Kavya's POV:
"Class was about to end, and instead of enjoying class, I am here standing punished with a stupid beside me. What luck?" I exclaimed with the intention to taunt that duffer.
"If that's what you think, then my dear, the feeling is mutual", he said in a bored tone.
"Have you made up your mind to ruin my entire school life all alone?" I asked angrily.
"What if I ask you the same question?"
"Can you please tell me what I have done that you are so annoyed with me?"
"Just I want to", he said with a smirk.
"But you act completely differently with others. Why is it only me?"
"Because you are not everyone, you are different, my…" he was about to say further, but stopped himself.
What does he mean by I am different.
Sidd's POV:
I went a bit away from her. I could see mam talking to her. Maybe it's something serious, but I can't move my sight from Kavya. She is really different. After they were done talking, I could see her walking towards me. What a powerful walk. I fell for everything she does, even the day she accidentally spilt the coffee on me made me fall harder for her. Maybe I like her!!!
My eyes were locked on her, but suddenly I snapped myself back to reality.
Control Sidd control. You were about to express what you have been suppressing for so long. Every effort would be wasted.
Sorry, Kavya, I never meant to hurt you, but you are the only one who attracts my heart.
I am afraid. I am afraid of what will happen if I fall for you. I don't want to love anyone.
If I do so, I will always end up hurting you. It is really hard to suppress my feelings, mostly when you are around. I try to annoy you so that you can be distant from me, but when I do so, I fall for your sulking face. I love the way you curse me in your head. Honestly, I want to be with you, but my conditions are so repulsive.
"Ma'am has given us a stay back to clean the classroom as punishment", she said lifelessly.
Maybe she is sad.
"Seriously! Standing out of the class wasn't enough. Now I have to tolerate you for one hour extra," I teased.
Honestly, I love spending time with her, although she dislikes me, but I enjoy being with her; she never asks about me. No personal questions, as if she is never interested in me.
I could see her anger grow.
"Like I want to stay with you till eternity", she said angrily.
I wish.
I could sense how furious she was at me right now. Well, good for me.
Kavya's POV:
Aghhhhh!!!
Why does all this happen to me only? If I work at my best speed, I will still be late for the library.
I was lost in thought while holding the mop in my hand, standing at the door of the classroom. That idiot was moving the desk so that I could mop easily.
I think I should inform Aunt Maya that I will be a bit late today, by the time Sidd arranges the desk.
I quickly grabbed my phone from the last pocket of my bag and dialled the number.
[hello]
"Aunt, today I'll be late. There is a stay back at school, and I don't have my cycle with me."
[It's ok if you take leave today]
"No, I'll be there as soon as possible. I just hope to get transport quickly"
[As you wish. Take care]
"Same to you"
The call ended.
"Who was on the call?" Sidd asked with one eyebrow lifted.
"What does it matter to you?"
"So arrogant", he sulked
Like I care what you say.
"Was it your boyfriend?" he asked with a serious face.
What does he have to do with it?
Do I really look like a girl who has boyfriends in every corner of the street? I hate being judged or interrogated.
"Answer me", he said in an authoritative tone.
"No", that's all I could say.
I was feeling a bit nervous and scared of what he might be thinking.
"Good", I heard him whisper.
Huhh. What does that mean?
Whatever!
Cleaning is better with music. I put on my headphones and played the song.
To be honest, I put on my headphones just to avoid more fights with that Monkey. I have no more energy to waste on silly issues.
My hands begin working on it on their own. Mopping felt like using a brush for painting.
I was doing the task when someone pulled my headphones.
"What the hell?" I screamed with anger.
"Are you deaf or what? I have been calling you for so damn long," Sidd said with anger in his tone.
"What do you want?" I asked, annoyed.
"Are you planning to clean the floor for the whole day. See it begin to shine now."
I looked at the floor and then the time.
What? It's almost 2:45. I have been wiping the floor for so long.
"Sorry. I lost in music", I showed an apologetic smile on my face.
The boy sighed.
"If you have done your task, you can go. I think I have to stay for long", I said
Moving towards the cupboard.
I opened it, but it was already clean. I am sure that it wasn't clean before.
That means….
I turned to look at Sidd, but he was not there. Fine, at least work is done. I will thank him later.
I moved out of the class towards the exit from the parking area.
When I saw a boy standing there, leaning on his bike.
Rishi!
