CHAPTER.9-RACING TO CLASS

Next day

Radhika's POV...

The alarm was ringing very loudly this morning. I was very sleepy because I slept late last night. Five more minutes please.... I wanna sleep........

"Get up! Radhika! Get up you will be late!" My mummy shouted.

"Ha ruko na mummy please... mujhe sona hai..."* I said in Hindi.

"Forget it! When you get late don't ask me to drop you at school ok. " She said angrily.

"Fine......" I got up and saw the time.

6:30!!!!!

The clock read. I panicked. Oh god I am gonna be sooooo effing late! Shit , shit,shit.

I got up hurriedly to go to the bathroom. I knew I was gonna be late because school starts at 7:15.

I decided to not have breakfast and eat something on the way.

7:00.... I am late. See now I missed my bus. I thought to myself when I see the time. The bus arrives at 6:45.

I run to ask dad to drop me off in his car.

" Sure, but be careful next time, honey. " He said half nicely.

"But on your regular car please." I begged. My dad was a guy of the government so my dad has a car with a red light on top of it. Every government official has that. Thankfully my dad has another one that does not drive too much attention towards itself

He usually insists on that car because it saves traffic.

" But it saves traffic and you can arrive at school looking like a celebrity." My dad chirped.

"No ,thank you. I don't want to draw attention to myself. I would like to be a simple girl with a simple car. Please. We are getting late. Let's go!"

I say finally losing patience.

I see that my dad is in his pajamas but I don't care 'cause I gotta run.

He takes his car out of parking and I get in.

Ranveer's POV
God! What the hell is with this tie....
I am going to be late.

I was struggling with my tie. As usual I got up late. I am now getting ready to go to school but this stupid tie is being uncooperative.

I skip breakfast and run to catch a Rickshaw. I quickly board it and tell him to go faster. I see the time 7:10. I only have five minutes to reach school.

Just my luck there is immense traffic on 4th street that is 10 minutes away from school. Shit!! Why me?

I can't help but sit there. Today's lateness will go on the all year record. The school gives demerits for lateness.

I sit there in complete silence. I look around the place and I see many cars stuck in traffic. Then from the window I see a car in which a girl is sitting in what looks like our school blazer and stuffing her face with doughnuts and having coffee.

I smile to myself because this is the first time I have ever seen a girl eat. Most of them prefer low calorie food. He face was barely visible because she was eating a big jam doughnut.

Then after a minute she took another one. It's nice to see someone actually enjoying there food. I gazed at her smiling. She saw me and gave me death glare. I quickly stopped looking at her and she resumed eating.

Radhika's POV
Wow!!!! Dunkin' doughnuts is the best...... yum.....

I think as I take another one out of the box. It was a chocolate glazed one. I had no time for breakfast so I tell papa to make a quick pit stop to the doughnut shop. He buys three doughnuts- two jam and one chocolate and a medium latte. I have my breakfast in the car. In the mornings I am like Pac-man. Super hungry and eat whatever I find. I also maintain my calorie intake. The traffic was terrible but I was busy eating.

From the corner of my eye I could see a guy staring at me. I wanted to tell him that ,yes we girls do eat like a bunch of pigs.

The traffic was not moving. Oh well, my bad.

Did I mention that once I start eating I don't care about the world.

Seriously if Armageddon strikes in the middle of my eating I would rather continue than go run for my life.

I gave the guy a dirty look he stopped looking.

Yup.... I'm late. It's 7:20.

Ranveer's POV

7:20.... I am now officially late for school. I see the Rickshaw arriving at the big iron gates of St. Mary's. I pay the driver and hurry inside. At the same time I see the car that I saw on the road arrive too.

Emerging from inside is a very good looking girl. Hey... She is the same girl that was having her breakfast in the car.

She didn't look like she is a foodie. She looks like one of those salad and green tea girls. This girl was tall,she had a dusky bronze complexion. She had long, black hair and fringes too.

She was talking to her father smiling. I could only see the side of her face but I noticed that she had dimples. If she looked cute from the side she must look even better upfront. I stared at this person in front of me for at least five minutes.

Must be a senior. But I have never seen her in the school. Oh, she must be the new girl Abdul was talking about.
What did he say her name was? Rohini? Ahhhhh.... forget it I have to get to class.

I quickly snap out of my daydreaming and head towards class. The girl came right behind me. I was taking a fast sprint to class I guess she thought I was challenging her so she ran even faster. Fine, you wanna race me chica. Bring it on.

I gave her a challenging stare. She gave it back to me. Wow, she has honey brown eyes.

Then we both took a headstart. We raced to the class room side by side.

Radhika's POV

In no time we reached school. The guy I saw back in the traffic was also there. I just saw him getting in.

" Listen, the past is in the past. It's time for you to make your life and fulfill your dreams. I expect nothing but excellence from you, honey queen.

I smiled when my dad called me by my nickname. As a kid I used to really like honey so my dad named me Queen of The honey. Hence, he calls me honey queen. I have a lot of nicknames. My mummy calls me sunshine because I am the sun of our home. My brother calls me Kris. You know we are a chirpy sibling you know Karan and Kris. Most people know me as Kris in my family.

" Papa, I'm getting late. Can I go now? " I try to avoid his "look toward the future" lectures as they seem to go on and on.

" Oh, yeah. Sorry. Anyways, have fun! I love you my little Kris." Papa said with his dimpled smile which I had inherited from him.

"Ok, love you too papa. Bye" I said as is ran into school. I saw that guy again. He was trying to outrun me that sicko. He gave me a challenging stare and we both race to the class.
