So High School!

Chapter thirty three

Aarushi's Pov

Why was she looking for him? Who is she? How is she connected to Aadi?

My mind was overflowing with questions, yet I sat in the library, making no effort to find the answers. I didn't want to know. The very thought of it terrified me. It felt as if all my insecurities were resurfacing, creeping back into my mind, refusing to let me rest.

"Who are you thinking about, sweetheart?" I look up with a very well faked smile.

"You." He chuckles at my reply. He looks so fine when he laughs.

"What's wrong, Aarushi?" Aadi asks getting a little serious.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure?" He asks taking my hand in his. "Doesn't look like nothing to me."

"Yes, Aadi." I reassure him. "Let's get to studies."

"Ugh. Most annoying part." He groans in frustration. "But you make it fun."

"Such a flirt." I remark chuckling.

"You love it, don't you?" He asks raising his brows.

"Kinda."

"Stop tickling me, Aadi." I giggle as we leave the library after a hectic study session.

I mean I was the one studying and he on the other hand he kept looking at me and playing with my hair. What are they? A toy?! God knows what did he learn today.

I turned around to warn him, but in my haste, I stumbled and became entangled with his feet. Just as I was about to fall, he caught me firmly, his strong grip preventing me from hitting the ground. Instinctively, I clung to his shirt, holding on for dear life. This time, however, he did not let go. Instead, he pulled me even closer, as if he never wanted to let me go.

Getting back to my senses, I quickly pull away in embarrassment. Why do I have to be so clumsy.

"You love falling in my arms, don't you?" He asks with a mischievous smirk.

"Shut up."

"Fine. But I love it when you fall in my arms."

"How long were you waiting to say that one?"

"The moment my eyes landed on you." I just rolled my eyes on his very flirty yet stupid comment.

"No one can defeat you in flirting." I remark. He just chuckles. "I'll leave now."

"I'll drop you?"

"No. My mom is going to pick me up."

"Okay then. Bye sweetheart, take care." He says and starts to walk away. Not long when he again comes towards me. "Well, we have a party tonight and you are joining us."

"I'll try." He looks at me annoyed. "Try to understand, please." I show him my baby eyes.

"You are so dramatic."

"And you love it."

"Hell, yes I do." He chuckles.

Aadi comes forward maybe to hug but our bubble is broken by my mom's horn

"See you later, byee."

"Bye sweetheart."

"No Aarushi. Enough of your parties." My mom declares and shatters all my plans with Aadi.

Me - Hie! Sorry.. Won't be able to come today.

Aadi ❤️🤴- Shit! Koi na. Mai bhi nhi jara.

Me - plz don't do that! Why ruin your fun because me?

Aadi ❤️🤴 - Everything is FUCKING boring without you.

Me - Stop cursing!!

Aadi ❤️ 🤴 - Says you?

Me - I don't curse that much.

Aadi ❤️🤴- Sure! My cute girlfriend is very innocent.

I'm not sure why, but the title alone makes me blush. It's not just the title itself, it’s the way he proudly calls me his girlfriend that gets to me every damn time.

Damn!

Me - Go to that party, boyfriend! I'll be waiting for your text.

Aadi ❤️ 🤴- Sure sweetheart 💕

Emojies. I love it when he express with emoji. And that nickname of his. Gets me everytime. I squeal like a maniac when he calls me that.

Fuck!

Am I in love?

I don't understand. Ugh. This is difficult.

I crash on my bed but all I could think about was him, his stupid yet killer smile.

How i wish I could go there with him...

Idea!

Manipulation is the key

"Aarushi beta, what happened? Why do you look so unwell?" My mom asks as she sees me curled up on the couch in the living room.

"Just some academic stress. Nevermind."

I hate to lie but I guess the memories won't come back. Study? I'll be awake all night. I signed up for this so be it.

My mom looks at me with concern.

"Go get some fresh air." My mom suggests.

"I would rather go to a party." I say and I find her raise brows. I look at her with the most sincere face. She sighs in defeat.

"Fine but __

"Thank you so much. Love you." I cut her midway and kiss her cheek.

Should I give the news to Aadi? No no. Let me surprise him. I'll let him think that I am not going to come and then boom!

I hope this turns out well.

I inform Aditi about my plan and she cheered through the phone.

"Come at my place. We'll get ready together." She suggests.

"Sure." I reply and pack up my things.

I scroll through my phone while waiting for Aditi to complete her hairstyle. Just then something pops up in my mind.

"Did you notice the new girl?" I ask.

"I did. She looks pretty cool."

"She does."

"Anything wrong with her?"

"No."

Well. We are here. Standing right in front of the restaurant but for some reason I don't feel good.

Should I call Aadi first?

I should!

"Fuck. He is not picking up." I groan.

"So what? Just go surprise him."

Before I take a step inside, a message pops up on my phone. It's him.

Aadi ❤️ 🤴- Busy right now, can't talk.

What? No this can't be Aadi. He never does that.
