You return like autumn and I fall all the time

chapter 1

I hate school, so much. Life would have been easier if I could just marry a rich man right now and just stay in bed all day.

" You're 16 sanjh, don't you think a little too young to think about marrige? . Now hurry up and pack your bag you're getting late for school"  my mom says

"Yeah yeah... I don't have hearing problems why shout? It's 7 in the morning"  i say

"It's 7:34, and you're getting late for school, leave already " she shouts again

"But school starts at 8 mum"

"Yeah but your dad has to go somewhere after dropping you so go a bit early today"

"AGH fine"

As I leave for school I realise that I don't hate school, i hate the subjects, maths actually and for some reason my parents think you can't be successful if you don't have maths in your subjects. I would have chosen computer science over it but my parents would have never let me
So now I have commerce with maths
A stream which has nothing but maths

"Stop talking to yourself" dad says
"Go in, bye!" He says with a fake smile

"What's stuck in your teeth?" I say

"What? Nothing?" 

"Then why are you giving your daughter such an awkward smile?"

"Hey don't you think you should be more formal while talking to me?"

"No?" I reply

"Whatever I'm running late i have to go somewhere so just go in already, bye"

"Byee"

I'm walking In from the school entrance and I hear someone shouting

"Hey wait for me!!"

Anjali, must be her, has to be her, she's the only person who has this amount of energy to shout on such a hot morning

"Why early today?" She asks while running towards me

"My dad had to go somewhere after dropping me so."

"Oh"
"What did you get for lunch?"

Another reason why anjali is anjali, she loves food well everybody does but she has a passion for eating if even a random kid is eating chips and is within the radius of 5 meters to her , she'll snatch it away without anyone realising.

"Nothing i don't bring lunch you know that don't you?" I reply to her question

"Oh right i forgot, so you got cash for the canteen rich gurl?

"Obviously baby gurl" i say to her

Actually, I don't mind coming to school that much.

I enter our new classroom "XI" it says, can't believe I'm a senior now

I put my bag on the desk next to the window so that I can get some air in this shitty weather

"Are you blind?"

I remember this voice but I'm not sure so i turn around to confirm and yes it's him

"Can you not see?" He says in his usual deep and rude voice

I'm still trying to understand why he would say that and before I say anything he says

"So you also can't talk?"

"I can see, talk , hear just as perfectly as you" i reply

"Why are you concerned?" I say

"Not that I'm concerned but If you say you can see as perfectly as me then why can you not see that i have already put my bag on that desk?"

"That's my seat, I'm sitting there"

I was wrong, I do mind coming to school.

"Seriously? Can't you just sit somewhere else" i say

"No" he replies

Yeah what else was i expecting from him

"Sanjh we can just sit somewhere else too" anjali says

" Who's bestie are you? Mine or his?"

"Ofcourse yours but he came here earlier so"

"Whatever but I will sit here"
I say while giving that brat a look

"Don't give me such looks the seat is mine you should have come earlier " he says to me in a cold voice

"Dakshith and sanjh, both of you be quite it's the first day of the school and look at you guys fighting over a seat"

That is our class teacher Mrs. Verma who also used to be our English teacher in grade 10th

"Ask her, she's clearly the wrong one here i came before her and chose to sit on this desk" he says while fixing his tie

As he attempts to fix his tie I can see the veins on the back of his forearms. He is hot I hate to admit this but he is fucking hot

But I will still not let him get the seat

"But you continue to argue over a seat so I'm not the only one wrong am i?"  I say

"Why don't you just sit behind , there are so many empty seats next to other windows"

"Look i don't want to argue with someone like you either but i have my reasons okay?"  I reply

"What do you mean by someone like me?" He says

"Someone like you."

"You know what I don't care I'm not giving you the seat sanjh, go sit somewhere else"

"I would have done that already but i told you i have my reasons"

"And what are those may I ask?"

"I'm short"

"What?" He says while bursting out with laughter

"Thats your reason?" He says while continuing to laugh

Ah god why did i say that

"Stop laughing okay? Not like I'm complaining or it's something I can change but I'm short so when I sit behind I can barely see anything that's ahead of me cause I'm not a giant monster like you Dak-shit" I say to him in the most intimidating way I could but he's still smiling as if he enjoys arguing with me

"Did you just call me shi-.."

"Okay enough both of you"
Mrs Verma interrupts

"How about you both sit together on that desk? Sounds like a fair deal to me"

"NO"  I find him saying that a bit louder than me

Why would he not want to sit with me not like i want to sit with him but who does he think he is? That's very mean of him to shout like that my voice almost hid under his

"Look we're getting late for assembly just put your bags there for now we'll see that later" Mrs Verma says

I put my bag unfortunately, next to his, and i find him giving me a stare while i do that

"What?" I say to him

"Nothing shorty" he says in the most annoying way possible

I hate this guy.
