Too Good To Be True.

Chapter Eleven.

"No mom, I don't like him! I had to say yes because he looked so happy and excited! It is so bad to crush a person's excitement that too in his birthday!"
"Okay I agree, but why would a guy ask you out when he barely knows you?"
"He did not ask me out for a date, its just a friendly cup of coffee"
"It all starts with just a cup of coffee, my dear" said Sasha's mother smiling.
"Okay fine! I wont go, done?"
"Oh no no, okay I'm sorry I was just joking! Anyway, tell me what are you going to wear?"
"Jeans and Kurta! Like I always do."
Nodding her head left to right in disappoinment like all mothers do, Sasha's mother said, "You are not going to teach students! You are going for a friendly cup of coffee." Purposely stressing over "friendly cup of coffee" teasing Sasha.
"MOM!"
"Haha, okay let me get something for you."

Cafe Night was just 10mins away from Sasha's house which gave her enough time to get ready. At around 5:30 pm, Sasha was all set to go. She looked beautiful in her indian attire. Her long black hair looked even more beautiful and her earrings dangling gracefully.
She looked perfect in her favourite blue dress.
All the way to the Cafe, Sasha was teaching herself what to do and what not do. Just before entering the Cafe, she took a deep breath like she always does and told herself, 'This is just a cup of coffee, and Vivek is just a friend'.
Just as she entered, she saw Vivek...with a few other people.
Confused, Sasha walked towards the table and soon realized that the other people were the other teachers of the school. Vivek soon noticed Sasha and waved his hand asking her to join in.
On the table of seven, six chairs were occupied and the seventh chair was kept free just besides Vivek. As she sat, Vivek leaned a bit closer to Sasha and spoke almost like whispering, "You might be wondering about how all of them are here, right?"
"Yeah." said Sasha.
"Well, after asking you, I thought about this twice. If it was just the two if us to come then, it could have been a bit awkward.. moreover, this would also help you to get more comfortable at school..I hope you are getting me.. I thought it would be nice to introduce you to everyone so we could all be friends..You are getting me right?
Sasha smiled and said, "Yes I am."
He smiled too and said to everyone, "Okay so let me introduce everyone! This is the new english teacher at our school, Miss.Sasha Roy and this is Priya, she teaches biology to 7th and 8th standard."
Sasha shook hands with Priya.
"This is Deepak, he teaches Hindi to 9th and 10th standard."
Sasha shook hands with Deepak.
"This is Rajeev, he teaches Chemistry to the 9th and EVS for 5th"
She shook hands with Rajeev.
"And this is our cool dude, you might have not seen him yet cause he teaches sports, he is always playing" at this everyone laughed and Sasha extended her hand smiling and said, "Good for you Mr...?"
He laughed too and said, "I'm John"
Sasha's heart skipped a beat as she heard this name. Shaking hands with John, she thought to herself, 'Calm down, there are so many people with this name, you can not hate each one of them'

And she smiled again. The rest of the evening went on beautifully.
          
         This time too luck seemed to be on Sasha's side. But for how long will it be?
