First time heart flutters

Chapter-1 Meet the devil

It was sultry afternoon in the city.
"Hell with this school. Why do they keep exams during on hot summer afternoon. I shall melt before I reach school." Naina fussed as she entered the school campus.
It was Social science exam that day.
I must revise history before I enter exam hall. If not, I am out of race today.
Walking towards the notice board, she checked for the exam hall.
"10201-10218 EH-2 Activity block..."
She sighed. She must climb two floors.
I hate my life.
Climbing to the second floor, she reached the secluded spot of the activity block where her friend cum soul sister Preeti was busy learning geography.
"Hi."
"Hello." Preeti greeted back.
"How did you prepare?"
"I learnt nothing." Preethi ranted.
Naina knew about Preeti. It was her usual dialogue.
Smacking her head lightly, she sat next to her.
Preeti smiled sheepishly.
"We have PEP classes today. I hope we complete revising before that."
Naina said but immediately thought of giving up the idea after seeing Swati.
Swati was Naina and Preeti 's best friend.
The usual late comer was early that day.
"Swati." Preeti squealed as she moved a little, giving space
to her.
My slapping bag had finally arrived. I love slapping Swati. All began with a bet. She has 1,79,826 slaps remaining according a bet we kept earlier.
"Good afternoon dear staff and students, kindly raise up for prayer. Students roaming in the corridor are instructed to stand on their places for prayer." The voice of their Principal filled the arena through the speaker attatched at the biology lab located at corner of the building.
Naina closed her eyes and started praying. Her thoughts were restless. Thanks to her favourite show Ishqbaaz. She had been watching the confession scene once again that morning and from then on her amygdala was driven crazy with crazy thoughts.
I feel like something good is going to happen today. Are they going to ask questions for history from the lessons I learnt thoroughly??
I will be happy if they ask so.
But something more than that was about to happen.
                                       💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
"Today we shall have PEP classes with afternoon batch." Ananya said.
Me,Preeti,Ananya, Kamya and Hema had been chosen for PEP classes. Those were classes conducted for promising students in our school. Swati wasn't selected. We all felt bad for it. Even Swati was pissed off due to that. From that day onwards, I chose not to speak to Swati regarding PEP classes. I can't see her getting hurt.
Let me introduce my friends circle-
Ananya: Topper of our circle or to be precise our batch.
Kamya: The unpredictable
Hema: Preeti ka Dushman
Preeti: Hema ka Dushman
Grace: The foodie
(Thanks to Hema's possessiveness on Swati)
"Can we go?? Shanti mam shall be waiting for us." Preeti hurried up.
Shanti mam was the maths staff handling 11th and 12th of our school. She was known to me as she is mom of my bff Adithya's friend.
"Let's go."
Naina pulled Preeti to the biology lab, the place where PEP classes were organized.
"Don't leave us." The trio- Ananya, Kamya and Hema shouted from behind as they joined us.
                                      💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Naina walked inside the biology lab with the gang following her.
She inhaled sharply and momentarily stopped walking as she saw a guy straight in front of her. He was tall, so tall that it looked like he was standing when he sat on that stool of lab.
Naina could feel her cheeks getting heated up and blood rushing to her face.
My heart beats were erratic. I was breathing heavily as if I saw my favourite star Mahesh Babu in front of me.
He looked like the Telugu super star who is my favourite.
This guy is my SSMB.
Mere saiyaan superstar...mein fan hui unki...
Besharam!
Stop singing. You are checking him out shamelessly like how Anika checked out Shivaay.
For sake of Ramachandra, you are in lab.
In middle of twenty to thirty students. Control Naina!
She quickly made her way to the corner of the table.
Shit! I am sitting next to him??
God save me from getting a cardiac arrest!
He was engrossed in his text book.
Main teri hoon...piyaji...mein teri hoon..hoon..
Shut your stupid thoughts. Ekdum Besharam!
Naina turned her head towards Preeti.
Soon she could hear his voice as he began discussing things with his friend sitting next to him.
Soon Shanti mam walked in and introduced the resource person for the session.
The one hour session was like an eternity for Naina.
She was controlling herself from looking at him at the same time while trying to concentrate at the inputs given by the resource person.
Tum hi ho...ab tum hi ho...zindagi ab tum hi ho..
Aahhh.. My amygdala is driving me crazy.
Anyone who could spot Naina from outside shall think that she is calm and attentive. Even Preeti can't guess what's happening within her.
Naina knew that some alien feelings are being kindled in her heart.
Finally the session came to an end. Naina sighed as she got down from the seat.
The group was asked to disperse.
Attendance?? How shall I know his name??
Ramachandra..
Attendance was my only hope.
I hate people who skip their duty.
Naina looked around.
Where did he go?? Shit! Did he leave??
Gosh! My Prince is gone!
She hid her feelings with a smile as she walked away not before looking around one again.
                                       💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
"Finally Naina fell for someone!" Her Dil squealed.
"Never. It was just a distraction for a while." Her Dimaag clarified.
It's a Dil vs Dimaag. Great! What else shall make this day even better??
"Yes her dimaag is right." Her ego argued.
"You shall never accept." Dil sighed.
"Really??" Dimaag chuckled.
"Naina never falls for someone." Dimaag said proudly flipping it's hair in SSO style.
"Let's see." Dil said.
"It's not the end but beginning. See how she goes head over heels while thinking about him."
"Nonsense." Naina 's conscience yelled.
" I swear she does nothing like that."
"So bet??" Dil asked wickedly.
"Bet." Dimaag, Ego and conscience said in unison.
In normal conditions, three vs one shall lead to the win of three but when cupid turns blind one win against three!
Naina doesn't know this but destiny knows.
