A KISS IN THE RAIN [COMPLETED] ✔️

CHAPTER 2: TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Aashna's POV:

We both ate our pasta while waiting for the results, and soon the news was back on

Reporter: we have with us the VC of SPRINGFIELD HIGH. Welcome back  sir to our show!

VC: Thank you so much for inviting me

Reporter: so sir, today the results were out and i guess all the students who made in are very keen to know about the course toppers.

VC: yes yes, firstly congratulations to all those who made in and those who didn't, don't be sad, there awaits a better plan for you. And as you said i would like to share with you the course toppers:

(Various names announced for various courses. I will throw light on the ones that include our characters)

So coming up to PSYCHOLOGY, we have : the son of Prakash Oberio i.e. NEIL OBERIO who has bragged highest score. Congratulations

I was so happy. My best friend topped his course!

"Congrats bro, i am so proud of u" i said giving him a sidehug. But he didnt seem that happy.

I saw his expression and I couldn't control myself from asking "Arent you happy!?"

He looked at me, i could see all kinds of emotion i his eyes.

"Did u listen carefully?" He asked

"Yes... Neil Oberio aka you" i replied

"Yaa i know thats me but what title did they give me before" he said and oh man i realised everything

"Neil, stop thinking about it,i have seen you work hard and you can't spoil all your happiness behind your dad's name" i said hoping that i would make him feel better

"Aashna, tell me one thing!" He said and i could sense him getting sad. I held his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, making him feel that i am there for him

"Why does his name has to behind me? Just because i am an Oberio? Then i dont want that name! I am happy as Neil" he said

I cupped his face, "you are not defined by him. I have seen your struggle & i dont want you to go into that zone again, i have seen you depressed and at a stage where we are to step into our new lives, i dont want you to be depressed, and i am always here na" i said and gave him a hug and comforted him

He smiled and we continued watching.

VC: Next for POLITICS we have two toppers, One is MR. SANKET MEHTA and another is Miss AASHNA HEGDE.

Neil looked at me and I could see a joyous smile spread across his face, and then gave me a hug

"We both had the best luck ever" he said and i was soo happy!

We indeed did have the best luck ever

After all the course toppers were announced, the VC moved on to saying:

"My dear students, you guys are now going to enter into a new world for the next five years. This world is a lot different from the one we live in right now trust me, be prepared for everything students, next month you all gonna step out of your comfort zone. This batch is gonna be the best one so far! There are a lot of changes so go through them on the site, you guys will soon receive a mail that will clear more of your doubts. But right now enjoy"

We then went for cycling outside to cheer his mood up. After coming back, my Mom was home and we decided, to go see the house tomorrow that we booked. Because it was late and it had been a very long time since we had a pajama party or night stay so I convinced Neil and he finally decided to stay overnight

We had dinner and then i changed into my crop top and shorts. Later while  we watching movie in my room, Neil fell asleep. I closed the laptop and made him lie down on the bed properly and covered him with blanket

I sat next to him, watching my phone since i wasn't feeling sleepy enough. I opened the site in curiosity, i read the happenings.

Let me give you a brief of SPRINGFIELD HIGH

This is the most famous highschool ever! When the VC said the world in its own, he means that! Every time the admission opens, only that batch stays and works for the next 5 year. You may find it pretty messed up but its true and our year was lucky enough to have forms open just after our schooling got completed, trust me many wait for years to apply. I saw the courses that we can take up as optional subjects which were to be studied alongside the main subject, i was clear on mine but since the list was opening tomorrow, i had to wait

I scrolled until i saw the section of New updates! I opened it, I scrolled until i found the one that schoked me the most. It stated

"All the students selected, will have to compulsorily stay in the hostel made inside the highschool only. They can select a room with 2 people in it!"

I was shocked, what about the home we were to go see tomorrow, i went to my moms room to see if she was up. Thankfully she was! I was very worried and showed her the update

"now what about our house? You spent your savings didn't you!" I said as i felt sad and guilty!

"sweetie, i didn't book it until tomorrow, i was to finalise it for you. But i don't think the need of doing that anymore" she said and i felt me taking a sigh of relief

"oh thank god, ya you don't have to do then." I said and got up

"And why are you up? Go to sleep now miss topper!" She said in a teasing Tone

"hahaha, going!" I said as i made my way outside

"Neil slept this early?" She questioned as i reached the gate

"yaa, U know today in news they like called him the son of Prakash oberoi and that like messed him up!" I said and came a little closer to her bed

"oh poor soul, i hope he forgets about it tomorrow" she said and i decided to go back near the gate

"yeah, even i will go now! Bye goodnight" i said and gave her a flying kiss

"goodnight dear" my mom said and gave me a kiss back

I came back to my room and sat on my bed, i was still scrolling through insta, seeing stories and stuff. Then even i decided to go to sleep! Afterall tomorrow was a new day and i felt all of this still as a dream! Everything felt too good to be true by the end!
