Chapter 4
It was lunch time and both were standing
in front of the table. On the other side of the table sat Vaishali ma'am; their
math teacher, they pushed each other slightly to get to the center of the
table. Finally the teacher looked up and asked, "What is the problem?"
Both started at the same time. "I can't
sit with her." "I can't sit with him."
The teacher rolled her eyes. Kids! "Grow up and if you have any
problem, then find yourself another school to attend."
Both shut up and looked at the teacher
who went back to grading papers. Knowing their work was done here and they have
no other option, they gave each other deathly glares and stormed out of the
room; again, crashing at the entrance to get out first.

Akshara went out to the open food stall area
and sat on the chair fuming. The day couldn't get any worse. Asna and Abhi
looked up from their books to see her murmuring to herself. "What does he think
of himself? Some sort of dictator! Always giving lectures - Just let me find a
good reason and I'll show you what I can do!"
Asna interrupted, "Akshara, what
happened? Who are you mad at?"
She retorted back, "Who else? That new governor
of the school."
Abhi replied, "Oh you mean Aayush?"
Akshara rolled her eyes. "Yea, if that
is what his name is."
Abhi muffled a laugh. "You really hate
this person. You don't even know him. He's not that bad!"
Akshara felt cheated upon. "You're my
friend or his? I don't like him and you're not supposed to like him either!
There is a thing called friendship you know."
Asna scoffed. "Oh please yaar don't get
mad at him too now. He's just telling what he thinks and he is right, you don't
even know him yet. What did he do now?"
She replied getting mad again, "I'll
have to sit with him everyday now! Or else I'll have to find another school!
Can you believe that?"
Abhi and Asna looked at each other with
wide eyes and back at Akshara as Kaveri made her way towards them. Looking at
the duo's expression and Akshara's anger she asked, "What's up? Why so
serious?"
Asna ignored and asked, "I don't get it,
he just joined school and why does he matter so much that what he says and does
is so important to you."
Akshara shot back instantly, "Who said
anything related to him important to me. It doesn't affect me at all."
Kaveri sat down confused on what her
friends were discussing. She was about to speak up but Asna interrupted.
Asna said, "Honey, if he is not that
important than you will seriously not consider the second option."
Abhi added, "Exactly, and he is not that
important that living through first option should be that hard for ya."
Akshara stared at her friends. Her mind
told her, 'they are right, he is nothing, just a new comer and now my
class-mate than why should I care what he says and what not.' She seconded her
mind saying, "True, why should I let my life change for some arrogant person
who is nothing and in anyway not related to me."
Asna and Abhi glanced back at each other
hearing this, and deep inside they knew something entertaining and interesting
is about to take over in their friend's life. After all this was the first time
since they knew Akshara, that she was affected by some one. Other times she
will fight back but than move on and forget about it thinking of him or her as
some stranger. But, this time the start off was already fun.
