Zephyrs of Reveries

Sparks that never Ignited

May or may not be based on a true story....

Ashwin as Aaditya
Sivaangi as Arya

"Hello" A voice startled her.

She turned to see a guy incredibly tall, besides the fact that she was kind of in the average height percentile, he had a slight stubble as well.

"Hi.." She dragged not knowing what conversation to make to a stranger.

"You are from this section right?" He questioned noticing her hesitant reply.

"Yeah"

"I'm Aaditya your classmate" She shook her hand with a grin.

"Hello Arya here" She returned a smile.

"Woah cool name" He complimented to which he received a chuckle. "Okay, bye" He said and scurried on to greet the rest of the newcomers.

"Arya!" She turned to see her bestfriend.

"Omg Chaaru! I thought you were in C section" She cried hugging her.

"Even I thought I have to be alone if you are not there in this class bro" The latter exclaimed settling in the place beside Arya.

"What about the rest of the gang" Arya asked mentioning her other friends who chose different subjects.

"I met Farha and Abhinav on the way, they are in E section it seems." "Oh"

🐞

"Hey Arya, how much you got in physics" Jaden asked her as they were collecting first unit test papers from the teacher.

"How much you got?" She queried back.

"Trust me, I would have got muck worse than you. How much?"

She showed her paper to him with a perfect score of 20 on 20 with a special teacher's appreciation note in red ink. Jaden gasped at the sight of her marks and praised her on being so humble after scoring such a high number.

Just as she was heading to her seat after that conversation with Jaden, she was met with Aaditya questioning how much she scored.

When she revealed that she got a perfect grade, he was astounded, considering that although he is pretty good in physics this time he found the paper to be set tough.

"Wow topper!" His lips curved down in amazement.

"Hey it's nothing like that" She laughed going back to her place.

🐞

"So all of you enjoyed your winter break?"

Everyone looked at each others faces annoyed.

"What no one had fun?" The English teacher asked again.

Oh it was always these English teachers and their absurd questions! What a pleasant thing to ask a class of ninth graders who are already exasperated about having to study after 2 weeks.

'We did ma'am' The class sulkily replied.

"Okay, let's talk about what we did in these 10 days, I celebrated Christmas with family what did you do Riyaan?"

"I went to my grandparent's place ma'am"

"Okay, Aaditya?"

"I cycled around Pondicherry and took photos on my camera ma'am" He answered.

"Wow that is amazing, share the pictures with the class one day!" Ms. Cheryl exclaimed.

Of course! The it-boy of West Wood High School would do something extraordinary and contrary to most others. He was just built to do that. But there was one equally abnormal.
