"So you hugged Mama just like that?" Orhan asked, "That's so lame."
"It's not lame," Haseena said smiling at Karishma, "It was cute and I just didn't know if I liked girls yet well then I kinda knew. I also developed a huge crush on this beauty right here."
"Don't say it like that, it's gross," Arya said.
"Okay, okay."
"Keep going with the story though."
"So Karishma and I had regular tutoring sessions every single Tuesday and Thursday. We were becoming friends I guess you could say."
..........
"No, you know how to do this, stop reading," Haseena said taking the random book from Karishma's hands, "You have to do this trial balance."
"I was reading that!" Karishma exclaimed, giving Haseena a pouty look.
"I know, but you can't have it. You have a test this Friday Karishma and you can't fail it."
"This is dumb," KS mumbled.
"Well then maybe you shouldn't be bad at accounting, now focus." HM replied
"Haseena It's not my fault that I suck at accounting."
"And I'm trying to help you not suck," Haseena said turning the page in her textbook, "Now come on, please?"
Karishma let out a sigh and looked down at the textbook. "What does this even mean?"
HM smiled and started to explain everything to KS step by step.
"I like your dimples," Karishma said randomly.
"Uh thanks?" Haseena said a little confused as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"They look cute on you Haseena."
"Seriously Karishma? What are you playing at right now?"
"I'm not doing anything." Karishma replied.
"Karishma you're trying to get me all flustered so we don't focus."
"I am not Haseena!"
"You are," HM said before going back to explaining the same problem to her.
"You should grow your hair out to waist length," Karishma told Haseena, tugging her shoulder length hair.
Haseena slapped her hand away, "I've tried. My mom always makes me cut it."
"It's cute," Karishma said, smiling.
"Karu, stop."
"Hm, only Cheeta, Santu and Mikey call me Karu," KS said.
"Am I not supposed to? Do you want me to call you Miss Singh like everyone else?"
"God no, I hate that," Karishma said, crinkling her nose.
"How about I call you Karu?"
"That works for me," KS said and smiled. "Now come on, Haseena, we gotta study."
"I know we do," HM said elbowing KS in the side. "Ow!" KS whined.
"Study time."
"You're abusive. Don't you know that negative reinforcement doesn't work?" KS demanded.
"Oh my god, shut up and can we please just study!" HM said getting frustrated.
These sessions always went like this and it was becoming annoying and it was the worst part about all these. Karishma had the attention span of like, a five year old.
