.Mr. Weird Malhotra༊˚

AVNI'S POV :

The teacher started to teach the lesson and I started taking notes. I noticed my seat mate was sleeping on the desk.
"I'm Ishan, Ishan Malhotra", he said while still sleeping. I ignored him and continued taking the notes.

After teaching the concept, the teacher asked, "Do you want to try to solve this question, Avni? I have heard you are good at physics."

I said sure and went towards the board to solve the question. I solved the question in 4 steps and handed back the chalk to the teacher.

"Wow, you solved the question in a few steps, this method is really good and less time-consuming", Mr. Gupta praised me. I thanked him and went back to my seat.

"You are good at studies?" Ishan asked, lifting his head from the desk.

I replied him "maybe" and continued listening to the teacher's lecture.

The lecture ended after 30 minutes. The teacher informed me to meet him at the break and then left the class.

"You are awesome, Avni. You solved that question effortlessly", Nidhi said while turning back.

"It wasn't that hard, you are just exaggerating it", I replied while reviewing the notes I just made.

"No, she is telling the truth. You have to agree", Aaron said agreeing with Nidhi.

Before I could say anything, a girl said, "Hi!!".

I noticed a girl with her hair opened, wearing a skirt above her knees, who was tall and beautiful, standing in front of me. I noticed a badge on her shirt, 'Class Monitor' written on it.

"Hello!" I replied waving my hands at her.

"I'm Neha Choudhury, the Class Monitor", she said, folding her hands.

Before I could reply anything, Neha held Ishan's hand which was on the desk as he was still sleeping and said in a fake voice, "Ishannn...why don't you come and sit with me now? All the seats are filled now. You don't have to sit with this newbie. Come and sit with me."

"I don't want to", Ishan replied, freeing his hands from hers and getting back to sleeping.

"Do you like this seat more? No worries. I will shift here", she said after thinking for a while.

"Let's switch seats, Newbie", she said looking at me.

"What?" I asked in surprise.

"Do you have any problem with it? We both are the Class Monitors and .... really .... close .... friends. I assume Ishan again forgot to wear his badge right?" She said with an irritated look.

"Oka-", before I could complete it, Ishan held my hands and made me sit on my seat and said, "Miss, do you want to break the rules of the school on your first day?" looking at me.

"Don't worry about it, Ishan. I will talk to the teacher ab-", Neha started speaking but got interpreted by Ishan, "Can't you listen? I said NO, I don't want to sit with you!! Now leave from here, the teacher will be coming in a few minutes. Neha left the place angrily.

"Can you let go of my hand now?" I questioned irritatedly.

He quickly removed his hands from mine. The teacher arrived in few minutes and the class lasted for 60 minutes. It was chemistry class, my second favorite subject.

It was now the 3rd class, Botany. The teacher ordered us to open our books and read from it. I didn't had a book. I thought to ask Nidhi for the book but Ishan kept his book in the middle of the table and said, "You can use my book."

"He is honestly unpredictable - sometimes he ignores me, sometimes he helps me, such a weird person he is! Mr. Weird Malhotra", I thought. The teacher called my name and asked me to read the lesson from the book, I snapped out from my thoughts and took his book in my hands and started reading the lesson aloud.
