Chapter 12: Chapter 12
You could probably figure out how beautiful and entrancing she was by the way the guys were frozen in place, had their jaws dropped down to the floor and eyes popped out, almost in a comical manner.
Whereas the girls were fuming in anger and jealousy over such a seemingly perfect woman.
She got out from the car, walking in an elegant fashion. But what did this woman do that wasn’t elegant? She had an air about her and a somewhat casual-classic attitude, keeping her head high, as she wasn’t the newest hot topic on campus. The way she was ignoring the flood of people chattering with no shame about her was really impressive.
Suddenly, with no warning, a guy pops out of nowhere in front of her, blocking her path. He was holding a rose in his hand, as he sat down on one knee. The chattering and whispers were getting wilder and louder. The guy had guts, daring to do such a cheesy and disrespectful thing right in front of
The Ananya Oberio
For sure, it was not a common scene to be seen. The students lost their minds.
The man spoke first, mainly because Ananya was staring at him with an unreadable expression. He was expecting a bit more of a reaction out of her, but maybe she was just one of those shy girls, waiting to be courted by a handsome guy like him, he though. “Hi, baby” He winked in a very awkward manner and made a weird face, that was, maybe, supposed to be appealing. “Go out with me, okay? I’ll give you everything you dream for and even more” He sounded like a total asshole.
“Do you even know me?” Ananya spoke with such obvious disgust in her tone, making the guy look a little pathetic.
“No, but it’d be great to get to know you.” How much more pathetic was this guy willing to get?!
Ananya laughs to herself, a dark cackle coming from her beautiful lips that could make even the bravest person shiver and leans down to whisper in the man’s ear. “If you got to know me, you wouldn’t dare to come near me again.”
She leaves the guy on his knees and the students wondering what just happened, what was said in this weird exchange with Ananya. He didn’t seem to get the cue and Ananya’s disinterest, because he got up and followed her to the canteen with no worries.
With god-knows-what courage, he approaches her again.
“Stop following me. I don’t even know your name.” She said, the cold timber of her voice making known her lack of interest, but of course the guy took this as an invitation to introduce himself.
“Oh, babygirl, you’re so sexy that I even forgot to tell you my name!” Making his signature move, the wink, he continued. “I’m Harshad Saxena.”
“Harshad” She said, not even sparing him a glance. ”Stay away from me from now on.”
By this time, the a small amount of college was present in the parking lot. Seniors, juniors, everyone was thriving off the drama. It was really a great day from them, taking a break from studies and watching some free television show.
The juniors were still busy watching the friend group and Naina and Ishaani, while the some of the seniors crowded in the canteen to continue watching Ananya and Harshad’s exchange.
“Don’t be scared, baby.” Harshad continued, showing no sign of stopping. “I know all the cute girls are crazy for me, but you shouldn’t be intimidated. I chose you after all.” He said while winking again.
“Well, Harshad.” She decided she was going to give him a little attention, for a bit of amusement. The guy seemed to really lack any kind of smarts. ”I’m not a girl who goes crazy for guys. I’m a girl who guys go crazy for.” When she smirked, all the seniors went wild, shouting at Harshad, saying that Ananya was out of his league. Well, Ananya didn’t really care about what they think either way. Even so, she can’t help but appreciate when she sees Harshad, finally, getting the hint, confusion spreading on his face.
Harshad felt the whole world spinning around him. No girl ever spoke like that to him, hurting his ego in such a manner. Who knows what his pea brain was thinking when he decided to forcefully grab Ananya’s wrist.
A loud noise echoes in the canteen.
In the next moment, everyone’s attention, including the friend group’s (Excluding Karan, who was lost in Navya’s gaze and vice versa), was on the duo. Their faces looked as if a bomb had fallen from the sky, destroying the whole campus. Maybe even worse.
Thud...
Harshad fell down with such a force that he landed directly at Karan’s feet, disturbing his and Navya’s intense eye contact. All the eyes weren’t on him though, or Karan’s half-confused-half-annoyed look, but on the woman in front of them.
Yes, what just happened was… the Ananya Oberio's famous punch.
Karan looked down at Harshad, then he looked up to see who had such brute force to do such a thing. But before he could register what has happening, he found himself bumped onto one of the tables from the canteen, with food thrown into his face.
Yes, there goes another punch.
Karthik and Yash looked as if they saw the Devil. They were so terrified of what just transpired, that they just vanished from the canteen and, soon enough, from the campus too. Everyone else was still in shock.
On the other hand, Alya was extremely pissed off. Rather than scared, she looked scandalized. In front of Ananya, to have such an attitude, right after she just punched two people?! It was as admirable as Harshad’s ignorance. “Hey, you! Do you even know who we are?!” Alya screamed, at the top of her tolerance for today’s events. “How the hell-“
