There was a huge crowd of students dancing in the middle of the hall, I could see Aditi in between there and not being able to wait to make her jealous, I grabbed Jay's hand.

"Let's dance." I said to him as I pulled him along, we both joined the crowd and started dancing, I made sure to move closer and closer to Aditi so she can notice me but she seemed too busy to even notice me and now I was getting mad.

"I'm going to get a drink, do you need something?" Jay asked.

"I'll come with you." I said deciding to go with him as Aditi was too busy to notice me. I knew she was going to see me at one point or the other, I was just too impatient to make her pay back for what she did to me.

After getting our drinks, Jay and I stood in a corner looking at everyone, I don't know where Arnav had disappeared suddenly because I couldn't see him anywhere in the party.

"You know you look so gorgeous today, I can't stop looking at you." Jay said to me.

"I know, I'm so hot it's hard to keep your eyes off me." I laughed.

"It's actually true." Jay laughed back, I stopped laughing and looked at him seriously, he wouldn't stop staring at me actually.

"Now if you keep looking at me like that, I might think you have a crush on me." I rolled my eyes and turned to look at Aditi who was still busy dancing with some guy I hadn't seen in the university before.

"What if I actually do have a crush on you?" Jay asked, I looked at him in surprise, I wasn't surprised that he had a crush on me, that was a normal thing, a lot of people had had crushes on me, I just wasn't expecting him to admit it, he dint seem like the kind of a guy who would admit his feelings so openly.

"Then too bad because I don't have one on you. I mean now that I know you and we are sort of friends, I could actually think about dating you but the problem is our status, I mean you and me? Nope not happening. Sorry, I have to break your heart Jay." I pouted.

"Is Status that important Khushi?" He asked.

"Well ofcourse." I rolled my eyes.

"What about love?"

"Oh come on Jay, you just met me don't say you already love me."

"Of course I don't? It's just a hypothetical question. Like for example let's say one day you meet a guy, not me, just any other random guy, who makes you so happy, does everything to keep you happy and you fall in love with him but then find out he's from a middle class family. What would you choose? Love or Status?"

"We'll let that day come then I'll think about it. Isn't this a very serious conversation for a party?" I laughed, I don't know why Jay was being so serious about this topic, it wasn't like I was ever going to fall in love with him.

"You! What are you doing here?" Aditi's voice distracted me. Oh so finally she noticed me, damn I couldn't stop smirking.

"Umm, I was invited to the party." I rolled my eyes at her.

"But I ruined your dress." She looked really mad and from her expressions I could clearly see how jealous she was. I knew I looked perfect, thanks to Arnav.

"Too bad that you thought ruining my dress could stop me from coming here. Surprise best friend, now if you would excuse me, I need another drink, it's very hot here I wonder why. Oh I know, it's because I look hot and you don't." I smirked as I pushed her aside and headed to get myself another thing.

This was me, sometimes I was a lot mean to people but I had never been mean to Aditi. Well if she had just forgiven me or not ruined my dress at least then this fight wouldn't have started.

I turned around and found her still looking at me, of course she knew she was going to lose today, with the way I was dressed, I was the one winning the best dressed award or whatever it was, and Aditi hated losing.

She walked towards me once again and grabbed my arm.

"What the hell do you think? You left without informing me and then you come back expecting me to forgive you like nothing happened? And if you really wanted my forgiveness you wouldn't do this to me, you should be begging for my forgiveness instead of trying to compete with me." She was really mad.

"I tried the begging, I tried the talk and I was still trying wasn't I Aditi? You are the one that started the war and let me remind you Aditi, once you mess up with Khushi Gupta then she doesn't let you get away easily, not even her own best friend.

You started this competition, you challenged me, you ruined my dress so I don't really care now, if it means war then the war is on."

"I am never going to forgive you!"

"Well fine by me."

She stamped her feet angrily and walked away, well to sound cool I might have said I dint want her to forgive me but deep down I really did want her to forgive me. No matter how much we'd fight or anything, at the end of the day she was my best friend, and all I wanted was for us to get back to normal, and I was going to do everything it takes to get our friendship back.

Before she wasn't giving me any attention but by doing this, I knew I had all her attention, I just needed to figure out what to do in order for her to forgive me.

"I see you did manage to make Aditi burn." Arnav smirked as he walked towards me out of nowhere.

"You did this for me because you wanted her to be mad dint you?" I asked.

"Of course, why else do you think I would help you? I am not some kind of a selfless person who would help someone just for the sake, I got what I wanted out of this and you also did, it's a win-win situation." He said.

"You basically used me to get at Aditi."

"Oh come on, as if you dint want this. I just helped you with your problem, you should be thankful for that. If you thought that I was actually helping you then that's your problem."

"Why do you hate Aditi so much, what is it between you two? Were you dating then broke up on bad terms or something?"

"I'd rather date some random girl from this crowd that her. And I told you to stop being nosey. What's with all this questions?"

"Fine Arnav, you got what you wanted, I got what I wanted, you are right we both win." I sighed giving up, I dint really want to argue with him right now, of course a part of me knew that he helped me just because I wanted to compete with Aditi.

"No, I am still not done. You have to dance with me." He said.

"Are you asking me to dance with you or telling me to? If you're asking that's not how it's done."

"I am telling you, I helped you get what you wanted now your turn to thank me for helping you."

"And how will me dancing with you help?"

"That's none of your business, now come on, let's hit the dance floor." He put his arm around my waist and pulled me to the dance floor.

Wow, this guy was really strange and it was hard to understand why he did what he did. I looked at Jay who was still standing where I left him, he was looking at me and Arnav dancing together and he seemed pretty jealous.

When the music changed to the slow one, a lot of people left and a lot of couples joined in for the slow romantic dance. I tried to walk away too but Arnav grabbed my hand and pulled me back. he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer as I crashed on his chest.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Trying to dance?" He looked at me like he was confused, I was the one supposed to be confused with his behavior.

A few minutes into the dance, the proximity between the both of us was sort of driving me crazy, I don't know why actually, it just felt really strange.

I had goosebumps, and every time his hand was move and touch me anywhere, I felt so ticklish, in a good way, I dint want to feel this way, not with Arnav at least.

"You actually do look really beautiful." Arnav said as he looked me into the eyes, I looked back at him in surprise, it was strange that Arnav would actually compliment me like this since the both of us dint seem to be getting along much.

He tucked the few strands of hair that were falling on my face behind my ears and kept on staring at me like he had never seen anyone look as beautiful as I was looking tonight. A lot of people had always given me a lot of compliments about my looks and I also knew I looked great, but the way Arnav was looking at me right now made me feel beautiful, and not just beautiful in terms of looks, but beautiful in every manner.
