Those Silly Days

Chapter 40

I scourge through library when my phone vibrates. It's Myria asking of my whereabouts. I quickly inform her that I'm in library working on something.

I pick up one of the Economics book and flip through some chapters.

"Hey ! " I look up from my book to see Tanisha standing there.

"Hey ! " I say, with a smile.

"Why do you have that shitty book in your hand ? That one is useless. Try this !" She says , handing another Economics book to me.

"You sure ? " I ask because the book that I held was referred by a faculty.

"Yes ! Totally ! The faculties recommend that book but I have read both and in my opinion, this one the best."

"Thanks ! I didn't know you were so well versed with books. "

She chuckles and boasts ," I didn't top the subject just like that !" She winks. I was never even aware of the fact that she was this good in Economics.

"By the way, why do need this book ? We are done with this ,aren't we ?" She queried.

I hesitate to tell her. I just go on with a lie about wanting to learn a chapter from the book. Knowing that, she suggests me another book for that chapter. She talk on the subject for sometime and she ends up teaching me the whole chapter. I can't deny that she's good. She's great ! No doubt. I like the way she taught me the chapter. It is in that moment , I decide to tell Tanisha the truth and ask her for help. Yash said all I need a good tutor and dedication .

"So , you want me to help with Economics and we have get it done in a week ? "

"Yes , I need 40 to pass and retest cannot be rescheduled to a later day. So, it's a week ! Will you help me out ? "  I ask , hoping that she answers in affirmative.

"Sure ! " She says with a smile ," but we need study some serious hours to cover up the whole syllabus. You ready for that ? "

"Yes ! As ready as I can be ! Thank you ! " I say and hug her. She chuckles and we make a plan for the whole week.

Soon , I text Yash about it ,unable to contain my excitement. The day isn't going that bad !

As soon as I enter the room , Myria asks ," What are you doing all day in the library ?"

"What does a person do in library ,Myria ?" I answer, rolling my eyes and dodging her question.

"Well, some people make out , some go there to do some stalking on there crushes, some for time pass and some go there to study. Now , what are you doing there ?"

"I was studying , Myria. The scholarship is coming. Have to work my arse to get that. "

"Yes! They are in few weeks ! So, what did Dean want?" She asks.

"You have never ending questions ,do you ?" I say , chuckling. I pick up some clothes and walk towards washroom to freshen up.

"He wanted to inform me about the scholarship. " I answer and walk in ,smiling at my staged answer. I should tell Myria about it but something tells me not to. I sigh and push everything at the back of my mind.

After my dinner , I get back to Economics and work my way through the chapters I know, circling the doubts I have.

I am halfway through the chapter , when my phone pings. Looking at the screen, I smile. It's Yash asking me about my day. He's getting back to his own self. We talk about our days and i am about to leave the chat when he asks me to come downstairs and look out of the window.

I do as asked and i am surprised. He stands there, leaning against a red Porsche,waving at me. I walk outside.

"You are here ! " I say.

"Well, you were stuffed into boring rooms for so long that I thought, I would just entertain you ,gorgeous!" He winks at me. I hit him on his forearm but I am sure he felt nothing through his leather jacket.

"You were out racing? " I ask looking at his attire. He stands there ,wearing a light blue top with his black leather jacket and some black jeans. His hair are slicked back with some gel.

"Yes ! Just got done with it and thought to add some spark in your  life." He laughs. I roll my eyes.

"C'mon, get in the car so I can add some spark ! " He says.

"I'm not going anywhere dressed like this ! " I say , looking at my disheveled state. I am in some shitty old white shorts and huge oversized t shirt that is either of Sam or Manav. My hair are pulled up in a messy bun which I'm sure doesn't look any good.

"You look fine. C'mon!" He says, tugging my arm.

"Yash... " I warn him. He rolls his eyes at me.

"You look fine ,gorgeous! Believe me ! Okay ?" He says. I sigh and walk to the other side of the car.

"Where are we going ?" I ask ,once he starts the car.

"Somewhere good !" He winks at me.

"Nothing is as good as chocolate in the world. " I sigh ,pleased with delicacy. He laughed, his laughter ringing in the almost empty place. We are at this small place located on the outskirts of the city. The place is simple and pretty but the best thing is food. We had some brownies , a waffle and now , some hot chocolate. Too much chocolate but it was too good to resist.

"I won't be sleeping the whole night now ! Too much sugar!" I said devouring more of the hot chocolate.

"I don't think that was my intention ! Or was it?" He said , rubbing his day old stubble before breaking into a laugh.

"It might be same for me too ! Let's do something if we aren't getting any sleep. Shall we ? " He said winking.

Next, we know we were driving around the city doing some crazy shit. We raced with a random guy and the police saw that and started chasing us. We drove them around but a Porsche isn't very easy to hide even when you are running away. So, we hid in one of the resell garage for police to disappear and then we disappear without being traced.

"What if they catch us ?" I ask as we wait for them to leave the area, our eyes on the police jeep.

"We get caught and we get out. I know a way !" He winks.

And , we wait for jeep to go away. An hour later , it's still there. I think the policeman has suspicion that we might be around. The silence around us comforting and so is the warmth in the car. I blink to keep my eyes open but it's hard.  I let my eyes rest for a moment and the moment seems a little too long.
