Chapter 6: Obsessed With Obsessions
I glanced at my routine sheet to check what I had in the first period. English? Ah! Personal favorite. I won't feel sleepy.
"C'mon English's this way!" Tara pulled me and we walked through the silent corridors of the school.
This place was freaking big! 10 buildings of my school would fill in here!
"Thank you for honoring us with your presence Ms. Singhania." the teacher said.
"Sorry Ms Brown. But I had taken the new student to Principal Hedge."
"Aah! I see. Another Singhania. Riya Singhania I guess?" she said.
Her pronunciation sounded like Rrr-ii-ya Sing-ae-niya.
"Yes Riya Singhania. My cousin sister." Tara said.
"Mine too." I heard Zee shouting from the back of the class.
"Mr. Singhania, I will appreciate it if you keep quiet in class and Ms. Singhania please take a seat. Riya, I would like you to introduce yourself to the rest of the class."
Ugh! I hate being new!
"Hi! I am Riya Singhania. I am from India. I am weirdly obsessed with obsessions and I love penguins."
"Thank you. Please take a seat."
I could feel stares behind me as I walked through the class. Tara had thankfully left a place for me beside her.
"So Class, this year I have planned that we will do William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet."
What. The. Actual. Fudge.
That freaking guy has written more than 3 dozen plays and exactly 154 sonnets and all she got was Romeo and Juliet? Trust me, I loved that story once upon a time but it is way tooooooooo
heartbreaking and boring.
She earned a groan from the class but continued "This is a project and you will be marked on it. You will be assigned pairs in which you have to inact it out in front of everybody."
What could make my day even worse?
Oh my Mata! Please save me!
"Tony and Sylvia."
"Troy and Gabriella."
Nice names. Matches with HSM.
"Jason and Abigail"
"Alex and Sara"
"Stephen and Claire."
"Antara and Zeeshan"
Weird. Brother- sister as Romeo-Juliet?
"That just leaves two people...." Tara whispered.
"Riya and Parker."
Was this Parker the one I was thinking about? Could this day get even worse? Ugh! Stop thinking about him Ri. He'll get hiccups.
No thank you to God for not saving me.
A crumpled paper ball appeared on my desk.
"Hey Juliet, are you ready to do some romance with your Hot Romeo?" It read, signed by Parker.
'Duh! You wish. Mr. GWDCOMT.' was my answer.
I didn't write it but he earned a glare from me. I was really irritated. I looked right and left. I saw people staring at me while the teacher conducted the class. Am I so beautiful that people should stare at me?
Then I excused myself to go to the washroom but my real intention was to loiter around.
Wait..... Why is weirdness getting into me today? I was bunking class! Riya Singhania was bunking class! KK would die of a heart attack if I told him this.
American schools are so freaking big! I love this school. Lovely!
I roamed around the floor. The common room was excellent.
Please do not judge me by what I am about to tell you. I warned you that I was weird. I tried sitting inside my locker and I fitted perfectly ! I know. I am weird.
I strolled across the corridors. Suddenly a strong fragrance hit my nose. Park Avenue, I bet. I turned around and lo! and behold! There stood Mr. GWDCOMT. I think it would be better if I called him something else. Jerk Guy.
"Where the heck were you? I-- We've been worried sick! Thought you got lost or something."
"None of your business."
"There you are Ri!" I heard Tara's voice behind me.
Tara's a life saver! I can't face that guy! He is irritating and annoying.
I narrated to Zee and Tara all the events while we sat in Biology.
I liked Biology. But studying The Reproductive System for the zillionth time sucked!
"Are you serious!" Tara reacted after listening to what I said.
"Yup."
"Kabir would have a heart attack if he heard this."
"You. Are. Fucking. Crazy." Zee said.
"And weird." Tara added.
"I know I am weird. And Zee don't swear in front of me."
