So High School!

Chapter Twelve

Aarushi

I watch Aadi going back sadly. I couldn't help but chuckle. Mr. Popular got rejected and now he is whinning about it. Cute. Okay not cute.

As the song changes to a romantic one, girls come and approach Aadi for a dance. I sit on the chair watching Aadi rejecting one after another. Abhi toh mere pass aaya tha dance ke liye. And now he doesn't want to go. This guy is wierd.

I go and stand beside him. "Why are you not going with them? You wanted to dance right?" I whispered.

"They don't radiate energy like you." He replies and goes to the other side. Aww. Wait no. He must have said this to many other girls. I am no one special. I need to stop simping over his words.

I go out of the restaurant to wander around when I was pushed down by someone. "Ouch." I look up to find Myra with her friends.

"This is what you get for disrespecting me." She says.

Agar mai uth pati toh ek kaan ke neeche laga ke deti. Badi aayi disrespect wali.

"You are right actually, no one can disrespect you." I could see the pride on her face. "Because you are huge disrespect to earth." I complete my sentence and she stormed off with her friends. Stupid. Hurting me physically was all she got.

Wearing the dress with slit was definitely a bad idea. I try to get up but fail. I am not going to leave Myra.

"Aarushi." Aadi rushes towards me. Ye banda har jagah kyu hota hai yaar. "What happened?" He comes and kneels near me.

"Teri pagal aashiq ne kia ye." At first he looked surprised.

"I have many lovers! Which one are you talking about?" He questions with his stupid pride.

"Self obsession is gonna kill you one day."

"Luckily, it hasn't yet." He jokes. "I'll help you." He offers his hand.

"I don't need it." I reply trying to get up on my own.

"I know you don't but let me?" He asks so sincerely. Haye Mai pigal gayi. Impressed by his choice of words, I take his hand and get up. "So you want to go back in there or...?"

"Nah. I am done for today."

"Okay then. Let's go."

"You are also coming?" I ask.

"Ofcourse. Who is gonna drop you then?"

"Oh no. I will manage. It's your party, you should enjoy." 

"Even I am done here. And it was me who asked your mom. So it's my responsibility."

"Okay." I smile.

He opens the car door for me as he signals his driver to start the car. Out of curiosity I ask him. "Do you know how to drive car?"

"I do. Remember Sunday? I dropped you." He says.

"Oh yes." I nod remembering the day. Kitni bhulakad hu yaar mai.

Flashback

He opens the door for me and we sit inside. I was in my phone half the way. But then I noticed his veins. Omg! He looks so hot while driving. Aarushi! Shut up. Stop romanticizing everything.

But wait. That one hand turn. Hayye. Bhai ye mujhe itna hot kyu lag rha hai.

I have to stop simping!!

Present

I smile thinking about that day. Not today. No I won't even look at him. Yes. Aarushi open your phone. Ye pehle insaan hai jiski wajah se mai phone pe focus nhi kar pa rhi.

I take a sneak peak. Hayye. Usne sleeves roll up ki hai. And damn! His veins. Shut up Aarushi. What are you doing? Ab toh wo car chala bhi nhi rha hai

While I was having an inner battle with myself, I hear him chuckle. I look at him puzzled. "Dekhle. Man bhar ke dekhle."

Isko kese pata chala?!

"Chii. Who even wants to look at you." I comment and I could see him raise his eyebrows at me.

"Sure. As you say."

Okay. Awkward silence.

"Ice cream?" He says.

"No I don't __

"I will be back." He cuts me and gets out of the car. Then comes running back again. "Which flavour?" I laugh at his antics.

"Choco chips." I reply.

"Bada badmash baccha hai." Driver says and I hmm in response. "Dil ka accha hai."

Wo toh hai.

"Dono sath mai bahut ache lagte ho."

"Are uncle, it's nothing like that."

"Apko pata nhi hai lekin ye nakchada sirf aapki sunta hai." Driver uncle says.

I find myself blushing. Before I could say something, Mr. popular comes with the ice cream.

"Here."

"Thanks." I smile and he smiles back.

As we reach my house, he immediately gets out and opens the door for me. Kyu kar rha hai ye itna mere liye?

"Thanks for today. It was fun." I honestly say.

"So, let's be friends?" He asks and offers his hand. I look at his hand for a while and nod.

"Friends." I smile.

"Abhi friends bol hi Diya hai toh insta I'd bhi de de?" He asks like a baby.

"Bade tez ho rhe ho." I take his phone and search my I'd.

"Thanks."

"Okay then, I'll go?"

"Um yes." He replies.

"See you then."

"See you."

"Bye. And I still hate you." I say and go inside. I turn back to watch him smiling like a maniac.
