*This is my last update for the next 2 weeks! Exams 😕 I got some time today to post the part, but I don't think I'll be on I-F for a while, so in advance: I'll miss you guys like hell! Have fun while I'm gone, and miss me LOTS! lol! 😛
P.S This part was sort of rushed, and it might be sort of 🤢, but bear with me! LOL!
P.P.S Before I forget, I'd like to thank Sonia for agreeing to be my temporary Mannu Dii replacement in translating Hindi/Punjabi! So thanks SO much Sonia for the help! Muah!
Part 5- First Class, second meeting
Rahul: Where do we go?
Robbie: I don't know! It's not like we'll get lost anywhere. I mean do you see the size of this place.
They walked around the same hallways for about half an hour. Everybody was probably already in their classes, that would be the reason behind the hallways being so empty.
Robbie: Wasn't that chick supposed to show us around?
Rahul: Yea, after you took her locker, I don't think she'll ever come near us.
Robbie: What ever.
Rahul watched his friend lean against the wall having no signs of concern on his face.
Rahul: Robbie. You know why you're here right?
Robbie: Yea. Because my mom had this sudden idea to bad name her only son. And she knew how much I hate these normies (normal people) forget living with them!
Rahul: Rob- you'd never be in this position if you just paid attention in school, man.
Robbie: Rahul, look at yourself man. You're stuck here too!
Rahul playfully punched Robbie's arm.
Rahul: I was hoping you didn't remind me.
--- In class.
Muskaan: Arre Poochna bhi mat! Mere parents suddenly had this idea of getting me married... aur pata hai woh apni beti ko kiske palle bandna chahte the... (Don't even ask! My parents had this idea of getting me married... and you know who they wanted their daughter to get married to...)
Kasturi (totally clueless): No... Who?
Muskaan: HAI RABBA JI! Kassy- they wanted me to get married to that... THAT THING!
Kasturi: Ohh! You mean Rahul? He seems like a nice guy!
Muskaan (shocked and disgusted): EW! Rahul... aur NICE GUY? (Starts laughing her funny laugh, for those who watch Dill Mill Gayye know what I am talking about)
Knocks on the door.
Mr. Wilson: Anita. Get the door please.
Anita: Trina get the do-
Kasturi: Anita, he asked you.
Kasturi watched Anita furiously get out of her seat and stomp to the door.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH MYYYY GOD!!! OH MY LORD! EEEEEK!" (Anita screaming)
Everyone rushed out of their seats, worried for Anita.
Kasturi: WHAT HAPPENED?
Anita: It- it's ROBBIE SABARWAL!! OH MY GOD!! Trina- water NOW!
Trina: Right away Anita!
Everyone began pushing their way into the crowd. Kasturi watched from a distance.
Raunak: Hey Kasturi!
Kasturi (looking over at Raunak, whose standing beside her): Oh! Hey!
Raunak: New kid?
Kasturi: Mmhm. Some hot shot who calls himself "a rock star"
Raunak: Hey! That's Robbie Sabarwal! Wow. I never imagined him here.
Kasturi: I know. But he's such an arrogant person. I mean look at him. Look at that smirk on his face!
Raunak: Ha, look at Anita. She's all over him! Poor guy.
After an hour of admiring Robbie, everyone seemed to sort of settle down. The teacher instructed everyone to take his or her seats, but then changed his mind.
Mr. Wilson: Since we have not one, but 2 new students I feel we should have another annual migration.
Muskaan whispers to Kasturi: Oh damn! Not another one!
The "Annual" migration was when everybody wrote his or her name on a piece of paper. Mr. Wilson then drew the names in pairs, and assigned new seats. According to him, annual migration was a magnificent way to get to know one another.
Mr. Wilson: Jake and Lisa, Trina and Coyes, Anita and... Gattu (Devan aka Gattu of BBB)
Everyone started laughing- except Kasturi. She didn't see what was so funny. Gattu may have been a little overweight, but he was a real sweetheart!
Anita: Mr. Wilson! Can't I sit beside one of our new (smiles at Robbie) students?
Mr. Wilson: Anita! That's not the annual migration spirit! You and Gattu sit over there (points to the front seats)
Anita: UGH!
Gattu finished his bag of potato chips and licked his fingers clean. "I'll be looking forward to your company Anita" He tried to shake her hands, but Anita moved away.
Anita: EW you fat loser, get away!
Mr. Wilson: Muskaan and Rahul-
Kasturi watched her friends' expression change from being "happy" to down right mad. She looked over at Rahul who looked like he was in the same shock state as Muskaan.
Mr. Wilson: And our final pair- Robbie and Kasturi. J
"WHAT!" the words came out at the same time from the both of them.
Mr. Wilson: Is there a problem?
Robbie: Why in the world would I sit with her? No here's a better question: WHY WOULD I SIT ON THESE? (Points at the seats)
Mr. Wilson: Robbie. Son, I understand that you're not used to this entire new environment. But as time goes by, I am sure you'll get used to this place! And until then, Ms. Chawla well help you out! Isn't that right Kasturi?
Kasturi forged a fake smile.
"Of course."
--- At the back of the room where Rahul and Muskaan sit.
Muskaan: Oye! Tujhe na, mein MAR DALUNGI! (I'll kill you!)
Rahul: Mujhe mar dalega tu? Tere haath torqar agar tere haath mein nahin dediyana, toh mera naam bhi Rahul nahin hai! (You're going to kill me? If I don't break your arm and place it in your other hand, then my name isn't Rahul!)
Muskaan: Toh naam badaldena! Waisebhi, Rahul bohut hi bakwaas naam hai! (Then change your name, Rahul is a very stupid name anyhow)
Rahul: Oye Nautanki band kar! (Stop your drama) Tu kya ladki hai ya behas? (Are you a girl or a cow?)
Muskaan: Rahul, tujhe main akri warning deti hu! Agar tere ye manhoos shakal mujhe dekaiya na toh... (Rahul I'm giving you a final warning, if you show me this ill- lucked face of your then...)
Rahul: Tujhe toh- (You...)
Mr. Wilson: Rahul, Muskaan! Be quiet both of you!
-- Where Robbie and Kasturi sit
Kasturi: What are you doing?
She watched Robbie try to stab his pencil into the sharpener.
Robbie: Are you blind? I'm sharpening my pencil- duh!
Kasturi: Uh, you don't sharpen pencils like that.
Robbie: Well if you're so smart- why don't you just do it for me?
She grabbed his pencil and sharpened it for him.
"See, you rotate the pencil!"
Robbie: Whatever. Don't you guys have those automatic things? They work so much faster.
Kasturi just stared blankly into his face. There before her sat the billionaire rock star... who couldn't even sharpen a pencil! What a headline that would make!
"You have a lot to learn."
After the whole pencil sharpening fiasco was over, Robbie sat back on his chair and stared into space. He kept fanning himself- but the temperature wasn't that hot.
Robbie: Isn't there any damn air conditioning?
Kasturi: The windows are open! Now SSHH! Mr. Wilson's speaking!
At the front, Mr. Wilson was lecturing the class about Pangaea, and how the continents were once all joined together.
Mr. Wilson: With your partner- discuss the recent findings of the super continent and why these artifacts support the whole theory of continental drift.
Kasturi turned to Robbie.
"Okay, so Pangaea – it was thought to be one whole piece of land. Supposedly, the lands slowly started to drift apart until their present locations. Why do you think this happened?"
Robbie gave Kasturi the longest gaze. Was she actually expecting him to know the answer to whatever it was that she was asking?
Robbie: Are you serious. You actually think I know what Pen- whatever is? Why don't you do all this "brain" work, and I'll you know, just do what I do best!
Kasturi: And what would that be?
Robbie: Sitting back.
Kasturi wasn't convinced. "Yea, right."
Robbie: Listen. You do this school crap- and I'll make your life heaven!
Kasturi: Excuse me?
Robbie took out a $100 bill and swished it back and forth in his hands.
Kasturi: Are you trying to bribe me...?
Robbie (laughs): Bribe? All I'm saying is, you raise my grades and this right here (points at the money) will be all yours.
She couldn't believe what he was saying. Kasturi had been raised to never give into bribes, and to always respect herself. Robbie's offer made her feel so degraded, so dirty and cheap.
Kasturi: I can earn for myself. I don't need this, this piece of paper to make my life worth living.
Robbie: What'ya mean?
Kasturi grabbed the bill from his hand and crumpled it into a tiny ball, and put it right back in Robbie's hand.
Kasturi: I hope that answered your question.
He watched Kasturi pack her things up and walk out of the room, leaving him confused as ever. Nobody ever said no to Robbie Sabarwal- Nobody!
"One day Kasturi Chawla, you'll come to me yourself and beg for this very dollar bill. And I'll make sure of it!"
