Part 3- Back To School
The kids started to crowd the classroom, hallways, bathroom and lunchroom. School was starting. Kripa and Angad were already in the class.
K- So, what's up
A- the ceiling
K- ok, is that a guy thing?
A- huh?
K- nothing. You look kinda sick
A- I didn't get much sleep last night
K- oh
A- yeah, so did you find a cell phone?
K- no
A- I dropped it yesterday, and I think I forgot to pick it up.
K- I dunno, check in the lost and found box
A- where is that?
K (sigh)- I'll check for you, im thirsty anyway
A- thanks!
K- no problem
Angad was sitting there, listening to his I pod, when Mr. Das walked in. Angad saw him, but he kept listening to his music. He tried his best to ignore Das, and he could. Deep inside, he didn't really care if Das knew or not, none of it mattered anymore…it was a waste of time, caring about what others thought, felt and anything. Das walked up to Angad, and showed him his cell phone. Angad stared at him, and took off his headphones.
A- Thanks
D- Your welcome, Mr. Angad Khanna
A- can I get back to my music now?
D- You sure I don't know you?
A- If you knew me, I wouldn't have to be sure you don't…you don't.
D- If you say so
Angad just gave a fake smile.
D- See you in class Angad…
A- Looking forward to it
D- Im sure you are
Angad put his headphones back on. And forgot about Das. Das left the room. Angad just rolled his eyes, and went back to his music. Shazad was walking to class when he saw, Meem and her friends were sitting on the stairs inside the school.
M- Sorry guys, I cant go out to today
Girl 1- why?
M- My dad asked me to take care of my sister
Girl 2- Oh god, you parents…couldn't you say no
M- No, I have no problem taking care of her. And eating out isn't all that important, its not a big deal
Girl 1- whatever, if I had parents like yours, I'd have a fight with them every day
M- Fighting takes too much energy, I rather just ignore them and pretend like I care
They laughed and them Meem went to her class. Shazad followed Meem, and tapped her of her back. Meem turned around but Shazad went to the other side. Then he tapped Meem again, and she turned around again and…
S- Boo!!
M- Ahh!! Oh god, its you
S- no, im Shazad, not god…well I know I look like a god, but really…I'd rather be modest about my godly good looks.
M- …..NO
S (laughing) fine, listen, I heard your conversation with your friends.
M- WHAT!! Why? What the hells your problem?
S- You cursed…imma tell your daddy
M- shut up!!!
S- ok fine, chill out. I think we should be friends
M- really….may I ask way you feel this way
S- Sure
M- ok…
S- because, your boring and lifeless, and im cool and full of life.
M-…….
S- Meem, look…just trust me, and don't worry, I wont make you do drugs or anything
M-why do you think I would ever want to be friends with you?
S- Because, you didn't walk away like you did yesterday
Meem blinked really fast and looked down.
S- Admit it Meem, I like my company, im funny and cool, everyone loves me.
M- (sigh) Im going to class Shazad…bye
S- see ya
Meem went in class and sat down, opened a book and was reading. The bell rang, and after homeroom, all the students went to their classes. Angad was in Math. Pre-Calculus, with him was Kripa. Angad wasn't paying attention at all. He thought paying attention was just useless now…its not like he had any plans of going to college. He kept making paper balls and throwing them and Kripa.
K (whispering) WHAT?
A- what?
K- Angad stop
A- Kripa, pay attention!
K- I would if you stopped throwing things at me!!!
N- Ms. Kripa Sharma!!!!!! Would you like to go for detention?
K- huh? Oh, um no. sorry
Ms. Nisa Alam (Gauri) , walked up in her pencil heals to Kripa's desk. She strictly asked her
N- Is there a problem?
K- No
N- ok, so you wouldn't mind telling me the answer to this problem, would you
K- Um, no, I mean yeah. Sure.
N- ok…Come on then. Tell me the answer
K- ugh
N- excuse me?
K- no problem
Kripa hated it when someone challenged her.
K (thinking) - Frickin lady, just because she knows I don't know. Fine, this stuff is easy anyway, it'll take me two seconds.
But, this problem was taking Kripa was while. The kids were whispering and Ms. Nisa was staring at her. Angad felt bad although he was enjoying this. He threw another paper at Kripa. Kripa was mad, but then she saw something written on the paper. She opened it, and found the answer to the problem.
N- Ms. Sharma, im waiting
K- The answer is 32.998756
N-….that's……correct. Well Done
Kripa looked at Angad, and smiled.
Later On-
K- Angad!!
A- yeah?
K- how did you know the answer? You weren't even paying attention
A- This stuff is easy, you have to be a total idiot to have to pay attention to get it
K- jee thanks
A- No Kripa, the only reason you didn't get it was because, oh wait...yeah, its because you're an idiot.
K- Shut up!
A- Kripa chill out.
K- Thanks anyways.
A- What are friends for?
K- So, you're my friend
A- Do you want me to be your friend?
K- Yeah
A- ok then. See you at Lunch, Friend.
K- Bye buddy.
Angad went to his next class and so did Kripa. Kripa was into her text book, when she saw Raj roaming the halls. He waved at Kripa, and then walked away.
K- excuse me? May I go to the washroom
Teacher- ok
Kripa ran outside, and went to Raj.
K- Raj?
R- Hey Krips. What's up?
K- Where were you all day?
R- Out.
K- Raj…
R- ok fine, I'll go to class
K- good
R- god, you always act like my mother
K- well someone's got too
Raj was walking away, then he stopped and held Kripas hand.
R- thanks buddy.
K- whatever, don't get all emotional now.
R- Haha, did I ever?
K- Ok go to class
R- I will, in a minute…
K- Promise?
R- Yeah yeah, now go before the teacher comes out
K- ok, see you at lunch.
It was lunch time. All the tables were numbered. Angad, Shazad, and raj were already sitting at the table. They were eating and talking . Kripa came and sat down with them. Meem's lunch and her friends lunch time was different, so Kripa invited her to sit with them too. They were all eating, when Mr. Das came and sat next to Angad.
D- Hello Mr.Khanna
A- hey
R- Hey Ds, what's up?
D- nothing much. These baacha's are so stupid. They just don't get anything
K- Well, that's kinda where you come in with the teaching.
D- True
S- Yeah but still. Them white people are mad stupid
M- Shazad, you really shouldn't be talking about stupidity.
S- Why? Does it make you feel bad. Don't worry Alif…I mean Meem, were not talking about you. Were talking about stupid people. Your just really retarded
M- whatever you reject.
D- You two remind me of my first love.
R- What happened to her?
D- We spent three amazing years together and got married.
M- You mean, Got married and spent three amazing years together.
D- No…everything became really ugly after marriage…
M- Where is she now
D- In this school, teaching
K- Mr. Nisa
D- The one and only
K- God, im sorry but she's a pain in the but
D- I know…but really. I like the lunch, don't make me throw up. If we keep on talking about my ex-wife, I'll really puke on someone.
Everyone was laughing. Angad just sat there, quiet.
D- What's wrong Mr. Khanna. Why are you so Chup chup like Rani from Black?
A- huh?
M- wasn't she dumb?
D- No!!! Just because she took 20 years to graduate doesn't mean she was dumb.
M- no I mean she…whatever…
They were all laughing. Angad was still quiet.
D- Mr. Khanna would like to tell us something?
Angad started choking on his food. Kripa offered him water, but he just got up and walked to the bathroom. Mr. Das just continued to eat. Later, Mr. Das went to the bathroom, where Anagd was standing.
D- hello
A- what the hell do you want
D- I just want to wash my hands.
A- ……
D- Why are you so scared Angad ? Are you hiding something?
Angad push Mr.Das to the wall. He didn't even realize what he was doing. The held Mr. Das' s collar and stared at him with anger.
A- You stay out of my life, you got that?!
Angad let go of Mr. Das. Mr. Das brushed his suit, fixed his tie.
D- see you in class Mr. Khanna
A- bye
Angad left. It was last period. All the student were in homeroom talking and packing their bags.
D- Listen up kids!!!
Everyone got quiet.
D- Im missing a student…Ms. Vedika Kapoor? Anyone know who she is?
Slowly someone opened the door. It was Ms. Nisa.
D- Yes my love
N- Das, as usual you forgot to pick up your mail form the mailbox. So, you never received that mail which told you that you would have one student coming in late, so you weren't at the office to receive her.
D- Im lost in transmission
N- Vedika Kappor is with me
D- Ok fine, you can keep her. Just give me my share of the house will you
N- DAS!!
D- And you ask me why I don't wanna be with you
N-Vedika this is your homeroom. Good luck.
Mr. Nisa left, and Vedika Kappor (Kanchi) came in the room. Everyone looked at her, then went back to what they were doing. The only person who didn't was Angad. He just kept staring at Vedika.
