Falling For The Weirdo

Chapter 2

'Nice name', was Aarush's first thought.

Kiara was still sitting on the bench when she suddenly got up and ran towards him smiling. Aarush shuffled aside with shock but Kiara didn't care, she moved past him and jumped on two people who hugged her back with an equal force.

"I missed you guys so much...", she said in a longing voice.

'Well, we enjoyed our time without you for as long as we could but it definitely didn't last for long", said the boy ruffling her hair and messing her ponytail.

Aarush pulled away from the reunion and walked in the class searching for a seat. He took a seat near the window, and Khushi sat beside him. For this, he was thankful, because he thought that she would want to sit with her old friends.

The teacher entered the class and ushered everyone to take their seats.

"Today we have a new student. Aarush, would you like to introduce yourself?", the teacher started.

"No, thank you", Aarush replied. Not because he was rude but simply because he didn't know what could he possibly say. The teacher had already said his name and he had no idea what his fellow classmates wanted to know about him.

The teacher smiled. "Shy, I see".

"Yeah, right", Kiara said snorting a little.

"Now let's start with our first chapter in physics this year, sound. Now, you may have studied it at a basic level in lower class but .........", and slowly the teacher began to teach the wonders of physics and apparently it was too much for the first day after the long summer holidays for most of the class slowly started to doze off.

As the time slowly progressed towards the lunch everyone's head was overflowing with knowledge, many of the facts which won't be used in their daily life but yet had to be studied for the sake of it and to pass the final examinations.

While having lunch Khushi gave Aarush an introduction to the school and also the students. Kiara had two best friends and they were inseparable. Their names were Arjun and Avantika, and they were twins.

"Kiara either hangs out with those two", Khushi said nodding towards the three friends who were now laughing there heads off at something amusing, allowing herself to gaze a little longer at Arjun "or she has her face buried in a book, or she is sucking some guy's face off."

Not a very nice image to have while having lunch, Arjun thought. Just then Arjun walked towards their bench and pointed towards Khushi's pizza and asked, "Can I have a slice?"

"No. My parents hardly ever give me any junk food and when I do get it I want to make the most of it. Also, which idiot would share pizza?", she asked giving him a quizzical look and continued to eat her lunch. At this, Arjun snatched a slice of pizza and ran away. Khushi hurled some abusive words and ran after him.

Aarush stared at them. They were running around like a cat and mouse, and both of them ran out of the classroom.

"Ooh", a voice behind him said. He turned around and saw Kiara behind him with a bemused look. "Stuck in a love triangle I suppose. I wouldn't think about liking Khushi too much if I were you. She seems to have a thing for him and he likes her too, although none of the idiots would accept their feelings for each other"

"What!", Aarush replied and turned towards Kiara. "I don't like her!!  I don't even know her well enough to like her. I just met her in the morning, when she agreed to help me find my way, unlike some other people who find lost kids amusing."

"Oh... You are still on that", Kiara said. "Well... I thought it might be funny and it was. On the bright side, you made a new friend on your first day."

She was impossible. He rolled his eyes on concentrated on the food. Trying to ignore her presence. Then two girls came to him and introduced themselves.

"Hi Aarush, my name is Twisha and this is my friend Samaira"

Kiara rolled her eyes at the sound of their voices. She found them to be pretentious wannabes who were like moths and rushed towards any luminous object. Just because the new guy looked good they would try to flirt with him. Aarush gave them a polite smile and turned his attention back to Kiara who seemed to get more and more pissed of by their presence.

"Why don't guys go and flirt someone else, I am talking to him right now, in case you didn't notice.", Kiara snapped at them.

"Thank you?", Aarush said uncertainly, "But they were just introducing themselves. I can take care of myself."

"I don't doubt that, but you are new and I am doing you a favour", Kiara replied giving the girls a wary look.

"And I think that you are being rude", Aarush said looking at Kiara.

Kiara averted her gaze from the fakies and looked at him. She put on a poker face and simply said, "Enjoy".

She walked away.
