The Sood Mansion
The Sood family sat silently on the table; everyone occupied in their own trail of thoughts. Dadasaheb, the head of the family glanced in Siddhart's direction who was busy eating his omelette with perfect table manners.
'Vandana definitely has taught this boy etiquettes.' Dadasaheb gazed in Vandana's direction. He turned back to glance at Siddhart pushing his plate. 'He eats so gracefully and is so punctual. 'I'll make sure I hand the whole property over to him before laying in my death bed.' thought Dadasaheb pushing his own plate away.
"Viren!" yelled Siddhart gaping at his watch. It was already past seven and Viren still hadn't come down from his room. 'Hopeless.' sighed Siddhart as his cousin brother casually came downstairs. Likewise he was busy typing on his cellphone. 'Wonder why his highness took so long.'
Viren looked up from his cellphone and flashed his toothy grin. Dadasaheb sighed treading heavily towards his room while shaking his head. Chanchal and Jawahar stood up and mysteriously walked out leaving the two brothers alone.
"Damn, I am so hungry!"
Siddhart sighed. "It's about time you get down here. I also have to pick up Putul, you know," he scolded running a hand through his silky hair. He put the messenger bag over his shoulder and tapped his foot impatiently.
"No bloody way! The nerd can walk herself and besides," Viren paused, leaning over to take an apple and biting it. "She's the first one in the school."
"Yes, I know but it's better to ask."
"Why? She can't even speak without stuttering! So how will you know?" pointed out Viren standing up. "Anyway, if you want to give her a lift while we're on the run then go right ahead. Don't come complaining when Ms what-so-ever Oldie cuts your grades off because of your dearest Putul!"

Shimla Girls and Boys College
Viren's Point of View
I absolutely hate waking up for college. Even if I sleep at 8:30pm, I won't be able to get up 6am sharp. It's just in my genes and yet some people like Siddhart can't understand that. I have mixed emotions for Siddhart and I never really understood if I liked him or not.
Siddhart had a big problem. He was god damn punctual and the most favourite of his majestic majesty. My grandfather simply can't stand me and I don't think I can either, especially not to someone who's hated me since I was a mother****** baby!
Siddhart likes to claim everything I personally like or want. For example, Siddhart took my position in everyone's hearts; the position I used to yearn for. Then Siddhart was given allowances and he had no fixed curfew while my curfew was 9pm sharp. But I often stayed way past my curfew at my girlfriends' houses. Mind you, I have dozens of girlfriends and that's what makes my life so interesting.
I looked up at the girl with the shortest mini skirt and a very revealing white top. This was the college's queen bee and my current girlfriend. I had a fixed policy of 1 week with every girl but this one had cling to me since November. 4 god damn months. Today, I was definitely breaking up with her even if she gave me her puppy dog eyes and pout!
"VIREN!" cried the bunch of girls racing towards our car. Siddhart had already raced off to his lesson while the ones on school grounds were either on their free period or were bunking. Like me. Darn, every single girl carried a red rose and heart shaped card. Like W*F? What day was it today anyway?
"Ooooh, Viren let me be your Valentine...p..please!" cooed them all while I moaned. Even History was better than all this attention but I was just so originally kind that I couldn't leave without saying a no.
"Sorry babes, I already got a Valentine. Maybe next year..."
"Yeah! And that Valentine's me, so shoo all of you!" cried the Queen Bee while everyone parted to let her walk towards me. She had a sexy grin on her face and heaps of make up. Urgh! I was starting to get bored of this crap. She rested her hand on my chest and leaned on me.
"No way, babe. You were my Valentine but I got someone else now..." I announced stepping away from her while they all gasped. I casually walked back to the building with their mouths open. Let them guess who that Miss-No-Valentine is.
