Part 1
Riddhima sat in her college on her last first day of school ever. She sat on a bench with a smile. It was refreshing feeling knowing you were almost done. Just one more year and she would be free.
She laughed as she saw Muskaan chasing Rahul. They had gotten engaged over summer. If Rahul even smiled at another girl, then the possessive side in Muskaan overtook her and she would chase him down to hit him. It always ended the same way, she would catch him, he would apologize, she would be about to hit him, but he would capture her lips in a sweet kiss then tell her he only loves her. It really was a sight to see. They had been dating since the end of high school, so everyone knew their routine. Unfortunately however, when Rahul began dating her, his best friend, who just happens to be Riddhima's neighbor and enemy, also joined their friend group.
Riddhima's thoughts were side-tracked as she felt a pair of arms circling her. She turned and smiled seeing her boyfriend of a year. "Abhi! What are you doing here? I thought you had to get to your first day of work! You remember na you graduated last year - no more school you lucky bas***d." Abhi laughed and kissed her nose. "Haan baba yaad hai. I was just on my way aur I decided kyun na tumse milkar jaun?" Riddhima smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "hmm acha kiya, waise aaj raat a bunch of us are going clubbing, tum bhi aao na?" Abhi frowned, "nahin, can't. First 48 hours we have nonstop duty! toh night shift!" Riddhima frowned. "Aww." Abhi smiled mischievously. "par you can make it better.." "Aur woh kaise?" He leaned in closer to her, "with a kiss jaana." She smiled as his lips met hers in a soft and sweet kiss. His tongue slowly parted her lips and met hers. She ran her hands through his hair as his hands pulled her waist closer.
*cough cough* Riddhimaa groaned as they heard someone behind her, tapping her. Abhi slightly laughed at her irritated state. She turned and frowned seeing her least favorite person, her neighbor and enemy. If she said A, he said B. He was always annoying her, and loved to see her angry and irritated. They could never agree on anything! Though their interests were similar, they were constantly bickering!
"What do you want Armaan?" Riddhima rolled her eyes seeing him smirking. Actually I wanted to thankyou for leaving early today. Pata hai, I was so irritated when our parents told me ki I was supposed to bring you to college with me everyday in my car since they are all out of town. I mean imagine YOU sitting in my baby! Aur this morning i thought, well i should probably at least take her b/c or else my parents will fry me. So I walked to your door and found this note! I think you meant it for yourself though BASKET." He handed her the note, then said hi to Abhi and walked away. Abhi looked at her strangely then took the note. As he read it he burst out laughing.
Armaan,
you didn't actually think i could bare the entire ride to school with you did you?
Anyways dont bother, cause i left already.
Oh one more thing, go f**k yourself.
Hate you always,
Riddhima
"Riddhima jaan, as entertaining as this is, is this all really necessary? I still don't understand why you both hate each other so much." Riddhima sighed. "I don't know Abhi, he just brings out the worst in me! Everytime I want something - he HAS to try and ruin it. We just can't stand each other. There isn't really any specific reason. i mean we've always been competitors for EVERYTHING! basketball captain, top of the class, class representatives, EVERYTHING."
Abhi shook his head as he laughed again. 'Anyways I gotta run jaan. Don't want to be late." Riddhima smiled. "Good Luck Abhi." He smiled and planted a quick kiss on her lips before leaving for work. Riddhima made her way to class and smiled as she saw her best friend Anjali coming towards her with her neighbor Ishita.
Ishita wasn't really friends with them as she was 2 years younger, but she carpooled with Anjali. Anjali ran over to Riddhima to meet her in a hug as Ishita went over to her own group of friends. "Ridzy!! OMG I have to tell you the bestest thing ever! Atul is moving here!!!" Riddhima smiled at Anjali's excitement. Atul was Anjali's long distance boyfriend. Of course she'd be estatic! "No ways! Acha come tell me everythinggg!"
Riddhima and Anjali spoke excitedly as they made their way to their first class for the day. Riddhima was walking towards her seat and she suddenly tripped over something. She fell on the floor with a bang and realized it was Armaans foot. "URGHHH ARMAANNN" Armaan made a sad face. "Oh tsk tsk tsk, poor Basket. Here let me up. You dont have to kneel in front of me." Armaan touched her arm, but Riddhima shoved it away and stood on her own. "Haath mat lagao Armaan!" Armaan came closer and put his hand on her shoulder. "Kyun? kuch kuch hota hai kya? I know I'm just too hot, but you really aren't my type. Aur waise bhi Abhi might not like this Basket!" Riddhima shoved his arms away again. "haath mat lagao Armaan! Aur don't call me basket!" Armaan came closer to her. "kyun? kya kardogi? huh?" Riddhima pointed her finger at him. "I'm warning you Armaan, don't irritate me." Armaan smirked and spoke again. "Why not BASKET?" Riddhima got irritated and began hitting him.
Their fight was broken by a booming voice. "If the daily fight session is over for this morning, can you all please take your seats?" Armaan and Riddhima gulped and laughed nervously as Dr. Chatterjee had caught them fighting once again. "Sorry Dr. Chatterjee. Oh and apnake aajke bishon sexy lagche!" (sorry dr. chatterjee. Oh and you look super sexy today." Riddhima smiled at Dr. Chatterjee as she spoke to him in Bangla – his native tongue.
"Hmm acha tai naki? Tahole graduationer pore, Abhi ke baad de tumi ami palabo…ki moune hoi?" (oh is that so? Then after graduation, you dump Abhi, and you and I will elope. What do you think). Riddhima laughed at their usual banter and proceeded to sit down in her seat, but not until sticking her tongue out at Armaan.
The day passed by in their usual manner. Armaan and Riddhima fought over almost everything.

That night, Riddhima, Armaan, Anjali, Rahul, and Muskaan went to the club to enjoy. Riddhima was wearing a short fitted black dress. Her back was revealing making her look super sexy.
As usual, Armaan and Riddhima began arguing almost immediately. "Fine BASKET prove yourself. You and me, drinking contest RIGHT NOW." Riddhima smirked. "Fine, Bring IT MALLIK!" Armaan and Riddhima sat down at the bar and had shot after shot. After nearly 18 shots each, Anjali literally dragged a very drunk Armaan and Riddhima home.
After ensuring that they were both walking towards their front doors, she drove away.
Riddhima tried putting her key into her door (literally into the door – not the keyhole..) "ARMAANNN MY KEY IS BROKEDDD" Armaan looked at her house then screamed back, "KYA?? LET ME TRY MINEEE"
