The Eternity of Love

Chapter 9

Last period, Anaya closed her notebook and turned to look at Arhan. As soon as she turned her face, her breath got hitched. Arhan was already looking at her. Seeing her reaction he raised his one eyebrow, "What?". She blinked her eyes innocently.

"You....you.. why are you lo...looking at me?", she spoke while shattering and boom his expressions changed. Now it's time for Anaya, she narrowed her eyes and asked him lifting her eyebrows, "What?".

Arhan turned his face and blinked two times. "I was not looking at you", he replied while looking here and there.

"Then??"

He composed himself and looked at her before replying, "I was thinking that how would the window look like here".

Anaya frowned and thought, "Is he taunting me?"

"No I am not", he replied her unasked question and looked away. Anaya's eyes went wide in shock, how did he know what she was thinking?

She shook her head and changed the topic, "What about the board work??"

"You complete it", he replied doing his work.

"Oh hlo, we both got the punishment so you will also do this"

"We got it because of you, so you will do it"

"Are you serious??"

"No I am Arhan", she rolled her eyes at his answer.

"Listen Arhan, I have no interest in getting my marks deducted, so let's do it"

"I am not interested"

Anaya was about to say something but got interrupted by Arush. "Hey Anaya, can you give me your English notebook?", he asked. Anaya's gaze got diverted to him. She nodded and stared looking for her notebook in her bag.

She looked at Arush with a disappointed face and apologized, "Sorry Arush, I didn't bring my notebook today"

Arush smiled, it was like, this is what he wanted. He said immediately hiding his smile "No no it's OK. Give me your number then". Meanwhile Arhan narrowed his eyes smelling something fishy.

Anaya didn't understand that why is he asking for her number so sudden. She gave him a 'why' look. Arush got from her expressions and explained himself, "Give me your number, I will text you and you send me those notes on whatsapp"

"Oh, ya you can have it", she said with a smile.

She opened her mouth to say something but Arhan interrupted her and asked Arush, "Why don't you do your work on time?"

Arush turned his face towards him and replied, "I always do my work on time but this time I couldn't do it because of injury".

"So you should be careful", he said.

"I will take care next time", Arush replied in an uninterested tone and again turned his face towards Anaya and asked for her number again.

Anaya again opened her mouth to say something but this time also got interrupted by Arhan's voice. Arhan said loudly, "Diksha, do you have your English notebook?".

Diksha looked at him and replied, "Yes bro, I have".

"Is your work complete?"

"Yes"

"Give it to Arush, he needs it".

"OK", Diksha replied and started searching for her notebook in her bag.

Arhan turned his face towards Arush and asked, "Is it OK Arush?"

"Um..ya it's fine", he replied with an awkward smile, internally cursing him.
