The next morning as Sharon walked into registration she saw everyone was throwing scrunched up papers at each other. What a bunch of losers she thought. She sat down in her seat next to Rey. She smiled at him, yesterday had been so much fun, and the two of them had finished her work then had dinner together. Rey smiled back. Kria glared at both of them. It made her feel something weird inside, was she jealous? Why though? stop it, she told herself. When the teacher entered the class room and everybody went quiet and settled down. Mr. Rajan opened the register and read the day's announcements when suddenly he said something that made Sharon look up in shock. 'Hang on what did you just say sir?' she was so shocked she was practically shouting.
'Calm down Sharon, I said that all those students who receive student- student tuitions are to go to the library after school every Tuesday and Thursday. That includes, Sharon and Swayum, Rahul and .' He continued to speak but Sharon was so angry she couldn't even hear what he was saying. Me?! Sharon?! Has to go tuitions? I'm not stupid! And that too with Swayum? W*F? There was absolutely no way she was going to sit there for an hour for that weakling Swayum to teach her maths. What would people think? Argh. Who had set this up? She had to talk to her parents at once.
'Sharon, are you okay?' asked Reyansh. Sharon had gone completely still and was not saying anything when just a minute ago she was talking to all of us.
'Yeah, I'm fine, I just need to talk to dad for a minute' she said to Rey then she turned to the teacher and excused herself from class while the teacher took the register. Sharon took out her phone from her purse and thought about who to call. Mum or Dad? This was probably dad's idea. She called her dad and said 'Dad, what the hell? Did you sign me up for this tuitions thing?'
'Yes beta, I think you will benefit you' He replied.
'You think this will benefit me? Sitting after school for an hour with that dork? Just to study a subject I hate? How could you do this to me dad?' she said as anger bubbled inside her.
'Sharon we are not going to discuss this understood, your achievements at school have been very low so if you don't turn up to these classes I will personally arrange an hour's detention for you. Good bye and good luck' and with that her father disconnected the phone. Fine, Sharon thought, just frickin fantastic. She walked back into the class and met eyes with Swayum; he smiled, for the first time ever Swayum couldn't wait till school would finish. Sharon was in a bad mood as she sank into her chair again the whole class passed in a blur to her. The same for Swayum but, for an entirely different reason. As the buzzer for break rang into the ears of everyone sitting in the class there was a sigh of relief as students rushed to stuff their bags with books and their stomachs with food. Sharon was also putting her books away when Swayum came up to her and smiled. 'Bye Sharon, mein tumhe baad mein milta hoon theek hai?' he said looking at her with his day dreaming expression.
'Fine but just listen to this Swayum, I don't know how you managed get this done, but let me just tell you that if I am going to make your life a living hell do you understand?' Sharon replied pointing her index finger at him.
'But Sharon, saachi mein ne kuch nahi kiya, I swear ' he started but Sharon had already held her hand up at him and walked away. Swayed could understand why she was so angry all the time, it wasn't her fault she had to deal with a lot, especially her parents' divorce. It would take time but Swayum knew that she would one day realise his love and until then they had these 1 hour tuitions. He smiled and exited the classroom excited for the end of the day.
Finally when the day had ended and students had headed home, there were few students left. Some went to after school clubs while some stayed to play sports in the back field. Meanwhile in the library Swayum sat since the end of the day waiting for Sharon. She was half an hour late and Swayum was getting worried, what is something has happened to her? Although nothing could have happened because she was at school all day, but still. He felt so frustrated that he could do nothing but wait since he didn't have her mobile number and of course she wouldn't give it to him anyway. Also they were not together in the last class and so this made him feel even more distressed he wondered if he should go to Sharon's last class teacher. But then he wondered what if she came when he was gone? Also what if her teacher had already gone home? Swayum was so confused; he really didn't know what to do! These questions went around this mind for an hour as Sharon didn't turn up. Finally he was so worried that he wrote a note to Sharon and left it on his desk then went to reception to ask the lady if she knew. When he returned with still no news of Sharon the school library was closing. He looked around the whole library carefully but still there was no sign of Sharon.
'Ma'am please can you wait a few minutes, a student was supposed to be here' he pleaded with the librarian.
'Do you own the library? Tell me?' the lady looked at Swayum through her square rimmed glasses. 'Can you pay me my salary to keep the library open? Huh? Can you?'
'err no' Swayum replied looking down.
'Then get out of my way and let me do my work' she said shooing Swayum away and closing the doors. 'Stupid children, do they think i have no life? I have to go to my ballet classes' she mumbled away.
Swayed looked at her with an unfathomable expression, ballet classes? The old librarian lady went ballet classes? Normally Swayum was never disrespectful but he hoped there was a hospital nearby to the ballet classes.
He waited outside the library for another half an hour when Sharon finally turned up at the doors of the closed library. When they were both facing each other and so close Swayum could smell her perfume. Suddenly he smiled and put his arms around her hugging her so close so deeply that he nearly lost himself. He closed his eyes. Swayum had never been so happy. He was so ecstatic that she was okay, alive and well, that he couldn't help himself.
Sharon frowned. He was meant to be angry, so angry that he would quit tutoring her. Still she couldn't help wanting to hug him back. His hug was so warm and heartfelt, it showed her, for the first time, how much he really cared about her, which made her want to cry because she had always treated him so badly. He hadn't just put his arms around her but more like he had embraced her for who she was and wasn't willing to easily let go. She felt like there was nobody there, as if they were the only two people on the planet. She melted into his arms and leaned her head against his chest while putting her hand flat against the front of his chest. Suddenly Swayum broke away and took a step back. He looked at Sharon. He hoped she wouldn't be angry or upset, but they just looked at each other for a few seconds stunned at what had just happened.
'I'm so sorry Sharon, I didn't mean to do that, I have no interest in you like that' Swayum tried to explain in case she misunderstood him.
'It's fine, Just err ' she was having a hard time thinking straight 'nobody finds out about this okay' she said finally. Her rep would go down in drains if anybody found out she had hugged a weakling! No wait she hadn't, he had hugged her and that was none of her fault. Anyway he wasn't interested in her "like that' what did that mean anyway? Was he trying to say she wasn't hot enough for him? Guys would die to be with her and he wasn't interested in her? The thought made her so mad she started shouting at him. 'You idiot what do you think you were doing huh? Disgusting! Don't even try that again with me again understood'
'Sharon where were you? I waited 2 hours for you in the library for our tuitions remember?'
'Well I'm here aren't I? I was told to come to tuitions but it's not my fault I got a bit late and the library closed.' Sharon touched her hair. Damn, she thought, it was beginning to rain and she had to go home.
'Listen Sharon I'm sorry but this can't keep going. I seriously didn't do anything that made me your tutor; I still can't believe it myself. But I can't lie to the teacher and say you came to your tuitions when you didn't. So unless you want to get in trouble you should seriously consider coming to the next tuition lesson. Please.' He added. He didn't want her to get in trouble and so this was the only way to make sure she would come to the lesson. He hadn't minded waiting for her but next time if she could only come a bit early then he wouldn't feel so guilty about not having taught her anything.
'You snitch' she gasped. 'Fine I'll come to the stupid lessons but I'm not gonna do any work anyway so there' she said like a 5 year old stubborn child. what was she supposed to do? say no? she couldn't and she knew this because she would get in so much trouble. she thought Swayum would forgive her if he liked her so much but she forgot this guy was also a goody-two-shoes. and of course he wouldn't lie. how stupid of her to even think so.
swayum smiled, he bet she didn't even know how cute she was, with her pouted lips and turned up nose. then swayum stopped smiling when he remembered he was supposed to be the strict teacher. 'fine, i'll see you tomorrow then at the library exactly when school finishes do you understand?' then he opened his umbrella and said 'umm... do you want to come with me?' then faltered 'i mean till your car because you know, it's raining' he pointed upwards then felt embarrassed for stating the obvious.
'No!' then she looked at the sky, the rain was getting heavier and she didn't want to mess up her hair. 'wait... fine. but nobody should find out about this' she warned him. then she walked under the umbrella with him and stood next to him. their shoulders bumped and Sharon felt it all the way to her toes. Swayum looked into her eyes, while she moved her eyes to look anywhere but into his. Finally when he wouldn't move she sighed.
'are you gonna move or what?' she asked impatiently. They walked without talking, listening to the fall of the rain to the ground and the smell of wet rocks.
