“Do you guys have something going on?” asked Vaidehi one day, out of the blue.
“What?”
“Do you guys have something going on?” She repeated before adding, “Punit and you?”
“What do you mean?” Ankita was surprised.
“Well, people are talking.” She shrugged.
“About what?”
“About you guys... that you are together most of the time and pretty much have... you know... something going on.” As much as she was open and friendly with Ankita, she was cautious enough to not cross the line. As of now, she wasn’t sure how she’d take being romantically paired up with a guy and stuff.
“In the sense? That we guys are dating and stuff?” Ankita made a sour face.
“Well, yeah, kind of.” Vaidehi shrugge

Anki’s next meeting with Punit was, well... awkward. The very sight of him reminded her of all the rubbish that was floating around school which she bet he’d already heard of. She only hoped that she hadn’t done anything that made her look like a desperate lovesick looney to him. What if he really thought that I was so desperately crushing on him, bad enough to convince him to belt out a love song for me? Eww! Cringe factor, 100%!As for Punit, he’d heard it too and he wondered what her take could be. In fact, some of the boys and even the girls had already interrogated him, and he’d smoothly denied any such thing. But, coming to think of it, he already had a crush on her, he only wished that she never got a hint of it because what if she never felt the same? That could end their friendship and he really didn’t want that. Things were going really well as of now.He noticed that Anki too w

The bell sounded and Punit’s heart thumped hard in his chest. It was fight or flight. As far as ‘fight’ was concerned, he was outnumbered.In one quick move, he attempted to bolt through them to safe haven.They smoothly botched his attempt.“Whoa-whoa-whoa! Where do you think you’re going, huh? Huh!!?” Sibal barked at him while the cronies held him in place.“The bell... the bell...” Punit was sweaty and breathless.“The bell. What bell?” Sibal teased him. He was inches away from Punit now.“The bell. N-N-Need to get to class...” Punit struggled to stay calm.“Or else what? Hmm?” Without any warning, Sibal threw an ear-splitting slap and flung him hard against a wall.Punit collapsed to the floor, reeling from the collision.&n

When Ankita got a grip on herself, she let go of Punit and trudged a bit away from them to be alone for a while. Punit watched her intently as she stood with her back to them. All of this felt unreal. The brutal assault Sibal and his cronies belted out on him, Ankita’s rampage on the bullies and now this... Something rolled over in his guts, infuriating him. His hatred for Mr. Shah had reached an all-new level. How could the man be such a coward, such a puppet as to punish the victims instead of the culprits, and that too, in the most painful and humiliating manner? It was then that he realized why his back hurt as if scalded with boiling water. Mr. Shah had whipped him like a horse. Anyhow, he was glad that she didn’t have to take that. Despite knowing that she was furious and needed time to cool off, he went ahead and joined her. Cautiously, he stole a glance before meeting her angry glare.

That day, there was an uproar in the Principal’s office, so much that the entire school kept mum and listened to the conversation.Mr. Ratan, Raj and the other parents could be heard roasting the Principal.“Who gave you the bloody right to lay hands on my daughter? Did I!!? This is NOT why I’ve sent my girl here. Get that straight!!! If you have any issues with her, call me up. That’s what I’m here for!!!” Mr. Ratan’s angry voice rang from the Principal’s office.“Teach your girl to behave and then maybe no would lay hands on her,” followed Mr. Shah’s response.“Teach your master’s son first. IF you have the spine! IF you have any bit of self-respect!” Mr. Ratan barked back.The victims of Sibal’s bullying episode – Punit, Ankita, Edwin, Bruno and Jyotsana huddled outsid

After a week’s hiatus, Ankita trudged through the gates of her new school. She adjusted the weight of her bag on her shoulder, her cold, sweaty hand wringing its strap as she did. Her head and chest thumped alike as she ran her eyes around the strange surroundings. Though the school was pretty young, it was massive with a ground that could pass for a football stadium.Unfamiliar places and situations always made her feel uncomfortable. The never-ending stretch of grounds with no proper direction didn’t help either. Small, comprehensible pl

Ankita was jittery as she strolled to the grounds and lined up with the rest of the girls. She glanced at the sea of heads before her. As usual, she was the last in the row, thanks to her height. She was taller than most girls and it seemed that she wouldn’t stop growing. Many a time, she has pondered over how tall she would be by the time she hit twenty. The chatter was deafening, and she wondered what they had so much to talk about! Unlike others, she could barely start or keep up with a conversation.

Punit sat in his car; his tall frame stretched out in the driver's seat. He ran his fingers through his silky hair and adjusted his soft, kind eyes on the camera. "I'm gay," he said, pausing for a moment. "Well, not really. That’s what the others think. If you ask me why, then, let me tell you, it took me a couple of years to figure that out." Punit frowned and leaned back against his seat as the traffic around him ground to a halt. He decided to go live on his YouTube channel to speak his mind. "Apparently, people have this notion that guys into fashion designing, or the nursing profession are by default gays," he continued, shaking his head in disbelief. "I know, right? Crazy! I don't even know where they got that idea from! And maybe I'll never find out. But hey, you don't see any of them hitting on other boys. At least most of them. And even if they do, so what? That's their choice. That doesn't make nursing or fashion designing the official course for gays." Punit glanced

Let me just find a parking space.Talk about luck, all spaces have been taken up, as usual. Now finding one is going to be a pain in the ass. Oh damn, here we go again with the language. Oh, thank God! There’s one.At the store now. Man, I love the blast of cold air from the air conditioner on my face each time I walk through this door. Is there anyone else like this or is it just me?“Good evening, how are you today?” That was the store manager. He kind of knew me pretty well as I stopped by often.“Awesome like always, you?”“Wonderful day here!”“Perfect
