How dare he call me ugly. I turned to look he was already staring me, I stared him eye to eye. I crushed the note and threw it in dustbin, his eyes squinted telling me that he didn't like that. Without paying any more attention, I returned to my table. Everyone was staring very hard like I am an alien or something. I excused myself to the washroom.

Washroom was fully empty as all girls were busy looking at those four boys. I stared at my reflection in mirror. I locked some hair behind my ear. Did he really mean it or he was just teasing me ? Maybe he was right. I was looking good with makeup. Naina is fabulous in makeup. I would have ended up like a monkey if I had taken on the responsibility of doing this makeup myself. But I can't attend classes like this. I splashed cold water and my foundation came off. After few more splashes, my face was all clear. I put on some moisturizer, lip and cheek tint, tied my hair in a low ponytail and left the room.

On my way back to lunchroom, someone took my rubberband off and my curly hair fell on my back. I turned around in shock to see a very unexpected face. What did this guy need, now ??

" Heyy" I protested, trying to grab my rubberband back from his hand. He raised it higher. Why is he so tall ? I observed a girl behind him who was looking at both of us, surprise written all over her face. I quickly turned around and started rushing. He grabbed my wrist. " What are you doing ? "

" Why do you always run when I talk ?" He asked making an irritated face. Even though he was not holding too tight I struggled to make myself free from his grasp.

" Someone is watching us, " I whispered slowly.

" So ?? " He questioned loudly, now more irritated and confused.

" If one of your fangirl caught the air that you touched me or even talked to me, people will be eating my skin tommorow on their plates. " I spoke in an extremely obvious tone. He pursed her lips.

" Nobody will hurt you, Roy. " He stated calmly.

" And why so ? "

"Because I won't let them to. " I cleared my throat as those words felt awkward. " You are my hostage and I won't let anyone hurt my hostage." A proud smile on his face. Crazy bastard.

" What do you want to talk about ?" I asked.

" Why did you remove the makeup ? I never told you to. " He asked ignoring my question.

" I can't attend classes like this plus I am super uncomfortable. You didn't mention that I have to wear it whole day. " I spoke in a low tone. Please be convinced. " Please. " I tried when he didn't say anything.

" Fine ." He spoke and I sighed in relief. " You have detention today ? "

" Hmm, why ?"

" Nothing, I have to talk to you about something. " He said and started walking away.

" Wait..," I called him and he looked back. His hair falling on his forehead mesmerizingly from the sudden change in direction, his blank grey eyes staring curiously in mine. He raised his eyebrows and I finally spoke. " Just say here. Why after detention ?"

" I don't want to." He stated in his usual arrogant tone. He again started his progress.

" Heyy, my rubberband." I yelled as I realised.

" I am taking it so you don't tie them again." He yelled back raising my black hairtie in air without turning or stopping. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it as it will be of no use.

After completing my half classes, we all went to lunchroom. Ahaan was sitting on our usual table, taking our plate we joined him.

" Where were you this morning ?" I asked as he skipped the breakfast.

" I was with professor mishra. " He answered me, usual smile on his face. Ahaan had straight hair unlike nishit. And he was tall but not as him. Ahaan had brown eyes, chocolate brown. " Did he trouble you ?"

I hesitated at his question. After few seconds I decided to not tell him that. " No." I said.

" Who troubled who ?" Naina asked to not anyone particular. I explained the whole story to her.

" Woah......this is just like enemy to lovers. " She exclaimed in happiness.

" Shut up, naina !! " I and ahaan both scolded her at the same time.

After finishing lunch, we all attended the rest of our classes. In the end, me and naina parted ways, she went to dorm and I went to detention class. I never attended detention class, not even once. This boy has come yesterday and today I got my first detention because of him. Such a bad influence he is.

I entered the classroom and saw professor singhania sitting on the chair. She raised her eyebrows at me and gestured me to sit. There were like six or seven people in the room. I sat on an empty chair. Suddenly a bag was thrown on the table next to me. Nishit sat beside me. He stretched his left arm on table and relaxed his head on that arm. He looked at me for a brief second and then closed his eyes.

After like 45 minutes, class ended. Everyone yawned and started chattering. I looked at nishit who was still sleeping, he frowns in sleep. Why ? I looked at his frown with a confused expression. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat straight. I cleared my throat and copied his action.

" Roy. " He called softly. I jerked my head towards him. " I have a task for you. "

" Hmm." I hummed signalling him to speak more.

" I want your help in setting my dorm." He said, scratching back of his neck.

" What ? Why me ? Just call any other girl or even boy to help you. They'll do it gladly. " I said. Why would o go to his room ?

" No, I don't want anyone in my room. You will help me and that's it lest you want to say bye to this university." He said, now in a tone which felt like an order.

" You can't do that. " I said nearly begging him to not do that.

" Try me then." He said moving closer. I slided back and he softly chuckled at my action.

" Don't worry I won't do anything to you in my room, troublemaker. Just come. " He assured me, half smile on his face.

" But girls are not allowed in boys dorm. What if someone see us together ? "

" Hmm, you are right. " He said, thinking. Suddenly he stood up threw his bag on his shoulder and started walking. In the middle he stopped and said.

" You have to sneak in then. 7 pm. From the window. "
