chapter 5

Anshika exclaimed in joy keeping down her phone. Siya was coming to her place to know of what was taught in school. She was excited to speak everything out to her and danced in her room. She excitedly brought her in her room, making Siya startled of her behavior. "What's all this excitement about?", she asked confused."Will tell you everything!""Go on!"Anshika narrated the whole incident that happened at school and that they agreed on going out together someday.Siya cupped her mouth on hearing all Anshika told and excitedly hugged her. "Are you seriously going to bunk school?""I don't know, but I'm thinking on it.""It's fine if you skip for one day."Siya winked at her best friend.Siya kept planning about Anshika going out with Ruhan and teased her throughout the while she was at her place. She even selected a dress from her wardrobe for Anshika to wear for the day.The next day at school Anshika found Ruhan to be waiting for her and exchanged glances. He whispered her to meet him at the same place they went the other day.While Anshika waited for Ruhan to arrive, he slipped a chocolate through her hands from behind.Anshika stood blushing."Will someone only keep blushing today?"Ruhan whispered in her ears to which she felt goosebumps on her hands when his lips touched her ears, which were quite visible as Ruhan pressed his hands along her and she breathed heavily and quickly got apart.Ruhan removed his hands as well and both stood blushing at each other. "Tell me, you called me here?" Anshika asked to break the silence."Just so that I can give that to you."He said pointing towards the chocolate in her hand.She stood smiling."Let's go to class."He said already walking towards the class, while Anshika kept standing looking at the ground and smiling, both excited and confused. Ruhan looked back to find her still standing and ran to her."Do you plan to bunk today?", he asked quite flirting.Laughing at him they walked along.Anshika called up Siya in the evening to share of her feelings with her. She was both excited and confused at the same time."Did you speak to Ruhan about this?", she asked."No, what if that would have been rude?""Don't think much, just dive in."Keeping aside her phone she tossed in her bed thinking of Ruhan suddenly when her phone rang. The screen displayed an unknown number. Squinting she picked up the call."Hello Miss Anshika." Startled by the voice she sat up."Ruhan!"She exclaimed in happiness."Are you sure it is Ruhan?""Yes, stupid! Where from did you get my number?""So my girl thinks I can't get her number if she doesn't give it to me?"Anshika skipped a beat on hearing what he said."Tell me what you had to say.""When are we going out?""You seem to be quite excited?"She teased him."It seems as though you're not. I clearly saw it in your face.""So someone claims to read my expressions now?""Indeed."Anshika talked lying on her bed with Ruhan for some more time and decided upon their meeting outside."I'm planning to propose to you on that day." Ruhan said quite cutely.Anshika blushed and wished him a good night before disconnecting the call. Her excitement didn't let her sleep throughout the night and she fell asleep only before her alarm was to ring. She got up later and was not to school on time.Walking in through the corridor, she peeked into her class to find the class had already began. The teacher noticed her hiding behind the door. Even Ruhan noticed her."Miss Anshika Srivastav, you don't need to hide behind the door."Anshika stepped inside the class a bit ashamed.
