 

All the way to the mall Sam tried to woo Diya while she ignored all his attempts. I smiled at them. They were in love. I knew she would forgive him. She can't stay mad at people for long, especially him.

Will my boyfriend be the same? Will I ever have boyfriend? Being the Shy girl I am, I have always found it hard even to get to the stage of liking someone.

When both Diya and Sam sat next to each other, Crisis averted, I thought.

I was restless through the whole movie. I had a feeling that something was going to happen soon. There was this weird flutters in my stomach. 

It was evening by the time we all left the mall. We had a really good time. Soon everyone went on their own way back  home. Only Sam, Diya, Harsh and I were left. I was lost in thought, trying to ignore the pit in my stomach. All the four of us lived nearby to each other. Often Sam dropped Diya home, but today she had got her vehicle. It was decided that Harsh and Sam would take us back to college to get Diya's Scooter and we would leave together.

I couldn't ask Diya to ride with Harsh as it would be too awkward. Everyone knew about Harsh's feelings for me and my lack of feelings for him. I reluctantly climbed onto the bike and he sped away.

"You don't have to be awkward around me, you know." He said.

"I'm not." I defended myself.

He laughed at me and stopped in front of the college. My face was flaming red. I got down and got on to Diya's scooter. She was looking at me with her eyebrows raised, I just ignored her. All of us then, left for home together.
