How To Hide A Crime

20. not a ghostsexual

Kairav is an annoying piece of shit. He has been reminding her of the fact that she failed a test the whole day just to prove the point that he is more intelligent than her. While Tani agrees with him in this regard, she doesn't appreciate him annoying her like that. 

"Are these teeth or fucking blades? My hand hurts!" Taani whines while Kairav wails, gaining everyone's attention in the cafeteria with his drama. 

"My teeth! My teeth! Do you know how hard my parents had to work to give birth to a fine specimen like me and you have the audacity to punch me in the face?! They literally had to have-" Taani gags his mouth with her hand and glares at everyone who dares to look at them. 

"Have some shame. They are your parents. Eat now. I will buy you an ice-cream later. Please, just stop fucking eating my brain and stop your drama." Tani pleads, still gagging him with her hand. 

"One won't do. I need five." Kairav says as soon as Tani removes her hand. 

"I will buy you the whole shop." 

"Don't give me empty promises. Your miser ass would never do something like that." Tani ignores him and enjoys her food. 

Just when Kairav is about to come up with something else to annoy Tani, a girl makes her way towards their table, a not so inNOcent smile tugging at her lips. 

"Hey!" She says cheerfully, gaining a glare from Tani which the girl chooses to ignore. 

"He is gay." Tani says, smiling at the girl. 

She hates this girl with all her being and she doesn't want her anywhere near Kairav. 

"Don't falsely label me. I'm foodsexual for now." Kairav replies, throwing daggers at his friend. 

The girl's not too soft laugh gains Kairav's attention. He looks at her and says, "Hi!" 

"I had some movie tickets with me. Wanna come?" She eagerly asks, smiling brightly at him. 

"No ice-cream for you if you say yes." Tani mouths to him when he steals a glance of her. 

"Can we have popcorn, cold drinks, pizza, ice-cream and biryani?" The girl nods her head. 

"If you want." She says. 

"Great. Notify your wallet then. I also enjoy a buffet after the movies." Kairav smiles sweetly but listening to him, her smile falls. 

"I….. Actually, I just remembered I've an unfinished assignment due tomorrow. Maybe some other time." She makes an exit right after that. 

"You could have directly said no to her." Tani laughs. 

"What's the fun in that?" Kairav shrugs his shoulders. 

"Be careful around her though. She is the crush of that jerk in the Science department. That fucker is batshit crazy when it comes to her." 

"I'm so scared that I want to run away with this girl just so see what the fuck he does." 

Their chattering quiets down as they focus on eating. You will find Kairav quiet only when he is busy eating. Tani really appreciates the silence. 

Unknown 
Why aren't you in the office, Sharma? 

Kairav looks at the unknown number for a few seconds in confusion then he understands who this is. 

Kairav 
I can get you arrested for stalking, ghostie. 

He doesn't get to enjoy his food when he gets another text from the same number.
