Best Friends OS

Hey guys, I'm back with another one shot. This was requested by Sumisha on TU.

Starts

Riddhima, a girl in year 7 walked down the corridor with the rest of her classmates following her in a straight line. The teacher had instructed her to go to the 10th standard class. They were to have a meeting there with the older students for help in studies.

As her footsteps reached the door of the 10th classroom, she shivered at the thought of the elder boys and girls intimidating them in the pretext of studies, she didn't want to get bullied here like the way she had gotten in her previous school. She was a victim of bullies who bullied her for her complexion and styling.

One guy from inside the class looked at her, he smiled at her behavior as he saw her fidgeting with her finger and breathing in and out. Riddhima heard the teacher's voice from inside and she followed the path inside stopping and facing the class. The teacher called out names and each one had to go to the person they were matched with.

Teacher: Riddhima, with Vansh there! (pointing)

Riddhima: Sure Ms.

Riddhima went near Vansh and sat beside him. Soon she got a bit comfortable with him, he was understanding and gentle with her that made her fall for him. He asked her some questions and explained some topics that she had problems with.

Spending a few hours with each other in the class had made them realize that they were very comfortable with each other. Vansh, despite being a little older than her didn't find it embarrassing or funny having her as a friend in fact he respected his choice of friends.

Vansh: So friends? (asking)

Riddhima: Umm sure....well to be honest I'm not an open girl who makes friends and all so easily but today it's something different. But I hope your friends wouldn't mind?

Riddhima asked him back sensing the laughter that the boys and girls who sat near them tried to stifle. Vansh smirked at her question and replied coolly.

Vansh: As if I give a damn about what they think! (chuckling) You know I have a very good choice even if it's in picking friends. These guys sitting near us aren't my friends in fact those who are focusing and not laughing are my friends because they don't mind. And why would I mind being friends with you anyway?

Riddhima: Lots of reasons; my complexion, it's darker than anyone else's. Second, me being almost like a tomboy, I mean my clothing and all isn't that stylish. Third, me being a victim of big bullies! And I can go on you know (reasoning)

Vansh: (laughing) And I'd be friends with you because of many reasons; I don't see someone's complexion but their inner beauty that defines their genuine personality. Complexion doesn't define who you are. Second you being not so stylish and almost like a tomboy doesn't make a difference to me because as long as you've got clothes to wear on you are fine. You're you! Third being a victim of bullies then let me tell you, who are they to pass comments on you? (raising his eyebrows) In fact it's their bad to have messed with such a lovely girl like you. And I can go on you know! (smiling)

Riddhima was in tears listening to it. It was the first time when someone had actually encouraged and motivated her instead of blaming and taunting her. His words made her realize her own self. She passed on a light smile and nodded.

Vansh: Friends?

Riddhima: Friends! (shaking hands)

Vansh: Great! Whenever you have any problem, I'll be there for you. (she nodded)

Having their first meet so wonderful, they felt different. They felt an attraction towards each other. Soon after they got more friendly and comfortable with each other, becoming best friends. They used to catch up together at lunch breaks and after school for studies as well as normal talks. They teased each other, they laughed and joked around with each other, they ate together....doing everything together.
