PART 7
Recap: Manvi's outburst, Virat's point of view- Virat too has family problems.
Back to Manvi's point of view
The things I do when I feel vulnerable is what I regret the most later. I should have never lost it back there especially not in front of Casanova. Ughh Casanova is going to show sympathy towards me now. Ughh days like today is what scares me the most; confrontation with mom and now the most annoying guy on the planet will show me sympathy.
"What?" I asked him rudely to keep him from staring at me.
He looked away only to look back at me, "You have quite a temper Cribber."
What the f**k. Here I thought Casanova would act all nice to me and tell me how sorry he feels instead he is taunting me! Such a jerk.
Virat's Point of view
I don't know how to deal with this girl. Usually girls are easy to read, atleast for me *winks*. But this Manvi, oh God don't get me started. She is the exact opposite of a normal girl, everything about her screams abnormal. After listening to her outburst back there I can empathize with her situation. To be honest I feel bad for her. I know what it feels like to be ignored by family, who knows that better than I do. But little miss abnormal here will shoot me if I show any sympathy or try and tell her everything will be alright.
The best thing to do right now will be to pretend like nothing happened and move on. I mean if we were friends I would try and comfort her but we are not, thank god; I am not good with the emotional stuff.
Manvi's POV
"If you are done with your parade of snide comments can we start on working on the project?" How rude is this guy? I had an outburst few minutes ago and instead of comforting me he is throwing snide comments at me. Wait a minute, isn't that what I wanted though? *utterly confused* God I'm losing my mind.
So we began working on the project and as usual we couldn't agree on one single thing so we spent most of the time fighting.
"No I like this color for our cover page." I pointed towards a light pink icon.
"No freaking way are we using pink!" He screamed.
I blocked my ears with my palm and yelled at him, "Casanova stop screaming. Maybe you are deaf but I AM NOT."
He rolled his eyes at me and kept glaring at me. Seriously he needs to stop doing that otherwise one of these days I am going to poke his eye.
"You are mad Cribber. You are psychotic. What is this paragraph you wrote on how the love stories written by Shakespeare are all irrational and impractical?"
Okay so is Casanova stupid? "Dude I have explained my reasoning."
Glaring at me again he started reading the paragraph that I'd written a few minutes ago. "Let us look at some of Shakespeare's plays. Romeo and Juliet, considered to be an epic love story where both the lovers die for each other couldn't be any more humorous. Firstly, Romeo was in love with another girl but then he falls for Juliet the minutes he sees her. Let us assume it to be true love, though my experience tells me love at first sight is impossible, that Romeo and Juliet did love each other truly and that they were soul mates. But, if they were soul mates and madly in love how could Romeo make such a grave mistake and assume that Juliet was dead? She was in his arms and he could not figure out that she was alive? Shouldn't soul mates be able to read each other? This doesn't just make their so called great love story sound exaggerated but after reading the novel I have serious doubts about Romeo's IQ level. He killed himself without checking Juliet's pulse, I'm sure they knew about pulse and heartbeat back in the 19th century. People call this a tragic love story but I call it a humorous end to an irrational couple's life."
Wow I'm pretty impressed at what I wrote, I have good reasoning skills. Before I could be proud of myself longer Casanova interrupted my thoughts with another of his unwanted remarks, "What have you written? A math paper? Because it certainly does not look like a philosophical insight into Shakespeare's works. Let us assume it to be true, IQ level, irrational couple, what is this rubbish? Now I am convinced that your head is empty or full of bull shit."
"What the hell is your problem? If you think what I wrote is so bad then lets look at what you have." I grabbed his printout to see if he'd written anything. Silently praying for his paper to be horrible I began reading it.
"The common concept used by Shakespeare was love. To be honest I give the clever use of the concept of love credit for the popularity of his work. In other words, Shakespeare was the first individual who commercialized love and his works became immensely popular because of it."
I laughed out loud and I couldn't even finish reading it. "And what have you written? An economics paper? Because it certainly does not look like a philosophical insight into Shakespeare's work." I mimicked him.
He tried to look at me angrily but after sometime he gave up and started laughing too. Soon we were reading each other's papers and laughing our ass off.
"Manvi what is this? Shakespeare should have used his time to write about world events or invent some mathematical equation rather than waste his time writing about a drunk ghost who happens to be King Hamlet." He laughed uncontrollably at what I'd written so I fished for his paper and read it. "The amount of money Shakespeare spent on his theater if he had saved some of it for insurance, after the huge fire he wouldn't be bankrupt."
Oh my freaking lord, Virat Vadhera is crazy. I swear I have not laughed like this in so long. "Virat you seriously are HILARIOUS." I said patting his back.
Suddenly he looked at me and said, "This is the first time you have called me with my actual name. I swear my name has never sounded better."
Okay he is annoying me again. I rolled my eyes at him, "Ughh please Casanova this is THE worst pick up line in the history of pick up lines." To his surprise I twisted his hand, "Next time don't try flirting with me."
"Oww cribber, sherni, annoying freak leave my hand." After I didn't let him go, he easily freed himself from my grasp and smirked at me. "Shortie you are like half my size, you think you can take me down? Anyway I wasn't flirting. I flirt with girls and you are most definitely not a girl. After reading your 'insight' on Shakespeare I'm sure of that."
Whatever I don't care. "I don't want flirts like you to think I'm a girl either. Whatever keeps you away from me."
He folded his hands and begged, "Manvi please I am not interested in you and I was not flirting. I thought we were friends now?"
To be honest Casanova does not seem like a bad guy. I mean I guess I can be friends with him.
I extended my right hand, "Friends?"
He looked at me completely shocked. He took few steps back and pretended to be scared, "Is this when if I shake your hand you will attack me again and accuse me of flirting?"
"Virat I give you two seconds. One." Before I could finish counting he hurriedly shook my hand, "I don't want to lose the opportunity of calling truce with the lioness."
