chapter 18

The classes soon began for the eleventh graders. A fresh fragrance filled the atmosphere, as they walked in with their new designed uniforms inside the school campus. Anshika and Siya met each other near the school gates. Ruhan and Aditya also came in there seeing the girls.Ruhan and Anshika got excited on seeing each other and stood looking into each other's eyes. Siya as usual greeted them both and they returned their greetings.As they stood near the gates, Ankit made his way to the courtyard when Anshika pushed Siya on her back. "What's this, Anshu?", Siya said pretending not to know Ankit."You girls have gone mad probably."They laughed at each other and back at class, Siya pouted on Anshika pushing her when Ankit came."Don't dare you say that to Ruhan!""I won't!"The girls talked before the teacher came.Ruhan and Aditya sat together in their class and as Aditya kept his bag on the table, Ruhan put his hands on Aditya's."What's it?""When will you speak to her?""What!""What?""I'll speak to her later. It's been so many days after which we are meeting.""Yeah, I get it. So when do you plan to talk to her?"Ruhan teased Aditya for a while after which the teacher arrived."You're not talking about this to Anshika.""Yeah, fine."In the science class, Ankit sat a few benches behind Anshika and Siya's. "I can't even see him properly!", Siya said pouting and Anshika laughed."Tell me how should I start a conversation with him, I can't just walk up to him and talk!""Ask him for some help in study.""Tell me something better.""Talk to him online."Siya thought over the matter for the next few periods and finally agreed to approach online. It was lunch break and Siya sat in class admiring Ankit while Anshika went out to meet Ruhan. "How's are your classes going?""Don't even ask! It's so difficult from the first day itself!""It's the same. We haven't been out together for a long time, let's go for a movie.""That sounds very much exciting!""So shall I book tickets for you, me, Aditya and Siya?""Why them? Is it not a date Ruhan?""Uh, nothing like that, but I was wondering that we haven't been out for a long time.""Alright! I'll ask Siya to join us."Back in class Anshika sat excitedly beside Siya."What's it?""We'll be going out for a movie, you and Aditya are also accompanying.""That sounds extremely well!""Doesn't it? Yeah, I'll tell Ruhan for it!""Yes it would be fun!"In the evening Anshika called up Ruhan to inform about the day's plan and they agreed to go out on the weekend.Ruhan called up Aditya after disconnecting the call to tell him about the day's plan."Hey, bro! The movie plan is final!""Seriously? Is she coming too?""Someone sounds very excited!""Hey, it's not that, you know.", Aditya laughed shyly."I didn't know you could be so shy."He teased Aditya a bit more and laughed and loved Aditya for his talks on crush and love. Ruhan was seeing a different Aditya, while Aditya was experiencing new feelings for Siya.
