Hey Sweetheart

Chapter 16

Shrithik made a disgusted face. And ran his hands over his face.

"I do?"
She nodded. He was looking very troubled.

"Ahh...you don't look that evil. You just have that same smile. Nothing much."

Shrithik nodded with a troubled face.
"Yeah. You already have a evil face. And that sinister smile of yours adds the evilness. So it's logical that you look more bad."
His troubled face slowly turned mischievous. And he had that evil smile.
He knew that Sameera cannot even give a good comeback because her friends were back.
He had a smug look while Sameera was glaring at him.

"You know, you've started acting weird lately."
Raj stated, looking at Sameera intensely.

She turned around.
"When have I not? You only tell me that I am a weirdo."

He nodded and Shivam replied.
"Yeah, you are. But you are acting more strange. Like glaring into thin air. Smiling for no reason and you've even started to talk to yourself. Is there something wrong?"

Sameera shook her head in no slowly. She never really thought about it, that her friends will notice this much.

"That's nothing. It's just......nothing."
She was looking down on her lap when she felt fingers brushing on her nape. She's very ticklish with these kinds of small brushings and less when somebody actually tickles her.
And as you know, Shrithik doesn't come in somebody.

She jerked her head up. Shrithik was grinning while still brushing his fingers on the nape of her neck. He loves it when she's startled. It's just a view to watch.

Sameera couldn't control her movements. She was trying not to squirm but failing.

Maaya's worried voice brought her back from her trance in which she was frying Shrithik.

"Hey.....are you okay?"

"Yeah...I guess?"
Shrithik's fist was in his mouth, preventing him from laughing. He's been laughing a lot lately.

Sameera was feeling embarrassed. She never got embarrassed in front of her friends. Her cheeks were growing red and her friends were aware of it.

"I-I should go."
She stood up and headed towards her home as her classes were over. Shrithik was also walking beside her kicking the gravel on his path. His hands were in his pocket.

"You've never been this embarrassed before, right?"
He asked and she hummed in agreement.

"Wait a minute!! How do you know?"
Shrithik smirked.
He's always been good at reading people. A little extra good. Somehow he guesses next to near what someone is thinking.

"Your friends had it written on their faces."
She nodded. After a few minutes he once again spoke.

"Looks like I am the only one who has got this power. To embarrass you."

"That's not true!!"
She whined knowing very well that it's true.

"Oh yeah?! You surely lie too much."
Sameera gaped at him. If she would have said the same line to Shivam, he definitely would have doubted himself.
