After 1st sem exams and relief of 3 days, the St. Xavier's school is going to reopen.
***********
At Siya's place,
The house is at chaos once again after 3 days to holidays, enjoyed by children of the house. With the buzzing of alarms and scolding of mother's the children of the house was getting ready for the school.
Breakfast table was being set by the ladies of the house. Men and children were rushing to dinning table so they won't get late to reach their office, college and school. In this chaos our Siya was coming to breakfast table with her as usual chirping nature, ready in navy blue skirt and white shirt with navy blue blazer as her uniform, one long braid with some baby hairs framing her face.
She was descending the stairs with her brothers brisking and chattering. Elders by the time already sitted and talks were going on.

Today after 3 freaking days of holiday's the school is again going to start. As soon as I got ready I picked my bag and started going to breakfast table as it's our family time. As I got out my room, I saw Gapu my baby brother(Rohan), we wish each other morning kisses (that's our routine) we walk towards the stairs there I met my big bro(Armaan)who wishes me "Good morning doll" and so I did with a hug "Good morning bhaiya". But then I saw most annoying person to me in the house the Rishi Mehra my brother coming towards us there you go.
(S:Siya, R:Rishi)
S :Ah! why did you pull my braids ?
R :oh but I didn't.(With a smug smile)
S :You !!! ( with that I started to ran behind him to beat him for sure)
Soon we reach the dinning area with our little race of tom-Jerry, and bhaiya and Gapu following and laughing at us. After reaching the breakfast table we wished everyone and everyone wished us too. Soon the breakfast started as we took sit on our chairs, we help ourselves as in the family don't like servants to serve them. Breakfast table was buzzing with chats of business, show talks of ladies of the house and our talks of school friends and teachers. As soon as we finished our breakfast we bid bye to everyone in the family, as Armaan bhaiya was coming to drop us at the school. Gapu ,I and Rishi were going to the car parking and bhaiya was following us with him on phone call, gods knows whose on other end who calls him this early everyday.
Soon we were standing next to car, and Rishi bhai squinting his eyes and said " Why are you standing against the passenger seat, I'm going to seat here move to the back seat understand. " I replied to him with a sarcastic smile, " No monkey, I'm going to sit in the front so please come out of your dreams, morning rise long ago and still you're dreaming..."
Rishi bhai replied being furious, "I'm your elder brother and you called me monkey?, you penguin, you cat...."
I replied to him in same manner, " Yes you are a monkey so what ..., and what you called a penguin and a cat , oh please just shut up you crocodile huh, don't ever call me those names UNDERSTAND!!!." at the last I shouted which got Sahil bhaiya's attention, O shoot I'm gone.
Rishi bhai still going to reply me with sass but before that bhaiya interrupted him and said, " This is way you both are addressing to each other and brisking like 5 old kid, even Rohan is more matured than you both now stop quarreling and sit on the back seat, come Rohan let me drop you to school.." Rohan went sit on front seat with the teasing smile and our mouth fell open, watching him teasing us.
Leaving no other option, we both sat at back seat still blaming each other through scary eyes.

Similarly the chaos of were also going on at everyone's house's, but not in the Aditya's home as his mother is teacher at a different school so she already has left and his father being a owner of security service company always left early in the morning. So Aditya always used to do his own work. Similarly today also he was eating breakfast alone and got ready to off for school by bicycle as his house was nearby to the school.
***************
But the case was different in Shekhawat Mansion, everyone was already on the breakfast table, with Rajshir ji on the head chair in her dominating aura. But everyone's concern wasn't her, but the little soul sitting just next to her bade papa, Tara Shekhawat as usual quiet and reserved. With the defeated look everyone started their breakfast in silence but Tarun was not the one who gets defeated easily so he speaks, " Oh no! Today we also has to submit the assignment ..... what should I do? I didn't completed."
After listening to this everyone's attention turns towards him, but before anyone scolds him Tara's fanatic voice blooms in the mention, "What assignments are you talking about bhai? I didn't remember any ..... is there any .... oh on what should I do you have say this earlier na ..... " saying this she almost on the verge of crying but before she could cry her bade papa hug her and started comforting her by saying, " it's okay, princess I'll talk to teacher don't worry and don't cry bacha, hmm." And turns to his face towards Tarun and said, " If you knew about it how didn't tell her , atleast she could have completed her not like you monkey who always lacks of in his work, now b'cuz of you my princess is crying. "
"Are, bade papa I was joking, just to make your princess a little worried who knew she will start crying, I'm so sorry Tara-Sitara,
Plzz smile a little before bade papa beat me up nicely plzzz." Saying this he looked towards Tara with puppy eyes which melted Tara's heart and she started smiling which made everyone smile too but then she speaks , " I'll smile, but..... plzz don't make such faces you look like monkey in real." With that she giggles and everyone else laughs full heartedly except one who was Tarun in his attempt to make his sister talk he got roasted badly.
But deep down in heart he was happy too, to see his sister giggling after whole two years with a real smile, b'cuz in past two years whenever she smiles it's for sake of her loved ones.
Vivaansh is also happy seeing his beloved sister smiling and giggling after so many days,but he is also for one another reason to be secret from everyone is he will be able to Siya after 3 freaking days of holiday's. He was already ready in his white shirt with naive blue blazer, and pants. He always stands in the school corridor against his classroom until he gets the glimpse of Siya. Nobody knows about his secret admiration until the starting of 10th std b'cuz at that time his friends got noticed his behavior and pursuing him they got to know.

Finally after 3 fu*king days, I'm going to see her beautifully face. This thought only making heart jumping in happiness, I can't wait to see her. Why is time running so slow? With that same thought I checked the time in watch for nth time since morning. I thought no one is noticing me but bhaiya caught me as I glance around to look at everyone. And what catches my attention was him smirking at me, oh no! I'm doomed. Soon everyone's breakfast was completed we were leaving for school in car with driver, but there we go, as expected," Today I'll drop you three to school. Okay princess." Bhai said and smiles at me which was not at normal.
But then Dad says," Today's meeting preparation has been done or not, b'cuz meeting is important too and if you're going to drop them you'll be late for it ." I was literally dancing in my thoughts, dad I love you so much. But bhai didn't let my happiness for too long and said, "Dad it's almost done and I promise I'll not be late plzz. Mumma say something na." And I know what is going to happen that bhai is coming to drop us school for sure.
I'm currently sitting in front seat and Tara and Tarun were sitting at back, I'm waiting for bhai to ask me reason for to smirk at me. Arghhh!!!
As we were about to reach the school and I thought bhai let me have my morning happy but I was utterly wrong, as bhai asked, " who is so special for whom ur looking at watch in every 10 seconds tell us?" Still smirking at me. Before I could reply Tarun jumped on his seat and with excitement ask, " Bhai you found bhabhi for us and didn't tell us ......, btw who is she? Is she from our school? Do we know her ?? " Tara was also nodding and agreeing with his questions.
Before he questions more I interrupted him, "No!! There is No one as such, and bhai why are asking such questions? How do you even get such ideas from.." before I could further justify myself bhaiya interrupted, " see, you also know about Sara right, so I also want to know who is behind you impatience, tell me ..." before I make another excuse I saw we already reached the school so I said, " Bhai stop the car we already reached, we'll talk it out later on about this. Byee." saying this I just stomed off to the school.
************
As I entered the school, my eyes started wandering only to see her among the buzzing crowd of students. As soon as I reach the building I found myself pushed and punched lightly, i reminded myself having this freaking assholes as my friends. "Arghh!! What are you even doing let me atleast reach to my desk peacefully for once." I spoke facing towards them. Immediately Abhi(Abhimanyu)replied, " Bro, by this speed you'll reach the class after school gets over, stop wandering around loverboy your sweetheart, hasn't arrived yet. So chill bro!!"
Why he has to be so specific, I thought. Yug also enjoy my misery that's not fair. We were continuing are banter of me wasn't looking for her they kept on teasing me with name. As we were ascending the stairs girls ogling over us but cared less b'cuz it's normal for us them to ogle us as we are rich, handsome and pretending to be a bad boy image. Just on the last staircase I dumped onto a gril l was going to scold her b'cuz I don't like someone enters in my space and pretends to be naive and starts clinging to me. Before I scolds her, she turns her face in my direction, everything stops.... she standing in front of me looking precisely at me that was enough to make me crazy and happy for the whole month. She looks at me with guilt wait .. what ?? Then her voice brought me back from my lala land even her voice is so sweet but she is talking or I should say asking me something.
Then my dearest friend Yug pinch me which brought me back to the senses fully I looked towards her and asked, "Are you alright?" Then she says a little louder, " that's what I'm asking you, aap thik hai?" "Yes, better than fine." I replied after that she walked away, but still I'm standing at the same spot watching her leaving.
As soon as she was out of my site, I turned towards my friends, " she is not yet arrived hnn? And Yug, you literally pinch me in front of her hnn." I squinted my eyes at them. "Vivaan bro, I checked bro see was not there maybe when we went to meet you she arrived. " here comes Abhi's explanation which was acceptable then my eyes turns towards Yug, he with a bored expression replied, " That's b'cuz she was continuously asking to you and you're lost in your lala land before she gets suspicious about your behavior I pinched to protect your bloody image in front of her, dumbo."
Later the day passes as usual attending classes in break-time searching for in canteen seating at the table across to her in case if she notices but to my bad luck, she didn't b'cuz she was busy with her group chattering and laughing, but that was enough for me to atleast get look of her face. Girls usually approaches us but she didn't even glance at me for once after that. My poor heart was sad but I don't want to disturb her with her studies and friends? She already has enough in her own section so why will she be my friend, right?
Then after school gets over I leave to the school gate as I know driver uncle must be already there as expected but what was not expected was Tara and Tarun were standing with Siya and talking with her, there was also a boy of Tarun's age maybe his friend,let's see what's going on.

Soon after we reached the school with bhaiya driving the car, my mood was sour b'cuz I got scolded by bhaiya early in the morning. But soon my mood got fixed after receiving chocolates that bhai brought for us and also said, " Don't quarrel again like that, okay ? Be careful and do focus on studies, byee doll." "Thank you bhaiya for chocolates, you're the best." I replied enthusiastically, but again like always Rishi bhai has to poke his nose in everything said, " As soon as you get the chocolates and ice-creams everyone is best for you, dumbo. Byee bhaiya " saying this much he left after greeting bhaiya at last. I ran after him biding byee to bhaiya and taking Gapu with me to leave him nearby his classroom building.
As I was wandering around to spot my group in the crowd of students, seems like everyone is in the classroom only. After biding byee to Gapu, I saw bunch of girls standing around nearby the entrance of building. I also went near to staircase which leads to my classroom, on way I saw that most wanted handsome hunk of the girls none other than Vivaansh Shekhawat around whom with a safer distance girls were standing and murmuring amongst themselves. I just passby from there as it's nothing new since he entered in the school, through staircase I entered into the classroom and looked around for my friends but found none, so I asked one of my classmates about their whereabouts and she informed me that they might be in assembly hall. I thanked her and left for assembly hall.
On the way, I got myself ran into someone, the person was none bur Vivaansh again. As I dumped into him I asked him whether he is okay or not but he was not answering to me rather than just staring at me blankly. After few seconds of asking he finally replied but amuses me was that rather than replying to my question he is asking me I'm okay or not weird but nevermind I just went from after replying. On reaching the assembly hall I spotted my friends and indulge ourselves in chatting and catching up details of our 3 days holiday but my sole focus was on Aditya as he is smiling and laughing in between the conversation.
After sometimes the assembly started all students of high school and higher secondary came to hall for assembly. After the assembly we were departed to our respective classrooms.
Soon but not so soon break-time arrives me and friends went to the canteen, here also the bees were buzzing around the only handsome boy left in the world; note the sarcasm. Means I'm not denying the fact the he has good looks but man you can't keep buzzing over same things grow up! But who cares unless and until they are not roaming around Aditya I'm good with their opinion or matters. After few moments as we were having lunch and chatting in ourselves, I noticed that Aaradhya has the same chocolate as which bhaiya gave me, so I ask her, " Mere pass bhi same chocolate bhaiya ne muje hai, tune ye chocolate kharidi ya fir tuje bhi kisse ne di hai?" She replied with some hesitation , " I....I.. brought it on my way of school." I gave her an understanding look but her behavior was strange but for a chocolate? maybe really someone has given her interesting I'll ask her later.
( Translation : I have the chocolate as you, my elder brother gave me , but where did you get that from or someone has gifted ?)
We went to attend rest of the classes after break-time, day went as usual while chatting with friends, focusing on classes and admiring Aditya. After the school gets over, at the school gate I'm waiting for Rohan and Rishi bhai to join me on the way back to home. Suddenly my mobile buzzed with a message, I opened and it was from Rishi bhai saying he is going to his friends home for some assignment and for me to inform at home that he'll be at home by evening 5 or 6. I sent an okay as a reply and put my phone in my bag. "Didi, look I brought my new friends with me to meet you." There come my Gapu as I looked towards his I saw a girl and a boy of his age coming towards me.
As they reached near me Rohan being the excited one pointed towards his news friends for introduction and other ones being curious looking towards me with big deo eye's.
Rohan said pointing towards the girl, "Didi, she is my new friend Sitara - " but he was interrupted by the boy standing next to the girl saying, " it's Tara for you okay." with some hard glare I guess. The girl shifted close to the boy tugging hid shirt to let him calm. I shifted my gaze towards Rohan to get through the convo.
Rohan replied sensing my meaning of gaze, " Yes, didi her name is Tara, but I like calling her Sitara. " I smiled towards her murmuring a hello. Rohan continued, " she is my Siya didi." She also returned my smile. I asked Rohan, " is she in your class ?" Rohan reply, " No didi she is in another section. I met her today during the lunch break, b'cuz her lunch box fell in the corridor during the break rush so I offer my lunch box as packed some extra for my friends. In this way we became friends. " I felt happy to know so I side hug him with a cheeks pull. But as my vision shifted to the boy I asked Gapu , " Gapu, what is the name of your another friend?" Pointing towards boy standing next to Tara. Listening to my question Gapu's expression became sour while replying said, " He is Tarun, Tara's Twin brother. But didi he is not my friend b'cuz he thought I was bullying Tara and I made her lunch box fell and made her cry. " I turn towards him but he started saying, " Didi, as Tara is always a innocent once so mostly everyone bullying her so i thought the same..... " " it's okay" I replied with a smile and he also smiled towards me. I continued directing my words to Rohan, "Gapu, this not fair if he is accepting his mistake we should not be the bad person then right, let be friend with Tarun to no more arguments. Hmm?" "OK!! Didi." It doesn't sounds ok but nevermind let them be their own. Admist of all Tara started giggling, leaving all three of us confused so Tarun asked, " princess, why are you giggling that too so suddenly?" Tara replied controlling her giggles, " you're name is Gapu." Pointing towards Rohan.
Rohan being embarrassed whined, " Didi, how many times I have to tell not to call me Gapu in front of my friends." "Ok baba, sorry I'll be careful next time." I apologise but him being embarrassed blushed profusely while moving his hand in his hair and giving nervous smile to Tara.
Then I asked them, " Are you guys waiting for someone to pick you up if not then come with us we'll drop you in our car." "No, didi-" "what's going on here, princess? " Tarun was replying to me but a voice from behind interrupted him and we all turn towards the direction of the voice.
