Chapter 4 - Smitten!

"Wake up sleepyhead!" Avi said striking my forhead with a pencil playfully. I lifted my head off the table and looked at him startled, I groaned seeing him plonking on a chair across me.

"Go away" I said sleepily.

"What is wrong with you today?" He asked placing his elbows on the table.

"Well, I'm just trying to get some more sleep so that I don't doze off during that boring guidence lecture" I said lazily lifting my head off the table.

"Well, that lecture already began...a couple of minutes ago" he said trying to stifle a chuckle.

"WHATT" I screamed, thank god there were not a lot of people in the cafeteria at the moment. 

I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the cafeteria door without glancing at Avi even once. I rushed past the students in the corridor, eventhough they were few in number I had a hard time trying to make my way to lecture hall no.2. I glanced at the doors of the hall and finding them still opened I heaved a huge sigh of relieve. I just couldn't bear the lecturer chiding me for being late in front of a class full of staring students. 

I flinched at the thought, I tightened my grip on the shoulder strap of my backpack and started jogging towards the hall, I was almost there when I tripped and crashed into something or....someone?

"Ow" I groaned holding my wrist.

I finally looked up to find a pair of ocean deep eyes staring straight into mine. My eyes widened as I recognised the owner of those sparkling orbs - Jazeem. 

"Woah! Are you alright?" he asked in a husky voice with a smirk playing on his lips.

'Never better'. Its was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't voice it. Thank God for that, nothing could have been more embarrasing than that. He looked at me raising his eyebrows, expecting an answer.

"Er..Yes" I managed to choke out.

As soon as we entered the hall each and every student looked up. Of course, nobody would have expected to see the most popular guy of school entering with a nerd like me. 

Yeah, I was considered a nerd. Beacuse I loved reading, writing, painting and theatre. Fair enough.

I felt a group of girls sitting in the far right corner shooting me death glares, I looked down quickly. I cleared my throat to bring the teacher's attention towards a fragile being who is burning under the gaze of some envious bimbos.

He looked up from his book that he was reading, he gave us an annoyed look and motioned with his fingers for us to enter. I quickly went over to the last row and plonked on a chair beside Munnu.

"Did I just see you entering in with Jazeem or am I imagining things?" she asked with a fake confused look.

"Ah, don't ask." I said putting my head down.

                                                          oOo

I entered the cafeteria and looked around, I found Avi and Munnu deeply engrossed in a conversation. Actually Munnu was speaking and Avi was listening, typical Munnu. They were sitting quite far away from where I was standing so I couldn't hear them. Obviously with all that hustle-bustle of the cafeteria, even a police siren would have been barely audible. I looked inwards and shurgged at my own silliness, "Pointless" I muttered before turning around to get to the counter.
