.Stuck Together༊˚

AVNI'S POV :

After some time, I was done solving the numericals. Ishan checked them, and they all were correct.

"So, I was right?", I said looking at him while he continued to look at my notebook.

"About you being good at physics or me being good at teaching?" he asked, looking into my eyes.

"Of course, me being good at physics", I said with a chuckle.

He chuckled as well. Then he started teaching me another chapter. We studied for good two hours. I was feeling hungry as I hadn't had a proper lunch earlier during the break. I started packing all of my supplies quickly.

Ishan said, offering me a cookie, "Hungry?"

I replied, finishing packing the bag, "No, thanks."

I got up from the chair and went towards the door. I pulled the door to open but it didn't. I pushed it, it didn't work either. I started banging on the door.

"Are you planning to break the door?" Ishan said, coming towards me.

"I think the door is locked from outside", I said, panicking.

Ishan came near the door and tried to open it but failed. "How is this possible? Who locked it from outside?"

"How would I know? Maybe a teacher or the janitor?" I said, stressing.

"Mr. Gupta must have informed them already, it must be someone else", Ishan said banging on the door.

"Is there anyone outside?" I shouted to seek help.

"Let me call the janitor", Ishan said, dialing the janitor's phone number.

"The number isn't working. It's saying the number isn't reachable", Ishan said after trying to call the janitor.

"What should we do now?" I asked feeling anxious.

"The sports teacher comes here around 4:30-5:00 pm for basketball practice with the players", Ishan said, going back to his place to sit.

"After 1.5-2 hours? We have to wait for 2 hours?" I asked in frustration.

"I guess, so", Ishan said scrolling his phone.

I sighed and sat in fornt of him, I texted my parents that I will back after two hours as I'm having extra classes. I lied. I was feeling so hungry, so I rested my head on the table looking downwards. My stomach growled and I was embarrassed.

Ishan chuckled and placed the cookie he had offered me earlier on the table, next to me. I looked up from my place, glanced at him, and then at the cookie. Seeing him busy on his phone, I grabbed the cookie and started eating it.

Ishan smiled and said, "Slow down, I won't take it back."

I replied, avoiding an eye contact with him, "Sorry, I couldn't resist."

He chuckled.

The room was engulfed in an awkward silence after that. He was busy with his phone and my head was resting on my crossed arms, which were on the table, facing down.

I looked up and asked, "You will stay for basketball practice?"

He answered, his full attention now on me, "No, I'll leave when you do."

"You don't practice with others?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I'm already perfect at playing, so I don't need any practice", he said with a smirk on his face.

"Show-off," I murmured with an irritated expression.

"Did you say something?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

I shook my head from side to side, signaling no.

He got busy with his phone again.

I put my head back on my crossed arm and closed my eyes, as I was feeling tired. Soon, I drifted off to sleep.
