"And stop freaking manhandling me everytime. You've no right to touch me." I pushed him with all my force and he stumbled back a few steps. 

He stood there looking down at his shoes with an evil smirk. Knowing his reactions so very well over the years, I should've been ready for what was coming next. 

"A bully, you say?" Rishabh pinned me down with his raspy voice, dangerously lowered down an octave. 

I was truly a wimp to shudder at that but I did do it internally, not showing it outright. There was just something about the gaze that had always intimidated me. But I would bury myself before exposing a tad of that effect in front of him. 

"If I am a bully, then what does that make you, Sanvi?" I gulped in fear and immediately shut my eyes as he pulled my face extremely close to his, such that the tips of noses brushed against each other. 

"An extremely peculiar masochist who liked kissing her bully?" My eyes shot open.

*************

When all that mattered to Sanvi Dixit,-the competitive nerd of St. Louis- is to pass high school with glorious results without getting noticed amidst the school population like all the previous twelve years that she has successfully managed to keep herself cocooned,- Rishabh Singh Rathore, the popular all-rounder brat just won't let her have her way. 

What will happen when they have to lose their individual first kisses to each other by accident when they can't even stand each other's presence?
 
Sparks will fly; hearts will break; jealousy will sprout; pasts will unravel. And you never know when LOVE knocks the door!
