Desi School Romance

Chapter 9: Friends

"This is hell, I hate this class."
Aadab whispers in my ear. We are in the middle of our biology class, and mam is teaching, well guess a bit what she must be teaching, lemme give you hint. This chapter is why half the boys are so eager to study biology.

Yeah, Reproduction unit.

"What did you just say right now? I think my ears are not working properly I just heard you say Hell."

I'm really shocked at this. Because this is Aadab. I've never heard her cursing even mildly. As if she's a nun. Hence I'm sure I heard wrong.

Aadab never even let's me and Diksha say anything, and we really have to be careful around her.
Otherwise she suddenly becomes a fire breathing dragon from a cute little Pomeranian.

She looks at me with exasperation.
"You heard just fine". She says with disdain? in her voice.

A chuckle sounds from the place where boys are seated.

"Ughhh, what could be the longest sentence I'll have to serve if I kill my classmates". Aadab says again.

"Are you all right?" I say and I put a palm on her head to check if she's all right.

Because Aadab and violence, she's probably the mother Earth herself. With all the kindness and compassion Anybody can mistake her for a Goddess.
I swear, I sometimes see a damned halo around her head.

"Is there any problem Anaysa and Aadab?"
Vidhi mam says in her no nonsense voice from the front where she's explaining the Menstrual Cycle.

"Oh no,ma'am nothing. "
Than kindly stop your chitchat and focus on the topic.
I turn red from embarrassment and nod my head.

This time I don't say anything but write a note and slid it to Aadab.
"What in the name of God did you eat or drink today, toxocating mushrooms, Vodka thinking it was water. You look pretty angry, you can finish the war between Ukraine and Russia by that look you have right now.

She looks at the note and writes back in her elegant cursive, which could pass for midieval Italic calligraphy.
I'm telling you she's a Goddess disguised as a human.

"I really hate people right now, boys especially, and you do listen to serial killer podcasts, any ideas on mass killing?"
My eyes are trying to come out and run away to hills right now when I read it.

"Who are you? what did you do to Aadab? Are you a witch,disguised as Aadab?"

"Oh please, enough with your dramatics. I'm already stressed as it is".
She's pretty pissed right now and the surroundings are not helping either.

"Why,what happened?"
I slid the note, but Vidhi ma'am sees me and the warning in her eyes are clear to both of us.

We remain quiet for the rest of the class trying to focus amidst the whispering and muffled chuckling.

Really, even a teacher as strict as Vidhi ma'am cannot control this,but she's trying her best and is in full Snape mode, if you don't know who he is,pity.
Let me tell you, he's a teacher in Harry Potter and a scary one.

After the class ends, we take our leave.

I ask on the way, "So what happened?".
"I'll tell you later now's not the time to discuss this".
She's clearly exasperated right now and angry and distraught? It wa not that bad that she's distraught must be something else I think.
It is serious.

I soften my voice and say, "Hey, you know you can tell me, after all that's what friends are for, right?".

" Yeah,I know".
She smiles than, her sweet angelic smile. Just as she's about to tell me, Daevi catches up to us and says, "What's going on? Aadab looks pretty wound up?"
