First Love

Chapter 4

I was looking for some books regarding our topic while Rishi was searching the information online. Yesterday we just went over our topic "books are better than technology" and wrote some points related to it. Today we decided to take some help from both books and technology.

After 10 minutes I have finally found some books related to our topic and was going through them. I saw the chair next to me shift and Rishi sit on it. 

"Did you find something useful in books?" He asked 

"I am still going through them" I replied

"There were some good article on the internet" He said and opened his notebook for me to read. I shifted closer to him and started reading. My knee brushed against his and I felt an electricity pass through my body probably static.

"The material is good" I said looking at him and smiled

He smiled at my comment and asked if I needed some help with the books

"Yes. Please" I said passing two books to him. We both read the material in silence and wrote  important points in our notebooks in between.

The bell rang and we both closed the books we were reading and Rishi stood up and stretched. We picked up our bags and left after saying bye to each other. I saw Shraddha standing on the door and waiting for me.

"Let's go" I said to Shraddha as I reached her

"Yeah" she said. We were walking towards the exit of the school and some students were playing basketball. I saw a ball coming towards me and I dodged the ball successfully but my happiness was short lived as my legs hit something on the ground and I was going to fall face first on the ground but someone held my bag and that stopped my fall. I straightened myself and looked at my savior it was a guy from the basketball team.

"Hey, are you alright? I am really sorry for that." he said looking at me for any injuries

"I am okay" I said and he picked up the ball and passed it back to his team

"Do you want something? Water? Anything?" he asked

"No, thanks" I replied

He looked at me once again and then got back to his team after muttering a sorry. I turned back to my best friend who was strangely quiet for so long. Shraddha was still looking at that guy's retreating figure. I called her name but she did not turn towards me so I shook her and she looked at me at last. 

"Where are you lost?" I asked her

"Lost? Where?" she said looking like I just caught her sneaking somewhere.

"There, maybe" I said pointing towards the guy. Her face flushed at my comment

"You are imagining things" she said and started walking towards the exit. I laughed at her and ran after her.
