" C'mon buddy, show us your moves. " the seniors broke into boisterous laughter, the fresher cowered back in surprise.

" Don't you hear us? Twerk. Right now. " Nia narrowed her eyes, a sly smile playing on her red painted lips.

" I'm sorry, but I won't be able to- " another guy stocked towards the fresher, holding him by his collar. 

" You dare to defy us freshie? " the poor boy was on the verge of crying now.

Then one of the guy, who's been seeing this from afar, now stood hovering over all of them with his towering height, " Don't make him have it hard guys. Be merciful to our junior. Let me talk to our little buddy. " then he put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him aside, fake concern marring his face.

" Listen dude, the people over there- " he pointed a thumb towards his friends who were sniggering behind their back, " -they're really, really crude. You know, if they get their hands on you, well, it's not need to be spoken, so you better do what you're asked to do okay? Entertain them for a moment and leave with your body parts intact. Though it's just a suggest from a friendly senior, that's all. "

The new boy looked up, eyes filled with thankfulness for the guy in front of him. But little did he know, that he's dealing with the devil himself. 

He stuttered, " Bu- but I won't be able to do that. Please, tell your friends to let me go- " he stopped mid sentence when a cold glared was directed towards him.

" So you really aren't gonna do it huh? No use talking shit to you then. " the sympathic expression was replaced by a stony one; cold and distant.

The first year student stood dumbfounded at the transformation, " Guys, I think this freshie out here, needs to be punished. Afterall he defied us! That calls for one, what say? " 

The others walked towards them and rounded the boy like predators. Nia watched the boy carefully and snatched away his ID card, " What should the punishment be? Ummm- lemme think. Should we throw this away, so that he could never enter the college? What say Ruh? " 

The boy tried to snatch it back but was held back by his collar by Ruhaan, " Now now, it's your final chance, do as we say or- " Nia rotated the card in her hand. 

Defeated, the boy lowered his bag and positioned himself to twerk when, " Naah, we don't want you to do it now. " he looked confused, " Your new task is to kiss that girl. " Ruhaan pointed at a raven haired girl. 

The boy look flustered. Dancing, he can try but kiss? He would surely be killed if he try to do it. He shook his head muttering some prayers under his breath; for some angel to come to his rescue. 

" Ruh, what are you- " Nia was cut in mid sentence. 

" We don't have all the time in the world freshie. Will ya' do it, yes or no? " his palm almost crushing the boy's ID card. 

" Yes I- I'll do it. Please give it back to me. " 

" Do your task, and your thing will be returned to you. " all present there trained their eyes to the boy, who took small steps towards the said girl. 

From a distance Ruhaan intently observed the scene. The boy told her something, his lips trembling.

Maybe he's stammering!

Anyone would be stammering in front of the north-eastern beauty though. In front of his chicken-eyes. His target. His favorite playtoy. His- 

Her sharp eyes softened, once the boy ended whatever mini speech he's giving. She smiled nodding and forwarded her cheek, in permission. With outmost politeness and face as red as beetroot, the boy pecked her cheek and thanked her for her understanding.

Or it seems to Ruhaan from the distance, he's been observing the conversation.

She just shook her head in indifference. But when her gaze met Ruhaan's, a smirk make it's way. She hold the boy closer and pecked his cheek in return, her eyes never leaving the enraged one's. She left soon after that.

The boy, still in daze walked towards Nia to procure his card. Having got his life back, he ran inside the college campus, maybe far away from the satan incarnations he'd just met. 

By the time, Ruhaan had lost all his interest in the bully game. He's mind was stuck in the scene he'd just witnessed.

Yes, he did asked for it himself but seeing the outcome is quite hard for him to digest. He clenched and unclenched his fist, glaring at the three figure moving about the corridor, laughing among themselves. A certain raven haired beauty stealing all his attention. 

Nia noticed the change, " Are you all right Ruh? " 

He smiled through gritted teeth, " Nice play chicken eyes. Fly, fly until the next time I break your fucking wings. "
