Not Normal

18. Boyfriend?

I woke up feeling a bit better than yesterday. I was definitely ill. I still have some cough though. It will take some time to go away.

I decided to go comfy today As I was still a bit tired and weak from yesterday. So I put on some trousers, a top and jacket.

I made my way to the school and saw that Rishi was waiting for me at the school gate.

"Hey how you feelin'?" He asked.
"Perfe- *cough* a bit better."
He gave me a questioning look and noticed the change in my dressing style.

"Wow it suits you. And when you keep your hair loose it just adds with the looks." He smirked.
"Stop with the teasing Sharma." I said.
"As you say Allen." He said back.

We headed towards the classrooms. With Rishi making sarcastic comments here and there.
I did make me feel better.

As soon as we entered I saw Minnie discussing something with Em.
I practically ran towards her and engulfed her into a bear hug.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so so so sorry." I mumbled.
Minnie laughed and I let go of her.
"Minnie I'm *cough*-" I began but she cut me off.
"Hang on there. What are you sorry for?"
"For *cough* behaving like a complete wreck?" But it came out more like a question.

Before I knew I was tackled into a group hug.
"Does this answer your questions?" Em said.
"Each one." I replied smiling.

Time Skip

Rishi offered to walk me to the office, or 'haunted warehouse' you may say. I politely declined but you know him, so stubborn. He just shut me off with a 'I wasn't asking'. Punk.

And I had to gave up.

So here we were, walking together and chattering non stop.

"You know what? They shouldn't have killed Sirius. He was such a good character. And for God's sake he was Harry's Godfather!!" He said
"Actually I agree with you." I agreed.

As you can say, we are talking about harry potter. Yes! Harry Potter.
Out of all the things in the world, this is what we talk about. You know we have this unspoken rule, we will talk about anything and everything in the world. And when I say anything I mean it.
This one time we were talking about that pendrives should have a small key chain with them so they don't get lost too much.
Crazy na??
Yes I know.

"Here we go!"
He said pointing towards a warehouse.

Warehouse?

Oh yeah! My office.
Note the sarcasm.
Not good Aarya.
Not good.

"So I guess.. This is when we say goodbye." He said.
We were having such a good time.

Did my cough already go??
Thank god!!
Okay let's get back to the topic.

"Byeeeeeeeeeee." He said dragging the 'e' which made me laugh.

"No bye." I said smirking and literally dragged him to the door by his sleeve not even giving him a chance to protest. And dialing the code.

"Aarya??!! Hey what are-"
"Shush." I said putting my finger to his lips.

His blue eyes were staring right into my green ones.
Neither of us even moving.

The sound of people after door opening brings us back from our trance.
I don't know why but I wanted that moment to last a bit more time.

"Come.." I said and dragged him inside by pulling his grey hoodie with me.

I decided him to show the training room first. I know Rishi too loves gymnasts. Now that's another thing in common between us.

"Whoa!!" Rishi Reacted as soon as we entered.
"Liked it?"
"Loved it!" He replied. His eyes still wandering to the whole area.

I smiled at him.
"What?" He said now looking at me.
"Nothing. You remind me of the first time I came here. My reaction was also something like that."
I said and giggled.

"Seriously tho, this place is awesome." He said still admiring the place.
"Ya I know." I replied.

"Aarya!!" Some voice called from behind.
I turned and saw it was Deeksha.
"Deeksha Hii!" I said and hugged her.

"I see you bought someone with you." She asked pointing at Rishi after she let go of me.

"Yeah. Deeksha this is Rishi. Rishi this is Deeksha." I introduced both of them.
"Hii." He said.
She just waved at him.
"So he knows?" She said raising her eyebrow.

God how do I answer this?
"He-"
I started but Rishi cut me off.
"Yess. And to answer the question how? I found it out on myself."
Wow. Deeksha is the first girl he hasn't used his cocky attitude on.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement.

"He is no danger." I added.
"But he do have to sign a NDA you know that? Right?"
I simply nodded.
That's the reason I dragged him inside.

"Ok I'm cool with it. You know my boyfriend also had to sign one?"
She said to Rishi.
I knew it already.

Deeksha was always like an older sister I never had. She can be a bit overprotective sometimes.

"Well. Nice boyfriend you have there Aarya." She said.
I coughed.
"Boyfriend?" I Asked.
"No?" She said raising her eyebrow once again.
"Best Friend." I said smiling.

"Aww. I wish you two were a thing. You two  would've looked cute together."

A thing?
Me and Rishi?
Nope.
