Tevin's anger was evident as he exclaimed, "You've got some nerve asking me that, after ruining my life!" He forcefully pulled his hands away from mine.
"I'm sorry, but I don't comprehend," I replied, genuinely confused.
"Seriously?" Tevin stood up, frustration etched on his face.
"You truly have no clue. So, explain to me, how on earth did you manage to pass the exam?"
"What are you talking about, Tevin?"
Tevin was furious as he asked, "Can you explain how you managed to pass the practical when you messed up all the exams? I put in so much effort and got nothing".
I know he was sad, I struggled to find the right words to calm him down. "Tevin, maybe we should consider requesting a revaluation."
"Seriously? Rehaan, the teacher's favorite. I completely messed up my lab practical, and you're suggesting revaluation?" He angrily grabbed my collar. "Without my help, you wouldn't have even passed the written exam, you idiot." He forcefully pushed me backwards.
I could tell he was furious, but his words were getting out of hand. "I understand that you're upset, Tevin, but..."
"Upset?" he interrupted, cutting off my words. "For a cheater like you."
"What did I do wrong..."
"You're aware that the professor only assisted the students who were on her favorite line. And obviously, I wasn't on that list. She knew I needed help but didn't bother to ask me. Yet, she willingly helped you without any request. You truly are the teacher's pet".
"Tevin, I know you're angry, but it wasn't my fault. I thought you would have understood".

"Wooh Rehaan knows everything. But you wouldn't have passed third year without me. You scumbag".
"Tevin, why are you getting angry with me? Is it my fault that the teacher helped me. Is it my fault that the teacher didn't help you".
"You didn't even look at me".
"Yes, I did, before I left the class. You seem to be worried, but last time I couldn't do anything".
"Rehaan, you didn't even bother to help me or ask the teacher to help me, you just left after your result was finalised. You know why... because you were only thinking about yourself."
"Tevin, don't say things like that". I took a deep breath. "Tevin, let's talk when you've calmed down. I'm going to buy some bandages.
I'm going. Tevin was furious.
"'Have you ever satisfied yourself like this so the teacher can help you pass the exam?
I turn round and walk towards him. "What did you say now?".
"Why?" "I'm shocked. I mean, have you ever slept with the teacher..."
I slap him across the face before ending the dialogue.
"You scumbag, Tevin. How can you say something like that when you know everything about me?"
"You know what people say? They say that gay people always want to have sex. And you didn't even tell me who you love. Maybe you were doing something wrong behind my back." He comes closer to me. "Listen, I will tell the whole college about your dirty character," he says.
"Tevin, did you always think of me like that?"
"So what?"
Tears start streaming down my face. I never even imagined that he would think of me that way.
"Do you realize that today is the day you show me your true colors?" I tell him.
"And you too," he says. "I don't want to see you in my life anymore, Rehaan."
He says and walks away.
"You despise me to such an extent, don't you? You were so eager to find out who I have feelings for, weren't you? Well, listen up, the one I love is none other than you, Tevin."
"What?..."
