44 Meeting friends

"Arjun, look at this." Di suddenly said as she passed her phone to me. I took her phone confusedly and looked at it.

She was in a group chat room with her friends. When I saw what they were talking about, I couldn't help but chuckle and feel proud.

"You are popular now because of Sofia. She uploaded your picture to the group." Di said while grinning.

I read the text and saw what they were talking about. But Di snatched her phone back and said "It's not good manners to look into someone else's chat."

"You are not just someone. You are my girlfriend." I replied

She smiled and kissed me on the lips and continued eating while replying to the text of her friends.

"They are asking me for your number." She looked at me teasingly.

I just smiled and continued to eat. I didn't reply as I didn't want to say something that she wouldn't like. Girls are scary.

After lunch, I went outside. First I wanted to meet some 'old' friends and second I had something important to do.

:::::::::::::::::

"Are you really Arjun?"

"Who else could I be? Don't tell me you can't even recognise your friend?"

"Fuck you. What happened to you overnight? You Pig, tell me, what kind of products are you using?"

"None, dude. I am naturally handsome."

"Fuck off. Tell me."

"Seriously, I didn't use any product. And stop squeezing my arm."

Rakesh is one of the few good friends I have. He was from a middle-class family and a very good person. He was also the funniest in my group.

"Fuck, is that a wig you are wearing. And that lenses look too real." He said and tried to touch my hair.

I move back and said "fuck off, why would I wear a wig. It's natural."

His eyes widened. Suddenly it turned to surprise and then sadness as he started to cry crocodile tears as he said "Are you dying? Did you get sick? Is this some incurable disease?"

Vein pops out of my forehead. I turned him and kicked him in his ass as I shouted "I am completely fine."

He rubbed his butt and said, "Then stop bullshiting."

I sighed and shook my head. I knew this was going to happen. Anyone would be shocked if they saw someone they knew change so much physically overnight.

To them my hair grew longer, my eyes changed colour and I became handsome.

I stopped him and we went together to the place where my other friends were. In the meantime, I cure him secretly. No, he wasn't sick, but the human body catches a lot of diseases in its lifetime.

"Wah! I feel relaxed today." He suddenly exclaimed.

"Maybe because you just stand by my side. Being near the great me is good for mortals." I acted like a sage.

"Fuck off. It's because I started working out." He replied with a sneer.

Soon I reached the gang. It's a group of 4 people, One girl and three boys, me included. Rakesh, Rahul, me and lastly the girl, Dipti.

Rakesh was the funny guy and Rahul was the Devdas of the group. He hooked up with girls easily but they left him that easily too.

Dipti is currently single. Tomboyish and also the most badass in the group. She fights and swears a lot. But good at heart.

And lastly me, their god, I, of course, was the best, even if they didn't agree I knew I was the best.

"What the fuck? Did you have plastic surgery? Why are you wearing lenses like girls? And why this wag, did you get bold?" Dipti threw a lot of questions at me.

"Yo, guys! Sorry, I couldn't give time before." I said hi to the others, ignoring Dipti's question.

But those two were of course as curious as Dipti. He also looked at me questioningly.

I shook my head in defeat. I also didn't know how to explain them. So I sighed and said "Let's go, eat something. My treat."

All of their curiosity and questions vanished in thin air. They nodded together with a wide smile. Dipti tried to wrap her arm around my neck but it looked funny as I was taller than her. Rakesh helped her by pulling me down by my neck.

Rahul said "Good, I just broke up with my girlfriend. I needed some fresh air."

We rolled our eyes together and ignored him. Otherwise, he will again start his sad love story which was always annoying.

"Where do you want to go?"

"KFC"

"Pizza"

"Bar"

"Are you old enough to go there?" We asked speechlessly.
