CH:-1 "The morning madness"

Here's Chapter 1:

*Chapter 1: The Morning Madness*

Kiara Sharma woke up to her mom's dreaded words:

"Utho, beta! School nahi jaana hai!" (Wake up, child! You have school!)

I groggily opened my eyes, only to find my mom hovering over me, holding a steaming cup of chai.

"Nahin, Mummy! Five more minutes!" (No, Mom! Five more minutes!)

Her mom chuckled. "Five minutes? Tu toh already late ho gayi!" (You're already late!)

I sprang out of bed, almost tripping over my cat, Muffin.

Rhea Arora's voice echoed through the phone. "Ki! Wake up! We have math homework!"

I rubbed my sleepy eyes. "Rhea, main toh abhi uthi!" (Rhea, I just woke up!)

Rhea laughed. "Bas, get ready! Meet me at the gate!" (Just get ready! Meet me at the gate!)

I scrambled to get dressed, My hair looking like a bird's nest.

As I rushed downstairs, my mom handed me a paratha and a kiss.

"Khao, beta! Aur dhyan rakhna!" (Eat, child! And take care!)

I grinned, stuffing the paratha into my bag.

Morning madness had begun!

I rushed to meet Rhea at the school gate.

Rhea eyed my hair. "Ki, what happened? You look like you stuck your finger in a socket!"

I laughed. "Morning madness, yaar! Mummy didn't give me time to brush!"

Then we went to thier class

Our teacher, Mrs. Kumar, began the math lesson.

I scribbled notes, trying to make sense of equations.

Rhea passed me a note:

"Meet me at the canteen. Emergency gossip!"

My eyes widened.

What's the gossip?

I rushed to meet Rhea at the canteen.

Rhea grasped my arm, her eyes sparkling. "Guess what? Naman Mehta is back from London!"

I raised an eyebrow. "So?"

Rhea leaned in. "He's changed, Ki! He's hotter than ever!"

I rolled my eyes. "Rhea, focus! What about math homework?"

Rhea winked. "Homework can wait. Naman's comeback is priority!"

I walked down the school hallway, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a charming smile blocked my path.

"Naman," I said, trying to hide my annoyance.

"Kiara, you look lovely today," Naman said, his eyes roaming.

I rolled my eyes. "Save the flattery, Naman."

His persistence grated on me.

Rhea appeared, saving me from his charm offensive.

"Hey, Ki! Let's grab lunch," she said.

I smiled, grateful. "Perfect timing."

As we walked away, Naman called out, "Kiara, wait!"

I ignored him, quickening my pace.

Rhea raised an eyebrow. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just Naman being...Naman," I replied.

Rhea chuckled. "You're not buying what he's selling, huh?"

I shook my head. "Nope."

We settled into our favorite lunch spot, gossiping about school.
