Crush Lucky Draw

7 years back

Roop's POV:

"Damn it, I'm bored!" I said occupying the last benches with my group.

"You want me to dance for you mam?" Neha, my friend said sarcastically.

"I wouldn't want the class throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes at you" I fired back.

"Bro! Can't you be a little girly sometimes?"

"And, how do I do that Miss?"

"Umm, why don't do get a boyfriend?" Suggested Akash.

"Get a boyfriend and keep speaking nonsense like, ' I would get the moon and the stars at your feet' and 'The day we will get married' and all? Not my thing Dumbass"

"Listen, Roop! You're cute, and intelligent too, then why not get someone to make you happier?" Another piece of shit suggested.

"Why are so eager to get me a boyfriend?"

"Because you're the love expert of the group!"

"I'd prefer a crush then," I said rolling my eyes.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! You finally agreed on something" Neha said

"We'll find the best one for you!" Akash

"Guys, just look around if you spot someone cute."

"Guys, there's no such guy in our section at least!" I replied frustrated.

"Roop, would you please help me with these papers?" The teacher said.

"Coming mam!" I then turned to my idiots, "Don't draw any unnecessary troubles for me. Whatever happens, keep it to yourself."

Half an hour later

"Roop, here, choose one of these lines," Sara said handing me over a paper that had some strange lines that looked like noodles on a plate, impossible to figure out the start and the end. I lazily pointed out a start I could find.

After struggling hard for 5 minutes, Neha screamed out, "Oh my god! This lucky guy is now Roop's official crush!"

"Who?" A voice behind me asked.

"Shaurya Sharma!! We had a lucky draw for Roop's crush and he is the winner." Neha enthusiastically replied to him.

The whole class started howling.

I smiled at Neha for a brief moment and then, "Bang!" I hit a heavy book on her head.

"And you," I shouted to the class," either stop these nonsense howls or get ready to have superglue mixed in your food and drinks any moment from now."

Oh, peace to ears!

I then turned to my friends, "You know what you guys are?"

They looked at me guiltily

"100% ORGANIC DOG SHIT!" I said.

*Ringgg!!!*

"You may leave now students!" The teacher declared.

I was walking to my bus when I heard someone calling me. I turned around and oh hell, it's the lucky boy, Shaurya Sharma!

"Roop, wait for me!"

"What is it?"

"Why're you always this rude?"

"Am I now?"

"Yes!"

"Then quit following me, you Ass!"

"I have heard something!"

"Something about....?"

"About.. umm.. you..and.. me, I mean... about.. us!" He said smiling sheepishly.

"Something? Go and hear the full thing from my star group! Always creating a mess!"

"I..."

"Babbyyy!!!" A female voice behind him came towards us

"Oh, there's your baby girl"

" Crap!"

"Bye"

"I'll see you in the evening!" He said as I was leaving.

"Yeah, thinking of something like *gharwali-baharwali*?" I said to myself

(gharwali-baharwali means wife and mistress in Hindi)

I boarded the bus, went home and saw maasi waiting for me.

"Have you eaten?" I asked her

"How can I without my dearest niece?" maasi smiled at me.

We had lunch together and then I locked up myself in my room,

threw myself on the bed, and went to sleep.
