Waiting for their face-off

Vansh's POV

Right now, I'm driving back to my college from my home. My college is three hours away from my home. As a result, I live in my dorm room at my college. But on weekends, I live at my house bc I like to spend time with my family. I took a deep breath after I reached my campus. The 3-hour drives are tiring, but they're worth it bc I get to meet my family. Honestly, I would have never thought in high school that I would have to live alone during college. Even though I like the freedom, I sometimes don't want to live on the campus.

My chain of thoughts was broken by a notification on my phone. I sighed as I saw that I received a message from Riddhima. I opened her message and it read: "I have a cousin who's also in 9th grade, but she doesn't go to my school. So, can she still attend the conference?" After thinking for a minute, I texted her: "Umm yeah she can and the rest is online. And I mean this in the nicest way possible pls stop sending me dms."

After a few minutes, I received another message from her which shocked me to the core. She asked me to block her! I never knew that she herself would ask me to block her. Without replying, I blocked her. Idk why, but I'm having mixed emotions after blocking her. I'm kind of sad for some reason, but I'm also happy. Idk what's happening to me. At least now, my girlfriend wouldn't be mad at me anymore. This morning, I had an argument with my gf because of Riddhima.

Flashback Begins

Caroline - "Vansh, this is my last and final warning. STOP REPLYING TO THAT GIRL'S MESSAGES. I know that you don't want to be rude, but you have to ask her to stop texting you. I can clearly see that this girl has a crush on you!"

Vansh - "Calm down Caroline. First of all, she doesn't have a crush on me. She sent me the confession bc of a dare. And she even provided me with a screenshot to prove that she's telling the truth. And stop being so possessive and insecure. I've never even said hi to Riddhima, let alone being in a conversation with her. I only answer her questions, that's it."

Caroline - "If you don't ask her to stop, then I'm not going to talk to you again. And that's final!"

Saying that she ended the call.

Flashback ends

Honestly, I don't know what Riddhima wanted from me. There were 5 other names on the letter, but idk why she chose to ask me the questions. I barely know her and I don't even know how she looks. I just know that she goes to my high school.

I did a huge mistake by accepting her follow request in the first place. I rarely accept follow requests of strangers, but I don't know what happened to me that day. Maybe, I accepted her request since she had a lot of mutual followers with me. Honestly idk the real reason behind accepting her request.

After that, I unblocked her even after her confession. The reason why I unblocked her that day was bc I knew that she was very hurt after I blocked her. Honestly, I lied to my girlfriend this morning. I know that Riddhima has a crush on me. I can tell that from her messages. But, I don't know why she asked me to block her even though she likes me.

I shook my head as I realized that I was thinking about Riddhima. I decided not to think about her anymore and started making my way towards my dorm room.

How was this chapter? And what do you guys think about Vansh? What do you guys think he feels about her? Do you think he'll unblock her? Do you think they'll meet soon?

Chapter 8

Riddhima's POV

A Fews Hours Later

I can't believe that I asked him to block me. I had never thought about asking him to block me even in my wildest dreams. But, I didn't have a choice. If I didn't ask him to block me, then Ragini would've found out that I like him. After that, she would've told my parents. And I didn't want to get in trouble. So, I had to ask him to block me. If I think about it, getting blocked by him was the best option, since that is the only way I can move on from him. I think moving on wouldn't be that difficult bc I was probably infatuated or something. Now I'm sure that I wasn't in love with him bc who falls in love so easily. And plus I'm too young to fall in love.

Author's POV

Riddhima spent the whole night by making herself believe that she made the right decision. But, Riddhima knew deep down that she made a decision that she would regret later on. Months slowly passed by and Riddhima still didn't move on from Vansh. Although Riddhima thought at first that it would be easy to move on, but it turned out to be way harder than she thought it would be.

Riddhima has had several crushes over the years that she has attended school and it wasn't that difficult to move on from the crushes. It only took her a maximum of two weeks to move on from them. But, for Vansh it's completely different. She didn't contact him at all since the time he blocked her. And she still has never met him. But, she is still having trouble moving on.

Riddhima's POV

Why are you doing this to me god? You know that I didn't bother Vansh again. I didn't contact him at all over these eight months. Then, why can't I move on from him? I know I'm not in love with him. I read it online that it's nearly impossible to fall in love with someone you barley know. But, then why is it so difficult to forget him. This has never happened to me before. I've liked so many guys before. And it was very easy to move on from them. But, it's so hard to move on from Vansh even though he hates me. Let alone Vansh, even his family hates me.

Flashback Begins

I was watching my phone and decided to check Instagram Tracker (the app tracks the blocks and follows). It had been a while since I last checked the app. I opened the app and saw that someone new has blocked me. I decided to check who it was. And what I saw next shocked me...

Vansh's sister blocked me! I can't believe it. I never even contacted her, then why did she block me? Now how will I face her? She goes to the same school as me and what if she tells people about what I did. Then what would I do? Why did Vansh tell her about me? I asked him to not tell anyone about me. Now what would I do? What if my parents find out? They won't spare me.

Flashback Ends

Honestly, I'm very thankful that I don't have any pictures on my Instagram account. Vansh and his sister can never recognize me even if they ever meet me.

Vansh's POV

I'm sorry Riddhima. I know you don't want me to tell my family about you. But, I have to do this. I need to tell my family about you. I don't want to take the wrong decision which is why I need my parents' advice. I got out of my thoughts as I heard my mom's voice.

Uma (Vansh's Mom) - "Vansh, where are you lost? What did you want to tell us?"

Dev (Vansh's Dad) - "Yes, Vansh. We've been waiting here for the past ten minutes. But, you haven't said a single word. Why did you call us here? Did you want to tell us something?"

Vansh (nervous) - "Umm... Mom, Dad I want to tell you something... Umm"

Siya - "Bhai, this is the first time I've seen you so nervous. I hope everything is alright. Are you going to reveal something that you've been hiding?"

Uma (interrupting) - "OMG Vansh! Do you have a girlfriend? And you want to tell us about her?!"

Dev - "Uma, calm down. He's just nervous. That doesn't mean that he has a girlfriend."

Thank god, I've never told them that I have a girlfriend. If they find out, they're going to kill me. I'm never going to take the risk to tell them about Caroline.

Vansh - "Mom, don't worry. I don't have a girlfriend. I want to tell you about to something else."

How do I tell them about Riddhima? I don't know what to say. How do I even start it? Taking a deep breath, I decided to tell my family everything.

Vansh - "Actually, I wanted to tell you guys about something that has been bothering me lately. So a few months ago, a girl named Riddhima requested to follow me. She goes to Siya's high school and Riddhima is freshman there."

Siya (interrupting) - "OMG! Bhai, she's following me on Instagram since the past few months. And I'm also following her back."

Vansh - "I know Siya. And don't interrupt again."

I summarized everything that happened without any interruption. After I finished, there was silence for a few minutes. And then my mom spoke.

Uma - "Vansh, I think Riddhima doesn't have any bad intentions. I feel like Riddhima has a crush on you. But, I don't understand one thing. You never reply to dms of random people. Then, why did you reply to Riddhima's messages and that too several times? I hope you don't like her back. Keep this in mind, she's too young. She's only 14, a minor. While you are 18, an adult."

Vansh - "No mom, I don't like her back. And I replied to her messages because she just wanted to ask questions about the conference. She also promised to not text me anything that's not related to the conference."

Dev - "I'm glad that you blocked Riddhima. Siya, you should also block her. And both of you listen to me very carefully, don't unblock her. If she tries to contact either of you from an alternate account, then block her again. But, don't reply."

Vansh - "But dad, don't you think I was very rude to her?"

Dev - "No Vansh, you handled the situation very wisely. You tried your best to be polite when you asked her to stop texting you."

Vansh - "Thank you, Mom and Dad. This issue was bothering me a lot. But after talking to you both, I feel better."

Saying that I went towards my room, but I was feeling guilty. Riddhima didn't want me to tell my parents, but I still did. I shouldn't have done this. But, I had to. Honestly, I don't know why I care about her feelings, even though I don't know her. Let alone knowing her, I don't even know how she looks. But for some reason, I feel a connection with her.

What do you guys think about Vansh? Did he do the right thing by telling his family about Riddhima?

Please tell me your opinions. The next chapter will have a leap, so they both will be a few years older. Keeping that in mind, how would you like their first meet to be like?

Please update😒

Waiting!!
