5 Chapter 4
Today's morning assembly is way more crowded than any other usual day. No surprises there. Today the principal is going to make an announcement about the elections of house captains and school captains.
I hope that I get elected as the house Captain. I love working for my house and getting a chance to manage it will be amazing.
Our school has four houses. The red house as Love, the green house as Hope, the blue house as Respect and the yellow house as Happiness. I'm in the Green house since I was in the first grade. I remember those fun moments I spent with my housemates during those competitions.
I didn't realise when I got lost in those cute memories until our principal's grumpy voice broke my little walk down the memory lane.
"Good morning students! I hope you all spent a productive and happy vacation. As you all know that with the start of a new session, old students must depart and pass on their duty to the new ones. The school Captain and Vice-Captain elections will be done by the teachers, as usual. All the students are requested to choose a member of the nominated members of your respective houses. Let your house master know your decision. The list will be posted on the school notice board, shortly after assembly. Do inform your house master by the end of the day. Thank you. Have a nice day."
After our principal was done with his long speech, the assembly started. It was the daily morning prayers and our National Anthem.
It was like everything passed in a snap, as we were back in our class, ready for our first period.
The door opened and we all stood up. Our maths teacher came in along with...a new student? I hope that this guy is a new student in our class. He is absolutely... I don't know, I am not getting any good enough adjective to use. He is heaven to eyes. He has lightest brown eyes, with dark curly brown hairs, sharp jawline, with a scruffy beard and he might have some light and. Long story short, he was heavenly and I couldn't keep my eyes off him.
I was forcefully dragged out of my sweet little dream by our maths teacher and her annoying voice, "Good morning students. Today we have a new student among us. Please introduce yourself."
"Hi everyone, I'm Anirudh Banerjee. I shifted here from St.Pauls academy. I don't have much to say about myself. I just hope we can be great friends." Oh, My fooking goodness! His voice is so smooth and heavenly! I can't believe it.
"Stop drooling!" A voice broke whatever daze I was in. I turned to find Rajveer sitting there, with complete irritation on his face.
"I am not drooling!" I replied
"Trust me, Princess, you were. But honestly, what do you see in that guy?" He asked
"Well, for the starters, he is hot and for the rest, you won't get it" I replied, to which he just scoffed.
"Now Anirudh, go find a seat", our teacher said and I crossed my fingers in hope, that he'll come and sit beside me. Our eyes met and he gave one of his charming smiles and started walking towards me.
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
He is coming this way! Shit! He stopped right in front of me.
" Can I sit here?" Oh my fooking God! There it is again, his soft smooth voice.
"Um... Uh... Yeah... No... I guess... Shit! Yes, sure!" After a hell lot of stammering, I got it right. God! I just successfully embarrassed myself.
He sat down and turned towards me, "In the middle or on the side?" He asked, pointing towards his bag.
"Um...wh-whe-what...sorry!", I took a deep breath and said, "wherever you feel comfortable".
He smiled and shifted a bit closer, as he kept his bag on the side.
I was well aware of his presence. His warmth was melting my heart. Our knees were brushing with each other, making me feel giddy.
" So, what's your name?" He asked
"S-S-Samira", I mumbled
" That's a cute name!" He replied
To say that I blushed hard would be an understatement! My entire face turned red and my heart was pounding hard against my ribs. As the class went on, my mind kept on drifting back to Anirudh. I stole a few glances at him when was not looking. His voice was the only thing that was playing in my head, like a piece of soft music I just got addicted to. I turned red every time our fingers touched and our knees brushed against each other, but it wasn't intentional.
'Yeah absolutely unintentional ', my inner self said sarcastically.
'Well, it wasn't...from his side at least'
Soon the bell rang signalling the end of the class and my mood dimmed a bit. I don't even know if he's in my other classes or not.
He collected his books and turned towards me. With a smile, he asked, "So, what's your stream?"
"I-I-I am in commience" I stuttered
"Huh?" He replied, looking confused.
"Sorry, I mean commerce!" I said
"Oh! Good to know. I am in commerce too. Seems like we'll be spending a lot of time together." He said with a heart-melting smile and went towards the door. As he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "I love your stuttering by the way. It's cute!" He winked and left.
I slumped down on my seat.
'That was something!' I thought.
'But I'm still team Rajveer' my inner self said
'Does it looks like I care? And there's no team Rajveer in the first place.' I replied
"Earth to Samira!" A voice interrupted my little chit chat with myself.
"Yes?" I said and looked up to see Rajveer standing there.
"Do you really like that boy so much?" He asked
"Do you really like annoying me so much?" I replied with another question.
"I asked first", he said.
" I asked second", I replied.
"So, do you?" he asked again.
"So, do you?" I mimicked him.
"Answers. Me." He said. His voice dangerously low and anger was evident in them. And if glares could kill, I would have been dead by now.
"I am not bound to", I replied with whatever confidence was left in me. He slightly tilted his head and said, " You were stuttering like a choking chicken in front of whatever his name is. And here you are holding your ground like a brave little warrior".
"Well, I guess you make me confident", I replied.
He smirked at my words with amusement gleaming in his eyes.
"Are you flirting with me, Princess?" He asked
I scoffed and replied, "In you wildest dreams!"
He took a step forward, closing the distance between us and crushing my imaginary boundary. He bent down and leaned in until I could feel his hot breath on my cheek and whispered, "All my dreams are wild, Princess."
