Student of The Year Fanfiction

||Chapter Fourty-One||

Abhimanyu Singh🔱

" Abhi chal yaar time ho gaya! ( translation: Abhi lets go dude it's time!)" Sudo yells groggily at me. I pull my blazer over my plain white shirt and lock the door to my dorm. I pace my steps, reaching the auditorium just after Sudo. I would sit with Jeet, but Rohan is sitting next to him, so I falter and sit down in the middle of the auditorium. I see Rohan's father sitting with his mother up in the very first row and I'm pleased to see that he isn't very pleased. I don't know if I've done the righ thing, but it's some what satisfying that Mr Nanda is so distraught. " Students of Saint Teresa's, we're here to acknowledge the winner of the Student of the Year competition, 2012 . Can Mr Rohan Nanda please grace the stage!" The Dean booms. Cheers erupt from the room and I watch as all the promises I made to Sudo shatter completely. I didn't win, I broke his promise " Student of the Year competition Ki yeh trophy har student chatha hain. Main kissi Ki insult nahi karna chatha, par main yeh trophy nahi accept kar sakta hoon. ( Every student at this college wants to win this prestigious trophy. I dot wanna insult anyone, but I can't accept this trophy.)" Rohan says, gravely. What? I hear from around the room. I look over at Shanaya to find she's as equally confused as I am. " But Rohan what happened? " The Dean says, concerned. " Meri khud Ki vajhe hain. ( I have my own personal reason) I'm sorry sir" he says walking off the stage. Clap clap clap. I turn around to see Sudo clapping and taking a swig of alcohol from his blazer. " Well done Dean well done!" He yells.  " Sudo! What kind of behaviour is this! Are you drunk?" The Dean retorts. " This was bound to happen. Everyone listen- our Dean is so miserable so he plays with our lives for entertainment with this stupid competition!" Sudo booms. " Why are you saying this? Is it because you didn't win? Look at yourself Sudo, what were the chances?" The Dean mocks. " Yeah yeah what were the chances. Prom Pe partner lekar aao( Take a partner to prom) . Dance karo, trophy jeeto, dance karo, trophy jeeto ( Dance and win the trophy, dance and win the trophy). But who cares that this pappu can't dance saala! And who cares that hum jaise log Ko partners nahi milte ( and who cares that people like us don't get partners) In the triathlon, make guys and girls race together. You've destroyed years of friendship in two weeks!!! WE ALL HATE EACH OTHER!!" Sudo yells, his voice sending shivers up my spine. " I salute you for this. I salute you Dean Yoginder Vashist!" Sudo taunts, in mock salutation. He pulls his blazer off and throws it down, right in front of the Dean's feet. " Student of The Year my ass!" He yells before walking off. I get up and grab his arm and Rohan gets up to do the same. " Rohan don't fucking touch me!" He says, his eye filled with tears of anger. " You too Abhi. " he adds, leaving me and Rohan staring awkwardly at each other. 

Rohan Nanda✌🏾️

 I storm out of the auditorium because I can't handle everything that's going on right now I just need to breathe. I'm pulling my earphones out from the pocket when I hear someone call my name. It's Shanaya. A chill goes down my back. " I'm really proud of you Rohan" her voice falters. " But, you let it go. You worked so hard to get the trophy-" she says before I cut her off. " I worked hard to beat Abhi, not to win the trophy" I begin, before curiously asking, " Do you love him?"

Shanaya Singhania❤️

 " Do you love him?" Rohan says curiously. His words ring in my head. His words hit me hard, because now I know it's true. I love Abhi.  Seeing my confusion he quickly says " Nevermind I don't wanna know" .  The guilt rushes through me. " I'm really sorry Rohan I -" I say before he cuts me off again. " Don't be Shanaya. Galthi hum dono Ki hain ( It's both of our faults). Itne saal saath guzaare ki tumne aadat ko pyaar sumajh liya, aur mene pyaar ko sirf ek  aadat ( We've spent so many years together that you took habit as love, and I took love as a habit. This was bound to happen)" he says,his voice solemn. I've never seen Rohan like this, so upset, so down. " So what happens now?" I say foolishly. " Outside this school there's a huge world were you don't have to win trophies to reach your dreams. It's just me and my guitar" he says, avoiding my eyes. I take a deep breath, " We'll stay in touch?" I say hopefully.  His voice cracks ," No" . I can't lose him, not now. I put my arms around him one last time. I remember the last time we hugged, like this, for comfort, when we both upset because of our respective parents. It seems like I'll never experience this again.  Rohan pulls away first, looks as though he's going to hug me again, but settles for tapping my cheek, the way he used to as a kid. Then he turns on his heel and walks away.

" Rohan!" I say, running after him. His eyes are tinted with red. I catch up to him as enters his dorm, and I shut the door behind me. Technically, I just broke a school rule- I'm not supposed to be in a male dormitory, but right now I don't give a fuck. " Rohan what's wro-" I begin, but thats before I see him. He was crying. Rohan never cries. I walk over to his bed, take his face in my hands and press my forehead to his. " Hey, whatever's wrong, you can tell me" I say softly, wiping the tears that falls down his nose.  " Why did they have to leave me huh? Abhi, Shanaya, Ma" he chokes on the word Ma. "I've never felt so alone..." He says, his voice croaky.  " You've always got me, don't forget that okay" I whisper. He looks at me his eyes filled with emotions. He smiles faintly, before placing a sweet kiss on my lips. I wrap my legs around his waist, closing my eyes, my hands finding his hair on their own. His hands fiddle with my messy braid and I hear the hair tie snap. I should have broken away to fix my hair, but right now I couldn't care less.  When Rohan's fingers tangle into my hair and my arms  tighten around his neck-  it's then that I realise how long we've been here. I pull away, a little out of breath.  " Can you stay here tonight?" He says, voice croaky. " I mean if you're okay with it. I just need a little company" he mutters. It throw my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him. " Of course it's okay you idiot" I say, laughing. I pull  my blazer off, revealing  an oversized  Slytherin shirt.Rohan looks up at my shirts and says " Mind if I slither in?".  I whack his arm " Thats so lame Rohan. Chee" I giggle.  He grins at me and I feel myself drift away. Rohan lifts up the covers and I enter the bed, burying Rohan's head in my chest. If I could see what we looked like, I knew it would look like a Ying and Yang.  Soon the room fills with his snores and mine join them.
