So High School!

Chapter two

Aarushi

Library

It's 30 minutes now and that jerk has still not arrived. I diverted my attention to the book I am reading and lost track of time.

I looked up to find him? Sleeping. This man can sleep everywhere. "Good morning sir. Wake up." I screamed.

"Done with the book?" He replied sleepily.

"You could have just told me."

"How could I? You were reading that with so much interest that you didn't realise a handsome guy sitting next to you." I just rolled my eyes hearing his statement.

"Handsome nhi handpump hai ye banda." I whispered.

"What did you say?" He questioned. Ha puch toh aase rha hai jaise isne suna hi nhi.

"Exactly what you heard." I gave him sly smile.

Silence.

"Okay so let's start with Linear equations."

"Why don't we sleep?" He excitedly suggested.

"No."

"Ugh. Fine." He groaned and removed a notebook from his bag. Atleast he has a notebook.

"So here the value for x comes -2 and for y comes 6 by the substitution method. You will have to substitute value of equation 1 in 2." I continued explaning and found him staring at my face. Now what is on my face?

"Oh hello." I waved my hand in front of his face and he gained back his senses. "Where did you have a trip?"

"What?" He questioned clueless. Stupid.

"Nothing. Eyes on notebook." I replied chuckling.

"Finally." He closed his books and looked at me. "You torture me more than any teacher ever could."

"Whatever. I am leaving now." I took my bag and got up. I will have to walk home as there is no one to pick me up. I sighed and made my way out.

"Hey, Shortie wait." Aadi screamed and I looked back. What the hell is shortie.

"Don't you dare call me that, again."

"Oh I will shortie." He said and ran.

"You" I ran behind him.

"Catch me if you can."

A challenge? To me.

I ran. A lot and now I can't anymore but I still watch him running around. Why is he so fit. I fall to ground and catch my head with hands acting like am about to faint. Just then I saw him running towards me.

"Hey, you fine?" He asked as he kept his hand on my shoulder.

"Haa caught you." I grabbed his hand and got up.

"You are such a drama queen." He commented laughing.

"Tell me something I don't know." I joined him laughing.

"Jokes apart, how are you going home?" He asked concerned. Really? Concern?

"Why do you care?"

"Can't afford losing a tutor like you." He sarcastically answers gaining a laugh from me.

"I will probably walk." I replied. Walking is tiring atleast when you have studied so much.

"My driver is here. I will drop you." He said looking into his phone.

Phone mai hi pada rhe tu.

"It's fine I will manage." I replied and started walking out. Connected my phone and played 'so high school' by taylor Swift.

"Think about it again. Many creeps roam around at this time." His car stopped in front of me and now I could think of every scenario possible. I hate you. Damnit. "Coming right?" I immediately got into car not arguing futher. I could feel him smirk.

Smile toh asse kar rha hai jaise pata nhi crush ne propose kar dia ho. Stupid.

As we reached my house, I got out, thanked the driver and slammed the door on that asshole's face.

I entered my school and some people came to me. Like last year I didn't even exist for them and now these people are hear buttering me.

The best thing about time - it changes!

I entered my classroom to find Aadi arguing with our Science teacher.

"Why didn't you bring your textbook?" The teacher sternly asked.

"And why does that concern you?" Aadi replied leaving me shocked. How does this guy has so many guts.

"Oh. Aarushi dear, why don't you take him to a visit to the principal's." Teacher said and having no option left I walked out of my class with Aadi.

"Now I will get to sit in AC for atleast an hour." Aadi replied streching his arms.

"Don't you have some shame?" I questioned shocked on his actions.

"Nah. Not even a little." He said casually. Like bro what? "Hey let's got to the roof top?"

"We are supposed to go the principal and moreover no one is allowed there."

"And you think I care?"

"What if we get caught?"

"We will see. Now come it's so fun." He replied dragging me.

"No. I have a reputation and I need to maintain it." I answered taking my hand away from him.

"Oh come on. You get only one life, enjoy that." Aadi said as he entered the terrace and I did the unbelievable, followed him.

I was scared as hell but it felt right. I had the fear of getting caught but then again I was curious. I know what we are doing is wrong but I think it's okay sometimes.

"I am impressed." He commented as I entered inside.

"Oh shut up."

I was just wondering around and looking when I heard footsteps. "Aadi." I held onto his shoulder. "Someone is coming. What will we do now?" I said panicking.

"Shush." He said as he took me behind a big rock. "Chill. We won't get caught." He said in an assuring tone.

I peeked out to find our PE master smoking? Like literally?

After a while I could hear the footsteps going. I peeked out to find sir already gone. I came out and took a sigh. I could hear the sir latching the door.

"No way." I run towards the door. "It's not opening. Sir locked it." I fell on the ground. I look at him to find him just chilling. It's all my fault. Why did I even agree to this. I looked at him angrily.

"Now what?"
