Dare you:

The Next Day:

It was only 10:15 am in the clock. Her phone was ringing constantly which affected her sleep and she woke up while grunting unhappily. Opening her eyes she looked at the clock in her bedroom. She swore that the person who was calling her right now was going to die. She was gonna kill that person personally. But as she took her phone she noticed it was Advik and she knew that he would not call her this early in the morning without any reason.

She abruptly sat on her king-size bed and received the call. "Yeah good morning."

Advik replied, "Where are you? Listen, don't come to school today!"

" I am at home. Why? What happened? ", said Adhira.

With a low voice in which worriedness and desperation were visible Advik replied, "Today... Have you checked your college forum? Wait, no need. If you know then you will not be at home right now. Whatever! There is news in the college about you and do you know what they are talking about? It is none other than the news about you being an orphan. And believe me, I am not the one who is behind this. You are my only friend. How can I do this to you? And moreover, if I did it and my parents came to know about it they would surely kill me."

Adhira clenched her fist that was holding onto her blanket. And replied, "Okay. Got it. And yeah don't forget that you are my friend and I believe you."

After a few seconds of silence. Advik continued, "And there is also the news that you are trying to make Aditya your sugar daddy by licking his thick thigh. They have also said that you are a gold digger and he will never like you. They are calling you ugly duckling. They are being quite aggressive in the comments. And his fans are cursing you there. Though some of the students are supporting you but if you see the comment section you will see most of them are hate comments."

"What?! Like seriously...?!", Adhira jerked up from the bed wondering who was so daring to do all these things..

"Adhira look here you are my only friend and you also believe that I will not try to do something bad with you. So please stay at home for today and don't open the forum and please... please... Please don't lose your temper.", Advik pleaded. Because after being with her and her brothers all these days, he got sure of one thing, very clearly. That was… Never mess with Adhira. She knew very well how to do and what to do with you so that you can get a worse outcome.

"Advik you know what, you are my best friend. Bye... bye I will talk to you later.", replied Adhira in a cool manner before hanging up the phone without waiting for the reply from another side.

After hugging the phone call Adhira stretched her body to get rid of sleepiness and marched towards the bathroom. Meanwhile, Advik was in a daze after hearing Adhira's cool and calm voice.

The College Campus:

Adhira just arrived at the college at 2:00 pm in the second half and saw that Advik was walking back and forth while holding his phone. Advik finally noticed that Adhira was there. He quickly ran and stood beside her.

"Adhira, I told you not to come today. Why are you here?", asked Advik anxiously.

"Why? Do you think those bitches can do anything wrong to me? Hump! Don't worry because I am definitely not a white lotus!!", smirked Adhira before starting to walk inside the classroom.

Without wasting both time and words he quickly followed her. Because he was kinda relieved as Adhira was still fine after all these.

On seeing Adhira, the entire class started gossiping about the scandal. Adhira did not give any expression and was particularly indifferent.This was not something everyone expected. She sat on the last bench, so Advik too sat beside Adhira. She always preferred the last bench to sit on. As soon as she and Advik sat down on their seats the other students started gossiping.

"Isn't she the girl from the scandal?"

"Yeah, I think so. But see her face… Its so ugly."

"Both her face and heart are black. She is an ugly duckling indeed."

"I think she is a prostitute and she even dared to seduce our prince charming with that ugly face of hers?! She is just an ugly bitch!!"

"Yeah, and I have heard she is an orphan. Who knows maybe it is the reason that her parents have abandoned her."

While this type of conversation going on Adhira did not even give a damn to those people, even Advik was petrified to see Adhira's cool and calm state of mind. But when she heard the last person's speech she felt angry. Anger rose inside her. She was trying to control herself but could she?

Yes, she could. After all, who she is, she is 'The Adhira Malhotra'.

When Adhira was trying to control the urge to strangle that person to the death who said about her parents abandoning her. A group of two girls came in front of her desk, and the leader asked" So… You are Adhira? Huh?".

Adhira after a long silence answered, "Yes. How may I help you?"

The girl beside her asked Adhira, "Do you know who she is?"

Adhira replied curtly, "No."

The leader and the girl beside her laughed, getting embarrassed and then aggressively said, "Do you believe that I can slap you?!"

Adhira smirked and said, "Dare you!!"
