Aarvi's POV

After reaching my bed FINALLY.... I threw my bag at a side and layed on my bed.... And suddenly.... Manaya came to me.... " Time for evening Chai biscuit... Chalo mess mei"

Not again!!! "Tum log bethte ni ho kya thori der ek jagh??? " I asked while taking my cup from shelf...

"Abhi toh aaj hi school khule hain isiliye thora kam chala rahe" She said in warning tone....

"My goodness..." I replied in exhausted tone and We Went to mess..... Again in line after doing head counting..... Ugh!!!

When we reached mess.... A Student was serving the tea and biscuit.... When I reached near the counter I realized it's no one but DHRUV.....

Flashback....

Dhruv: Heyiee!! Kesa laga hamare school mei aakar phir

Aarvi: Hmm abhi tak toh acha hi... Btw aapki intro??

Dhruv: ek mahan insaan Shakespeare ne kaha tha "naam mei kya rakha hai"

Ufff ider koi seedhe se jawab kyu ni de sakta... Sasta Shakespeare kahi ka......

Aarvi : It gives us identity We are nothing without are name.....

Dhruv: log mujhe bina naam bataye hi jaan jaate hai tajub ki baat hai aap ni pehchan paaye abhi tak

Haan bhai tu Salman khan ka rishtedaar toh hai!!!

Aarvi : haan haan bilkul bilkul legends fir....

Dhruv: Anyways Am Dhruv... Dhruv gupta... Naam toh suna hogaa

Ohhh achaa... Class topper janab....!!! Inhe meri yaad kidr se aa gai...

Aarvi: Ohhh..... Ji ji bilkul suna hai...

Dhruv: Yeah everyone knows me...

Akdhoo kahi ka😑

Suddenly someone shaked me...
"Aarvi.... It's your turn.... "

"Ohh yeah..." I said coming out of my thoughts......

I stretched my cup towards him and he looked at me with smile face.... I looked at him with raising my eyebrow.... Is this a genuine smile or "ab batata hoon teko beta" Wali smile....

He poured a cup full of tea in my mug.... Abey.... Ghayee thori hoon...!!! And gasped
He asked " Need more??? "
Haan mere sar par daal dee😑

And I poured back some of the tea from my cup back to his jug.....

"Wapis ni daalte" He said softly

I gave him smile back which clearly says "chal chal meko mat seekha"

Obviously muh par ni bola... Warna woh wohi jug uthakar fenkta.....

We used to fight and argue over the silliest topics on WhatsApp groups.....

Can you imagine We used to discuss no no argue over things like
~modi ji ne duniya ke liye kya kiya
~konsa scientist acha hai
~kiski Discovery better hai
~kon zada bada space ka fan hai...
~even ki konsi movie konsa song acha hai....
~konsa teacher acha padhata hai

We literally use to fight over such things till 2 am... 3 am... And still with no conclusion because we both were equally stubborn... No one accepts ki woh galat hai.... Phew!! Head ache.....

And then I noticed Sharik was standing straight in front of me in boys line and was glaring at Dhruv....... Like he would kill him the first chance he get.....

I too looked at him for mere seconds and then looked away....
Meko kya... 👀 and started sipping from my cup....

This mahaan chai was feeling like nothing but boil water... But I was too exhausted and hungry too so I drank it all.........

After that We all made lines house wise in front of aur hostel for evening attendance.......

Our PT teacher Suman mam... Welcomed us all and gave us motivational (boring) speech for half an hour which feels like ages......

The line of ants walking near me were looking more interesting....!!!

After eternity she said as you all just came back to school premises..... No sports class for today!! Go and clean your hostels and bed.... NEATLY. .. (She gave too much stress on the word neatly) but who cares....

All I wanted to do is lay on the bed and sleep haah!!!! Finally......

And we went back to aur dormatories....

There I finally streched my back on my bed for some time......

Thanku Bhagwan ji aapko bhi muh par tars aaya....

Bhagwan ji be like haan haan beta teko hi shokk chadha hua tha....

Bass na bhagwan ji ab aap toh aese mat kaho....!!!

And he gave me "aage aage dekho hota hai kya" Smile...

(Nahi guys pagal ni hoon delusional hoon😩)

And after some time... A group of girls came to me.....
One of them said with a smile "Hieee am Nidhi"

I sat on my bed folding my legs.... "Heyy!! " And smiled back....

They all sat there and at near by bed..... They introduced themselves with me....
Nidhi was cute and Friendly one...... She looks like a baby actually to be specific... Short hair with cute smile....

Other one was Kritika mature one..... She gives motherly vibes....

Then supriyaa... Topper of our section and my competitor... But she's not egoistic and rude like That Akdhoo Dhruveshwar.... She's kind and helping......

And lavanya, Rashi and Ishika.... They all were of green house.....

We chattered for sometime and then topic of toppers came.... And of course... Here we don't discuss that mendak... Dhruveshwar.... Is not possible!!!

Rashi told he is class topper since 7th and favorite of many teachers... Because of his great thinking ability and knowledge.... But he is egoistic tooo..... You know he never even said sorry to anyone.....

Dhruv: Achaa sorry agar bura laga ho toh I didn't mean to hurt you

Aarvi: I know I know what you meant!!!

Dhruv: ufff really dil se sorry...

Aarvi: so it means you are agreeing with me that Modi ji is not the best prime minister.....!!!

Dhruv: NOT AT ALL... your point is baseless...

Aarvi: Ahhh I knew it... Bhaad mei jao fr....

Dhruv: you are really a stupid

Aarvi: howwwww!!! You called me what???? And you are arrogant mendak kahi ke.....

Ok am agree but not to first point but second one...... smirk

"Haan ab toh Aarvi bhi aa gai hai... Competition badh jayga" Kritika said jokingly....

I too gave a nervous laugh!!! I get nervous on such topics I don't know why but Ufff!! And I don't give a damn about That mendak....
Just wanted to break his meaning less ego..... The satisfaction I'll get after that would be uffffff!!!!!!

After that We went to mess again for dinner ka atyachaar......... I was not able to eat that..... Pani mei daal terrr rahi thi..... Roti par itna aata tha ki uski nayi roti ban sakti thi..... And sabzi ke naam par pata ni kya de diya😩
Mene bahr bethe kutte ko dala he gave me "apna bhi koi standard hai" Look.....

(Boarding school students can relate)

And uske baad fr wohi attendece... Kitni attendence lete hai yeh log.... Like nahi bhaag raha koi... And after a decade........
We went back to our bed....

What a day!!!! Aage sehne ki shakti dena bhagwaan jii...

Bhagwan ji: mene tera message seen hi nahi karna

🙄🙄

Haaa!!! Then I looked around..... Like me there was one more newbie.... Mei toh khair new jesi lag hi nahi rahi..... But I thought.... Chalo uska srrr khaya jay!!!

I went to her bed.... Her bed wad too neat... Books and clothes were well arranged.....
Her name is Shashi Rajput....
I had talked to her too (online)

"Hey" I said her smiling... And sat on her bed.... Without asking.... I know I know puchna chahiye... But itna chalta hai!!

She gave me a look and smiled back.... "Hiee"

"Kesa laga school" I asked for starting conversation.....

Ok ok am also a new one... Mera right nahi yeh puchne ka... But!!! Come on....

"Ahmm theek hi hai" She said

I laughed "bass bass I can understand kitna theek laga"

She too laughed hesitately....

"Ek secret batau??? Muje bhi utna hi theek laga jitna tumhe" I said to her laughing.....

Pakka soch rahi hogi yeh ladki pagal hai....!!!

Anyways... She was a little introvert kind of person... But a good listener... I talked to her for literally two hours... I told her about my family... My last school my parents my siblings... My lockdown time...... My hobbies Once I start talking to anyone then there is no end........ She too listened my bakk bakk..... Without complaining... Bass yahi chahiye tha....
*Nervous laugh*

She too have some same interests like me.... Okk guys vibes match ho gai....

Uska srr khane ke baad.... Finally now am feeling sleepy...... I said her good night... And also offered.... "Koi bhi help chahiye hogi do ask me... Saath milkar kisi aur se puchege"

She said smiling "ok ok zaroor"

And then I went back to my bed... Almost every one was sleeping..... I did little bit chit chat with bhagwan jii!!!

Haan bhai haan abhi bhi nahi thaki mei...kya karu ab aadat se majboor......

And after half an hour I said Ok Bhagwan ji Good night ab sone do meko kal subh jaldi uthna hai..... Bye bye....!!!

And fell asleep....!!
