Khushi's Point Of View

"Class over students"

I heard the best word of my oh so boring Class teacher/ Homeroom teacher. Me and my best friend payal had a broad smile when this words hit us. Well! After an hour of his boring class, the 12th grade student I'm, had survived, which deserves a great appreciation.

As we all stood up to sing a 'Thank You sir', I arched my gaze a little back and looked at a charming boy standing in the last desk. Seeing his smile, my heart jumped with joy and my heartbeat quicken. God I should control!!

The charming boy, the so cute, no no so handsome tall boy standing between two other his best friends is "Arnav Singh Raizada" - The boy of my heart, My Crush!!! Khushi Gupta's first Crush and Love I guess!!

I turn my gaze back to my best friend Payal Khurana who was pushing the books inside her bag. Oh! We are suppose to leave now for home. I quickly stuffed the books inside my bag and took out the water bottle and sipped while watching boys first going out from the classroom.  

Well, my gaze is only at my Raizada and I guess none knows I am staring, yeah! I am good at hiding things which I do. Giving an imaginary pat on my shoulders, I move outside with Payal who is mumbling something to me, must be about Aakash Mehta - Her Boyfriend and cousin brother of my crush Arnav.

I bid bye to Payal and get inside my school bus while she In hers. We are from different areas and so we can't share same bus, not even Raizada as his home is not in my area too!! Well, many calls me as "chatter box" and few are really waiting to talk with me in my bus and I joined them.

Khushi's Place

"I know I have to work hard" I said looking at the 'Maths book' in front of me with my class work notes.

Jeez!! Tomorrow is maths exam and I'm not even prepared a little. All day I wasted with talking with Payal and at times staring at Arnav and other side only completing easy chapters. There are 5 tough chapters I have to complete and I have no mood to study too.

Not knowing what to do, I just dashed out of my room and runs upstairs to the terrace. it's past 8 pm now and the sky is adorned with stars and a full moon, giving its source of light, making the sky more appealing.

Fresh chilly air, beautiful sky and a peaceful environment, what is more for a person who has nothing to do stays for. The beautiful terrace in my home in Lucknow, the place which always boost up my spirit and pump super speed energy in my body whenever I have no mood for doing something.

 I sit down in one of the chair and sets my gaze at the beautiful sky upwards. My thoughts wandering. Why Arnav is so special that I couldn't control my heartbeat whenever he is around, why my mind mess up when he doesn't comes to school, why I can't help but steal glances at him and why did I ever fell in love with him?

I was never the girl who had thoughts of love but that moment when I saw him on my first day of school, everything changed. It's like that one moment changed my whole life, that I changed myself. I was imperfect with too many flaws but I wanted to change for him and I did. Or I guess so.

I don't know whether he cares but I won't let go of what I felt. I've this feelings for him for four years. Never said, never spoke yet it's there. I don't know what may the future bring but at this moment I savor this beautiful feeling. 

After few minutes of spending my time there, I stood up and walked downstairs with my body full of energy, thoughts fresh and mind clear.

"Hey maths, beware..Khushi Gupta is coming to attack you" I thought as I walked down. A star crashed down from the sky.

"Hey" I heard a voice calling out for me . I looked around and found none. I'm sitting in my school in physics lab all alone!! I guess I am hallucinating or may be dreaming?

"Hey, I am calling you" again I heard the voice, I looked around and found none. I can't hallucinating twice ... but I can?

"Hey Khushi Gupta look upside too" I heard and rise my eyes up and what I saw startled me, choked me with shock and fear too.

"Ahhh!!! Ghost!!" I shouted as I saw my 'Maths book' standing..sorry Flying in front of me with teeth as sharp as like Pirana, just like in the Piranha 3D movie!!

Fear caught my body badly!! Already maths exam was enough to scare me that whole Maths book came to scare me!! I saw the book grinning at me, I have to do something quick, really quick.

"Come forward, Gupta" the book said to me.

With clearly fear written over my face, I eyed at the flying giant in front of me and then at the entrance, well I have to do something. My mind is racing to find a way out of this mess.

"Come forward" I heard again.

I took a deep breath and take a small step forward. I can see the grin of the book grows wider as I took a step forward, but within a nick of time, I run towards the entrance making the smile wash off from the book's face.

I look back at the book as I ran out and in that I didn't notice a person coming inside. Result is BANG!!! My speed is uncontrollable and I guess the person to didn't expect, we both fell on the floor, I at the top and the boy...boy at the bottom notice!!

Shocked as I was, I with fearful eyes, looked up. I was amazed, shocked and even joy at some side to see the person, my heart beat quicken as I stare down in his deep Chocolate brown orbs. Arnav Singh Raizada is beneath me, looking into my eyes deeply and I just couldn't digest the fact that now literally I'm in Arnav's arms.

I blinked many times to see whether it is true or a dream. But clear view of Arnav is in front of me. The fear of Maths book is long gone as I stared back at his eyes. I blink my eyes this time and when I open, my eyes widen as I find the Maths book's face replaced my sweet Raizada's face and I started to scream and tries to push away the hands of Arnav with face of Maths book!!! But it's grip around me is so tight that I can't stand up nor push it. I shouted and scream as loud as I could and blinked as much as I could, but that was maths book and not Arnav here.

"Ouch!" I rubbed my back as I found myself at the floor near my bed. I look around frantically and relaxed when I saw it's my room.

"Thank god that it's just a dream" I mumbled to myself as I get up. I close my eyes and recalled the face of my dear Arnav, his smiling face flashed in front of me and a smile played in my lips. But suddenly his face change back into Maths book and scared I was I open my eyes and dashed out to the washroom.

"It is all because of you maths, I hate you yet I studied everything last night for exam and you..you are haunting me with Arnav" Khushi whined like a child.

Khushi's Classroom

I enter inside my classroom with my eyes fixed on the ground. Like everyday I didn't had my eyes up and had a glance of Raizada. This day my eyes never went to the direction of Arnav as the Maths text book haunted me in the form of my crush Arnav Singh Raizada.
