ZOOLOGY CLASS-
"There are many reasons for immortality. Vampires are immortal because cells of their bodies attend a stage- that is no degradation and no regeneration-static. Muscle cells are not metabolically active. They derive their nutrition direct from blood- parasitic. Wizards have highest potential to regenerate their tissues. Werewolves' immortality is subject to their tendency to keep their cells fresh and active; their cells attain a quiescent stage. "- professor Karan typically delivered his lecture to a class consisting of frustrated vampires and sleepy non vampires.
"then why more energy need of werewolves?"-asked the zoology Professor with a interesting expression. He soon saw majority of them sheepishly nodding their head down to hide their faces.
Smiling vaguely to the class he continued-"because-keeping cells fresh and active in case of wizards, certainly requires less energy than in keeping old permanent cells metabolically active, which werewolves do-"
it was really hectic-not for students to bear the lecture.. but for prof. Karan to bear students sad faces, as if they are being subjected to so much torture.
WEEKEND-
EVENING-
Weekends in Takshila are jovial, peppy and naughty and the dates when guys and girls go to disco-lounge-party! But return before 11:30 pm. Takshila runs on rules and regulations.
Today, it's the time when sun is going to hide himself behind the horizon after 2 hours.
Few seniors of Takshila were playing "Dog and the Bone" on the green lawn stretches of Takshila. While other juniors were spectating the match, gabbling, chattering-all together making a spree and living free-hours of life in weekend. The contest was between boys and girls, today.
"Hey Swazy!..dear would you like to join us..we need more mates!"-girl house captain of Neelanayan offered.
"Yeah! Why not? How many more you need?"-swastika asked excitedly.
"We need 2"
"But my friends and me our 4!"-swastika's face faded.
"You all four wanna play?"-she asked in vague surprise.
"Why just we four- we all here sitting want to play"-swastika alleged.
The girls became super excited, whole interested female flock gathered on ground. Hence boys called their juniors too, yes, including Shaleen...
The interesting part of the game was- boys and girl were given alternative turns to chose themselves a competitor for the game..
Sia chose Vicky and Vicky chose to loose sententiously-her smile was far more important for him. And another reason was- he could just not concentrate on game in the happiness that Sia chose him..
Neither of Jaya and Uday chose each other, but senior wanted to have this combat between boy's and girl's monitor of 1st year. Uday lost a serious game with perfectionist Jaya. And it didn't hurt his princely ego- because losing to a beautiful girl with brain of Takshila was a no objection for him. The gentleness in their relation makes them go smooth with each other.
Mehul called Manyata for himself and even won. This competition was simple as Manyata didn't know to play, but she wanted to play.
Finally the climax combat-Shaleen selected Swan.
Neelnayan princess versus Rudheerakshi prince!
Its been two weeks, there had been no special encounters, apart from those routine fights between them
They both were bent over the blue cloth in a chalked circle with their eyes locked and steps encircling the cloth. Shaleen knew it's important for him to focus on his game than allowing his eyes to praise her waving black curls in front of her face.
"They could be disturbing her?"- he thought, without giving a thought that he himself is getting deviated by those.
Its not just him, swastika was finding it way much harder than him to concentrate. How could she??- when shaleen's bad habit of keeping his first 2 buttons always unfastened allowed her a very easy view of his chest- toned and mighty, as he did inclination on the blue cloth. This view always choked her throat.
In impasse-to continue with watching the interesting view inside hi shirt or win a score to her team, she bits her lower lip in weakness. From nook of her lips she slowly left her lip craftily, snatching Shaleen's attention- they looked extremely attractive to him..
TRAP!!!
His eyes completely diverted to her lips and tameless swastika grabbed the cloth. Not in moment, just next half second she spun fanatically around to run. She merely would have pressed the ground with her feet twice at consecutive places, after when she had no ground under them. She was being rudely pulled behind, with an ensnare of a strong arm around her waist. And in next half of same second, she was flying... Supernatural speed!!
Far from swastika's imagination, she had been scooped in Shaleen arm- she elicited this when she opened her squeezed eyes after her terrifying fear. She inhaled air to puff her lungs and cool herself-she is safe..she is in Shaleen's arms.
WAIT!-WHY AM I HERE? LIKE THIS?- it was quickly cerebrated in her brain, she alerted.
Her psyche screamed-THE CLOTH-she sighed finding it still in her hands. Swastika saw the boys' team roaring like mad to see Shaleen carrying her in his arms. Her brain screamed- INJUSTICE!
Its was just 1 and a half second she had been in Shaleen's carriage since then, she started struggling to jump off-"its not fair"-she exclaimed.
"everything is fair in love and war sweetheart!"-he wooed.
LOVE didn't matter now- let it go to hell!.. its now war between them now. Swastika was freakishly shaking her legs and hands to undo his grips on her body. Shaleen steps fumbled when he was carrying her to his team's border.
"You can't do like this- its CHEATING ..."-she chided, while sharply nudging his chest. Girls' teams could not believe what's happening before their eyes.
Shaleen tightened his grip on her thighs and around her back- he was not going to let her go so easily -"listen-"-he plainly asked her, though he knew she is not going to obey...anyways-"the only thing which will grant a point to my team is reaching of this blue cloth in team's border, which is right now in your hands. Aur kuch bhi ho jaye- you are not going to give me this!"he simply stated.
"yes-you are right!"-she blurted without resting her attempt to free herself, jumping in his arms like crazy. So actually she was listening to shaleen!
"and jahan tak mujhe rules pata h, there is no rule like I can't bring anything other thrash along with the cloth."
Girls team had already started screaming from behind to oppose this unjust action in game.
"Tum meri jindagi ki sabse badi aaffatt ho! leave me right now!"-she barked on him, still briskly trying to evade from his grasp.
Shaleen proudly reached the margin of boy's team and left her down to fall freely.
She was dumped down carelessly. -"aaaoocchh!!" she winced in pain, which started already healing supernaturally.
"how dare you leave me?"-
"what do you want from me haan?- YOU asked me to leave you!"- he mocked, he just loved to tease her. He snatched the cloth out of her hand, and winked mischievously to her.
Cloth has reached the boy's team boundary-VICTORY! Boys wolf-whistled in rejoice. Shaleen left her then and there like a non living item. She just could not believe it the rudeness of a boy can go this far..."bigde wolfy!" she threw the words in anger. She stood up, and reluctantly started walking towards girls' team. Girls flock ran to boys like hungry wild cats. Shaleen's innovative way to score a point was not at all appreciated by girls.
The quarrel starts- its cheating- no score!! V/S Cloth has reached the boundary -it's a score.!!
Boys could not manage their angry queens- they just escaped by saying-"chill darling- let's keep this a draw match! Neither you loose, nor we win! All equal and even".
It still didn't end.
To be continued...in next post.
