Description

"Arnav!" Khushi called out, dashing after him across the college corridor.

He kept walking, earphones in, pretending not to hear. But she knew he had.

Breathless but determined, Khushi caught up to him and spoke, matching his pace.

"You're brilliant. Will you join our team for the next coding project?"
Arnav didn't even glance her way. His expression remained cold, detached-as if her words were nothing more than background noise.

But Khushi being Khushi-persistent, cheerful, a little stubborn-continued trailing him, trying to win him over.
She had genuinely admired his skills in the last class. The logic, the speed, the precision-he was different. Sharp. Focused.

Suddenly, Arnav halted.

Khushi, caught off guard, bumped into his back. She stumbled a step back. He turned slowly, eyes narrowing at her. She gave a sheepish grin, bending slightly forward with her hands clasped.
"So... will you join our team?" she asked again, this time softer, but still with hope.

Arnav tilted his head slightly, and then-his voice ice cold-replied:
"I don't work with amateurs. Or with a bunch of headless chickens."
Khushi's smile dropped. Her fists clenched. Anger flared in her eyes, ready to fire back-

But before she could speak, he gave a cocky smirk and walked away.
Fuming, Khushi turned in the opposite direction and stormed off.

Unseen by her, Arnav paused at the end of the corridor. He glanced back over his shoulder, his expression shifting. For a brief moment, the arrogance faded, replaced by something softer. Amused. Curious. Almost... admiring.
And then, he walked away.
