"so you wanna tell us something?" Kavya asked as she shifted sitting crossed legs on the Greenfield.

Riya grumbled under her breath drawing xerophytic plant more like stabbing it out, she didn't like biology.

And me?
well, I didn't like any subjects. We bunked the Computers period because honestly no one studies computer and by some grace of god's misplaced blessings I was good at programming.

Yeah,

Even I don't believe it

When Lux said he wanted me to be his spy. I almost fainted. Because this would be shocking for anyone. Even for an actual professional spy. In two days two jobs! That also on each other! Once in a millennial kinda case I got.
God... if I was a spy then what would be the scenario, I wondered. Without knowing not even an S of Spy I managed to bag two offers I seriously was confused when this had happened how I appeared to be so qualified for this post?

So I did what a sane person should have done. I ran away

I picked my things
and ran away from there.

Because yes I needed money

But I didn't need a more messed up life

Barely I was able to survive the current one. I was afraid of how more complicated can it get.

However, the night came and my mind changed.

In the morning I was torn between what to do and what not to do. And then I realized I have friends I should of course make use of them.

So here I am now,

Kavya in short pants showing her long legs were gaining quite some eyes from boys on the basketball team. Aryan purposely dribbled the ball around us from now and then.

Kavya rolled her green eyes she was so pretty even I would've had hit on her if I were a boy. But since I wasn't I was kinda jealous of her flawless fair skin. She's a college student approx 2 years older than us. I shook my head at Aryan in disapproval Sharam kar yrr badi h.

Aryan flipped me off

"Go away!" Riya shouted glaring at him.

"No worries, "I said smiling, "I don't care"

"Teach your failure friend something freak" Aryan smirked.

My eyebrows furrowed, I didn't like how he changes his attitude towards me. Sometimes he was so nice and sometimes so mean. The guy had personality disorder I guess.

"Maybe Lux would also teach you a thing or two" Riya said innocently.

Aryan stepped back muttering, "whatever"

I raised my brow at her. So she could use his name but disapprove of my - my what ?? I shook my head.

Kavya covered her face with hands
"This brings back an embarrassing memory from my highschool times" she reminiscent it sighing,

Riya and I snorted. Kavya graduated last year only.

"Okay, it's all over I am so happy now! Anyway kids what do you want to tell I have lectures in 20 mins"

I shifted holding my hands tightly,"I want to tell you guys about a secret"

Riya dropped her pencil with suspicion crossing over her face,"you meant about a trouble?"

"Oh this sounds exciting" Kavya leaned forward.

I cleared my throat taking my own time, "so you know Lux?"

Riya stared at me blankly.

While Kavya shook her head in clear confusion," who's Lux who's Lux I don't know guys! Why I am out of the loop why I feel so left out!"

"Laksh the one who's father is The most wanted criminal -"

"Sath khoon maaf!" Kavya guessed it pointing her finger at nothing as if Lux just appeared there and then. I turned and checked just to be sure of.

"Yeah same but not Priyanka"I told with a forced smile.

"So what did he do?". Kavya asked.

"Okay well do you know Ishaan? I questioned.

Riya glared at me now impatient.

"Oh I know you went for ice cream with him such a darling boy he is"
Kavya sighed in relief sitting back then understanding dawn making her eyes widened her head snapped to me and mine to Riya.

"Avi didn't tell me about this.. " Riya whispered spookily sharpening her pencil.

"I-I " okay distraction time! A big major distraction!

"He wanted me to spy on Lux and yesterday Lux said the same"I spurted out in one breath.

Kavya frowned," wait I can't understand why will Lux want you to spy on himself??"

I wished more people were with Kavya's type of mind. The world would be a happier and so not complicated place then.

But unfortunately, the majority had Riya's kind of, she folded her arms, "how ridiculous, are they out of their minds?" She said.

"Oh well I don't know" I laughed, they seemed crazy enough to pay me.

"You didn't agree with all this nonsensical. Because Avi this from nowhere makes any sense Why will they ask you just out of nowhere. Unless you have any experience in spying? Are you sure they weren't joking?" Riya continued the interrogation.

That could be.

What if it was a prank a well planned prank. I could actually see Ishaan and Lux laughing together.

Wait rewind that, Lux Laughing?

Nope I can't see that

But she was right about one thing this all spying thing wasn't making any sense

"Just because it looks like an escape from something you are dealing with right now, don't indulge in it. You have a lot on your plate Avi" Kavya advised softly like a protective mother hen.

I never told much about me to them. I never invited them to my house. They asked about my parents I
vaguely answered it that they don't live here. Still they knew and saw through my acts of I am fine and happy. They were really good friends and I might be silly, freak or a liar but I follow my friends' advice if they think I shouldn't get into whatever Ishaan and Lux had. Then I would make sure I be out of it but I can't say anything about not watching them.

"Hey"

I jerked up startled by his voice.

Then buried my groan in the hand as he slid in the seat next to me. I had purposely chosen a corner most in the last row seat. Was avoiding Lux and the explanation he sure would want as to why I just ran off when he asked that SPY.. not so everyday type of question you hear.

"Look I am okay you don't have to just be joined to my hip by whole freaking school hours!" I burst at him.

Everybody stared at me in disbelief.

"Please" I added looking up at him finally, making it less harsh. Last thing I wanted now was to study.

It was Ishaan

Shit!

Tanya glared at me from adjacent actually all girls of their group glared at me what did I do???

Oops! I took refuge in the wrong territory.

Ishaan just smiled

Spoiler alert fake smiled

"Freak this is not your seat" he said but his eyes said he didn't mean it or I was just reading it too much.

The class laughed like the funniest joke on earth was cracked.

This not your seat!!

Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahahah

What had happened to the sense of humor of today's generation?

"This is not my seat!!" I told expecting another round of laughter.

No?
Alright

I got up but a second voice stopped me into half sitting half standing awkward position.

"This is my seat," Lux said tapping where Ishaan sat.

Oh

Oh

War!

War for seat?
