Invitation To Birthday Party

"I will meet you after practice", Shravan tells me and I nod at him. I just love talking to him. I came here to study and he helped me but this one hour just passed in pure bliss. I sigh and smile.

I exit the library and walk towards my class. "Suman?", I hear and turn around to see Devika. Devika is a popular girl and she is also the rumoured girlfriend of Shravan. Shravan really doesn't give a damn to these rumours. He didn't even know Devika was being called his Gf.

All he focuses on is his sport, study and friends. And when I had casually asked him about it, he had cleared it to me that he has no interest in all this and Devika is not even the person he talks to. "Hi Suman", Devika says, coming towards me.

I smile at her. "Hi Devika", I say softly. "I needed to talk to you", Devika says. The bell has rung and I need to rush to my class but I can't just tell her to talk to me later. "Yeah...what is it about?", I ask her. Devika smiles at me. "I wanted to invite you", she says.

"What for?", I ask her. There's no team project coming up as far as I remember. "Yes. It's my birthday party", she beams in happiness. I shake my head. I don't really get invitations as I don't have many friends because I am typically a teacher's pet. It annoys me. Why is she inviting me all of a sudden?

"Birthday party...?", I repeat slowly and she nods. "I will be glad if you come", she smiles. Something looks off about it but I shake these thoughts off. "Thank you so much for inviting me, Devika", I say to her sweetly. "I will ask my parents and tell you about my availability", I say to her.

"What's the date and venue?", I ask her. "I am just finalising a venue. Give me your number and I will message it to you. Bring Naina along. I couldn't find her", Devika says to me. "Sure", I say to her and write my number on the back page along with my name. I tear it and give it to Devika.

"Again thanks for the invitation", I say to her and bid her bye. I go towards my class. "Suman. How are you late?", Miss asks me. "I got caught up with some stuff", I say apologetically. "I am sorry. This won't be repeated again", I say assuring her and she nods at me with a smile.

I go towards my seat. "I feel Shravan is replacing me", Naina says fake pouting. I pull her cheeks. "No one can replace you", I say to her sweetly and she hugs me not even letting me sit as I roll my eyes at her drama and smile. "What happened?", Miss asks and I see all the attention on us. "Nothing. Sorry ma'am", I say and sit down.

The class continues. "Devika has invited us to her birthday party", I whisper sneakily. "What?", Naina says loudly in shock and I curse under my breath. Ma'am again looks at us huffing and we both look down feeling heat on our cheeks. "Can't you speak slowly?", I scolded her and she pouted at me.

"You give me news which is impossible and expect me to be calm like we daily get invitations from people like Devika?", Naina complains. "I was shocked too but she has given me an invitation. She will message me the date and venue", I informed her.

"Ok. I will call you in the evening", Naina says. "Don't call between 4 to 5", I whisper back. "Why? Shravan calls you. That's why?", Naina asks in a teasing tone. I glare at her. "Focus on the class", I grit my teeth. Naina chuckles and doesn't say anything more for which I am glad. The class ends and we sigh in relief. Physics is boring.

As soon as the teacher goes, Naina turns towards me. "Is something going on between you and Shravan?", Naina asks. "Not you too. We are just friends and a boy and girl can be just friends", I say. "Maybe. But in very rare cases", Naina smirks. I stood up annoyed and took the registers kept on the table to give them to the staff room. I glare at Naina and go forward only to dash in a wall. Wall?

I look in front to see Shravan with whom I just dashed. "See and walk Shravan", I say annoyed. He raises his eyebrows and grins at me. "It was you killing your best friend by your eyes and walking in the opposite direction, Madam", he teases and I blush in embarrassment. "Whatever", I mutter and he laughs.

"Devika invited us to her birthday party", Naina says, coming behind me. "She did", Shravan asks. His laughter comes to an end as he looks at me. I shrug and exit the staff room. He follows me. "Why? She is a very cunning girl", Shravan says concerned. "You shouldn't say bad things about people. That's rude Shravan", I scolded him. "I am stating the facts. I dislike her. She spread rumours about me and her dating. I hate people who spread rumours", Shravan says, making faces.

"Oh", I say. He's not at fault. Even I would hate it if someone spread lies about me. "But, I think she invited us with so much of hope and not turning in would be rude. What's wrong in attending a birthday party?", I ask, pausing on my steps. "Nothing. But, I just don't want anyone troubling you", Shravan says and I smile.

"No one can trouble me. Look at me and tell me. Can anyone trouble me?", I ask. Shravan looks at me and smiles a second later. "No", he says. "Now let me keep this registers. "But the problem is...you see good in everyone", Shravan

whispers. "Everyone are...evil".
