Song : Yeh Ladka Hai Allah from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

"Alisha, Aarav get up. It's already 7. Your bus arrives at 7:30. You'll be late again." Mom yelled.
Alisha, you need to get your ass out if bed. You can't be late for school cause you need to make a stop at NickNack for good food.
"Aarav! Get your ass out of bed!" I yelled at my brother sleeping on the upper bunk of our two tier bed.
"Okay. I'm up!"
"What's for breakfast?" I asked my mother while brushing my teeth.
"Aloor Porotha amaar Aloor jonno." She said in Bengali.
(Aloo Porotha/Paratha is basically mashed potatoes filled into wheat dough and flattens in circular shapes.)
"It was bad enough that Sam and Aaru were calling me Aloo. Not you too." I protested. "But thanks for the good food."
"You're taking that for tiffin too." Mom said.
(Tiffin time is basically what the Westerners call lunch. The difference is just in the name and time duration along with bad food in the cafeteria/canteen in our part of the world.)
"Pack for Naina in a different box. Or else she won't let me eat in peace."
"You girls amaze me." She said as I was heading to the bathroom.
"I know." I replied.

"Thank God we took Humanities, or else we would have turned up as bitchy as those Science wala people. They're just irritating me. " Naina said.
"You realise that our brothers have takem up Science, right? And our parents were pretty mad about us selecting Humanities."
"That's Indian parents. They love telling us what to do." She replied.
"According to our fellow chachis and buas humanities should be for girls because they need to be a home maker some day." I said.
"And Sameer is doctor material, Aarav is engineer material."
"Home Science first period, Psycho the next and then we get to go down to the canteen and drink cold coffee." I said.
"No way. We finish the Aloo Ke Parathe first." Naina said.
"CBSE is killing me. And then we have this Home Science teacher. Bloody Ms.Yasmin."
"Did you bring the file?"
"I had to write a thousand recipes in it and if she cancels it I swear to god, I'll bring the subject dropout letter tomorrow."
"Chillax Lilith." Naina said laughing.
She called me Lilith sometimes because of my obsession with Lucifer and Tom Hotstuff Ellis and because I turned into a raging monster sometimes.
"Alisha! Did you watch last night's episode of Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke?" Sanaya, a good friend of mine asked.
Don't judge me. I watch hindi soap operas because of the actors who are extremely hot and cute.
