- next morning -

"Beta uth jao! Nahi toh aap late ho jaoge! " Shila aunty shakes me.

"Hm?" I rub my eyes waking up.

" Oh no! " I looked at the clock and run towards the bathroom. Then brushed my teeth and got ready for school.

I walked out to the room and packed my bag. Then went out without having breakfast.

I checked the date and remember first class was english Today. The class may have started by now.

Reaching the school I rushed towards the class.

" May I come in? " I asked breathing heavily.  Miss Mallik looks over her eyebrows furrowed.

" Are you ok? " She asked slowly.

" Yeah.. just.. ran " I answered.

She nods. " Come and sit down "

Everyone else was writing something so I looked at her and she walks down to my desk and said.

" So I want you to write an paragraph about yourself.  I know it's childish but I want atleast 5 lines. So write about what you like or don't like or whatever makes you happy or sad and all. "  Looking at me.

I nod.

It was only then when she was looking at me I noticed her eyes were hazel brown colour, and there was a shine in her eyes. Oh, she is really beautiful.

She walked away from my desk and I took out a pen and started writing.

A few minutes later I walked up to her table and folded the page and placed it on the table. She smiled at me and I smiled back. Then I went back to my desk. I only wrote two lines about myself and it was just how old I'm and I like reading and traveling.

The class ends and everyone gets up and leaves for the practical class. As I walk past Miss Mallik's table she stopped me.

" Can I talk to you for a second? " She asked.

" Yeah sure..."

She pulls out my page where I've written those two lines and handed in to me.

" I said atleast five lines , does it look like five lines to you? " She asked.

I tilt my head trying to think of what to say. I looked at her and she pressed her lips as she was trying not to smile.

" I want you to write more ." She looked away. I think she was smiling.

" Yes mam. " I said without any expression and she smiled rolling her eyes.

I decided not to go for the practical classes Today instead go to the library and work on the paragraph.

I take a seat in the library at a table and took out a pen for writing.

A few minutes later I had nothing written down. I saw Miss Mallik came in with some books in her hand.

She didn't notice me as she set down the books on the table of the librarian.

" What are all these Haseena? " The librarian, Anam asked.

" The books I took from the library " she sighs fixing her hair.

She looked around and noticed me. She started walking towards my table and smiled.

" Can I sit? " She asked.

" Yes " I nodded.

She sat down beside me and looked at the page.

" Are you finding it difficult? " She looked at me as she rested her chin on her knuckles.

" I suppose, I mean I don't know what to write and you want atleast five lines. " I huff, she nodded and took my pen out of my hand.

" Well.... You could start by saying like you did in the park that night to ease your stress or something like that."

I shrugged and dropped my head.

" Come on, look up. " She said. I groaned annoyed and looked up.

" Write about you, it can be anything. Your friends, family, things you love or hate or people like your girlfriend about whom you were telling me. "

She handed me the pen and I started writing and she watched.

" Hey Babe , you said you would have lunch with me today! Then why are you here? It's annoying. " Mishri asked walking towards the table staring at me then to Miss Mallik.

" Miss Mallik. Hi, I'm Mishri " she grinned at Miss Mallik.

" Yeah I figured, I heard a lot about you."

" All good I hope"

" Hmm" Miss Mallik chuckled and stood up.

" Please hand me that by the end of the day, five lines" Miss Mallik smiled and I nodded. Then she walked away towards Anam.

" Pata nahi kyu mujhe wo thodi ajib lag rahi hai " Mishri said looking at the retiring figure of Miss Mallik.

" She's nice and beautiful " I said unknowingly.
