HER CRUSH. HIS CONFESSION

~chapter5~

BHUMI'S POV :

I was getting ready for school when my sister called me to braid her hair. After braiding my hair I did hers. After a while we both left for our school, we both are in different schools. So she goes in van and I go with my bicycle,

After reaching the school, I parked my bicycle and while going to the class, I was hoping that I would not get late. I was praying this when my eyes went on Pranjal who was parking his bicycle on the bicycle stand. I slowed my pace so he could reach me. I was pretending as if I hadn't seen him, and hoping that he would call me from behind, but as usual he didn't call me and went ahead of me, ignoring my presence.

My jaw dropped and I drowned in the self-embarrassment. I made a pout and looked at him from the back, and now I will go to the class before him- I challenged myself.

I fastened my pace and tried to go ahead of him, but his long foot was making it difficult for me, he is walking in his normal speed while I was jogging behind him,

As he was about to go to class I called him from behind and he stopped and upped his one eyebrow, I showed him my hand to make him wait. He stayed there till I reached him. I reached him and he looked down at him and nodded at me, I gave him a smile and went to class. Placing my bag on the seat, I looked at him, as he was still standing outside the door and looking at me with amusement.

"What are you doing there, Pranjal?" I asked that out loud, and everyone started looking at Pranjal, while one of his male friends came to him and said "buddyyyyy!!" he hugged him and Pranjal, cringed out and said "stay away from me, Rishab"

They are like brothers, but Pranjal didn't show any affection the way he did. But deep down I know he also considers him as a brother. And more likely, Rishab is the only one to whom I tie rakhi, he is like my brother and he also protect me from the everyone who bullies me, but now I have learned that I have to speak for myself, so he stay away from my matters, Not completely,

Pranjal looked at me with confusion and shook his head, while I was trying to control my laugh. I did cheat and stopped at his door, but we all know, everything is fair in love and war. And this is war with my love,

He came to me while Rishab followed him, as he reached for me and put his bag beside me and said "why did you stop me?" He asked,

"Ummm.." I was about to say something but Rishab interrupted and said " heyyy, I have tea" my shine got the sparkle when I heard that he has tea. Ignoring Pranjal I looked at Rishab and said "baito baito or batao kya gossip hai?" I patted on the bench and told him to sit on it, with a jump and Pranjal shook his head, and sat beside me,

[sit-sit and tell me what is the gossip]

"So we all know what kind of girl Sakshi is?" He asked,

"Yes yes what about her" I said and Pranjal nodded,

"He broke up with that guy in the commerce section and now she needs a boyfriend" He said and laughed out loud. Everyone in the class start seeing me while Pranjal closed my mouth with hands,

"Firse?" I said while laughing out loud,

[again?]

Rishab gave me high-five while Pranjal was looking both of us with straight face as if this gossip doesn't mean anything to him, "hnhn firse" Rishab said while laughing,

[yes-yes again]

"And I have another thing to share," Rishab said but Pranjal shook his head and said "You should go on your seat"

"Shh.." he hushed Pranjal and ignored him completely,

"Vedant, didn't come today, did he?" Rishab said and we both look around the class to make sure, did he came or not,
