Darshan x Pari

Chapter 3 💖

The next morning, I heard Mumma yelling at me, yet again. "Pari! Beta! You're going to be late!" She yelled, through the noise of her cooking and my alarm. 

I yawned and stirred awake. Mmph. I don't wanna go to school, I thought. Then, I looked at my clock. 6:00..alright..wait, 6:00! I was late! My van would come to pick me up at 6:50! I jumped off my bed, washed my face, combed my hair, wore my uniform, stumbled over my shoes, and rushed into the kitchen. It was 6:40. I grabbed my bag and water bottle. I ate what ever I was able too, and then grabbed my Tiffin and said bye to Mumma. I rushed outside my house to find my van, still waiting for me, thank god. I jumped inside, and found a seat next to my all time bestie, Meena. 

"You're so late today! What happened, did your Mumma scold you again or something?" She asked, with a playful laugh. 

I playfully smacked her arm. "No, she didn't scold me, for your information. I simply was too sleepy, okay?" I replied, a little annoyed. 

Soon, we reached out school, Morning Star School. Meena and I went inside, chatting as usual. Our first period today was chemistry. Ughh. Our professor, Manish Sir scolded everyone do often that everyone especially hated him. I took my seat next to Meena. "I wondered how class will be today," I told her. 

"Oh, it'll be boring as always, Pari, " she replied, and we both giggled. 

Manish Sir finally stepped inside the classroom, and we all stood up to say "Good morning Sir", in our singsong voice. He told us all to sit down and take out our chemistry textbooks. Just then, a boy entered our class. A boy I had never seen before. He had a cute hairstyle, and he wore his uniform perfectly. His eyes were chocolate brown, and his nose had an adorable parrot shape. He wore his black glasses, which he pushed up as he entered class. He seemed lost, and confused  making him look even cuter. Wait..he was the same boy.. The one from my dreams yesterday! I began blushing like an idiot. 

"Excuse me Sir? I'm a new student. My name's Darshan Raval. May I come in?" He introduced himself, politely.

Manish Sir looked at him. "Are you going to come in or what? Welcome, Mr. Darshan. Sit behind to Pari and Meena please. The only girl with the short hair in the class is Pari, " he replied. I blushed. Ugh, why did he have to sit behind us? Darshan looked around for me. Ugh, I had to look at him now. I looked at him and waved my hand. He waved back politely and came to sit behind me and Meena. 

(Later...) 

After Manish Sir's lecture, we were allowed to have free time. As usual, Meena and I started talking about the latest new at school and what not. Then, I felt someone tapping my shoulder gently. I turned around to see that it was Darshan. He had taken his glasses off now, and he was look even cuter. 

"Yes?" I asked. 

"Uhm well, may I chat with you guys? If you don't mind, that is. I don't have any friends yet, and you two seem like nice girls," he said, in his usual gentle voice. 

I whispered to Meena. "Meenu, most boys are annoying. Should we give him a chance?"

"I mean, he looks gentle. Why not?" She replied, with a shrug. 

Darshan was still waiting for our response. Oops, kinda forgot about that. 

"Yes, Darshan, you can talk with us," I stammered. 

He smiled. "Okay, so, how many siblings do you guys have?" He asked casually. 

Meena replied first. "I have a little brother whose 10 years old. He goes to this school as well,"

Then it was my turn. I mentally prepared myself. I had no idea why Darshan was in my dre yesterday, but it didn't matter anymore. "I don't have any siblings," I said. 

Darshan responded to both our statements. "It's cool to have a little brother, nice. And, I don't have any siblings either," 

(We chatted for a bit about what we liked, and Meena and I told him a little about the school too. At the end of the conversation, he had two new friends, and we had one as well!😊)
