Mixed Feelings

Please read the author's note at the end. Its important. Happy reading :)

Ishika's POV:

I walked forward taking Rohan's hand but again, Sachin called me from behind. "Ishika. You can't be doing this to me. At least listen to me once."

Angered, I stopped and turned around to give him an answer, but looking at him, I felt something inside me, again. I ignored that feeling and kept walking.

We walked silently towards our classes, none of us speaking a word. I don't even know what I was feeling at that time. To say the least, I was confused. Very confused.

We soon reached my class. I stopped and looked over to Rohan, not knowing what to speak.

He was faintly smiling at me. Finally, he broke the awkward silence "Ishu just..."

"Hey Ishika. Hey Sach... oops! Err hi Rohan." Karan greeted us walking from behind. He looked a little surprised seeing us together. He was obviously expecting Sachin with me. His eyes then glued to our interviened hands.

"Hi Karan. Hey Pooja whatsup!" I greeted both of them walking away from Rohan, and gave them a half-hug each.

"Hi. Ermm Sorry Rohan. I saw Ishika walking hand in hand with some guy so I guessed it to be Sachin." Karan clarified.

Rohan smiled at him "No problem buddy. Its ok."

"By the way, where's Sachin?" Pooja asked looking around.

My mood again changed at the mention of his name. I immediately looked down, not knowing what to answer.

Rohan answered that for me "Err. Maybe he hasn't come yet. We both came together from home."

Karan and Pooja seemed to have believed Rohan's lie. I sighed. "Let's go in guys."

"Okay then I'll leave. See you'll in the break." Rohan said taking his leave. He then turned towards me and cupped my face "Take care Ishu. And if there's any problem till then, just call me ok?"

I nodded giving him an assuring smile. He walked away from us, and I just kept staring at him going away. Some thoughts again running through my mind.

"What happened? Come on in." Pooja said dragging me inside.

Soham and Ashish were already there, having some silly pen-fight on their table. A pen flew down just near my foot making me stop in my track. Soham shouted "Oye thats my favourite gel pen yaar. Have some mercy on it."

Ashish snickered behind him "Haha this is the fourth time in a row that you lost! Just give up dude."

"No way. The game is on." Soham challenged again picking up his pen.

"Ok then, its 2 against one. Game on Ashish?" Pooja said getting a pen from her bag.

I rolled my eyes at their silly game and walked ahead already. Karan too did the same and sat besides me.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, so I removed it to see who called - Sachin. I disconnected it right away.

He again called - again disconnect.

Third time call - My finger reached out to the disconnect button but I somehow hesitated to press it now. I thought for sometime, but again cancelled it and kept my phone aside.

"Hey! You two also join the game. Let's gave 'pen-fight tournament'." An excited Ashish suggested.

But Karan answered for both of us "Nah! You guys have fun."
