7: Benchmates

Sahaj calmed himself down on his way back.
But now there was another thing that nagged him, where was he going to sit?

Now that Shubham was not there, he was all alone, and his teachers had a really big problem with students sitting alone.
And he really couldn't tolerate anyone in that class. It would be a miracle if he would not beat anyone today. He loathed the boys of that class. And girls were simply annoying.

Pondering over his thoughts he opened the door of his class room and just in front of him was standing Shreya laughing at something in front of Samidha, while she just furrowed her brows and glared at the her.

Shreya. To Sahaj, she was the most irritating person in the world. Shreya was good in studies, very good, but her behaviour and personality was not what he could tolerate. And in the past days, he has noticed that Samidha couldn't too. And by her looks, she looked like she wanted to pull her hair out of her head.

"I'm once again saying, sit somewhere else. That bench is empty too, why don't you sit there?"
Samidha said, trying to be polite.

"I can't see from there. And what is the problem with ume sitting here. If you don't want then you can go and sit there on that bench."

"Well I came here first, so I'm not going anywhere. You know it will be better if you go. I'm very annoying. I won't let you study. I sing in between classes. I will disturb you. That's why I want you to sit somewhere else."
Samidha said, trying to convince Shreya in the best way she could.
Shreya laughed.

"I don't have any problem with that Samidha. If there's anything else, try telling me I-"

"Yes there is. A big fucking thing."
Sahaj said, standing behind Shreya.

If not Shubham then it will be Samidha, but not a single person other than her. She was the only person in that class, that annoyed him and still he wasn't as angry as he usually was and she was pretty intelligent too.

Startled she looked back and stumbled backwards.

"Wh-what is it?"
She asked and Sahaj leaned in, taking hold of her bag and picking it up.

"I am the one sitting here. So you obviously can not."
He said, his eyes arrogant, a brow raised and the corner of his lips slightly turned upwards in an evil smirk.

Sahaj stared at Shreya as if he wanted to suck her soul out and then spit it. And then he threw her bag on the ground, which he had picked up before.

Eyes widened, mouth open and brain in shock, Shreya picked up her bag and went to the others bench.

Sahaj kept his bag on the desk and sat down, only to be faced with a sassy Samidha.

"And who allowed you to sit here?"
She asked raising her brows and keeping her hands on her waist.

"You didn't interrupt me when I sat, that means you have no problem with me sitting here."
He said bored opening up his backpack.

"Of course I do!"

"No you don't."

"I do!"

"No you don't."

"You can't sit he-"

"Look my dear fucking future benchmate-"
He gritted, getting a hold oh Samidha's wrist and pulling her towards him.

Samidha who was standing almost fell at the sudden pull, but she was quick enough to get a hold of the bench.

Her face was inches away from his and she could still feel his breath.

"I don't like you, you don't like me. We won't talk. So neither will you have any problem, nor will I. Or otherwise, you will have to sit with that stupid girl and get you brain eaten out for no reason. Choose carefully."
