Part 7: Search

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Mallik." Rahul smirked oblivious to what had happened just a few hours ago.

Armaan and Shilpa sat as far from each other as they could, and ate silently.

"Uh, you guys?" Muskaan looked between the two.

"Come on, you two, just give up your playful fighting." Anjali spoke shaking her head.

They were all ignored, and Shilpa just got up to sit at another table with a couple of girls from her English and French class.

"What happened?" Atul asked concerned.

"Don't think too much, we don't want you to sprain your brain, now do we?" Armaan replied darkly before getting up and joining the table where the basketball team members sat.

"What's his problem?" Anjali made a face at Armaan's retreating back.

"At least he said something. What's her problem?" Muskaan jerked her head in Shilpa's direction.

"Something happened after we left." Atul stated simply.

"Yeah, I think so too. Shilpa came late to class, and now that I think about it she ignored me the whole time, too." Rahul spoke his eyes widening at the realization.

"So did, Armaan." Anjali replied worriedly.

"You know what guys," Muskaan said, "This was a lot of fun. The whole recording them saying yes, and bothering them, and all, but I think we should really call it off. I don't want them to get married if they're going to act like this."

"We can't help that now," Rahul turned his head to study Armaan and Shilpa, "The damage is done."

"What makes you so sure?" Anjali replied, "You could be mistaken. I'll go and delete the recording in front of them. I really don't think doing that was a good idea anymore."

"Look carefully, Anjali" Atul spoke "They're not even looking in each other's directions. They always do that. No matter how serious their fights are, or how annoyed one of them is."

Muskaan nodded thinking, and saw that's Atul's observation was true.

"How do we call it quits, though? They're still pretty mad."

"After school?" Anjali asked.

Everyone nodded, and they all finished the rest of their lunch in silence.

ooooooo

Armaan and Shilpa were sitting inside the empty principal's office, side by side. The principal entered surprised by the amount of tension in the air.

"Ms. Malhotra. Mr. Mallik. Would you like to explain to me what you two were doing in the courtyard?"

The principal was greeted with cold silence, which stunned him for a second before making him a tiny bit angry.

"I've asked you both a question."

No reply.

"Very well, then. Detention in my office for the next two weeks after school."

The principal was greeted by looks of utter shock and disbelief.

"But sir'" Armaan protested only to be interrupted.

"Three weeks."

"Sir! That's far too'" Shilpa spoke but was cut off too.

"Four weeks. Wow! You guys must really enjoy each other's company." The principal spoke faking surprise and smiled wickedly at the teenagers in front of him as he was greeted with glares.

ooooooo

"Where are they?" Anjali asked Muskaan. Anjali, Muskaan, and Rahul had been standing in the parking lot for the past 20 minutes. They shared the last class together, and were released earlier than everyone else. Atul had left as soon as he was let out, because he had remembered something important regarding his plants that he had to do.

"How would I know?" Muskaan was busy munching on an after-school snack.

"Do you not care about them at all?" Rahul snapped.

"You're forgetting that I was the one who suggested this idea." Muskaan replied carelessly.

"Yeah, I was surprised. I didn't know how you managed to divert your attention from food long enough to suggest something like this." Rahul replied leaning against the side of his car.

"Ex-cuse me?" Muskaan was angry "Are you trying to say that all I care about is food?"

"You understood that? I'm surprised!" Rahul mocked.

"Rahul, I will kill you if you don't shut up right now. I swear to God I will." Muskaan looked furious.

"Oh please, I could outrun you any day." Rahul replied coolly.

"Teri toh'" Muskaan grabbed her backpack that was full of books and started hitting him mercilessly.

"Muskaan'Muskaan'Muskaan. Stop it! What are you doing?!" Rahul managed to yell out while she was delivering blows to his arms, head, and pretty much whole body.

Muskaan grabbed his collar and pulled his face near hers, "Shut up or else I won't hesitate to kill you. You're getting on my nerves too much these days."

"Oh yeah, 'cause I just looove to bother you, right?" Rahul drawled out sarcastically.

"Guys, be quiet! I could do without you two fighting. I already have too much stuff to care about."

"I can control myself just fine." Muskaan replied.

Rahul snorted and started laughing like a maniac, "You, and control? Haha! You're funny. Go check a thesaurus, Muskaan is an antonym of self-control."

Muskaan silently took of both her platform heels, and aimed them at Rahul. Luckily for Rahul, he noticed before she could hit him, and made a dash for cover. Muskaan ran after him barefooted, and tried to hit him with both her shoes. One of them successfully hit his arm, while the other narrowly missed his back.

Rahul took a huge sigh of relief after she had thrown both of her heels at him. She was standing barefooted in the parking lot ready to head towards where Rahul and her shoes were before she bumped into the Captain of the Football team.

"Can't you watch where you're go..." Muskaan words stuck in her throat as she looked up to see a guy staring down at her. Rahul got up from behind a red car realizing that Muskaan was being too quiet. He saw an intimidating looking guy standing in front of Muskaan, and she looked...scared?!

"Uhh, Muskaan?" Rahul asked surprised.

"I should watch where I'm going?" The guy's voice boomed in the parking lot, "Why don't you try to watch where you're going?"

"Me? What was I doing wrong?" Muskaan looked ready to pounce on the guy, but the guy looked amused.

"Muskaan," Rahul spoke grabbing her arm and pushing her behind him.

"You know her?" The guy looked surprised.

"Yeah, I do, unfortunately. Sorry dude, but she's a teeny bit fierce."

"Oh, don't worry! I like 'em feisty." The guy winked at Muskaan much to her disgust, as Rahul grip on her arm tightened.

"Look dude..." Rahul started trying his best to keep his calm, before he was interrupted.

"Leave her alone." Anjali yelled across at the guy.

"You two are friends?" The guy suddenly straightened up and smiled at Anjali pleasantly.

"Best friends." Anjali stated giving the guy a pointed look.

"Oh, I'm, uhh, sorry about that." The guy muttered to Muskaan before moving past them and towards his car.

Rahul mouthed a 'thank you' to Anjali before he went over to where Muskaan's heels were, picked them up, and went over to where Muskaan was standing wide-eyed.

"Here." He stated dropping her shoes on the ground.

"Uhh, thanks."

"What's your problem?" Rahul demanded.

"Sorry?" Muskaan looked confused as his anger putting on her shoes.

"Do you have no sense at all? What were you thinking yelling at that guy like that?"

"I...he was the one who said all that..." Muskaan mumbled head down.

"So?" Rahul looked even more furious "Just 'cause I handle you like this when you yell at me doesn't mean everyone else will, okay? He could have hit you for all you know."

"He wouldn't have hit me." Muskaan spoke finding the idea absurd.

"And why wouldn't he have?" Rahul raised his eyebrows.

"Come on, he's a guy, Rahul. He wouldn't have hit me."

"You're so badly mistaken, Muskaan. You aren't aware of the type of people that are in this world, okay?" Rahul sighed "Just don't act so stupidly next time, got it."

Muskaan nodded her head down.

"That's my girl." Rahul spoke absentmindedly looking around for a sign of Armaan and Shilpa.

"Your?" Muskaan smirked, "Irraday kya hain?"

Rahul shook his head at her, his eyes narrowing, "You know what I mean."

"I know," Muskaan giggled "But it's still fun bothering you."

"They're still not here." Anjali whined.

"We can see that." Rahul commented.

"Whatever! Muskaan should have killed you." Anjali glared at Rahul.

"Muskaan would never be able to kill me." Rahul smirked.

"That's true." Anjali replied.

"Yeah, and in case you guys haven't noticed I'm still here." Muskaan glared.

"Muskaan!" Anjali exclaimed "What are you doing here?"

"I would like to say 'It's a pleasant surprise seeing you', but really it's not." Muskaan glowered even more.

Anjali just laughed it off, and continued to look for Armaan, and Shilpa.

"What if they left?" Rahul asked.

"We would have seen them. In case you didn't notice, we were here before everyone else." Muskaan replied plainly.

"Well'I just'" Rahul stammered but Muskaan cut him off.

"And I thought you were the smart one."

"I am!" Rahul protested "I just, you know, forgot about that part."

"Yeah, okay Rahul. Whatever gets you through the day." Muskaan shrugged.

"Shut up, Muskaan; shut up, Rahul. In case you guys didn't notice we have more important things to take care of." Anjali remarked her anger returning.

"Look! There they are." Muskaan bounced up and down in excitement of finally spotting Armaan and Shilpa as they exited from the front of the building.

"Yes, Muskaan, we can see them." Rahul spoke in a voice that almost choked with sickening sarcasm.

"Shut up, Rahul." The girls chorused, as the trio headed towards the going-to-get-married-or-not duo.

A/N: Just to clear up any confusion people have, this story isn't set in India, since I've never been there. So the whole format of school, and other stuff might be different. Sorry if it confuses anyone, but I'll try my best to explain things that might be relatively different. Thanks! :) Plus, I know that this is a REALLY short update, but I'm currently suffering from stupid writer's block. I might also need a bit of time to completely understand and adapt to Armaan and Shilpa's characters, so the next part might be a bit Rahul-Muskaan centered, but I promise that some of their encounters and incidents will directly relate to Armaan and Shilpa's pasts. Merci pour la lecture et au revoir! :)
