CHAPTER 2 Part 8

RECAP- After the assembly, Aashima enquired about Ishaan & some other boys who slid into her DMs to Bhumi & Anam as they were the mutuals of these guys over Instagram & came to know that they belong to the other classes. The story now continues....

As we discussed that, Bancho & Bhuvan overheard us & the latter said- "Dekha tune, abhi se hi log use uncomfortable feel karwa rhe hai. Upar se tu bhi yehi kiya toh phir gayi wo" & the former confidently asserted- "Nhi Bancho, aisa kuch nhi hoga. Main use aisa feel hi nhi karwaunga. Aur waise bhi wo bahut acchi hai..." Bhuvan then remarked- "Tera kuch nhi ho sakta, kabhi nhi sudhrega"

That day Varun & Rahul planned a mischief on Sarika Ma'am & I cooperated. None of the girls would be interested in such stuff other than me & I guess that's what the guys were liking, I would be always in for such activities. And this time too, nobody got caught. Also, Bancho had been feeling too sleepy to even sit with his head up. The classes were too boring & he would put his head down in between the lectures & so, he got rebuked by Bubbly sir. But this time, nothing serious happened.

The day was going simple but it was the recess that added spice to it. After having lunch in the class, all of us planned to sit on the big stairs behind the main open stage as they were wide & could fit all of us, unlike the limited canteen stairs. But as I was about to sit, I heard a voice calling my name from behind me. As I turned, I discovered that it was none other than Ishaan. He was the student of the class adjacent to us & had noticed me from there. He then started a conversation while the boys just look at us...

Ishaan- Hi Aashima!

Aashima- Hey! Kya main tumhe jaanti hoon?

Ishaan - Maybe nhi, cause humne kabhi baat nhi ki. Myself Ishaan, class 11C3 se...

Aashima- Okay!

Tanmay - (got anxious) Oye! Kya dikkat hai tujhe?

Aashima- Tanmay! Let him speak, aise beechme tokte hai kya?

Tanmay - Sorry! (Bancho & Sid chuckled as I reproved him)

Aashima- (To Ishaan) Haan toh tum kuch keh rhe the..

Ishaan - Haan wo maine tumhe Instagram par text kiya tha, tumne reply nhi kiya...

Aashima- Mujhe karna chahiye tha kya? Okay, ab kar deti hoon...

Ishaan- Idhar? Sabke saamne?

Aashima- Haan? Main jo karti hoon saamne hi karti hoon & I don't think ye koi itni private baat hogi? Hai kya?

Vansh - Haan gupt rog hoga ise, but tu iske (Aashima) ke paas kyun aaya?

Bancho- Banch... doctor ke paas jaa na

[Everybody started laughing]

Aashima- (giggled) Huh! Ruk jaao Vansh. (To Ishaan) Haan, you continue na...

Ishaan - Wo Aashima, Twinkle twinkle little star, will you be my pehla pyaar?

[And the girls cackled while the boys got furious]

Bancho- Kya Bancho! Kya bak rha hai ye?

[First time said Bancho in my presence & as he realized, he covered his mouth but it was too late. Bhuvan would look at him with eyes wide open, gesturing Bancho to control himself but the latter assumed I didn't noticed cause I was impassive]

Sidharth - Tera dimaag thikane mein hai? Tu...

Aashima- (interrupted) Ah boys! Koi baat nhi, he wants my answer na. Mujhe hi bolne do... (Ishaan smiled happily)
