Aarav's POV

"Hi, I am Pihu"
I turned to observe the owner of the voice. Short girl, cute smile. Ok,she looks decent.
"Hello, I am Aarav"
New college. New people. New girls. New looks. That's the rule right?
I never had a problem with acceptance because with my looks and my demour, I had always received it. Sometimes way too much than my liking. What else do you accept a fitness model, mma fighter to receive?
Not being arrogant and not boasting but I have achieved those looks. I have achieved those stares, those acceptance because I worked hard for all of it.
"I was talking to you buddy"
Oh Pihu. Yeah had completely forgotten about her.
"Yeah sorry, You were saying?"
"I was saying I joined here yesterday and I like you. Would you go out with me?"
"What!?!?"
"I said I like you and would want to date you. Would you go out with me?"
"Isn't this supposed to be our first meeting?"
"Yes it sure is but you know, couples are made in heaven."
"Uh..okay see let's get to know each other first?"
The girl looks decent but man who dates a girl just after the first meet?
"Sure. I am ok with that."
"Cool"
"Come babe, we will grab that seat" she said holding my hand.
Okay. What is happening here, didn't I just tell her we should get to know each other first. Fine whatever.
I learned a couple of things about Pihu in less than three hours.
First she speaks a lot. Stuff that I don't want to listen.
Second she never leaves your hand. Never.
But okay I think I can manage. I wasn't able to gel with anyone else in the class because she practically wouldn't let me go anywhere.
"Guys please just listen to me once." came a voice as the door opened. Blue jumpsuit. Average hair. Good height. Might be a senior.  I have no idea why but my eyes didn't go anywhere else but her. That's another point that I missed half of what she said.
"Listen dude. You guys have no idea why this is happening but if I am asking you to follow something, why don't you just listen for once?" She was busy scolding one of my classmates. This girl is a total badass. A good looking badass. When she announced  about wearing all bows tomorrow, my voice just couldn't keep quite.
"I am so not going to be formally dressed."
"Well do you think I am giving you a choice here?"
She was on point rude. She left just after she gave me a piece of her mind. No one has ever being rude to me. I don't take rudeness. I hate rudeness. Why the Fuck did she have to be so mean. I was supposed to be angry. Very angry but amidst all this, why was a smile forming on my face. This girl sure had something. She definitely is something different. Something that I had never seen in girls. I had a secret urge to impress this girl. Not exactly impress but ughh how do I explain what just happened inside me because it is confusing the shit out of me.
Okay senior you will see me dressed in formals tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the view. Well you definitely would.

One down. That's my count. Count of seniors coming to my class with that badass good looking senior in blue jumpsuit. Maybe I was becoming popular. Maybe even she found me good looking. Maybe even she was going through the same that I was.
"Baby I am talking to you. Why do you keep looking or more like staring at Kiah whenever she is around?" Pihu obviously
"Oh so her name's Kiah. Nice name!"
"I don't care. Why do you look at her that way. I am way too jealous. I don't like her."
"What way? I am just looking around dude. Chill"
I saw one of my classmates speak something to Kiah and her face instantly fell. She looked at me and I automatically smiled back . I still don't know why. She momentarily smiled but that look returned and soon after she left. What had Pankhudi told her? Why was she upset? No Aarav the point is why is it bothering you? No answer.

The next day came and as I entered the class, I was bombarded with questions.
"Dude you are dating Pihu?"
Even before I could  answer
"Yeah we are dating. He is my boyfriend. Right baby?"
Pihu was  clinging to my arms.
"One second. Listen"
I couldn't finish my statement when there was a call to assemble
for the guest lecture. Okay so now I was having a girlfriend. I didn't even bother explaining anything to anyone now. Too much pain dude. I didn't care it seemed.

"Hey! Have a seat" I couldn't control offering Kiah the seat next to me when i saw her standing just few centimetres always from me.
"Thank you. Hey. I am Kiah"
"Aarav. Nice to meet you "
That started our conversation. Finalky she had spoken to me. I wanted to know so much . Talk so much. Suddenly I felt the time should just stop. She speaks a lot but I liked listening to her.We laughed. We smiled.
Apart from Pihu's jealousy it was all perfect. Why was she so jealous was way above my understanding. Pulling my hand towards her repeatedly. But my thoughts kept shifting to Kiah.
She is a kid at heart. A combination of mature amd immature. Outgoing. Fun loving. Pure at heart. Bubbly. Chirpy. Full of life.
I think I am falling for her!
