So High School!

Chapter Twenty Five

Aarushi

"What is happening here?" Our principal comes in.

I could see all my dreams shattering into pieces. It took me ten years to be in this position. And now within a moment everything will be gone. No. My mom won't leave me if she hears this. Why did I do this.

"Thank God mam, you came." Aadi says. What the hell? Why is he saying that.

"What do you mean?" Our principal questions.

"Your head girl here." He points to me. "She is stopping me. She is irritating Aadi Singhania. Doesn't she know I don't follow rules?" He casually says. What is wrong with this guy.

"Aarushi." She turns to me. "Well done for trying. You may leave."

"And you Aadi." She turns back to him again. "To my office now."

"That's become my daily routine, mam." He jokes and puts his hand in his pockets. "See ya, head girl." He gives me an assuring smile and leaves.

I was overwhelmed by actions. He could have gotten away with it but instead he chose to save me. And yet didn't have the slightest frustration. I don't need to overthink about situations when he is here. Because I know, he'll handle it. He always does.

I walk out of there regretting my each action. How could I be so stupid? Why did I have to agree with him. All this happened because of me. And he is in trouble all because of me. I hate myself right now. I just hope he is not suspended again. School without him sucks. He is the happiness pill. Whether I am sad or irritated, he never fails to make my mood. Although I hate boys with the bottom of my heart, I still crave his company.

Maybe I should have just said the truth. Why only he should suffer consequences when I was the one that wanted to go there.

"Stop stressing your brain. You'll get wrinkles at this age." I hear a familiar voice. I turn around with a jerk. Aadi with his chessy smirk. "Missed me?"

"Not at all." I turn back again.

"Lie all you want." He replies with that smirk still dancing on his face. Ugh. I hate this and love it at the same time.

"How did she leave you so easily?" I was clearly shocked.

"Because she knows I don't give a flying fuck about her so called lectures."

"You are unbelievable Aadi." I reply. My smile faded again when I saw Avinash. I turn to Aadi again. "Can you teach me how you punched Rohan? It was exceptional." He chuckles at my question.

"Why? Who do you wanna beat up?" He asks with his hands on his pockets and smile playing on his lips. Hot. Oh no. Aarushi. Stop checking him out. I point towards Avinash.

Aadi's Pov

She walks towards Avinash, anger clearly evident in her eyes. I follow behind her excited for the drama.

"Next time you leave like that Avinash and I'll show you how a solid slap looks like."

I love her confidence. My girl. Not yet but very soon.

"Look curse me all you want but I had my reasons." He says and looks at me. I just glare at him.

"Yeah. What a solid reason to throw everything at me and run away?"

"Aarushi _

"You better shut up Avinash." She cuts him off and leaves. Damn I am in love with her walk.

"Good job, Avinash." I say.

"All of this because you wanted to stay close to her." He groans in frustration.

"Better shut your mouth. Here's your crush's number."

"Next time you wanna spend time with her, it'll cost you more."

"I'll make her mine till then." I mumble to myself.

"Did you say something?" He asks.

"No."

Aarushi's POV (sorry for changing the povs constantly. I'll try not to do that next time.)

They kissed. I do a happy dance. They are finally together. Oh how I love reading books.

"Party hai." I hear someone scream from outside my door. Aditi.

"Abhi tak ready nhi hui? Teri sab se favourite captain Riya ka birthday hai." She exclaims with a pinch of sarcasm.

"I was thinking of skipping it." I say and take a blanket on me in case she tries to kill me.

"We're not doing that." She announces.

"You leave me alone and then walk away with Karan." I complain about remembering the last party.

"Well, you have Aadi."

"No. Why would I be with him?"

"Because you like him. Duh." She replies and I smack her.

"I DON'T LIKE HIM." I scream in her ears like my life depends on it.

We entered the party and it wasn't that crowded. What a relief. I look around when I find Aditi is already gone. Traitor. Bitch. Come to me next time, I'll show you.

I sit on a chair in the corner to avoid socializing. But when did anyone leave me alone.

"Why is a beautiful girl like you sitting alone?" Some creep comes up with the very stupid line. I ignore and turn my face to the other side.

"How dare you ignore me?" He screams into my ear. I get up with a jerk.

"Excuse me." I turn around to face him. "Step back." Before he could say something else, someone grabbed his collar. Aadi.

Shit. This is not good.

"How dare you." He speaks with so much anger that I feel intimidated.

"Aadi please. Leave him." Aadi didn't bulge. Just as he was about to punch him I stopped his hand. "Please don't. Let's not create a scene. It's my friend's birthday." I plead and he leaves that guy.

"Aadi we need to talk." I looked at him sternly and walked outside of that room as he followed behind. His eyes are still the dark version of brown. "Why did you have to do that?" I question him.

"He made you uncomfortable." He states.

"But you didn't have to do that. I would have just ignored and walked away."

"He tried misbehaving Aarushi."

"And you were making a scene. I didn't care. He can go to hell for all I care."

"You don't but I do Aarushi. I care." His speaks. Every word of him is intimidating.

"Why?" I question.

He ruins his hair in frustration and then looks at me.

"BECAUSE I FUCKING LIKE YOU." He says and I feel like my whole world is spinning around me. Why? No this can't be true. He must be joking but it doesn't look like that. "Yes Aarushi, I like you. You are the song stuck in my head. You are the book I want to read. You are the most perfect melody. You are the reason I feel jealousy. You are the one I can never ignore. You are my favourite person. The only one. You are a person I'll choose every day. You are the reason I feel exactly okay."
