Sh*t sh*t sh*t! That guy saw me seeing me! Mann! Why my brain suddenly wants to every bit of that guy!
Every bit means personality wise not **Ahem** wise!
'Now, Khushi..you won't see him! Final! You will just ask La at the end of the class bas!', I tried pacifying my information hungry mind.
I kept on chanting this, as if it was my morning prayer and didn't realise that Mrs. Sharma had been calling me ever since I drowned myself in "New-guy" chant.
"Khushiii", La hit me hard on my shoulder.
"WHATTT???", I shouted as if I am talking to a deaf. And, as my shout reached the ever vibrating ear drums of my classmates, every body looked at me as if I was an alien which landed right now and spoke in my dialect!
*Sigh*
Oh! Devi Maiyya , Have you made all the embarrassing only for me? You should have distributed equally no?
"Sorry", I said in my small voice and my stupid, involuntary eye turned towards the new guy and I saw him smiling. His expression told me it was smile of amusement. It was cute smile. I noticed, how chocolaty his eyes were, his smile was just like Barun..the moment it spread on his face, I felt my mouth also changing itself into same shape.
Observing his handsome Barun-like face was another mistake that my brain thought of doing! Again, I was lost !
La shook me again like a mixer grinder, this time pressing my shoulder with a pressure I put, while taking out last paste from my toothpaste tube. Startled, I crashed back to my world, and noticed that smile was now gone and his eyes were saying me something.
I too used my eyes to ask him what he was saying. He rolled his eyes and then, signalled towards the blackboard. I followed what his eyes said, and there came in the scene was facepalmed Mrs. Sharma.
My brain suddenly remembered that I was sitting in class and Mrs Sharma was calling me since ages. Yet, another embarrassing moment.
Devi Maiyya we need to have a talk!
"I am really really sorry ma'am!", I again apologised.
"Ms. Gupta, I know, you are president of your dream world and you have lots of responsibility like arranging how your dream world would look like and all. But, pls change timings of your thoughts because fortunately or unfortunately, you are living in this world also! So pls, spare some time for us also!", Mrs. Sharma passed a sarcastic comment, which as usual arose peel of laughters in my class.
I swell up my mouth and looked here and there. Amidst the laughing puppets, my eyes again came across that lovely smile. My mouth deflated like a balloon. His smile, had a magic! Though, I very well knew he was smiling at my craziness, but still, I somehow was liking it ! While I was staring again at his smile, La jerked at my shoulder while laughing... distracting me! I turned towards her and gave a faint smile. Then, I glanced back at him who was staring at me continuously and looked towards Mrs. Sharma.
"Ok ok enough of joke. So, as I was telling you all, you have to come here and pick up a chit. In every chit there is a number written. One more person has same number on his/her chit. The students with same number will make a pair and work together on a project! And, Khushi, everyone has picked up the chits, only you are remaining. Come and take this chit", said Mrs. Sharma.
I got up from my seat and fished through chits. After selecting one I proceeded towards my place but at the same time glanced at that new guy, who was also looking at me. After I settled myself, Mrs. Sharma asked us to open our chits. Turn after turn numbers were called out and finally, my turn came and spoke out loud,
"Number 27"
"Yes!", said a voice. I tilted myself to look at the source and my eyes widened again. As I peeked, I saw him! Him, the new guy, the Sobti like looking guy as my partner!
He raised one of his eye brow again, as he saw my O-shaped mouth.
But, I didn't even know his name, how am I going to work with him? My mind shouted out in an inaudible voice.
"Ohk! So Khushi, you are going to work with Arnav!", Mrs. Sharma finally introduced him to me.
Wait...ARNAV! ARNAV! First of all he looks like Barun and now his name also..same as my favourite character! Pls don't tell me his surname is Singh Raizada!
Mrs. Sharma continued, " Its good now! Mr. Raizada is new to this college! Along with project you could help him with different things!"
"Raizada! Who raizada?", I almost shouted like an idiot!
" Me! I am Raizada. Arnav Singh Raizada!", said Arnav, while standing up from his place, passing same adorable smile to me.
"So..sor..", I began, but he cut me off.
"Its ok Khushi. TBH, I am quite used to it!", he said with a sigh.
Used to it..? Why?
He continued, " I hope we come out to be awesome twosome!"
I stared with my wide eyes again! It felt, as if he knew me since ages!
Mann! This is getting crazier!
