Sumedh's pov
I crossed my arms and looked at him angrily. He rubbed his eyes, and then looked at me with one open eye while yawning.


"Yaar, tu thoda pyaar se nhi jaga sakta kya ?" He asked in sleepy voice. I didn't say anything and angrily showed him five fingers. He stared at me confusingly. He continued while stretching his arms, "Ab ye kya hai ? Subha subha puzzle ? Please Sumedh, reh kha mujh par thoda."

"5 minutes and 5th day." I said and stopped.

He slowly stood up from the ground. I was looking at him seriously. Then, he stared at me scarily for complete 5 seconds, scratched his head, smiled and asked, "Matlab ?"

I rolled my eyes and irritatedly said, "Agar 5 mins mein class nhi pahucha na to, aaj lagatar 5th day late hoga. Phir tera pichwada hoga aur warden ki laath."




He widened his eyes, when he understood, took the towel from the chair and ran towards the bathroom to take shower.

It was our college rule that, if hostel students reached late for the class for continuously five days. Then, they had to spend another five days in hostel mess, while washing dishes.

I folded the bedsheet of my bed and cleaned my study table. Then, I walked toward Rohit's bed, made his bed and cleaned his study table too.

3 minutes were passed. I took out my shoes from the shoe rack and wore them. I checked the first period in the time table which was glued on the notice board in front of the study table.

I took a pen and kept that in my pocket, and  took the five-in-one notebook and left for the class.

After 5 minutes, I reached in front of my class room and peeped inside the room. I noticed that teacher was not there.

I looked around and realized that sir entered in the washroom. I walked toward the washroom, checked around before entering inside.

I kept the notebook aside and stood in front of the mirror. I took few drops of water on my palm and pushed my hair back. I noticed through the mirror that sir was inside the toilet.

I took the notebook, looked at sir's close door, walked toward the door and locked it from outside.

I casually walked out of the washroom, entered in the class and sat on the second last bench. I kept the notebook on the table, in front of me. But, my eyes were fixed at the door.

A girl came in front of my vision. And stood in front of my table.



"Hi ! Sumedh." She said sweetly.


I looked at her with narrow eyebrows. She was holding an open notebook near her chest and then, she kept the notebook in front of me with a pen on it. I lowered my gaze and looked at the notebook.



"I got stuck in this question, please help me." She requested.

"Try yourself. You will understand more." I said while pushing the notebook toward her.

"Don't be so rude, Sumedh. You always score well. Can't you help others in studies too, ya phir tumhe dar lagta hai ki kahi baaki log tumse aage na nikal jaaye ?" She asked teasingly.

Irritatedly, I looked at her and thought, 'Girls and their selfish thinking.'




I held the pen and started solving the equation. She looked at the solution carefully. After that, she turned her head to me.


"Tum humesha peeche baith te ho, to phir humesha ache marks kaise score karte ho ?" She asked. Immediately, I stopped writing and looked at her with narrow eyebrows. "No, I mean. I heard that last benchers padhte nhi hai. Islea pucha."

I again looked at the notebook and continued writing. I said in low voice while keeping down the pen, "Because, I don't ask silly questions."



She narrowed her eyebrows, took the notebook and left from there. Rohit came and stopped outside of the class. He peeped inside the room and then entered inside and sat beside me.



"Are waah, waise to ye teacher kabhi late nhi hota,aaj kaise ho gya ?" He asked shockingly.

"Sorry students, I am late. Actually someone locked me in the bathroom." Sir informed. Rohit looked at me and started grinning. "Lets start with the attendance."

"Thanks bhai, aaj bacha liya tune." Rohit whispered.

"No bro, I saved myself," I whispered while looking at the sir, "Jo bartan tu dhota, usmein khana to hume hi khana parta na." He chuckled loudly after listening and started grinning.

"Mr. Rohit... phalke," Sir yelled. Rohit controlled his smile and stood up from the seat with a jerk. " Bahut hasi aa rhi hai ? joke chal rha hai yaha par koi ? Main koi joke suna rha hu ? Joker hu main ?"

"No sir, vo Sumedh..." Rohit tried to say.

"Sumedh to padh kr iss saal bhi top kar jayega, tumhara kya hoga ?" Sir interrupted angrily. "Come and sit on the first bench."



Rohit angrily looked at me, when I  smirked . He took his bag and sat on the first bench.

After 45 min, sir left from there when class ended. Rohit came to me.



"Yaar bhook lgi hai, canteen chalte hai." He said while keeping his hand on his stomach.

"Nhi ! mera maan nhi hai." I replied.

"Yaar main maar jayungga, nhi khaya to. Please chal na." He begged.



I looked at him and rolled my eyes. He joined his hands to beg. I stood up, took my notebook and walked out from the class with him. We noticed that another teacher was coming. So, we turned back and ran from the other side.

We walked towards the canteen. But, I stopped at the entrance, when I noticed that a girl was standing on my way.

I looked at her from top to bottom and noticed that she was dressed up in black suit. I noticed her face, and mesmerized in her beauty. Her milky white skin complexion helped her facial features to stimulate. Facial features were perfect and her long hair was making her more beautiful which was coming to her waist.

I looked into her eyes. Her eyes were innocent, but sad and wet. My gaze shifted to her hands and realized that she was holding a glass of juice. She seemed scared and hands were trembling. I noticed that she looked at Rohit and then looked at me. She lowered her lashes, looked at the juice for once and then threw the glass of juice on me.
