chapter 6

Anshika had never been such a centre of attention  which made her pounce getting uncomfortable. After a great lot of scolding she was permitted to take her seat.Anshika sat getting reserved and didn't feel like talking, although being excited the whole night to tell her every detail of hers and Ruhan's conversation. "Hey cheer up Anshika!", Siya whispered to her while the class continued.Anshika however stuck on with her gloomy face and took down notes from what the teacher said.Siya continued speaking to her and finally said,"Do you know what Ruhan was saying today?"Anshika shifted her eyes towards Siya and she winked."He was getting so dramatic when you were not coming. And he also guessed you might turn up late to class since you probably couldn't sleep last night!"Anshika blushed on hearing Siya."What happened last night?"Anshika blushed more."Ruhan called me up! We talked a lot and even he asked me to go out with him and we planned something."As soon as she completed her sentence the bell rang and Siya led out a low scream and hugged her.Anshika looked at Ruhan blushing, he smiled back at her, which felt the cutest thing to her. She got fluttery.In the recess without saying Anshika headed towards the back garden, followed by Ruhan."Seems like I've already snatched your night's sleep." Ruhan said with some style."Ohh you think so? What if I say Siya did so?"They both laughed and Ruhan again slipped a chocolate through her hands."Another chocolate?""Don't you like chocolates?""I do! But that's so much of....."Anshika couldn't complete her sentence when Ruhan put his finger on her lips.Her cheeks went red and Ruhan observed her with love."You look so cute when you blush!", he teased her making her blush more. "So, are you ready to come tomorrow?""Certainly!""I will wait for you behind the main road, and from there we will start our lovely day."Anshika nodded looking nervous."You seem to be so nervous. Are you not ready to come with me?""No, it's not that. I'm just worried if we get caught?""That won't happen."Anshika took her seat in class looking thoughtful."Are you thinking about tomorrow?", Siya asked putting her hand on Anshika's shoulder."Yeah, I'm so worried to get caught.""Nothing of that sort will happen. And you need not worry, or else you'll spoil the day.""Yeah, you're right."Dressed in her uniform, Anshika got out of her home the next day with trembling and sweaty hands. She also tripped over the stairs. The whole while she travelled in the auto till school, she dwelled over thoughts. Getting down the auto, as she was about to walk upto Ruhan she was pulled from behind. For a second she held on to her breath. "How stupid of you to do that!", she exclaimed and slapped his shoulders."What? I just wanted to see you like that!"Wiping her sweat from her forehead she stood against the wall."You haven't complimented me on my looks yet?" Ruhan stood pouting."Ohh, you look such like a clown!", Anshika said laughing, her eyes not able to hide her love for his looks."I know, I know," he said turning his head."C'mmon, you look handsome and cute as always!""Ohh, so do I look cute always? Since when?""No more comments! Now let me change my clothes."Anshika and Ruhan walked towards a public restroom where he stood holding her schoolbag while she went inside to change her clothes."Someone looks prettier than ever today!" Ruhan complimented her as soon as she got out. She smiled putting her loose hanging hair behind her ears."So, where are we going now?""Let's go to the mall and we can watch a movie and then visit the food court or do you prefer cafes?""Anywhere, I don't mind going to either."On reaching the mall, they were glared at by the security personnel at the entrance, which made Anshika more nervous. They walked inside the mall together and Ruham went to purchase tickets for the movie.
