1- Mr. Red Shirt

Akansha POV:

"Close your mouth Kanz. Or insects will go inside it."

I closed my mouth instantly, "It's not funny Kryz. Crescent Academy is awesome and majestic. I am truly blessed to be here."

"Don't judge a book by it's cover Kanz", she warned me. "Like every other college, there are popular students in this college too. You should avoid them as much as possible", she warned me again for the umpteenth time since I had gotten admission at Crescent Academy through my sholarship. Since she is insisting about it strongly, I guess I should follow it.

"I am glad you are with me or I am cent percent sure that I will get lost in this big campus", I said to lighten the mood. But I think it had the reverse effect on her.

"What happened Kryz? You are looking worried. Did I say something wrong?", I asked her, sensing her change of mood.

"Nothing Kanz. I was just remembering my first day here", she answered me with more emotion in her voice.

"Are you okay Kryz?"

"I am sorry Kanz. I lied to you about my first day at college before. Since you were struggling with your own life problems, I thought not to burden you with my problems."

I was extremely shocked by her outburst. I felt like I was not a good friend to her.

"You should not say sorry Kryz; it's me who should say sorry. I was not there when you needed me. I am extremely sorry dear. Will you accept my apology?"

"Shut up stupid. Now hug me so that I can feel better", she commanded me.

"Sure boss. Your word is my command", I hugged her. And she hugged me back.

"Okay my boss, you are going to spill the truth about your first day after we go home. Promise?"

Living with my best friend Krystle Spears in an apartment has been one of the best decision of my life. Her parents are living near the countryside wherein she visits them frequently. I left my house and cut my contacts with them three months ago due to a few reasons and Kryz persuaded me to stay with her at her apartment and helped me to get a part-time job as a waitress in the Green World restaurant which is quite famous in the town. That part-time job was so difficult to manage as I had to face all type of customers everyday. But with the help from my co-workers, I somehow managed them. All in all, I am very grateful to her for being with me during the happy and tough situations of my life. She is my moral support, my childhood friend! But seems like I wasn't with her in her difficult moments making me feel worse. Let me make up for that tonight!

"Promise", she promised me to speak about it.

"Okay. Enough of me. Today is your day. Let's go and collect your schedule", she dragged me to the Main Office and sent me to the principal office to collect my schedule.

PARTH POV:

Argh! Who is calling now? I searched my phone on the side-table and answered, "Who the shit is this calling me?"

"Good morning to you too Parth", Andrew, my friend's irritating voice came through the phone. I groaned and decided to cut the call and go to sleep. But my so-called idiot interrupted me, "Before you cut the call, I need to inform you that today is the first day at the Crescent academy after vacation. So you must surely come my dear sleeping baby Parth''.

Before I could say anything, he cut the call; him and his childish ways of making me do things. Argh!! I guess I drank a lot because my head is killing me with this stupid ache.

While getting up from the bed, I noticed a figure lying in the bed. I guess she gave me company yesterday; What's her name??.....whatever who cares...I exited the guest room and went to my room to get ready.

No one is allowed to enter my room except my two friends Andrew Mark and Theodore Wyatt, the servant Ram who cleans my room and myself of course.

"Ram", I called the servant.

"Yes sir."

"Usual work", I commanded.

"Okay sir", he replied and walked away.

The usual work is to make that girl in the guestroom leave the house before I come back. Also to throw the sheets away that's been used.

My whole vacation passed this way most of the time. I am feeling a little bored with this routine. So let me just find a fascinating target at the Crescent!

Akansha POV:

"Welcome to the Crescent Academy Miss. Akansha Corey. I hope you will shine in the Crescent too", said the principal Mr. Gladwin while handing me my schedule and locker key.

"Thank you sir. I will do my best", I spoke confidently and came outside.

The moment I came outside, my schedule was snatched by Krystle. She eagerly went through my schedule.

"We are sharing only three classes together i.e. we both are sharing the first, third and the last period only", she sulked.

"Oh! No worries.. You will be with me at the start of the day; so I would be familiar with the place by that time", I said to cheer her up.

"Yeah. Okay then, let's go to the class Kanz."

I carefully observed the routes she took to go to the class. The place was quite confusing but I hope I will learn the routes soon or I will be lost in this endless path.

And finally after an enormous journey, I reached my first class.

"Kryz... um-- Is this the correct place?", I asked her doubtfully because the class was completely vacant with no students inside.

"Yes my dear Kanz, this is the class. Since today is the first day after vacation, no one has come yet. And guess what?! We have an advantage here", she grinned.

"What's the advantage?", I asked curiously. "Well, I could show you the people from whom you should stay away", she said with a straight face.

Since I used to sit at the backbench before, I decided to sit there, but Krystle stopped me. "Now what Madam?", I asked her.

"Well, a kind information. Don't even think about sitting at the back; it's only for the popular", she commanded and made me sit in the third bench.

Soon the classes got filled with students. "Look there", Krystle told me.

"The center one is the so-called college beauty, her name is Jacqueline Weiss. And the other two following behind her is her so called friends, Bella White and Emma Charles."

Well, as Krystle said, I could feel their stupid attitude too. Let me just stay far, far away from them. That will be better.

"Okay boss. I will stay away from them."

"One more thing. You must stay away from Theodore, Andrew and Parth", she said seriously.

"Well, I guess they are the bad boys?"

She nodded her head confirming it.

"Especially, stay far, far away from Parth. He is a playboy. Even Jacqueline has a crush on him. And you must keep as much distance as possible with him. Am I clear to you?"

"YES BOSS! I will follow your orders", I mock-saluted making her laugh.

Soon, the teacher entered the class. Luckily, he didn't notice that there was a new student. So it was not necessary for me to introduce myself to the whole class. I am glad about it too.

Since today is the first day, he just explained the basics of coding. And soon the first period got over.

"Kryz, can you tell me where the locker room is?"

"Yup, let's go."

I opened the locker and placed my other books inside it and closed it.

"Krystle Spears, the principal called you to the office", a peon came and called her.

Having no other way, she then told me the instructions to go to the next class and went the other way. By the time I reached the class, the whole class was completely filled.

The first bench was only vacant. So, I went there and took my seat. I felt like the whole class was watching me. Maybe they would have identified me as a new student. So I calmed myself down.

Soon, the teacher entered the class. "Good Morning students. I am Mr. John. I hope all are ready t.." but he was interrupted by a voice, "Excuse me sir."

Wow! He is looking so handsome!! ewww... what are you thinking Akansha?! Control yourself!

"Get in Mr. Paxton. Since today is the first class, I am allowing you inside", Mr. John said to him. He ignored his words and coolly came inside the class. Oh my god!!! He is coming in my direction.

He stood near me and was glaring at me with his eyes. Oh! Is he asking me to move? Yes stupid! There is no other place to sit. So logically you must move and give him space to sit.

I came to my senses and moved myself to give him a place to sit and smiled at him pleasantly. But, he is still glaring at me. Why? Did I do anything wrong?

"Mr. Paxton, sit down", Mr. John said sternly. I looked at him with a questioning look. He then sat down furiously next to me. Mr. John then continued his class with the basics of design.

I guess I am sitting on his bench without his permission. That must be the reason for his anger. No worries.. I will apologize and make him my friend. And I will show Kryz that I could make a new friend without her help.

"Okay students. Since this is the first day, I am asking everyone to plan a simple house design and then you can relax", Mr. John said. Since it's a easy work, I finished it soon.

Okay. It's my perfect chance. Just speak with him, Akansha!

"Hello..."

But there was no response. Maybe he didn't hear me. What was his name? Mr. John said something like Mr.Phinton...no no Mr.Phanton...no no.. whatever I will ask it from him.

"Excuse me Mr. Red shirt", I called him since he was wearing a red shirt. He ignored me again. How dare he! Calm down Kanz. Calm down. He is just angry because you are sitting on his bench without his permission.

"Look here, Mr. Red shirt. I know that you are angry with me for sitting on your bench without your permission. But I swear to you that there was no other place for me to sit except this bench as no one occupied it. And I am sorry for sitting here without your permission. But technically it's not my fault as you were not sitting here when I had come", I said but he ignored me again.

Maybe he is a mute? Oh god! Why didn't I think it that way. He didn't even ask me to move before because he couldn't speak; so stupid of me.

"I am extremely sorry. I didn't know that you couldn't speak. But don't worry, I won't make fun of you. We can be good friends t.. " Just shut your fucking mouth you dumb", he interrupted me.

"Whaaatttt!!!", I exclaimed. Did he just spoke with me? Oh God! I just called him a mute!

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

He kept his hand on his head and groaned. Is he feeling ill?

"Mr. Red shirt! Are you having a headache? Should I tell Mr. John about....", but I was again interrupted by him, "You!....Miss. Nonstop! I told you to keep your bloody mouth shut and don't....don't disturb me".
