(Scarlet's POV)

Oh god! It was the same guy whom I was checking before but I will not do it again.

So I composed myself and walked past him but before I could go any further he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him and stared at me.

OK if he wants a stare competition than he can have it because I am Scarlet Castella who is a winner of every sport and I know this is not a sport but hey I am still a winner.

So you know I stared at him back until he stops and after 4 minutes yes 4 minutes, he spoke and god his voice is so sexy wait did I just say that "What are you staring at? " Oh No no no he did not just say that he was the one to grab me wait he is still holding my arm so first I freed myself and spoke.

ATTENTION the great Scarlet Castella is speaking "Excuse me, it was not me who started it and by the way Mr. Stare you were the first one to stare and if someone will stare then I will stare back, and don't you dare to ask what's the logic behind it? Because it's my logic! And i said sorry for bumping into you what else do you need. that I should fell on my knees and beg for your forgiveness. Typical men always take everything for granted and if it's a woman then the case is gone. 'When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.' I bet you live with this quote as a mantra and you know although 48% of law school graduates and 45% of law firm associates are female, women make up only 22% of federal-level and 26% of state-level judgeships...."

I was going to say more but he shut me up and by the way did I got diverted from topic. "Shut up just shut up. How come a person can talk so much and I just stopped you to give you this when you bumped into me, you dropped your handkerchief"

Oh so it was my handkerchief well looks like this time it was my mistake but I am not going to apologize.

He gave me my handkerchief. Oh god!! Scarlet, you have anger issues. Okay, let's thank him and move on "Umm... Thank you" with that without saying or hearing any other word I directly went to the Cafe.

In the cafe, I saw Ryan stuffing his already stuffed mouth and I quickly went to his table and sat opposite to him and took the chips packet and started munching them.

Eating always helps me to calm myself down and all my friends know that whenever I am annoyed or irritated I usually eat chips. It's my way to let my anger out.

Then suddenly I heard a strange voice and I focused to know the source of the voice and then I understood it was Ryan who was trying to talk while eating. I let out a sigh and said, " Mr. Ryan where are your basic manners. DO NOT SPEEK WHILE EATING. UNDERSTAND."

He just nodded, swallowed his food and then said, "OK, sorry but why are you stressed and yeah don't start the trail just answer in a single line"

Firstly I thought what I should say to him that yeah it's nothing but I just saw a stone that sparkled and if I told him as nothing happened then my life is ruined.

He will call everyone to know what the matter is. I am glad he is my friend but sometimes it becomes irritating.

So I said the best answer I could think of, "Umm... I just lost the handkerchief you gave me so I was worried but not to worry I got it back"

I plastered a fake smile. He stared at me sometimes but then said "okay"

I am feeling bad no worse cause I had to lie to him.

I know he was not convinced by the look on his face and his next words made me guiltier. I have secrets like once he was my crush.

OOPS!! Did I say that aloud? I watched his face and then he suddenly spoke

"Scarlet, if you are having any problem don't hesitate and just ask me okay. I will always be there for you. Or you should talk to Sabrina. If you think I can't solve your girl problem or something"

Aww, did he just said that? That's the reason why I like him.

"Ryan, don't worry everything is fine. You are so cute and adorable. You know I am very lucky to have you as my friend. Sabrina and all other friends are equal to me. Since Sabrina is my childhood friend that doesn't mean she knows everything about me. You don't have to be jealous of her because of me. I don't want any of our friendship to be broken. So don't ever compare yourself with anyone. Okay"

I said that but every word was true and comes from my heart.

But then suddenly Ryan started laughing as if it's a joke.

Ok, remind me again why I m friends with this maniac. Oh, right I lost my mind when I accepted his friendship.

"Ry Ry would you be so kind to tell me what is the cause of your beautiful laughter cause otherwise, I have a fork in my hand and I will stab it in your throat, and then you can laugh as long as you want," I said that and plastered a sweet no very sweet added with a honey smile.

The moment I said 'Ry Ry' he stopped laughing because this is a nickname that only me and Sabrina use. And of course, we won't use it if he likes it. Nicknames should be that which the person hates the most.

"Scarlet I have told you millions of times to not use that thing again and I have a right to laugh without any reason so you don't have a say in it. "He said looking dead serious.

Hell as if that's going to work with me and look at him teaching me none other than me something. I pity you, Ryan, you don't know what you brought upon yourself "fine I am sorry" I said and started eating again.

I could see him gulp in fear because he knows I rarely say something so small. Unless my mood is bad or the grim reaper and I made a deal and he knows that of course, it's not the later one...Right? Maybe?

Poor him...
