As she starts walking again, she couldn't stop thinking about the way he pronounces her name. Her family has the most extended entourage but no one has ever pronounced her name like that. She reaches school but is sweating very bad, she walks to her class ignoring everyone. Ethan is staring at her when she sits a few seats away. Meera is sitting a few seats away, she is mad at her for kicking her out the room the previous night. She heads for the cafeteria after the class. She scans the room for some familiar faces, and there it is, harry is sitting at a table staring at a waffle in his plate. She walks to him and sits in the chair next to him, he smiles at her.
Harry : would you like to have a waffle?
Bhargavi : well only if you didn't curse at it just now.
He laughs and feeds her a bite while she digs into her bag.
Harry : how did you get to school today?
Bhargavi : I couldn't think of anything so I walked.
Harry : omg you must be kidding me right now. Why didn't you ask your dad to drop you?
Bhargavi : haha that would be last thing I would ever wish for.
Harry : come on! my mom still drops me off at school when Akash is busy.
Bhargavi : well I'm not HARRY:THE INTROVERT.
Harry makes a face then looks away as Meera reaches the table, with Michael on her heels.
Michael : hey bubbles, how was the walk to school today?
She isn't ready for the miki talk yet so she just makes a face and finishes her waffle. She is craving for a bath.
Michael : meet me at the basket ball court after school today, I'm going home alone because Meera has some stuff to do I'll give you a ride.
She opens her mouth to say something when Michael interrupts,
Michael : never mind, you can always buy me a pizza.
She grins at him, he grins back before leaving.
Later that day,
She makes her way to the basketball court after class. The team is still practicing when she arrives, so she makes herself comfortable on one of the chairs in the corner. Michael spots and starts running to his bag she wonders what is wrong with him. He texts her.
Michael : I'm sorry I almost forgot, can you give me 5 minutes?
She makes a face at him and texts back.
Bhargavi : yeah alright just make it fast.
He grins at her and runs to the dressing room.He is in such a hurry that he slips which makes her laugh. She looks back atthe bench where Michael had his bag, and there he is Ethan Brooke staring ather again.
