Falling For The Weirdo

Chapter 4

"Any moment now", Arjun muttered to himself while he waited outside the school gate. As the clock strikes half past four, the basketball coaching comes to an end. 

Arjun runs away from the gate and waits for the kids to come. As the kids begin to pour out of the school gates Arjun sees Khushi coming out. He starts to walk towards from the gate in Khushi's direction. 

Khushi turns back to wave to someone and sees Arjun walking behind him. What's he still doing here? Should I say hi? Might as well, nothing to lose. 

"Hey, Fart Face!", She shouts out. Real smooth Khushi, reeeaaal smooth, she thinks to herself.

Arjun looked at her, pretending he didn't see her at first. He ran to catch up with her and said, "Hey... Can't keep away from me can you?", He said raising his eyebrows.

Khushi scoffs, "As if, I have my basketball classes every day, so the question is, why are you still at school?"

"I had to submit this................ this project of mine which I left at home, so...... that's why I came."

"Oh.... so you didn't come to see anyone, right?", Khushi asks in an insinuating tone.

"Now, why would you say that? Did you want me to come to meet you?", Arjun said smirking but feeling nervous inside.

She had a superior look on her face as she said, "No......I just saw you standing near the school gate for 30 minutes, so I just assumed you were waiting for someone, that's all."

Busted! Arjun stopped in his tracks. How did she know?

"If you are wondering how I saw you I want to let you know that I took a break at 4:00 because I wasn't feeling all that well and as I was sitting at the foyer, I saw you. Are you coming?" 

Does she think I am creepy? Arjun searched desperately looking for something that wouldn't make him look like a creepy stalker. Found it!

"So, you were just looking at me for 30 minutes?", Arjun asked grinning.

"What?! No! No! I was reading my book and whenever I looked up you were still there so.... yeah. I wasn't staring at you!", Khushi replied sounding flustered. Arjun noticed that her cheeks were tinged red. 

"So, here's a thought, how about we go to d'crepes since I am starving and I would like some company", Arjun asked not looking at her because there were a million things running in his at the moment. Was it too obvious? She's going to say no. Oh GOOOODDD!!! What have I done!!

"What, like right now? I am all sweaty and dirty. I probably won't be allowed inside."

"We'll take of that. So, is that a yes?"

"Yeah sure, if you're paying. I am not carrying money"

"Oh that's okay", Arjun said grinning. He sneaked a glance at Khushi and she too was smiling although it looked like she was trying hard not too.

Unconsciously they shuffled a bit closer to each other and began bicker again, with a small smile on their faces.
