Sumedh's POV
"Well, lagta to kucch esa hi h" I said. "I'm...just a bit...maybe shy!?" She said in low voice. "Log shy sabke saath hote h...tum baaki sabke saath normal ho aur mere shy!? Esa kyu?" I asked. She didn't reply. "Look, esa nhi h k tumhe teachers se problem h because Siddharth aur Punyakar k saath you are fine" I said. "Ok...jo hua so hua...abse friends?" I asked taking my hand to her for a handshake. She smiled and nodded. We did the handshake. During our conversation she didn't look in my eyes, not even once!! But never mind, atleast we're "friends"!

"Vese Punyakar bta raha tha k tum dance bohot accha kar leti ho?" I asked. "Unhone abhi dekha kaha h? Shayad unki expectations se kam ho" She said biting her lower lip. "I don't think so. Because Locking-Popping itself difficult h...I'm sure tum accha hi krti hogi" I said. She smiled. "So are you ready for tomorrow's written test?" I asked. She smiled and nodded.

The practice session finished and we left for home.

When we arrived, we had dinner and then sat together to watch tv. I started the conversation.

"Guys, you know what? Bandana ne mujhse baat ki aaj! She was looking comfortable when talking!" I said. They looked at each other and then turned towards me. "Just one question: conversation k doran usne ek baar bhi 'yaar' shabd ka prayog kiya?" Punyakar asked. "Nhi usne 'yaar' shabd ka prayog nhi kiya" I said. "Bas fir yehi ruk ja" Siddharth said. I was confused. "Let me explain. Bandana agar 10 sentences bole, to usme 8 sentences me woh yaar bolti h. Hamse baat krte waqt bolegi "Sir yaar ye ese nhi wese h"...so what I mean is jab tak woh tujhe yaar nhi kehti tab tak woh tere saath comfortable nhi h!" Punyakar explained. I cocked my eyebrow.

"He's right buddy" Siddharth said. "But don't worry...dheere dheere khulke baat kreghi tujhse, I'm sure" He said. I nodded, dissapointingly.

I went in my room and prepared the test for the day after.

Devaki's POV
The next day...
We went to Sumedh Sir's class and did our test. It wasn't really easy. We went to Siddharth Sir's class. Nobody was there except of him, we came early. We sat and started talking about the test. "Woh diagram me yeh wale muscle ka naam kya tha?" I asked pointing the back of my lower leg. "Gastrocnemius" Bandana replied. "What? Mene to Lattissimus Dorsi likha" I said. She chuckled. "Urrgh! Itni mehnat se spelling yaad kiye, woh bhi galat!! Pta nhi kis gadhe ne paper set kiya tha" I said. "Umm, kal raat mene Sumedh ki help thi paper set krne me" Siddharth Sir said. I widened my eyes and felt embarassed. Bandana and Diksha burst into a laughter.

"Just kidding. Paper to pehle se hi set hua tha...hamne khali print kiya" He said. I took a sigh of relief.

Students started coming in and the lesson started.

"Ok so today we'll study Carbohydrates" Sir said. I wrote 'Carbohydrates' as the title, but I was not interested in the lesson so I started decorating the title.

"Devaki...mene jo abhi abhi kaha use repeat kroghi please?" Siddharth Sir asked. I shook my head and then quickly nodded. "They are sugars" Diksha whispered. "They are sugars" I said. "What are sugars?" He asked. I was silent and was expecting a suggestion. "Wahi jiske baare me padh rhe h" Diksha said. I said the same. "What!?" Sir said confusingly. Ok, I was supposed to say Carbohydrates not the repeat what Diksha said. "C-c-carbs" I said. He nodded.

Siddharth's POV
Devaki wasn't listening to me. Friendship, fun and flirting are on one side but when its lesson time, I want my students to listen to me! And especially Devaki!

"Ek kaam kro, yaha saamne aake betho" I said pointing the seat next to my bench. She nodded and came there. Now she was paying attention.

The lesson passed quickly. At the end I went to Devaki. "Aage se PLEASE dhyaan rakhna...tumhe daantna accha nhi lagta" I said in a bit low voice. "Sorry" She said in a sweet voice. I smiled and she left.

Sumedh's POV
The lessons started and I gave back the tests that I checked. They went pretty well. Everyone got good marks. Bandana got 92%, and this was the second time she was doing well in Anatomy. This meant her Anatomy is damn good.

During the lesson she was smiling and looking at me, which she never did it before. Thank God...atleast our 'friendship' is making her comfortable. The lesson finished.

Two weeks passed. We got used to our timetables and daily routine. Now we didn't feel awkward when we entered the classroom. Even students were good.

It was a Tuesday so I had a lesson with class 10th students. I went in the class and the lesson started.

At the end of the lesson students were leaving. Suddenly I heard noises from outside the class. I went to check and saw that two students were fighting and other sudents were encouraging them by shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!". I went to them. "Stop it!! What are you doing guys? This is a school not a wrestling ring!!" I yelled on the top of my voice. They were still trying to fight. "STOP! Tomorrow afternoon after school, I want to see your parents!! Got that?" I yelled. "But Sir...iski galti thi!" Ranveer said. "Shut up! Galti kisi ki bhi ho mujhe tumhare parents se milna h...Ranveer aur Taran got that ya samjhau?" I said. They nodded and went.

I went in the staff room and started marking the notebooks.
