Aditi's POV

We ran into the art hall like the grim reaper is chasing us

Which could be partly true...

If I get suspended, I'd rather die

"We should have cleaned it up before leaving yesterday",I let out my words of regret

"Yeah,But let's do it now,while we still have the chance", Viv motivated

Standing on the spot of the crime:the red and blue painted floor,we nodded at each other beginning our work

"It doesn't go off easily",I complained

"Yeah....I can see that"

I picked up the bucket of water , pouring some down, prompting us to try again

We were full on work mode, nearing the end of it

"Excuse me?",a stren voice called from behind

I grabbed Vivan's hand and pressed it in fear
More like crushed it

We hid our panic stricken face to meet our unexpected visitor

"Thank goodness.We've been searching for you everywhere"

Two boys-probably freshers,spoke hurriedly

Searching us?

"Someone spilled their drink at the teacher's desk in lecture hall 8.Can you come clean it up?",one of the guy asked

The audacity of this guy

"Do we look like cleaners to you!??",I yelled

The guys looked at each other in puzzlement

"You are....not?",he gave me the peculiar look

Damit it!!I am

I took a step backwards and my feet hit something hard.But I wasn't in any place to focus on it

Vivan immediately rushed to my defence

"We are.And we'll be there in 5",he replied firmly

"Please make it fast.",the guy added walking away

Thanks goodness!!! We're saved

"Are you crazy???You almost outed us to those freshers",Vivan exclaimed

"Sorry"

I apologized as he nodded it off, walking past me to lay the last brick of the wall.

"What the hell!??",he shouted and I ran towards him

The floor was covered in paint all over gain.This time in yellow
That's when I realised what my stupid feet just hit

"Dee!!!!",Vivan groaned

I know,I know
I'm making it worse

"There's no point in trying to clean it up again.The time is 12:15",I panicked

He closed his eyes shut,facing the ceiling

"Tell Ri that we need some time",he opened his eyes like he found the exit ticket.

His voice was filled with enthusiasm and it calmed me down

'We could use some more time',I texted Kyra
