Nandini's Pov

The first day of college feels like a swarm of emotions, I am happy that I am in college but nervous because I don't know how hard classes will be. I mean I know I have some friends from school in my classes but still it's nerve wracking for me.

My phone rang as I stepped out of the metro and was walking towards the entrance of the college. Digging in my bag I finally grabbed my phone out of the bottom of my bag.

"Hello" I blurt out kind of speed walking to the college

"Where the hell are you girl" cabir, my brother well not biological brother said on the other end of the line

"Im just walking in cabir, what's wrong?"

I heard a lot of background noise and also heard him sigh really loud

"Wrong? no no Nandini if you don't get here in the next minute someone is getting detention on the first day" he said

I could hear the frustration in his voice

"Not again man, where are you?" I asked on the phone

"At the back of the college"

"Ill be there" I said rushing over to the back

There was a huge crowd at the back of the college, I pushed through a bit but god I had crowds.

There he was, standing there with red body knuckles, a guy in front of him with blood dripping down the corner of his lips.

Shaking my head I pushed ahead more and glared at cabir who stood there with a frown on his face

"Enough" I said grabbing the back of my stupid best friend's arm

He turned around and seeing me his grip loosened on the guy letting go of him. The guy fell on the ground and I yanked my best friend away from the crowd towards the canteen.

I pushed him a little causing him to sit on the chair. He was huffing in anger but I knew it wasn't anger for me, it was or whoever that boy was that he was beating up.

"Breath" I said opening my bag setting it on the table in front of him

"Breath my foot" he huffs

"Enough Manik" I glared at him shoving the water bottle to his chest

He grabbed the water and took a few sips

"I swear to god I would have killed that asshole" he said like it's not a big deal

"Manik" I said

"What"

"Enough I said"

He looked at me with a hard face.

"It's bullsht"

"Manik it doesn't matter. college hasn't even started and you are getting into fights for no apparent reason. Why are you trying to get detention or expulsion on the first day" I asked grabbing the first aid box cabir handed me

"He called me a bitch becasue I refused to get in a boxing ring with him. The fuck was I supposed to do with that?" i shook my head at him

"Watch your language and you simply walk away from such situations, is that understood" I asked

"No it isn't, let go" he said when I started cleaning the blood of his knuckles

"Manik stop it" I said glaring at him

His eyes moved from his knuckles to my eyes, a beautiful smile replaced the frown on his face.

"Tu kab tak esehi karegi" he asked

"Jab tak tu yeh ladna ni chodega" i said

He shook his head a little at me while I cleaned his knuckles

"Oh my god, I heard there was a fight. Who won?" here comes mukti, our friend

"No one, Nandini came before I could knock him out" manik said with absolutely no shame

"Shame on yourself manik seriously" I said smacking his bicep

"Ahh ouch, you are hurting an injured person" he said making me glare at him

this made mukti and cabir both laugh, I swear everyone in our friend group is messed up in the head

"Well we both know you were wining" mukti said

"How would you know that" cabir asked

"The whole internet" she said showing manik pictures and videos of him fighting the guy

I bandaged his knuckles and grabbed my bag.

"Nandini dar" he said getting up as I got up from the chair walking out of the canteen

"No manik, enough" I said

"Nandini" he called

"What" I asked turned around

"He started it"

"It doesn't matter who starts it, you cannot be fighting people like that" I said

"Okay fine I'm sorry" he said wrapping his arm around my neck following me to our first class

"Sorry doesn't cut it manik"

"Forget it na Nandini, subha subha tang mat kar yar" manik said sitting by me as we reached class

"Fine"

I swear it's like he doesn't give a shit about himself and sure ya I get it but he knows what he means to me and how much he means to me yet he does these shitty little things that can hurt him

I grabbed my laptop out and started a document for our biology class which is the class mukti, cabir, manik and I have together.

"Nandini rehenai dai na, tu janti toh hai na manik ko" mukti said kissing my cheek

"Muku it's not about that, he keeps getting into fights that are unnecessary"

"Nandini baba cha sorry, idhar dekh" manik siad making cabir and mukti smile as they got in their seats behind manik and I

I looked over at manik to see him smiling which irritates me but gosh it makes me smile seeing him smile.

There is something about his smile that melts my anger and he knows that very well which is why he is smiling like that

"What?" I asked

"Sorry baba, ab ni hoga" he said wrapping his arm around the back of my chair

"Tujhai pata hai na mujhai yeh sab ladai and all ni pasand" i asked

"Janta hu aur tujhai mera guasa pata hai na" he asked back making me chuckle because he was mocking my voice

"Bas, esehi hasti raha kar, teri hasi pai toh jaan bli hazir hai" he mumbled kissing my head

"Manik please, I hate seeing you hurt"

He pulled my chair closer to him and rested his head on my shoulder.

"I know, I will try to control it" he said

"Promise" I asked

"I promise" he whispered

"Lo bhyi ho gayi sulha dono ki" cabir said

"Bhai this isn't fair you always take his side"

he chuckled making me pout, I swear everyone just ahh. Bhai kissed my head followed by mukti who kissed my cheek

"We love you more than him" she whispered in my ear making me giggle

"Liar" I said

she shook her head making me laugh.

The professor entered the class and the whole room went quiet as we all straightened up.

"Hello everyone, lets begin by introductions, so introduce yourself to the person next to you becasue they will be your partner all year round and then we all go over the syllabus" he stated and. The room burst out in chatter whereas Manik was busy on his phone

"Off it now" I said yanking his phone away making him look up

"You know if it were anyone else that snatched my phone, they would be done with" he said

"Doesn't matter, now will you explain why such fights and arguments" I asked

"Nothing yar" he said but I knew he was lying

"Uncle kai such kaha" I asked

His face stiffened

"Mani" I whispered

"Forget it nandini" his tone was sharp and harsh so I knew his father said something

Manik doesn't get along with his father for many reasons but the one that stands out to me is the fact that both of them are stubborn and hot headed

"Mani" I whispered again

"Please drop it" he said, eyes on his hands as he fiddled with the bandage

"Pasta banau aj" I asked diverting the topic

He nodded with a small smile

"Mai terai sath rehung aj" he said making me laugh

"We live together Manik" I blurt out in between my laugh

"Feel lenai dai" he said chuckling

I smiled seeing him messing around with me, mukti, cabir, Manik, I and a couple other people live together becasue it was cheaper to live together and more fun that way.

"Tu lai puri feel lai" I said

"Okay everyone lets go over the syllabus" the teacher said

As we went over the syllabus, and some content, Manik was on his phone. This boy makes me wanna pull my hair out becasue I know now he will sulk around when its exam time.

The class ended and we went to our other classes and lastly I went to my English class which I had alone.
