I wake as the alarm clock rings for the 3rd time . Sunlight hitting my face through the window, I sit up and check the time
7:15 AM
I slowly get up and go to washroom and start brushing my teeth, i look in the mirror
" Damn, i look tired"
Aditi! - mom shouts my name
Coming Momma!- i repliedI come downstairs to see my father and younger brother Rohan eating in the dinning table.
Good morning -Dad says
Good morning,didi!- Rohan says excitedly
Good morning everyone - i replied
"You haven't shown me your result yet"- Dad saysOh, yes , i almost forgot!
I show him my result
"Hmm 97%, good"
"Just 97%?" - mom complainted
"Mom you never appreciate me!!"
Dad says- " Don't listen to her, you did great"
Mom- I didn't say I am not happy, I meant you could do better
I rolled my eyes and say- yes , yesTime skips~
After breakfast, I step out of the house, looking myself last time in the mirror. As i come out i see Pratik waiting for me with his cycle.
"Good morning, sleepyhead" pratik says
I replied
Yo,Good morning!
We started walking towards the school
Pratik- So, have you shown your parents your result?
Aditi - Yes just in the morning. How was your result?
Pratik- Well, I am not a topper like you but yeah it was better than last time.
Aditi - That's great!
Pratik - Have you heard the rumours?
Aditi- What rumours?
Pratik- About our Maths teacher, Mr. Saikia
Aditi - Mr. Saikia has to be the best teacher! He understands us. But what rumours?
Pratik- Well, idk I heard few girls talking that he harrassed a girl
Aditi- What? You got to be kidding me! I start laughing Mr. Saikia and harrasment? This is hilarious. i laugh harder, Pratik gets embarrassed.
Pratik- I just meant be careful!
*Red face*
Aditi- Oh, okay bro!
Pratik- Bro? *Annoyed face*In school
The first period was of Mr. Saikia's
All the students are doing maths
I am too, but my answer isn't matching.
Mr. Saikia comes towards me
Mr. Saikia - Not matching?
I replied - No, this is the 3rd time I am doing it
He started helping me in solving the maths
But then I realised he is close to me too close to me, our bodies are almost touching, I suddenly feel scared, I get an urge to push him away but all I can do is sit there silently,I am getting uncomfortable, why is he too close to me?,
I notice the smirk on his face, i get more scared
*The bell rings*
A sign of relief escapes from my mouth. He steps out of the class but gives me the same wierd smirk
The entire day I felt disturbed, tensed and scaredAfter school
I am walking to home,Pratik comes running.
Pratik- Heyy!
Aditi - hi
Pratik- Huh? What's wrong?
Aditi- Nothing
Pratik- You look tensed
What should I do? Should I tell him?I am confused. Maybe I am overreacting. Sir, was just helping me.
Aditi - yeah, I am fineOn the road to my house, i meet Pragati ( one of my bff)
Aditi- Hey Pragati!
Pragati - hi
