Enemies Became Friends Forever

10. First Sorry

Tuesday came very soon and we were in the class listening to our social studies teacher (Saraswathi), who was discussing about 'Bandung conference of 1955'. The class was very boring so, Preeti and I thought of playing word building.

We both were playing using the backside of social notes. The game was getting interesting but suddenly someone pulled the notes. I irritatedly saw the person who grabbed the notes and it's none other than that stupid, idiot Ashish. I glared at him but he just smirked at me and kept the notes inside his desk and continued listening to class. Wow! He didn't make an issue about this. Yah! I know the reason, Preeti is involved in this. Before I could say anything, Preeti called Ashish whispering his name.

"Return the book please, the game is getting interesting," Preeti requested him when he turned. But he just glared at her. I signalled Preeti to leave it. I know how to deal with him.

Soon social class got finished and English class started. The same biology teacher i.e., Mary teacher teaches English also. She sent group mail last night to write an essay on supplementary story 'Footprints without Feet' to know how far we understood the story. She asked everyone to submit their books. Everyone submitted except Ashish. He was still searching for the book in his bag. Mary teacher asked whether everyone submitted the books or not. Ashish stood in response and said that he wrote the essay but he lost the book.
Teacher didn't listen to his words and asked him to write again for 5 times. Hey!! Hurray!! I was dancing internally and my eyes were gleaming with happiness. He accepted the punishment and sat on his place.

I wrote a slip and threw it on him. He took it and gave a confused look furrowing his eyebrows. Then he opened it.

It read...
'All d bst!! Write d imposition well. Spend ur night with writing.... ;) :P :D'

As soon as he read that he turned his head towards me in one swift movement and started throwing daggers gritting his teeth. I raised my thumbs up with a snickering smile rising my eyebrows.

During break I gave him his book in which he wrote the essay. Yes, I took his book from his bag after saying Preeti not to request him for our book. Thank god! I managed to take his book without Preeti seeing me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed to do this.

"You'll pay for this," Ashish said gritting his teeth when I gave him the book.

"Be happy that I didn't tear the pages," I replied in a monotone rolling my eyes.

"Wait and watch," he warned pointing his finger.

"Best of luck!" I said in a sarcastic tone.

Preeti came to know about this and I got tantrums from her.

At evening after tuition we went to parking lot to take our bicycles. To my surprise both the tires of my bicycle were flattened. How can the two tires can flatten at a time? I saw my surroundings in confusion and that stupid Ashish was standing near his bicycle with his bag on his shoulders smirking at me. How dare he? So, he is the one who did this. I went towards him with rage.

"How dare you? You even know that It's my new bicycle. Why did you do this?" I shouted at him.

"Don't you know why I did that?" He asked tilting his head, raising his eyebrows and shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Arg!! How should I go to home now?" I asked to no one in particular keeping my hands on hips seeing the surroundings in confusion.
