I woke up to the blaring buzz of my alarm and looked the mirror. My school hairstyle ribbons undone like i fought a dragon in my sleep. I brushed my teeth, showered, put on my uniform and my mother did my hair.
I was rushing breakfast because time's running out and I shout "Maaa, auto grandpa's coming!!" My mom shouts back. "You always waste time, Rohitha!!" While preparing my 8th grade sis (that advice was helpful. Thank you).
I grab my 5 kilograms backpack (Daily gym workout) and lunch bag and rush out of the door like I was in the olympics, and sit in the auto with my friend and her sister. I hurriedly wave at my mom and settle down. Strategy by Twice is in my mind. Its like my brain is saying "Hey, lets replay this song over and over until she loses her mind."
There was heavy traffic today. A auto was veerryy close, I turn and brushed lips with a BOY!? He looks at me and smirks and lean in, and give a peck on MY LIPS?!!. He adds, "You're too quick to kiss strangers" while smirking. I asks "EXCUSE ME???!!". Then that auto departs and he WINKS AT ME!! "IDIOT!!" I shout. My friend who is a Muslim says, "Only 6 months of 10th grade then 11th, are you ready?" I smile, "I'm always ready."
I get off the auto while carrying my rice bag (it's my backpack) and climbing the stairs to the THIRD FLOOR!!! I was talking with my friend about projects and stuff and cursing that today was a full day, it was Saturday. I enter the classroom, my friends are all saying "Good Morning, Rohitha" I walk upto the board and write the date and day as I'm the tallest.
The bell rings, we all go down for the prayer, we all see if all the teachers came or not because we love to get one period off. Again, we climb up until third floor, it's a daily walking routine. But that cocky, disgustingly handsome guy can't get off my mind.
My teacher appoints me to lead the class today because the class monitor talks, LITERALLY, HE TALKS!! I politely accept and everyone wants me to the monitor. I share my lunch in lunch break, my friends all love the curries my mom makes. But that guy, he- forget about him. I can't.
We played games, joked with our teachers and teased eachother, the whole class is chaotic like me, like who asks "How was god born?" And "Who invented homework?" I was like, on the inside " WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??!!!" School's over and me, my friend and her sister hop on the auto. We joked about what happened at school.
The traffic's back and then AGAIN an auto was suppeerr close, I turn, this time calculating the space. I look, him, again. This time he just smirks and just watches me, I glare.
"What's up, Miss Hot-headed." He says, "I'm not an angry bird!" I reply.
He says "Well, today totally defines it."
"Hey Mr. I kiss strangers, keep your mouth to yourself." I snap, smiling like an angel.
"You're impossible" he growls.
"I know" I smirk. The auto parts. But I forgot to ask his name so I could curse it and do some black magic on it. I come home, do my homework, study, and scroll through Pinterest and Instagram but he is still on my mind. I open Whatsapp to text my bestie and cousin sis, Mira to tell about what happened today.
"Hiii!" I text
She responds instantly, "Heelllooo, got any stories at school?"
"I have one. So, I was going to school, usual, boring. But suddenly, in traffic, I turned and brushed lips with a BOY!!"
"WHAAATTTTTT???" She exclaims.
"I knowww, and he had the NERVE to meet me again in the evening and call me 'Hot-headed'." I text.
"Okay... what the hell! By the way, I gotta sleep, we'll talk about it later." She responds.
"Okay" I close Whatsapp and phone.
I can't sleep until I thought about the kiss. I fell asleep faster than I ever did.
How's the chapter, guys?
I know it's short, it's my first time. So...
I hope you love it!!
Lots of love from me!!
