Infamous famous

Sunny smile

"Oh, behind you," Shani glared at a spot somewhere behind Anya, squinting her eyes and basically spitting venom from her scowl, "Your ex."
Anya wordlessly turned around, blinking once, twice, "Yeah, that little piece of shit."
Shani blew away a strand of her hair off her face in frustration, almost as if Devaj was a serial killer rather than her friend's ex, "I still can't believe he broke up with you!"
"Hard truths," Anya shrugged, tucking her physics book closer to her chest.

Devaj pretended to ignore the curly haired girl, although from Shani's rapid fire eyes and Anya's irritated expression, he wasn't doing a considerably good job at it.
"Anya," He finally greeted, "Annie."
"Oh, so I'm Annie now!?" Anya shrieked as if she just recalled her ex.
Devaj didn't bother with a wince, he shrugged instead.
"You liked the name."
"Like hell I did!!"
"Is there a problem here?" Mrs. Jyoti appeared somewhere behind Anya, literally appeared, the teacher had a strange talent of doing so.

"No, ma'am," Shani answered on Anya's behalf as the girl herself was busy having a staring contest with Devaj. Rohan made an apologetic gesture, either apologizing for Devaj, or because he still considered Anya his friend and seeing her spitting acid made him apologize on instinct.

"Come on, mate," he steered Devaj away, all the while the guitarist glared at Anya who glared right back.

As soon as the boys turned a corner, she visibly sagged, "I can't believe half of the school like that slut of a guy!"

"He's coming!" Maya whispered urgently to khushi, "Ishitva is behind you."
Khushi had half a mind not to jump about in excitement.
"He's like two years older than you all," Ganga sighed in exasperation.
"Oh, shut up, as if you don't crush on every senior." Maya fumed.
"I don't?" Ganga meekly offered and Maya slapped her forearm without any heat.

Ganga sighed again as Maya and Khushi stared moon-eyed at Ishitva.

*_*

"Where the hell are my drumsticks!?" Ishitva practically shouted at the entire room.
"Probably up his ass," Ganga whispered to Anya who giggled and burst out laughing as soon as Ishitva met her gaze with heat.
"We need to practice so if you would be so kind as to help," He gritted out before whipping to the other direction and mulling about the books and stationaries.
"Maybe Madhav sir knows," Pihu offered from her seat.
"Yeah, but he's not here," Preeti scoffed, giving a death stare to Ishitva who was ignoring the said death stare.

"Come on, man," Devaj grinned, "give me a sunny smile!"
Ishitva scoffed once, then plopped himself on the chair opposite to Devaj, raising a brow.
"Now sing," Devaj beamed and strummed a chord.

Ishitva sulked throughout the song and maybe Anya and Ganga grinned alongside each other.
