So High School!

Chapter seventeen

Aarushi's POV

I walk inside my campus ready to be burdened with lots of work. I have Aadi's hoodie with me and I don't feel like returning it back. It feels so warm. I could feel his presence. I wore his hoodie the whole day yesterday. I just hope he does not ask for it. Pucha bhi toh nhi dungi. Kya hi kar lega?

To my displeasure I dash with someone yet again. And it did not feel like aadi at all. I look up to find Rohan. Uhh. He picks my books for me. "Thanks." I give a small smile and prepare to leave. Par bande ke alag hi plans hai.

"Hey, actually I wanted to tell you something about aadi." Isne kuch bhi aadi ke liye bola hai toh maine thapad mar dena hai.

"I don't think it's important right now, I need to leave." I try to leave.

"You know Aadi speaks bad about you behind your back."

"Like what?" I turn around. He thinks I will trust him.

"He says you annoy him a lot." Rohan replies.

"I do. Anything more?"

"Yeah that you are a pick me and try to always seduce him and things I cannot even say." I look at him sternly.

"Jhooth bolna seekh ke aa tu bhai. Badme baat karenge." Jerk. Doesn't even know to lie. I know aadi isn't like that. But what if he really thinks I am irritating and whine a lot. Maybe he is just done and regretting talking to me. I need to maintain distance from him. He cannot say because he might think I will get hurt. But I don't think he would go around telling everyone? He wouldn't right? I basically ask myself.

I need to find the truth before coming to any conclusion.

Aadi's Pov

I walk towards my class but I am stopped by someone. It is Myra. Irritating myra actually. "What?"

"Look there. Aarushi and Rohan together and look at how she's smiling." She says pointing towards them. Why did she smile at him and leave. What the hell? Maine kitni baar book uthake di hai. Mujhe toh kabhi aase smile nhi kia. Because mere liye rude wala side reserved hai.

"I don't hear her smiling. Even if she is, why do you care?" I ask annoyed by her constant poking in my life and now even in Aarushi's life.

"Because she is playing with both of you. I am telling you, You need to stay away from her." I think I need to stay away from you.

"Bullshit. We are not in a relationship. Even if we were, that doesn't mean she can't talk to others. I suggest you stay away from our matters."

"You are not understanding. Aarushi is a cheater and she is such a _

"Complete that sentence myra and I'll show you why all the students are scared of me." I say to find her shut up. "One more word against aarushi and you bear the consequences." I try to leave.

"You don't like her and yet you are not ready to hear anything about her. Why?" She questions again and I turn around furious.

"Why does it matter?"

"Have you heard the rumours about you and aarushi?" She questions.

"Half of them are been spread by you, aren't they?" She stumbles back and leaves.

I don't give a fuck about what people say but aarushi does. It affects her. She cares a lot about reputation. If she knows about all this, she would probably overthink a lot but not before slapping everyone that is doing this. I try very hard to keep away the rumours for her but at one point it would reach her.

I need to maintain distance from her, it is for her good.

I walk inside the class and see Aarushi is not here. Thank God. Because it is too hard to avoid her. She is just so cute. Fuck. I need to stop thinking about her. She is just a friend or something more. No. No. She is just a friend.

"What are you thinking?" Someone asks. I look at them to find Aarushi. Shit. When did she come here?! I just take my bag and shift to other bench. She blankly stares at me, thinking about something. Before she could say something, the teacher entered. It hurts to ignore her. Her voice makes my day and I have to avoid it.

She is bound with responsibilites. I am someone that likes to live freely. We are not meant to be. Not even friends.

As soon as the class ends, aarushi approaches me again. "What's wrong aadi?" She asks with her sweet voice. Assa mat kar yaar. Pighal jaunga.

"Nothing?"

"It does not look like nothing. Did I do something?" She asks. Aree yaar. Tu kuch bhi karti hai mujhe pyaar hi aata hai.

"Why don't you understand? I don't want to talk to you." I lie. I want to just keep talking to you. But no. I can't do that. She didn't say anything. She just stares at me. She wasn't angry at all, she was hurt. It hurts me more to do that. Without replying or looking at me, she leaves the class.

Author's POV

"Our plan isn't working Rohan." Myra says to her brother. "They both are not ready to listen anything about each other."

"Its working." Rohan says. "Look." Rohan points towards a sad aarushi leaving the class. Her eyes filled with tears which gave satisfaction to the siblings.

"Aadi is only mine. I will make him mine, by hook or crook." Myra says with confidence.
