chapter 4

.•♫ Story of Colours ♫•.×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×ＪＵＬＹSo, I didn't cross paths with him again. Logically, today was my first day. Rish technically dropped me. Oh yes, he just walked by my side, scoffing and rolling his eyes. After his so-called dropping me at school, he guided me to something which I didn't pay attention to. Because, I am mesmerized with my school which was so big. It seemed like a university.And, it was only for secondary school students. But why is this so big and huge? Anyway, who cares? I just felt adorable looking at the surroundings. I really expected Indian schools to be small and more likely, a building kind of. But it's so different. "You remember July? Don't judge a book by its cover." Says momma and I agree every time. So, why not today.The cool breeze hit me and it was just refreshing. It has become my favorite now. This cool natural breeze was better than our air conditioner and sitting down under trees was best instead of sitting under the same roof with strangers.I don't know why, but I ended up loving India on my first day itself.The lecturers were good too.. Few were familiar to Hitler but I will manage. But, I got to know it's hard to pass my mid semesters. Like yeah! Asians work hard on Physics, History and Maths. So, it's kinda hard for me. Top on cheery, I haven't mingled with any of my classmates. Everyone ignored me even when I tried to approach them. So, I gave up.I really needed a tutor. After that, I walked towards home alone and this time I saw Mr. Handsome. He was still in his shorts but the colour was different. Yesterday, it was black but today it was honey shaded with tiger stripes. Our eyes met and I immediately gave a smile. But instead of smiling, he gave me a wink. I was shocked and bowed my head down.What's wrong with him?I was about to walk further but he stopped me by calling out my name.He remembers my name. He is calling out my name."Huh? Me?" I ask him when he calls me so loud. "Yes. You. Come here." He says and, it looked like ordering. I looked around and he was standing close to my apartment. So, I walked to him and stopped near him. He wasn't alone. He had some of his friends and the same yesterday painted guy was also present. He smirked at me but I rolled my eyes at him. "Hmm... You are a pretty, US dollar girl." He says and chuckles. Even Mr Handsome laughs at that. US dollar girl huh? I felt a little sad as they were clearly mocking me. And you didn't say anything, Mr Handsome. That's so hurtful. I spun around and took long strides to my floor. I don't know why but suddenly, I hated calling him Mr. Handsome.He was laughing at me? Why did everyone ignore me today? Jerk.I will ignore y'all now. **********Next morning 🌞I heard someone tapping on my balcony door. So, I opened it to find out there were many flowers which were decorated on the ground. Hey it's some rangoli. Ahh!! An Indian tradition? Yes, I know this. But who did this? I frown and look at that keenly. A small folded letter caught my eye. Aww.. What's this now?I opened it and read out__"Sorry. We didn't mean to hurt you like that. Instead, we wanted you to become our friend. But still, it was awkward. So, sorry and let's become friends?"Who is saying sorry to me? And for what? I turned around to see who that was, but no one was there.That's when my eyes landed on our next door. Mr. Hand- I mean that 'Jerk guy' was standing.Yes, it's Jerk guy from now on. He was leaning against his balcony door and was smiling at me. But this letter and this decorated rangoli_? He had done this? For me!? "You did all of these?" I ask him, to which he nods as Yes.Ohh Jesus!! That's Impressive.But, I am gonna show my attitude now. I didn't say anything and entered inside my room taking the letter with a chocolate attached to it. I had that chocolate and got ready for my school as usual.Today, dad was dropping me. I thank you, Lord. But then, I saw him again. That too with Rish. What? Are these two friends? When?"But why do you care?" I ask myself.Yeah!! I don't care.I ignore it and this time, our eyes don't meet. I didn't let my gaze on him and I let him approach me as this is for his fucking mocking at me. How can he laugh at me? Huh? Did I laugh at him? Instead I gave him a nickname. Mr Handsome. A cool one. But, I guess.. He loved another name. Jerk Guy. A cold one. I hate you whatever your name is, Jerk Guy. ÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷It's been a week. Uff! It was.. was full of fun. Fun because, 'Jerk' guy just didn't give up and kept on approaching me. And, I ignored him until yesterday. And, what happened to me yesterday? Well, yesterday was Sunday. He came to ask me out.. For playing badminton. I don't know how he got to know about badminton. But, I love playing this game. Is this a crush thing now? Yeah! I don't think so, it's a crush thing. He's approaching me because he is guilty? I guess so.. Never mind. But, we had fun. That's when I got to know his name. It's Roshan Verma. Such a sweet name, right?But, the Jerk guy suits him well. Isn't it? Anyway, As for his name.. He was very fun and friendly. He and Rish both are from the same institute and the same football teams. Quite a coincidence, you know?Aish! I am running out of time. I got inside my bathroom and screamed loudly. God!! Blood stains. Periods? Ahh... I felt weak by looking at my own blood. My stupid hemophobia.I hardly ate my breakfast today, and then I went to my school. Just then, I met Roshan who was talking to some girl. After seeing me, he excused himself and turned to me. Okay?? That was quite.. embarrassing. Yea-"Hmm? What happened?" He asks and I shake my head as No. I feel sad for the girl now.. I clench my bloated stomach and wince in pain when it groaned. "You are in period, Juli?" He asks and I snap my face. Well, he mocked me again, saying "July" sounds like a month. So, he technically changed my name from "July to Juli" which I didn't mind because.. Even, I had an argument regarding this name. But it's my parent's first dating month. So, I couldn't change that. "How do you know?" I ask him. "I mean.. Forget it. Cmon, I will give you a piggy ride." He says suddenly and I narrow my eyes. Is he for real? ×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×A/ N -Hey Lovies! How are y'all? Please review it and rate it. I know you are a ghost reader. But still.. Just an emoji will be good too. Anyway, Stay Safe and Healthy.
