"So? Did you got selected?" I asked Trisha as soon as I got in her room.

"They said they'll call, but I don't think I'll get selected"

"Why are you saying this" I asked her.

"Just a feeling! Everyone interview I gave today they weren't impressed by me" she said looking somewhere.

"Don't worry it's your first try! You'll get a job soon!" I said cheering her up.

"I Hope so! By the way, how was your first day?"

''It was good, people are nice there at least the ones in my class are" I said.

A few days later at college

I was in the library skipping through the fictional section. Those are the only books I read and enjoy. I was removing the book reading the titles and keeping it back because they were all boring.

Where are the spicy romance books?

I removed a book looked at and carelessly tucked it back but it fell. Before it could touch the ground somebody caught it.

"Woah woah, what are you doing girl?" That guy asked me

"Sorry, it fell by mistake" I retorted.

"I have been watching you for a few minutes, you seem frustrated," he said.

"Nothing, I can't find what I want" I muttered in distress.

"And what do you want?" He asked.

"And why should I tell you that?" who's he anyway.

"Did you forget me? I am Rajvardhan Mohite" He asked.

"And when exactly did we meet?"I don't remember him.

"We met in the corridor, remember I bumped into you," he said.

"Oh yes! You were running away from some girls" I recalled.

"Yes! I am that guy! I didn't get to say sorry properly, I am sorry" he said.

"No, it's fine! Why were you running anyway?" we started walking towards the library benches and sat in front of each other.

"You don't know me?" he again asked looking surprised.

"Well, you just introduced yourself a few minutes back so?" I asked in confusion

"No not like that, actually I am quite famous here." He whispered

"That I figured. But why are you famous?"I asked curiously, is he one of those popular bullies or captain of a team?

He leaned closer and whispered "I make reels on Instagram"

"So you are a social media star?" I asked.

"You can say that!" He shrugged his shoulders

"Sorry, I have never heard about you! How many followers do you have?"I asked.

"That you should find out yourself. You are on Instagram, right? what's your Id?" He asked.

"I didn't even tell you my name. I am Aarohi Sharma and that's also my Insta Id" I replied

"Nice name Aarohi! I haven't seen you around you new here?" He inquired

"Yes, I joined this semester. I am in the fashion designing department. Which course are you doing?" I happily conversed

"I am doing a bachelor's in theater," he said. So he is into acting and stuff noicee!

Third person pov:

They both kept talking. Aarohi got to know how he was never given importance in this college. He never made friends until his reels on Instagram went viral and people started acknowledging him.

Aarohi has talked to boys before but never made guy friends. Raj seems very easygoing. Their vibe seems to match. they don't know for how many hours they were talking but it was not boring at all.

"Oh shit! It's already 4!"I said looking at my phone.

"We missed our lunch didn't we"
Raj said.

"Do you wanna grab something together?" I insisted.

"Yeah sure!" he said enthusiastically.

While on our way I called Trisha to meet us at the cafe. She had an interview nearby so she also joined us

Me and Raj clicked some pictures till Trisha came.

Even Trisha & Raj bonded quickly. We three talked so
much, like long-lost friends.

After bidding our goodbyes we left the cafe.

"Nice guy isn't he?" I asked Trisha.

"Yeah, it didn't feel awkward with him"

My phone pinged and I looked at the screen.

Aarohi was going home after attending her classes she has to complete her designs in a few days and submit them.

She was walking towards the gate when someone held her elbow and turned her around.

Aarohi Pov

"How do you know Raj?" was the first thing I heard.

I was surprised would be an understatement. My best friend or should I say ex-best friend who I haven't talked to since I came back is standing in front of me looking like I killed her dog!

"No hi? No hello?" I asked.

"Oh please, cut this bullshit! How do you know Raj?" she asked getting frustrated.

"And I should tell you that because?" Does she thinks she can come and get angry all of a sudden and I'll answer her nicely?

"You won't change will you?" by now she was fuming in anger I can see that

"Wtf are you talking about?" even I am pissed now.

"Bitch please, you are gonna act all innocent now?" She said with attitude.

"Seriously what is your problem? You don't answer my text and calls, you show up all of a sudden and get all angry at me?" I shouted

"Why? You don't know what you did? Or what you have been doing all these years?" She retorted sassily.

"Look I seriously don't have time for all this nonsense I am hungry! If you are not gonna say it properly I'll leave" I said and turned around to leave.

I want to go home eat and sleep!

"You are gonna play the victim now?!" I heard her saying but I never stopped. You wanna talk in puzzle keep talking to yourself I don't have time.

But I was again turned around by the one and only Riya!

"You can't walk away when I am talking to you!" She shouted

"Then speak clearly" I said folding my hands near my chest.

"Why do you always have to steal my crush?" Riya questioned.

"When did I steal your crush?" what is she talking about? If Raj is her crush when did I steal him?

Riya just chuckled and said "When? Ask yourself when did you not? You have been doing this since childhood"

"Riya I have always tried to set you up with every guy you ever liked"

"Tried to set me up or you tried to set yourself?" Riya argued.

Tried to set myself?

Ever since we were kids I have always tried to get her whatever she wanted boys were one of them.

In High school, I always tried to help her with her crush. Some of them genuinely weren't interested, some of them already had someone they liked, and not everyone is trying to get a relationship in high school.

Every time she showed someone she liked I never saw them more than a friend because my best friend had a crush on them. only two of the boys she liked proposed to me but I rejected them.

Did she ever asked me if I like someone or not? No! It was about her every time. I also liked a few guys but the minute she said they are her crush I stopped. It felt like I am betraying my friend.

She basically liked half of the school and when they weren't interested she moved to someone else.

I never took it to heart because it's just boys! They are not more important to me than my best friend!

"You always tried to show me how rich you are and how everyone loves you! You are a pick me you know that" Riya said breaking my chain of thoughts.

Riya came from a middle-class family. They weren't rich before. her parents were always working they never paid attention to her.

That's why every time I thought about her before me. If I get something I'll buy it for her too so she doesn't feel left out!

Her parents never took time for her so I bought her with me everywhere every time! Even to the family trips which were supposed to be only family because I considered them as family! My family did too! They treated her like their own

But I guess I was wrong

"I never-" Before I can speak she cut me off.

"Don't deny it! We both know how you always showed off your money! and how your family treats you like you are some sort of precious princess! because you know my family never treated me like that!" Riya said

True! Her parents were never home but they were doing it for their future only. She and her brother also doesn't share a good relationship like I do with my brother.

"You always got everything on a silver platter, Just because your family is Rich!" She said.

"Is this how you felt? All this year with me?" All this year did she really thought that I am bragging about my parent's money?

"Yes I did what else do you expect?" she retorted angrily.

I was going to speak but she again spoke "I tried to think you'll change but you didn't? You came back to my college whyyy? To brag about your princess life again?"

"So this is the reason you have been avoiding me?" I said meekly.

"Don't start to cry now! I am warning you this last time stay away from Raj or this time I won't spare you!" she said and left leaving me there alone.

What about our friendship all this year? She was thinking about me like this when we were still best friends. Or at least that's what I thought she was.

Is it my fault my family is Rich? I know I got everything thing on a silver platter without even asking for it but Is it my fault?

I never bragged about being rich!

I have always kept friendship first. All this year when I was trying to make her feel happy she was thinking about me like this?

My friendship never mattered to her. My efforts never mattered to her.

Enough is enough now! Why do I always think about others before me? if thinking about others makes you feel like this I don't wanna feel this!

She wants to break this friendship for some stupid boys? Go ahead I don't care! I'll care about people who really care about me!

I am pick me? So be it I won't change myself for anyone!

If I am selfish I'll be selfish I don't care!!
