“Uh! Thank God, it is a national holiday tomorrow. I can breathe in relief,” Kristen mumbled, dropping beside me.Our bus was on halt waiting for other students to get in. I sat on the window seat, supporting my head with my hand and staring at the space. Even though it was a holiday the next day, I was not happy at all. “Was it because of seeing Newt with the girl I dislike? Was it because even after being with me he didn’t pay much attention during lunch break? Or was it because I was not going to see him the next day?”Whatever the reason was I was not able to have the answer. When Kristen slapped my lap, I flinched.“Ahh! Krist, stop it…” “You stop staring

“Did I really upset her with my words? I was just...” he questioned in a solemn tone, glancing towards her house.“Once you meet her don’t forget to apologize,” I suggested walking ahead.Walking alongside, he questioned, “So, you do have a crush on Newt?” Biting my lower lips I thought for a while before answering, “um! Maybe.”“What is that with maybe?”“Well, I have never been through these emotions before. It is totally strange for me. Whenever I see him the feeling that I get is completely different.”“Different like how?” “

 In that crowded area, I had no idea why I wanted him to be there. The moment the person stepped out of the car, I was awestruck. Without moving my gaze away from him, I called out in my stiff voice, “Krist, come here.” “Prisha, don’t disturb. I am…”  I didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence and pulled her towards the edge. Then pointing at the parking lot, I mumbled, “Now what would you like to say, baby?” “Wait! What?” She pulled down her sunglasses and looking from above the glasses murmured, “Why does that person look like Aster?” I hit her head saying, “that person looks like Aster because he is Aster.” “Not just him. Denise, Sam, and Riddle are also

“Isn’t it weird Aster and his group were not in the corridor to greet us today?” Kristen said, placing her bag on the desk.“Um! Kind of. But let’s not worry about someone else’s boyfriend,” I replied, plunging on the chair.Suddenly Kristen began to sniff looking around.“What happened? Why are you sniffing like a dog?” I questioned in surprise.“Nothing, I just think something is burning,” she mocked, giggling.“Kristen!” I rolled my eyes.“They are not even in their classroom. Where the hell are they?” she mumbled gazing outside the window.I f

“What… What is it?” I stammered.“Um!” scratching the corner of his forehead, he mumbled, “That can wait for a while. First tell me, are you taking part in anything?”“Taking part?” I knitted my brows, not comprehending him.“I mean at an event. Are you taking part?”“She is not. We have decided to be in the audience,” suddenly Tarry pulled me aside and said, before I could say anything.“Why are you not taking part in anything? Seeing your friend dancing, I thought you were going along with her,” he said, and pressed his lips against his teeth.“Nop, I don’t know anything about dance. I can’t get even one move properly and end up making Kristen mad. So, it is better I stay back. Besides, my mom will not allow me to dance since I am recovering from my illness.”“Hmm!” Aster rubbed his chin and after some time of silence, he asked, “What about ramp walk? Will she allow you to do that?”Widening my eyes, I declined sharply, “God, ramp walk? You must be kidding me.”“Why?” as he asked, I
