My Encounters With The Prettiest Eyes

5. The Prelude To New Beginnings

The Prelude To New Beginnings

The Month Of October Marks My Golden Days Every Year

Saturday,7th October 2023

The weekend, combined with the afternoon class, meant I wouldn't get a chance to visit the library. Studying at home until 1:30 was tough. I was done with KTG, but still had 4 pages left. As I always say, I've been a bit lucky. Maa's rava kachori was filling enough to last from breakfast to lunch, so I decided to go to the library, assuming I wouldn't feel hungry until evening.

Ramesh wasn't going to attend the lecture. It was probably going to be the last lecture on electrochemistry, as the topic was likely to end soon.

Our scheduled class was in Room 9, where juniors were having lunch and discussing their doubts. In the library, Mia mentioned that her Instagram account had been hacked. Despite there being only four students, including me, the library had never been a place conducive to studying. I got up and went back to our classroom but forgot to bring the AC remote, so I had to leave the class again to retrieve it.

On my way back, I stopped at the door of Classroom 10, where our classes were usually held, and, out of curiosity, opened it slightly to see if anyone was inside. Through the small gap between the wall and the door, I saw Naira. I was glad I was curious. Upon opening the door fully, I found Arjun and Sanjana J as well.

"Huh..?..have you been sitting in room no. 9 all this time??." Naira asked .

"If only I had been a bit more curious earlier, I might have had more time," my sixth sense taunted me.

"Yeah, if I'd known Naira was here, I would have come here earlier," I thought to myself and quickly responded, "Yes..."

"Ha....." I could not even complete my words and I was interrupted.

Before I could finish, I was interrupted.

"Aye Tuh-nish, will we have two separate math exams for boards?" Sanjana J asked. I always got serious goosebumps whenever Sanjana J called me 'Tuh-nish,' similar to when others occasionally called me 'Tuh-nish' instead of my 'Tanish'

"Nahi ..", I replied to Sanjana.

"Ek hi hoga na??..".

"Yes yes" I responded

"Mera bag rakh dega kya please??", squinting her eyes, Naira requested me to keep her bag in classroom 9.

"Yaar I wish I could hug you tightly and keep you in my arms forever.' I kept on saying that in my mind.

'Sure.", I agreed.

"Third bench pe rakhna ha." smiling, Naira instructed.

"Well I am sitting there.", I teased her.

" Classroom number 9 mein ham third bench pe bethte hai.", Naira proudly stated

"Sure. I had actually saved the bench for you.", I relieved her.

"Aur CS ke liye we have two separate papers right?." Sanjana asked another question.

"I had asked ma'am about it and she told me that two separate papers will be held.", I replied to Sanjana.

"But in the timetable..."

"..ha..there's only one CS paper listed.", i interrupted her back remembering Ramesh had asked the same question a few days back.
