yours Selfishly

ch-5

I couldn't recall what I did for Darsh to give me  such an harsh treatment, I was being dragged to the nearest bookshelf without my consent.
" What the hell did you do!?" The tension in his voice made me think of all the mistakes I had done in my life.
I had no choice but stare right into his eyes as he pinned me against the corner of library.
" You just invited Daksha 's crush to the club"
I blinked not sure how to react but suddenly I feel like laughing at his attempt at picking fight, he lost his hard expression ,with a amused look for a moment .
" I know what your trying to do , but this is ridiculous." My shoulders were shaking as I was laughing .
" What the hell did you do " I mimicked him .

I was thinking 5 activities in one week with teacher inspection . But if Darsh was telling the truth about Daksha liking sidhaarth, I have to shorten it even more, Daksha turns to the cringiest person ever when she is flirting with someone, I should know , before we stopped being friends I had seen her several times do that , it gets to the point when your eyes start hurting .
Kids from nearby desks were giving dirty looks which made my laughter end , he was standing , Arms crossed,
Frown plastered in his face.
"God I forgot how annoying you were."
" Well I remember you liked this annoying girl." I  immediately regretted saying that . It was just a assumption by Aroshi , and every movement he made , she made me wanna doubt if  he liked me. I don't  think so now . But I blurted it out .
He became still as a statue , I didn't have the boldness in me to look up.
But I did look up, when he was gone.

When I headed near the desk after taking  some novels  from  the shelf , sidhaarth was there and so were the twins. Daksha was leaning forward, smiling her teeth out " someone told me you like ukulele "
" I do " sidhaarth answered not looking at her. He was staring seriously at a wildlife magazine cover  .
I decided to watch the fun from afar.
" I have always been interested in ukulele could you perhaps teach me "
She was blinking abnormally fast and playing with her hair agressively.
I could see Darsh questioning her sanity . His eyes met mine, he almost immediately  teared his gaze away.
Now I had to interrupt them . " Okay ! Let's plan our activities shall we " I announced as I sat besides Sidhaarth .

" I was thinking we should do  some summary reads from different genre. I would recommend contemporary and soulful ." Sidhaarth    sounded a bit too much excited.
" You realize it's 5 activities for the term and we are done ,right?" Darsh commented. His eyes glued to some fancy font writing .
" Why ?" He asked .
The
Curiosity made me even more irritable .
" You see we are all busy..." Started Daksha, but I jumped to answered " actually we can't stand each other " he was going to find out sooner or later anyways.
Nobody said anything more, because I ended anymore possible questions from him.
After much thinking and searching , I came up with some activities .
I knocked at the table to get everyone's attention" I have decided the activities, they are going to short with teachers inspection here and there"
" How come you get to decide everything" Daksha objected. Of course she would want more time with her crush and of course I wouldn't give her that.
" Ok any suggestions" nobody said a word, not even Darsh , who would do anything to bug me.  I guess we are on this one together.
We passed the list in circle , as I described the details . All the time my eyes kept moving to sidhaarth who was concentrating at my face , it made it hard for me to keep reading .
As soon as the bell rings Darsh out of here .
Daksha 's hard stare was enough for me to stack the books .I was about leave when I heard her say " will you help me issue the books " I almost thought she was saying that to me , I turned to see her looking not at me .
He was still reading that magazine . He looked up  and said "sure"
" Let's go " am I imagining things or was he adressing me .
I decided to ignore my instinct and  was walking away .
"Hey wait for me" so he was talking to me .
I took a deep breath and responded" I didn't ask you " my voice , seemed robotic to me .
" Sorry let's go "  I heard him talk , he ran passing from me  to the librarian table .
My attention went back to Daksha, It wasn't surprising she was offended .
A frown was on her face " you are head over heels in taking everything I like from me aren't you " her eyes glimmered with anger. She gets up , I am in lose of words when she is coming near me. She pushes me hard twice . Making my heart get even more heavier .
" Stay  away, I mean it." and she is gone .

I wanted to say I am not interested in sidhaarth , that she can have him all . But then I realised it wasn't only about him . My breathing grew uneven, from the intense things I was feeling . My knees grew wobbly, because I knew why she treated me like this , and it was all my fault.
