Shi hi to kehti h Roop ye teachers ko humesha perfection chahiye aur khud galti ho jaye to kehte hain ' to kya hogya hum bhi to insaan hain, galti to insanno se hi hoti.' Aur jb humari bari aati h hum gadhe bn jate hain.

" Riya, you are shorter than sakshi. Get beside her. " I said, as it was my duty to arrange rows in the assembly.

Head girl hun na.

" Jigyasha, where is Roop? Is she absent? " Preeti mam asked, as she saw roop's place empty.

" No mam, actually she have a stomach ache. " I explained.

"Ok" Preeti miss said and continued to check student's uniforms.

Kisi din fas gyi na pakka izzat ki icecream bn jayegi.

Dekhiye dosto yhi h vo, khunkhar drindi Head girl Jigyasha of 11th class.

Jisne apni bestfriend ko maths homework ki smuggling ki thi, vo bhi prayer ke time pe. Chhi chhi chhi.

" Milta h sacha sukh keval bhagwan tumhare charno"

I jumped out of my thoughts as kl lprayer started. Joining my hands I stood straight infront of girl's rows, closing my eyes I repeated the prayer.

Aaj to economics ka test bhi h, o shit yaar mai to preparation kna hi bhul gyi. Ye test vest bhi abhi yaad aane hote hain kya.

𓂃˖˳·˖ ִֶָ ⋆🌷͙⋆ ִֶָ˖·˳˖𓂃 ִֶָ

" Aae chashmish, kuchh books vooks laya h kya?" Shlok whispered to Shrey who was standing infront of him.

" Ha Maine to 11th me end me hi papa se books mnga li thi, aur ek do chapters bhi cover-"

" Abey jitna puchha utna hi bta na, kitabi keede." I hissed, hitting the back of his head.

I yelped in a whisper. " Tu idhr bhi ni ruk skta kya, kisi teacher ne dekh liya to merko bhi daat pdvayega."

" Milta h sacha sukh keval bhagwan tumhare charno me"

I looked towards the stage when prayer started. Closing my eyes, I repeated the prayer silently.

Agr accounts ka teacher koi sir nikla to meri to band bjni pakki h, female teacher hoti to you hi pta lete yaar.

Nhi mera matlb vo nhi h, I mean female teachers are cute.. atleast for boys. Humari economics ki teacher to bohot pyari si thi.

Ab prayer pe dhyan de Shlok vrna bhagwan ji bura manke baddua qubul kr lenge.

After the prayer ended, principal came on to give lecture as every other principals. But the thing was that unlike my last school, the principal was not a lady.

I yawned, looking around at the students. I spotted a boy standing on third position next to our line.

"Oye chashmish, dekh Tera kumbh k mele me bichhda step brother." I whispered softly.

Bhai sahb agr ye bnda chasme lga lena to pkka same to same Shrey lgega.

"Kon be?" Shrey whispered back.

"Abe vo dekh teesre number vala."

He leaned sideways to see him. "Ye? Nice joke hn. Ye Mera jaisa bilkul nhi lgta. Isko dekh k to lgta h bndar ne adrak chba ke thuk diya ho." He laughed at his own joke.

"Han to tu apne aap ko hi to describe kr rha h." I laughed.

"Boys!" A teacher warned us, passing by our line.

"Marwayega tu." Shrey hissed as teacher walked forward.

"Yaar bore ho rha hun, mai kya krta hun behosh hone ki acting hi kr leta hun. Vaise bhi sb yhi krte hain."

Shrey glanced back to warn me "sochna bhi mat."

Kya yaar kitni kuch kuch krta h ye. Main sochun ye mera bestfriend bn kaise gya. Vibe ji ni match hoti yaar.

I saw principal finally leaving the stage. I sighed in relief. Finally yaar.

" Everybody stand straight for the national anthem."

And then she walked to the stage. My eyes stuck there, right there on her, walking confidently.

My heart was beating with rhythm of her each step.

Everything faded, I could only see an angel standing in the centre of the stage in white uniform.

Kya ho rha ye mujhe? Itni jor se kyu dhadak rha h mera dil? Can you just please blink your eyes Shlok?

"Jana gana mana..."

I couldn't hear anything except her voice. It was vibrating all over my body.

As she started walking away, my eyes followed her down to the stage and then towards the girl's rows. I moved my head up to see her, but she disappeared somewhere.

Last me kyu khada hua main gadha?

But bhaisahb she is in my school. SHE IS IN MY SCHOOL. I screamed mentally, jumping once.

"Hey!! What are you doing?"

"Sorry sir." I muttered, standing straight while fixing my shirt. But I smiled widely again as the teacher walked forward. "Yes!!"

As the students started walking inside, my eyes remained stuck towards girls rows moving inside.

Bs ek baar aur dikh jaye.

"Aye chal na." The guy from back pushed me forward.

My feets started walking, but my mind remained there only. Smiling idiotically, I digged my eyes there.

Come on, come on yaar! Please dikh ja.

I moved my eyes downward in disappointment as the last girl went in. I couldn't see her.

" Mam, this is the list of students that are in incomplete uniform today."

My head turned up as I heard that same sweet voice again. Smiling widely I looked over there again.

She was giving a list to a teacher, a humble smile on her lips. That made my heart flutter like it was for me.

I stared at her from back, going inside throwing her braid back like she did on the road.

"Aey tu pagal vagal h kya? Chal na." The guy pushed me again harder, causing my already number legs to fold making me fell on the ground still smiling idiotically.

"Oye dhaka kyu de rha h? Shlok are you ok Bhai?"

Nods with that idiotic grin.

"Lgi to nhi?"

Nods again.

" Kidhr lgi?"

Nods.

"Hn? Tu pagal hogya h, hal khada ho."

He pulled me up. I kept staring where she disappeared.

"Abe uth Jana ah" he pulled my hand harder, but stripped and fell on the ground himself.

"SHLOK!!"

Constant nodding.

꒦꒷♡꒷꒦

" Hogya homework?" I asked Roop, sitting next to her.

"Han done. Thankyou for the notebook miss.Perfect."

Roop gave the notebook back to me, smiling sweetly.

" Itni pyari smile k sath thankyou ki jrurat nhi reh jati." I said, while putting the notebook into my bag.

"Aaye Haye flirting shlurting hmmm.."

" Aapki hi mehrbani h ji." I replied, giggling.

She laughed back. We sat straight as Miss. Preeti entered the class. Meet our class incharge. Vaise to ye achhi h dil se, pr jaban se thodi teekhi hain.

Koi inki class me chu bhi kre, Inhe bilkul pasand nhi. Aur agr kroge to kabutar bna ke uda dengi tumhe.

"Jigyasha" she called out, putting her bag on the table.

" Yes mam?" I stood up.

" I forgot my attendance register in the staff room. Could you get it for me?"

Khana khana to nhi bhulti aap. I really wanted to say it, like she says to students when they tell her about forgetting notebook at home.

I know ki bache bahana bhi bnate hain, pr kuchh bache sach me bhi bhul jate h kbhi kbhi jaise ye aaj attendance register bhul gyi.

" Jigyasha?"

" Yes mam? Yes mam I will." I walked out of the class room, students were still going into their classes. Ofcourse abhi time tha classes start hone me, but humari mam ko hi over puntual bnna tha. Jaise Preeti mam nhi amitabh bacchan ho gyin. Hn!

"Excuse me pretty lady." Someone called from back.

I turned to see two boys grinning at me."yes?"

One of them cleared his throat " do you know where class 12th A is?"

I opened my mouth to answer but furrowed noticing them staring at me oddly.

" Han pata h." I said, and started walking again.

"Are miss?"

"Ab kya h?" I turned again.

" Bta to do?"

"Kyu Google map hun mai?" I snapped, putting my hands on my waist. Mai bta rhi hun inki nazar theek nhi h. Mamla kharab lgta h, koi to machanical issue h inme.

The other guy came infront of me, pushing that guy back.

"Ruk tu mujhe baat krne de."

"Han bhok tu bhi."

He glared at me in anger, clenching his jaw.

" Itna jor se bhi mat peeso daaton ko tut vut gye to vapis bhi ni aayenge. Pr agar dudh k hain to no problem, bache." I said.

"How can you talk to me like that? Tu janti nhi h kon hun mai. Rahul naam h mera." He pointed his index finger at me.

" Aur mai Razia Sultan." I said calmly, before snapping. "Dikhai ni deta mujhe jana h khin. Andhe ho ya kane?"

"Tu-"

"Bhai Bhai Jane do na ab is school me hi to rehna h, baad me dekh lenge isko to." The other guy placed his hand on his back.

" Han han dekh lena." I said, walking away again.

Pata ni Kahan Kahan se aajate hain, ek number ke kutte kamine gobhi k phool.

I entered the staff room as it was empty picking up the register I walked back to the class.

" Excuse me ji?" Someone called me from the back.

Kya h yaar sabko mai hi milti hun kya. I turned back.

" Yes?"

"Ji vo 12th class kahan hogi?" A guy with glasses, asked me softly.

Sari 12th class k ladkon ne Google map ki naukri mujhse hi krani h by god. My eyes moved to the boy standing behind his back.

Ye gadha? Iski aisi taisi, sari dress kharab kr di meri.

My hands instinctively went to clear my skirt again. He was looking at me with that same idiotic grin.

Iski behn ka pakoda, problem kya h ismi? Jb dekho daat fadta rehta h. Khair, ye bnda sincere lgta h bta hi deti hun.

" Han vo samne blue dustbin h na jis class ke aage-"

"Achha vo h ok ok, thankyou"

" Vo nhi h."

He laughed awkwardly " a-achha to? "

"Usse aage Jake vo dusre vala blue dustbin h na?" I signalled there.

"Oo han vahan. Vo h?"

" Vo bhi nhi h." I said clicking my tounge, with a straight face.

" Vo bhi nhi h ?" His face fell.

" Udhar se mudoge to dusra room hi 12th class h."

He smiled and thanked me. I again looked at the other guy, looking at me the same way.

I furrowed at him, glaring side eyes while walking away.

His body turned as I moved.

Kamal h mai ghur rhin hu gusse se aur ye pagal abhi bhi smile kr raha h. I throwed my braid back, ignoring him.

" May I come in mam?"

───♡───

" Aae Shlok, yaar chal na. Oye." Shrey shaked Shlok's shoulders, while he was still staring where she disappeared.

Idiotic nod.

" Oh god fir se nhi." Shrey hissed, rubbing his temples in frustration.

He pulled Shlok along the way, by his bag.

" Ok so you are telling me that you bumped into a girl and fell in love while falling on the ground? Wow great story! " Shrey taunted Shlok while sitting on the bench.

Shrey put his back but didn't sit. He put his hands on his waist. " I am not telling a story Shrey. I am serious."

Shrey looked at him before removing his glasses. "Come on Shlok, it's not love."

Shlok clicked his tounge looking away. "Look I don't know what it is but there is something. I mean I feel a strange feeling inside me when I see her. Everything around me seems to blur and-"

"And then you plaster that idiotic grin on your face, trust me bro you look creep." Shrey opened his zip...bag ki.

Shlok sat beside him " tujhe nhi beleive Krna to mat kr. Mai to bs tera baap hone k naate tujhe bta rha tha."

Shrey rolled his eyes, placing his notebooks on the bench. "Meri baat maan tu padhai vadhai kr thodi yaar, it's just attraction. See jb hum teenage me hote hain to humare body me hormonal re-"

" Abey bhai bs bs bs tu chup hi reh to mera uddhar hojayega, prabhu tu bs ye biology ki ganga mat baha ab." Shlok joined his hands mockingly." Hormones huh!"

"Isiliye teri science me km marks aaye the." Shrey muttered.

" Tu chup horha h ki bjaun ek kaan ke niche."

"Good morning sir!" We stood up to greet the teacher entering the class.

Vaise to i follow 'dont judge a book by it's cover' , pr is mahapurush k dekhke lgta h ki gandhi agar thoda jyada khana kha leta to ditto same to same iske jaisa hi dikhta by god.

Chasma, hath me kitab, upar se leke niche tk pura white h. Isne chaddi bhi pkka white pehni hogi.

" Ok students so as the new session has started we have many new students in our class. I hope you all will get together well. Now let's start your class." He announced picking up the chalk and walking towards the board.

" Hain? Ye attendance nhi leta kya?" I whispered leaning towards Shrey.

"Nhi" I looked up as the guy on the bench before us whispered, leaning back without turning his face.

"Kyun?" I asked.

"Kyunki ye humare class incharge nhi hain. Jbrdasti first period lete hain." He answered.

"Oh"

"Tum naye ho na dheere dheere sb jaan jaoge." He said.

" Hey you stand up! " Teacher throwed a chalk at that boy, he looked angry.

But yaar ye to merko bs-

"Sir actually he was just giving me-" I tried to say while standing up.

"Then you also get out!"

Huh? Kya aafat h yaar ye? Khair. We both walked out of the class.

"Tujhse koi dhusmani h kya inki?" I asked, while raising hands above. He looked at me before doing the same.

"Meri inss to nhi pr inki mujhse h." He answered, looking at the ground.

"Kyun?" I furrowed.

He shook his head lightly, and smiled at me. " Khair Jane de na. Ye teacher log to aise hi hote hain." He extended his hand to me " mai Yuvraj, you can call me Yuvi."

I laughed lightly, shaking his hand. "Shlok."

"Vaise we were talking about you in the prayer."

His eyebrows drew together curiously "mere bare me?"

"Hmm ki tumhari shakl mere bhondu bestfriend se milti h." I laughed looking away.

"Vo jo andr tumhare sath baitha tha usse?" He asked pointing his finger at the wall, at invisible Shrey.

I nodded.

"Na baba na, milte hi roast to mat kr."

Both of us looked at Shlok coming out of the class, lowering his head.

I laughed as I knew him. Usne pkka kuchh jan bujh k kiya hogabahr aane k liye.

"Speak of the devil." Yuvi commented mischevuously.

He stood beside me rai

sing his arms. "Don't laugh."

"Ae bhai tum gay vay to nhi hona?" Yuvraj questioned getting a glare from Shrey.

We both broke down in laugh holding our stomachs.
