Her Fantasy

Another Day at Stalwarts

Once again I had to leave early for school because my dad wanted to drop me at the bus-stop on the way to his meeting. He was all like "Aarya, it is better to be an hour early than to be one minute late."
I stood there, time-to-time checking my watch. There was one boy from another school at the same stop. It had been more than 2 months; we stood there every morning without speaking a single word. Through my side vision I could see him looking at me at times. That's the reason, I preferred to come late.
"Should I go and talk to him?" I thought "Maybe we can be friends."
But again mind had something else to say, "Why should you talk? Don't be a girl who talks to boys at first"
OK!
After sometime he got into his school bus. The boys of last seat welcomed him whoop which could be heard outside. They must be those wannabe cool kids.
After that, my school bus which clearly had "STALWARTS ACADEMY" written on it stopped, and I got in.
❤❤❤
As soon as I entered my class I met Tripti, my best friend.
"Ned Stark died in yesterday's episode" she cried out so loud that I had to press my palms against my ears.
"Get used to it, there's more to come" I said. Studying in grade 10, we were not supposed to watch Game of Thrones but who cares, right? While I had already completed season 6, she was starting with season 1.
"Aarya, Tripti and Maria, you three have been called in the staff room" one of the classmate informed. Oh Holy Goodness! Why an invitation from teachers at early morning?
"Thank you girls, because of you two even I am in trouble" Maria said as rudely as ever. So this is about our water fight yesterday. Now it made sense.
Three of us walked into the staff room where surprisingly only Miss. Jane was there.
"Good morning, girls" without waiting for the reply she continued "What happened after the last bell yesterday?"
"They both started pouring water on me from their water bottle" Maria was quick to reply.
What a liar! It was not both of us, it was just me. Tripti stood with me though.
"Ma'am, she insulted me before I did that. When I fussed about homework she said that I was a useless piece of shit and I was wasting my parents' money." I tried not to raise my voice.
"I didn't use that language. I just said they should focus on their academics" she opened her filthy mouth once again.
"What a great liar!" Tripti spoke this time.
"When we are treated like princesses at home, who are you to remind us about our parents' money?"Oops, I shouldn't have said that in front of Miss. Jane but too late to realize that.
"What's wrong with you girls?" Miss. Jane seemed to be angry. "Maria you are too quick with your words and Aarya you are no less. Pouring water on your mate, what a brat! This time I am leaving you with a warning, next time you'll be taken to principal's office" with a firm tone she warned us.
We were asked to leave after writing an apology letter as if that would solve the issue.
❤❤❤
After that confront, I've been staying quiet in the class. You think I've improved? Actually I am just trying to figure out how to handle the wicked Maria though everyone in the school thinks of her as an angel full of moral values.
"Aarya, when was Nelson Mandela born?" Tripti asked in a low voice during history class.
"Maybe after 9 months when his parents made love"
"Just imagine what if I write that and submit the copy?"she said with one of her mischievous grin.
"Well, you are surely gonna get famous among teachers" I shrugged.
"Only if Yash notices me" she blushed.
Let me explain. Yash is the apple of teacher's eye, drooling subject of girls and the most handsome nerd of our school. He is the son of Mr. Sharma, Head of Science Department. And my best friend has a huge crush on him though he never talks to her. He actually talks only to few people.
"You know what, you should be the topper next time to get his attention" I said with a teasing tone.
"He would hate me for that" Tripti said as if she will really become the next topper.
As much as I know my best friend, she is already imagining Yash hating her for taking his position and that hatred turning into head-to-toe love. Deciding to let her live her fantasy world, I went back to the book.
