Arshita's Pov

After the scholars got their punishment our happiness knew no bounds because that's what we had planned everything for up until now!

Mr.Khurana took us back to class while the scholars had to go to the grounds for their punishment which was ten laps for each one of them.

"Yaar I really want to bunk this class and see those guys suffering in the grounds" Manish said smirking and we all nodded but we have to think of some way to go there because Mr.Loudspeaker was adamant on taking us back to his class.

We all went in and sat on our backseats as Mr.Khurana started with his boring class, when Hardik suddenly got up showing out his pinky and sir gave him a weird look.

"Sir emergency!" Hardik said while we all tried not to laugh and sir just nodded giving him a look as Hardik went out winking at us, indicating to come out!

"Sir I need to use the washroom" Tanya said getting up and Mr.Khurana sighed as he said, "Fine go ahead"

"Let's go Arshu" Tanya said taking my hand and I nodded as I got up with her when Mr.Khurana asked, "Where are you headed to now?"

"Sir! Girls don't go to washroom alone, they always need a friend" I said smiling cheekily as we both went out before he could say anything else and stood behind the door where Hardik was, as we waited for the others to make some excuse too.

"Sir!!" Ishan said raising his hand and Mr.Khurana once again turned to back giving out a glare and even before Ishan could say anything sir shouted, "Get out! Manish and Rishabh you too! Get out three of you, I know you guys must be wanting to go to washroom too, get out right now"

"Thank you so much sir" Rishabh said giggling as the three of them immediately picked up their bags and came out of the class while the six of us laughed.

"Let's go guys, onto the grounds for some fun" Rishabh said and we all nodded as we immediately went upto the back grounds of the college and saw the scholars running around with sweat dripping off of them.

"Woah, look at them! They'll know not to mess with us again" I said chuckling and Hardik spoke up while laughing, "But seriously, these guys really have such a low alcohol tolerance"

"Not everyone is like you Harry! You can drink to infinity" Ishan said laughing and Hardik just shrugged his shoulders.

"I hope they finally understand that they can never reach on our level" Manish said keeping his hand around my shoulders and I looked at him as I asked, "Why do I feel like you have a born enmity with them Manu?"

"Well you can say, I don't like people who are troublesome to me or my friends, specially you! That guy seriously triggered me that day when he held back your wrist on the first day" Manish said pointing at Shubman and I gave him grateful smile as I pulled his cheek saying, "That's cute!"

"But I kind of feel bad for them now, this punishment is kind of hard you know" Tanya said and we all turned to her giving a weird look when Ishan also spoke up while his eyes were fixed in the direction Shriya was running, "I guess you're right! Especially for the girls, it's a difficult one"

"Tujhe bhut dukh ho rha hai girls ke liye? Kyuu beyy?" Rishabh asked punching his arm while Ishan looked here and there as he said, "Shut up, mera vo matlab nhi tha....... I don't care, they're idiots, isi layak hai ye log" He said suddenly as his tone changed when Abhishek came running upto beside Shriya and she was giving him a smile as something he said. Well that's weird Ishan!!

"Don't tell me you.... I mean, Shriya??" I asked him and Ishan gave me a  wide eyed look as he said, "What the hell are you talking about? Mai pagal thodi hu"

"That's good then bro! She can't be my bhabhi" Tanya said and Ishan just hitted her head saying, "Shut up, don't talk nonsense"

We all just chuckled as Tanya gave him a look while rubbing her head when I looked at scholars and in that exact moment Shubman looked straight at me. He was sweating really bad by now as they were almost done with their laps. He looked pissed by his expressions as he kept on glaring towards me! Why only me? Well, who cares?

The six of them finally finished their rounds and stopped in a corner drinking water and calming themselves while we all were still not over their yesterday's antics and were laughing over it while we heard Shubman getting angry at all of them for getting into our trap as he'd been denying for this all the way!

"I already told you guys not to believe them, par nhi tum log ko dosti krni thi na!" Shubman said angrily and Abhishek sighed while saying, "Ho gyi na galti Shub, stop scolding us! I promise I'm not leaving these guys as it is"

"Seriously I swear like how can someone stoop so low!" Shriya said making a face and Shubman just signed when Manish spoke up, "Even if we stoop lower, you guys can't reach upto where we are"

Shubman took a deep breathe as he emptied the bottle on his head while he was holding until now and then turned as he walked upto us and stopped right in front of me.

I looked at him from head to toe and I couldn't deny that fact that he had a great body, which looked even greater as he was dripping with water.

"I've already told that we don't ever want to reach that level! And I'm telling this for the last time that if you guys mess with us once again, I'll never ever sit back!" Shubman said while I was busy checking him out shamelessly and somehow the words couldn't come out of my mouth to give a reply to him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Manish said pulling me backwards as I've been silent all this time and finally came out of my trance when Manish came forward while speaking not before giving me a weird look, "Was that a threat? Do we need to act scared? Sorry we aren't!"

"You guys have seriously crossed the line now" Mayank said and Rishabh chuckled while saying, "There's no line for us bro!"

"But we'll draw it for sure now, cuz this had gone just too far" Abhishek said and this time Ishan was the one to come in the front as he just some inches away from him glaring angrily as he said, "Try that, but I'm sure you would never be able to complete it"

"Why are even having this conversation with you guys? It's as useless as the things you all do" Shriya said and I finally spoke up as me standing behind in a fight was not at all like me, "Useless was you guys taking our cafeteria table, useless was you guys taking our back seats, it's so clear that you guys are desperate to take out place in the college but unfortunately you all would never be able to"

"The most unfortunate thing to happen was us meeting you guys! Nothing could be worse than that" Shubman said coming forward when Manish stopped him once again saying, "I told you stay away from her, don't you even dare talk to her in that tone"

Shubman's Pov

I was losing my mind now! These guys are just too much to handle and I can't take this shit anymore, I will never forget this punishment and all the mess when we weren't even at fault even a little bit. They were taking this thing just too far!

"I told you to stay away from her, don't you dare talk to her in that tone" Manish said coming in front of me and I took a deep breathe to calm myself down and before I could say anything else we heard the incharge shouting from behind.

"What the hell is happening here?" The incharge teacher shouted while we all stepped away from each other and turned to her with our heads down.

"Does this place look like a battlefield to you students? Get back to your classes right now before I take this matter till the principal office" She said angrily and we all nodded as we went straight back to our class which fortunately had no teacher at the moment.

I was still very much pissed as we all took our seats, while the six of them were giving us winning looks as they were back at their back seats! Is it that big of a deal for them? Because doing all this for just the seats was a little too much for me! Who do they think they are?

The next moment Mr.Khurana entered as everyone settled and the murmurs went down as he spoke up, "An important announcement for you students! You all are going to have your mid semesters in a week so better start preparing and stop fighting, about which I heard just now from the incharge teacher"

"Im letting this go as no one complained and you all need to focus on your mid sems now so better behave properly" Mr.Khurana said and everyone nodded when he opened his book on the desk and looked straight at the back seats!

"You guys are back at your favourite place once again?" He asked them and Manish was the first one to reply as he said, "Ofcourse sir! No one takes what belongs to us"

"But I can so you all better start studying well if you don't want everything taken away" Mr.Khurana said and everyone chuckled.

"Sir we always try our best but you never give us marks" Ishan said making a face and Mr.Khurana gave him a glare while saying, "That's because your best is the worst of all"

Everyone burst into laughter while I just shooked my head, when Shriya murmured next to me, "Even the teacher is fed up of them, I swear I'm so angry at them today"

"I know right! How dare they wrong us like that?" Abhishek said making a face from behind and Mayank patted his back while giving a look as he said, "They wouldn't have been able to, agar tum dono vo alcohol bottle lene ke liye maane na hote toh"

"Daaru hoti aisi cheez hai, sbko pagal bana deti hai" Manjot said making a sad face and as he added, "Itne chakkar lagaye ground ke that I can't even feel my legs now"

"Seriously, this was such a cruel punishment for us when we didn't even do anything! I swear I want to kill all six of them for making us do this" Nikita said and Mayank patted her head slightly saying, "Don't worry baby! One day they'll definitely get it back"

"Okay now I'm going to take a quick test now so all of you focus, I'll just ask some questions!" Mr.Khurana said and all the students just sighed.

"We'll start from the last seats!" Mr.Khurana as everyone looked back and Arshita stood making faces as she was the first one at the end to start with, "Ms.Kapoor! Can you tell me the definition of cultural psychology?"

"Sir I would like to pass" Arshita said and everyone laughed while Mr.Khurana just gave her a look as she shrugged her shoulder and he then looked at Manish who was beside her.

Manish stood us and gave out a cheeky smile to sir as he said, "Sir do I get any lifeline? Like phone a friend?"

"You can get one, suspended from college!" Mr.Khurana said while they all tried not to laugh and the next one stood up who was Hardik, "Sir I've never even opened my psychology book"

"And you think that's a great thing to tell me?" Mr.Khurana asked while Hardik just gave out an innocent look. After that Tanya stood up next in line and surprisingly she gave the answer even if it was not upto the mark but was almost right!

"I guess at least one of them knows how to open a book" I said and Shriya chuckled as she was just beside me, "Mayank got lucky with the partner thing, I guess! Otherwise look at him, unaware of the fact of whatever is happening with his gang" She said pointing at Ishan who was asleep soundly keeping his head on the table.

"They can't be serious even for a moment in their life" Abhishek said giving a look when Mr.Khurana spoke up in an amused tone, "Good! I didn't expected that Tanya. I guess you're the only one who got less influenced by your friends!"

"Traitor" The five of them said looking at her while she was giving a I'm the best looks while smiling widely, when Mr.Khurana looked at Rishabh who was next to her.

"Rishabh can you tell me what is developmental psychology?" Mr.Khurana asked him while Rishabh looked towards Tanya for help but she also didn't knew this one so he gave her a betrayed look as he turned back to sir, "My girlfriend doesn't know this one sir sorry! Next please" Rishabh said as he kicked Ishan's leg under the table and he woke up with a jerk as he stood up and sir gave him a look.

"Do you even know the question?" Mr.Khurana asked him and Ishan just shooked his head in denial.

"Fine then, if you all are going to be like this! Your punishments are yet to be given for the freshers nuisance" Mr.Khurana said and the six of them looked at him confused as Manish asked, "But sir? What was our fault, we didn't even do anything?"

"Aap log ka fault ye tha, that you all were a part of the preparations so you would've known what was happening during the process! You guys were careless"

"So as per the principals and your parent's orders you all will have to wait for the extra classes with your partners once again from today and if you all don't do that then please go and meet ma'am right now! UNDERSTOOD?" He asked and the six of them just stared at him and then at us while we were already looking at him.

I was already so pissed at them for whatever had happened at the freshers and these classes once again, I seriously can't with these people! Specially my so good and innocent partner! Why me?
