Destiny

New Friend

Srivi's POV:

"Wait, are you alone here?"I asked him.

"There's someone too" he replied.

Out of blue, I felt a tickling feeling in my heart...wait, is that even a sentence? who cares, but that's exactly how I'm feeling right now. Some happy kinda weird sensation.

I didn't want to sound desperate, because it's the second time I'm asking.

"Just someone you know" he smiled sheepishly.

"Who cares"I rolled my eyes.

"Ahem...who's he? you never mentioned that you are dating a handsome man. Oh..oh..wait, is he the Greek god you were asking the previous day?"Sasha giggled.

Alec cleared his throat.

"Ugh, watch your mouth"I hit her. She sat beside me.

"Hi, I'm Sasha and you are..?"She glanced at Alec and then me.

Oh shit...who's he? what should I say now? oh god, I'm dead, I'm dead

"Earth to Sri," Saha said.

"Ah..sorry..he's...Alec and he..."I stuttered.

"I'm Alec, Transfer student" he stretched his hands and they had a handshake.

She again started glancing at me and Alec

"What?"

"Who's he? Do you know him way before?"

"What do you think?"

"Shut up and say"We both were talking with eyes.

"Ahem..guys I'm still here" he gave an awkward look.

"ah..actually I met him just now. I sat alone and he joined me. We are just knowing about each other...you know some introduction talk" I said in one breath.

"Okay...Okay, I got it"she laughed. Alec gave me a confused look.

"Will tell you later"I sent him a text.

"Here, this way Jake"Kriti walked in and someone followed her.

I couldn't see clearly who it was. They reached us and my heart started pounding. I can clearly hear my heartbeat and I'm feeling anxious as well. I kept my hand on my heart. And he came into light.

"David" I whispered to myself.

I stood up in surprise or maybe in aww? or maybe I missed him and my body wants to throw itself on him?OK, I will strike off the last one. I'm quite shocked so in disbelief I stood up.

Alec got up as well "Hey, you finally found me," he said.

*Wait, isn't that supposed to be my dialogue?*

"Aren't you glad?"David hit him in the stomach joyfully with a smile.

*Did he just smile?OMG...and he's in jeans and Tee? I can't believe it. Who told him to wear half sleeves..ugh, show off*

"Guys..he's Jake and he's a transfer student. He's a bit confused about the directions, so I thought of helping him"Kri smiled.

*Jake?JAKE?Seriously?It can't be right?*

"Oh, wow..here we also have another transfer student. Feels like they know each other"Sasha said with a smile. Both boys smiled.

Sasha whispered something in my ears. First of all, I'm irritated and I don't even know why I'm irritated and that is making me more irritated. Maybe this is what 'Backward loop of hell' mentioned in The Subtle Art of Not Giving f**k.

"Can you be loud? because I didn't understand a single word you said"I yelled.

"Girl, I think he is the Greek god you were searching for, "Sasha said loudly.

By hearing those words my eyes went wide.

*Oh god..no..no..not another embarrassment please*

He laughed. I stood there being awkward and processing what's happening.

"No..no..you are flattering me"David laughed.

*Am I dreaming? Is he really laughing..let me tell you how rare it is to see him laugh...it's just like you find a shooting star on any random day*

"Am I the one, miss...?" he asked. I rolled my eyes.

"You wish"I scoffed.

"Ah..sorry my bad, I forgot to introduce you guys. Jake this is Sasha and the other one is Srivi"Kri introduced us. Sasha and David exchanged a smile.

"Srivi".The way he spelled my name, there's a longing in it. I again felt something inside my stomach...a way of excitement.

We did a handshake. "And you are?"I asked.

"David Jake" he smiled.

"I like the Jake part more. So, I'm sticking to it."Kri smiled.

We all sat. "And yeah I forgot to mention, he's from our major"Kri said and again another wave of shock hit me. I choked on my drink.

I looked at Kri and Alec and then stopped at David's. He's staring at me...More like he's staring right into my soul. I gulped. For the first time, I didn't stop what he's doing to my body. He's intimidating...There's this tense feeling in me. I let out a smile.

"what might be the reason? Why did you choose the literature?"I asked.

"Cos there's something I like in it" he smirked.

His eyes are sparkling, he feels more attractive when he's smiling. I don't know what to reply to.

ah...huh? I thought to myself.

I gave a smile"yeah, literature is something like that which catches people's interests" I say.

"So, only two of you?"Kri asked Alec and David.

"No there's another one"Sasha and Alec replied at the same time.

"Huh?"I said being confused."How do you know?"I asked Sasha.

"There's one boy in our class too, Maybe he will be coming from tomorrow, our dep. head said to me"Sasha spoke while sipping on her coffee.

I turned to Alec "And?"

"It's Scar" he replied.

"SCAR" I whisper yelled.

"Why are you reacting like you already know her and loath her from your very being"Sasha laughed.

"Hehe...I mean scar...isn't the name weird..like the scars we get?"I gave an awkward smile.

"It's Scarlet," David said.

"Someone's thinking of me."There comes a female voice.

"No..no...no.These people gonna make my life miserable again"I mentally facepalmed.
