So High School!

Chapter Twenty one

Aadi

School was exhausting today. I wasn't even in the class, because there is no fun when she isn't there. I stand outside my car ready to go home when I find my small sister playing with our dog.

"Surprise bhaiyaa." My sister says coming out of the car. She has turned 10 and yet so childish and cute.

"Why are you here?" I ask as Truffles jumps onto me.

"Aaru Didi." Anaya exclaims and runs towards her direction. I see her standing next to Rohan. Her eyes were red and she looked really sad. The moment Aarushi see's my sister her demeanor changes and she gives her a soft smile.

Aarushi bends down to Ananya's level and pulls her into a hug. Their relationship is adorable. "Didi I missed you. Why are you not coming home, nowadays?" She asks with her baby eyes. Such a drama queen.

"Aww baby, I missed you too." Aarushi pecks her cheek.

"Anaya go to the car, I'll come in few minutes." I say to anaya and she runs back to car and then I turn to aarushi. "Did he do something Aarushi?" She scoffs and starts to walk away.

"Aarushi, Why the hell are you crying?" I question. "Did anyone say something?" I ask again and finally she stops and then turns to face me.

"You are the reason, Aadi." She blankly replies.

"Me? I don't understand?"

"Ofcourse you wouldn't. All you know is to play, right?" She replies. I see her trying to control her tears and fuck! It's hurts me more. Why is she crying.

"Aarushi what are you saying?"

"Don't try to play innocent Aadi. I very well know your true intentions." Me? What did I do? I didn't even fight with her today.

"What are you trying to say?" I ask clearly confused.

"Why do you care? Haven't finished with your bet yet?"

"Bet? What are you talking about?"

"I hate you, Aadi." She says. This time it does not sound playful. What did I even do? I just stand there as she leaves. I don't need to care, but I do. It should not affect me, but it does. I should not think about her, but I do. That's the fucking reason why I choose not talk to her. And now when it's happening, it fucking hurts.

Aarushi's POV

"Aarushi, where you crying?" My mom asks as I return home.

"Yes. My hand got injured and it's painful." I smoothly lie. She immediately gets up and comes to me.

"Should I take you to the doctor?" She asks as she examines my mind.

"No mumma, it's fine. I just need some sleep." I go to my room and shut the door behind me. I don't even feel like crying. I genuinely thought he was good but at the end, all the guys are fucking same. Rightly said by my mom, they are nothing but a waste of time. I promised myself that no guy could ever hurt me but here he his.

All the moments we had was all part of his stupid bet. All the time we spent, it was just a formality. I hate myself more that I let him affect me. I still cannot forget that video.

Flashback.

"What video?" I ask Rohan and he pulls out his phone. The video showed two guys talking about something.

"I bet you 1000 bucks, you can't rizz that girl." The first one said.

"Try me." The other one which sounded like Aadi said. It was just their backs seen so it was difficult to say who actually they were.

I look up at Rohan who was smirking and over the moon.

"How can you say that is aadi?" I ask.

"Look closely."

Fuck. That is the same hoodie that aadi gave me. His messy hair and the husky voice. Even the body language matched aadi. It is Aadi.

I was pulled out from my thoughts when I got a call.

Troublemaker 😏

I ignored it but then again he started texting me.

Troublemaker 😏 - Aarushi, we need to talk.

No we don't. What is there to talk. I can forgive anything but deceiving.

Instead of sobbing in my pillow, I just go and punch the wall. Bad idea it was.

"Oww. Ouch." I whine in pain when I remember it was injured and I made it worse.

The next day when I entered the school, everything seemed awfully quite.

"Good morning, aarushi." I turn to look around and find Rohan with bruised eye.

"What happened?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Me and Aadi had a little fight and we both are suspended."

"What?!" I gasp. "Why?"

"Umm that__

"Is he okay? Did he get hurt?" I ask and then realise my words. What am I even speaking? "I need to leave. I'll talk to you later." I walk away.
