As I watch Vikram take off from the library as if it"s on fire, I mull over what happened?
His face became completely expressionless after I rejected his offer. Could it be that I hurt his feelings? Who would have thought Vikram Sethi has feelings?
“Ready to go? Where’s Vikram?” Saahil asks as he spots me near the door of the library.
“He’s gone,” I say, still bewildered by Vikram’s exit.
“Okay, let’s go.” He opens his backpack to slide his copy of ‘The Catcher in The Rye’.
“Saahil.” As we walk towards the school exit, I decide to ask him.
“Yes”
“Do you think I am too rude to Vikram?”
“To be honest, I think you are. What’s your problem with him anyway? Do you guys have some kind of history I should know about?”
“No, we don’t have any history.” At least not the kind he has in mind.
