The canteen felt slippery and also was immensely crowded,and I was tired of facing constant bumps every now and then.

I still somehow managed to buy the fried rice and got out of there, and headed towards my classroom.

It was raining heavily since morning, and nobody even bothered to close the corridor windows.It didn't take two minutes for me to get totally drenched as I walked through that area.

"Ahallya?" Akash shouted from the doorstep of our classroom, "Can't you make it faster? The electricity is going off in a few minutes."

As I enter the classroom fast, all the lights started going off and on, until the room finally turned dark.

"There will not be anymore classes today," Akash claims with a huge smile, "Principal madam just announced we can sit in the class and chit-chat."

I smile and open the fried rice packet, sitting on one of the benches in the front row.

"It would've been better if others in our squad were present today."

I put on an irritated expression and continue taking my tiffin. Due to heavy rain, 80% of the students of our class were absent which included our while squad except Akash.

I had to sit with him as others present weren't my friends, and I hated to be alone.Well he didn't flirt or annoy me,we just kept on chatting on various matters.

The First and second period was somehow held even in this condition,but it turned impossible to study after the AC and lights went off.

"Ahallya, what to do with Ayaz?" Akash sounded concerned.

I was lost in thoughts all this while,and this knocked me back to reality.

"He likes you.It's obvious that you somehow like him back.And if you guys date, you'll turn popular very soon.Just imagine."

He of course said all these with a huge smirk and also loudly,and I looked around the classroom to see if anybody was over-hearing our conversation or not.

Although very few people were present, still I could feel them smiling creepily even in this dark and talking about us.

Great how people never get tired of laughing at others!

"At first I don't want popularity.Secondly,I don't like him back.What's the point in dating him then?" I asked.

Akash let out a laugh and said,"Then just play a game! "

"What game?" I asked innocently.

He laughed and said, "Fake dating,I mean."

I went furious and even planned to slap him on face, but stopped myself.

I asked with gritted teeth,"You mean... cheating???"

"Yuppzzz." He said and smirked.

Nashalie was eves dropping oir conversation and she was also like "Yeah!! Why not?!"

Well I didn't know our school was filled with dogs and bitches!

I just kept quiet, cuz I was way too furious to react!

"I bet you never had a boyfriend before.So why not try it?" Arisha added.

I just sighed.

I did have one,who cheated badly cheated on me- I wanted to scream this out but didn't.What's the use of bringing over the past???

"And Ayaz's nice and also a very good student.What's the prob then??" Nashalie laughed.

"We're of course not telling you to go marry him." Ayaz smirked.

"Just say yes.I'll message Ayaz today." Nashalie laughed and started collecting her belongings.

"Nooooo!!!!!" I shouted.

And before I could say anything else, Ayaz along with Nashalie and Arisha deliberately left the classroom.

Why are they doing this?? God knows what's next!!
