Part 5
A week had passed since Shivaay had started school and he had become very much part of the gang; he was funny, smart and a great talker. Gauri and Bhavya had also become quite fond of having him around just as much as Omkara and Rudra had found a great friend in him but someone's feelings towards him hadn't changed as yet. Anika; she just couldn't stand the sight of him as he had won everyone's praise and had taken her place as the top student in every lesson. It had also become a habit of Shivaay to tease Anika, who always fell for his tricks. She tried to stay away from him as much as possible but found it very difficult as they were in most of the same classes and he was always with her friends.
One lesson where she has a little peace and quiet was in Textiles, this is one of her favorite lessons as she loved designing and sewing and she had decided to use this time wisely as she was not disturbed by him or would he take her place in this lesson. They walked into the class and Anika got straight on with her work as the other two were just getting settled.
Anika: Finally...you don't know how long I've been waiting for this lesson...at least I don't have to see that bandar's face!!!
Bhavya: Anika!! C'mon why don't you like him?
Anika: DON'T LIKE? shocked expression - ...It's not that don't I don't like him... - calming down - ...let me correct that for you...I HATE him... - angrily
Gauri: laughing ...You joker...how could you hate him?? He's soo sweet yaar...
Anika: Guys please...at least in this lesson let's not call that idiot's name...I need to rest my brains...in the last half an hour he's chewed my brains soo much I need to take a break... - breathing out
Anika had grabbed a huge A3 sized paper and rushed her pencil over it designing a complicated yet elegant outfit with lots of layers and drapes and a detailed surface decoration. She had completed the basic design within three to four minutes and was working on the detailed touches.
Bhavya: Okay...okay...we won't call his name again...
Anika: Thank you... - still working away
Gauri: - looking at Anika's unfinished design ...Wow yaar...you're amazing...
Bhavya: Let's see... leaning over Gauri's shoulder - ...beautiful...I wish I was that talented... sigh
Anika: Thanks guys... smiles but carries on without looking up
Bhavya: You're making that for me right?
Anika: We'll see... - concentrating
Gauri: Anika...yeh batao...how do you do it?
Anika: Kya? still working away
Gauri: You know...just get right into it and get it done so easily? looking down at Anika's design - ...Just getting started takes me five minutes... - looks around at the other six girls in the class ...and it's not only me...sab log...dekh...
They looked around the class to see everyone was just chilling, taking their time and chatting to each other while the teacher entered the class and was slowly preparing for the lesson.
Anika: looks at Gauri ...Well my dear... - smiling fully for the first time that day - ...designing is my passion and creating is my love... aur passion and love comes from the heart...so when I put my heart into it...sab kuch ho sakta hai...haina... smiling at her friends ...aur haan...ek aur wajah...
Bhavya: What's that? curiously
Anika: Woh bandar yahan nahi hai...isliye!
They all looked at each other and laughed then everyone got on with their work. Anika had added a bit of colour to her design and had moved onto her second design just as the other girls were getting started with their first design.
Two hours late the girls had walked out of Textiles very excited and were walking down the corridor chatting happily about their designs and projects. Bhavya was still arguing with Anika about making the outfit for her; Anika was so cheerful she wasn't looking ahead of her but was looking at Bhavya instead when she walked right into someone and dropped her folder onto the floor, all her designs and drawings were scattered on the floor.
Anika: Hey!! Can't you look where you're going...you stupid... - looks up and comes face to face with Shivaay ...Tum!
Shivaay: Tum bhi dekh kar nahi chal rahi thi...
Anika: Pehle galti karte ho aur mafi bhi nahi mangte...
They had squared up in front of each other like they were going to rip each other's hair out any minute while the others around them began to roll their eyes as if to say...here we go again
Shivaay: Main kyon mafi mangu? It was your fault!
Omkara: Stop!! stepping in between the two ...That's enough!
The girls picked up the papers from the floor and Anika, with the angriest expression on her face, stuffed them back into the folder.
Gauri: Chal...let's go for lunch...I'm starving... lightening the atmosphere
Rudra: Yep me too...
They walked off down the corridor in pairs; Gauri and Omkara holding hands, Anika, still upset, was walking with Bhavya and Shivaay and Rudra walked behind together. When they had almost reached the Common Room Rudra changed his mind stopping and making everyone else come to a halt.
Rudraa: Guys...wait a minute... - all stop and turn to look at him
Shivaay: What's up?
Rudra: Why don't we leave now? There's no point hanging around here we haven't got next lesson so why don't we go to the mall?
Gauri: Yeah that's a good idea then we can get something decent to eat...
Omkara: C'mon then let's go...
The gang had decided to go their favourite hangout...The Mall. They loved chilling in the mall, especially the girls. They had bought food from all over the place, the guys' unhealthy food from Mc.D's and the girls had healthy sandwiches and salad pots from the salad bars. When they had got their food they all sat around their favorite spot by the fountain; it was always their favorite hangout, they loved it as it had such a pleasant feeling, sitting by the fountain or the comfy chairs sipping coffee or munching on the mall's best chocolate chip cookies, cracking jokes among themselves or teasing each other, they always had fun when they were there together. Shivaay, Rudra and Bhavya sat on the edge of the fountain eating their food, Anika sat on the comfy chair having a sandwich and Omkara and Gauri sat on the same chair sharing their food.
After about an hour Omkara and Gauri decided to leave and spend some time together. Bhavya and Anika sat together going through Anika's designs and discussing some changes while Shivaay and Rudra sat back in the chairs looking at girls walking by. Anika looked up in disgust as Shivaay had said something about a certain girl that had just walked by.
Anika: Sick... - in disgust
Shivaay: Kuch kaha tumne?
Anika: You're disgusting...you know that?
Shivaay: Ab maine kya kiya? looking from Anika to Rudra shrugging his shoulders wondering what he had done
Anika: How could you talk about girls like that?
Shivaay: Like what? - confused
Anika: Oh forget it...there's no point in even talking to you...
Shivaay: So you want to talk? Why didn't you say so... moving towards her
Anika: Whatever...keep dreaming!! moving to the side
Rudra: - smiling Tum dono bhi na...
Anika: Kya? looking confused at Rudra wondering how he could even mention them as a pair
Rudra: Bhavya...yaad hain...on the first day what she had said... - Bhavya just smiled
Anika: Kya...what did I say? looking from Rudra to Bhavya
Bhavya smiled knowingly but stayed quiet not wanting to agree with Rudra but she knew he was right.
Rudra: - mimicking Anika - "Don't you two ever stop?
Shivaay and Bhavya laughed at his impression of Anika who looked cross.
Rudra: Yep...aur maine kya kaha tha?...When you find someone as annoying you won't be able to stop...and I don't think you guys are ever going to change...
Anika and Shivaay look at each other.
Shivaay: thinking Are we ever going to stop fighting?
Anika: thinking NEVER!
Thats all for Part 5!
