Yash pov

Why?

Why did she do it? even she looked sick by her behaviour?

Not that I didn't like it, I just wanted it to be more sincere, I wanted her to do it as if she meant it. But she didn't, she just had to make it look like a give and take session and then she vanished. Like nothing happened.

Guilelessly the way her lips touched my face was one of the most captivating moments of my life, I just wished it ricocheted in her eyes, or maybe I was asking too much. I didn't know what I was going to do when we see each other on Monday, I contemplated whether to bring it up while we are at it or I should just act as if nothing happened.

Daisy' pov

I was over-prepared by Monday morning, in fact, I had packed all I needed to blow Yash's mind away, though I expect a halfhearted reaction from him, I liked to imagine otherwise.

Monday morning started well but weirdly the winds started to blow ferociously and all the dust were actively roving about causing chaos soon enough, it began to rain the devil and pitchforks, don't get me wrong, I loved rainy days, I usually wished it'll rain on my birthday every year and I like to think I was born on a rainy day even though I wasn't. But this was not the most pleasing moment to rain >< I looked at the sky expectingly but it didn't look like it was gonna stop very soon, I guess all my preparation will go to waste then. By the time the rain decided to stop, Half the time I was meant to spend there was gone, I gave up, I just wanted to curl up my bed and sleep, it's probably the best weather for a deep sleep anyway.

I was about to take off my clothes to change when my mum knocked.

"Hey terms, aren't you going"

"Nah, they're probably done anyway, just gonna nap for a while"

She shrugged but still said" If I were you, I'd still go, I mean it's not like it rained in your house alone" then she left.

I knew what she meant by that, my mum is a woman of few words, she leaves sentences open but she's giving an order, I packed my bags and soon rushed out of the house, I knew what catastrophe could ensue if she walked in on me for a second time.

On getting to school, Mrs Sonya didn't look peeved about me showing up late, she just directed me to where Yash was and told me to act diligently, I just smiled while internally rolling my eyes.

This time we weren't staying in the secluded library, we were staying with Yash's siblings and a teacher was temporarily there with us. I guess today wasn't really one to look forward to.

We both acted neutrally about what happened yesterday. Personally, I decided to be a bit restrained. I wasn't that good with juniors, in fact, I wasn't approachable at all, I had this poker face everywhere I went and I wasn't ready to change it. Instead, I watched how Yash and his siblings relate and I grinned at myself. They had this not so perfect relationship, the one that could be used in a rom-com movie. It was a scenery indeed, from time to time I chuckled, it was like they knew exactly what button to trample to get on his nerves and when to do it. For the first time in years, I actually wished of having a younger sibling. The thoughts soon withered away when Yash became mad, he was just about to punish them all and then afterwards report them to his (their) mum which they all feared, Is there really anyone who wasn't a little bit spooked by her?

I knew I had to jump in this time, I figured they were just tryna make him lose his cool and obviously it appeared to be working. As I tried to put everywhere in order, Yash stood there smiling, this actually earned him a scowl but then he spoke chortling" It's nothing actually you just look really good at this"

Then and there I knew he was teasing, I snared at him and continued what I was 'good at' and he just chuckled, "what the hell is wrong with him" I thought "I mean I'm just tryna save him"

I decided to look at him once more and it appeared he was staring at me already, I blushed and turned my neck lickety-split. I could've sworn I heard a crack. I mean he just caught me staring, but hey, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to get a look at what my mate was doing, is that a crime. I reddened deeper in response.

Ack! what's wrong with my body?

The whole day ran by smoothly afterwards and we were soon about to go home. I guess there was no pecking today but little did I know I was wrong.

I was about to leave when one of the teachers called me and told me to help her with some stuff to the changing room, I told her to leave the materials alone and that I was going that way anyway(I lied) so she thanked me and scurried away. I dropped my bags and picked up the equipment, surprisingly they were not as heavy as I'd expected and this made me hasten my movements, on getting to the changing room, I decided to arrange properly and not just dump it the front door. After a while of arranging, I dusted my palm and smiled, I mentally patted my head saying that's a job well done. I turned to leave and saw Yash at my back.

"Hey" I stumbled backwards, "What are you doing here", He quickly grabbed me to prevent me from falling while answering"Oh, a..." he trailed off, "s-st-staff told me to come to help you out"

I looked back grinning, I mean I've done it already, but Yash began to come closer, I stood my ground and looked into his eyes, ignoring the internal voice that kept screaming"get the hell out of here"

After getting close enough, he whispered, close your eyes. I did that too, internally I thought I was crazy but just then, he placed a warm solid peck on my cheek.
