After arguing, debating,shouting,fighting, pushing,cursing and pulling each other's hairs, it was finally decided that Raman would come to Ishita's home for discussing the project. Raman wanted Ishita to come as he was not interested in meeting her at her home. Ishita gave him a victory smile and patted his now messed up hairs.

The whole class looked at them still in shock after their arguing, debating,shouting,fighting, pushing,cursing and pulling each other's hairs session. It was good that the teacher didn't come else both of them would have been send out.

Raman was the one who gave up because Ishita was torturing him by her sharp nails that pierced his skin. He cursed her under his breath and set his hairs which probably looked like a bird's nest.

"You can never win from me RKB",Ishita smirked at him showing him her long nails. He rolled his eyes and made faces before muttering,"Whatever".

The teacher enters and starts teaching while Raman gets bored. He makes Two paper balls and writes Ishita in her writing style in them. He looks at Ishita who was busy in copying what teacher had written on the blackboard.

He smirked and throws both on the teacher who was writing on the blackboard. The paper hit the teachers hip making her jolt up. She turns around and looks at the paper ball.

The class laughs but the teacher's glare makes them silent.

"Who threw the paper?"

The teacher asks and picks up the paper ball,opens it and looks up at the class. Her gaze went towards Ishita who was looking at her curiously but the teacher mistaken her expression and thought her to he nervous.

"I know who did it"

Raman looks at Ishita and acts as if pitying her which teacher notices and confirms her doubt.

"ISHITA IYER! OUT OF MY CLASS NOW!"

The teacher yells making Ishita widen her eyes. She stood up with a jerk.

"Ma'am I didn't do-"

"Shut up! Out of my class now!"

Ishita looks down and then at Raman who was looking at her with a smirk. She understood who did it.

"Ma'am you are mistaken! Raman did it"

"Haw! You are blaming on me? I told you Ishita don't do it you'll get caught but no! You were getting bored so you threw it!"

Raman says innocently and the teacher nods at him and then turning to Ishita glares her.

"Do I need to repeat myself Ishita?"

"No ma'am.."

Ishita mutters and walks out of the class not before glaring Raman who was looking at her with a laughing expression.

******

"I'll not leave you!!",Ishita shouts at Raman who was now under her after a wrestling match. They were fighting in the parking zone after dismissal.

Raman turns and now he was on her stomach while she was gasping for air.

"You deserved it Ishita!",Raman smirks and folds his arms across his chest.

Ishita rolls and now he was under her.

"Just because you lost the argument doesn't mean you'll make me stand out of the class for one whole freaking period!"

He pushes her and stands up. She was still lying on the ground glaring him.

"Well well I hope you enjoyed your stay outside!"

Raman shouted and ran towards his bicycle,unlocking it and rushing out of the campus not before showing her his tongue.

Ishita groans and tries following him but trips down.

Ugh! A bad,really bad day!,Ishita noted mentally and pouted.

*******

Raman walked inside the compound and sighed. Finally found her apartment!,Raman thought. Though he took her address, he totally forgot about taking her number. He cursed the teacher who paired them. Being or doing something with Ishita was the last thing that Raman ever wanted.

He has heard and read many incidents, where  you have hate at first sight, usually the two of them start liking each other as the day pass but in his case he was hating Ishita even more as the day passed. He hated her guts the most. Never ever in his life the same person has made him feel embarrassed and insulted almost everyday!

He shook his head and looked at the time. It was 4:45. Woah! It took him thirty minutes to find her apartment,Raman thought.

He looked at the apartment number and started finding her house. When he saw 'IYER HOUSE' written on the board in one of the homes he knew he found it out.

He rang the bell twice and a lady clad in a dark blue saree opened the door. She smiled at him. She may be her mother, Raman mentally talked to himself.

"Hello Aunty, I'm Raman"

"Oh! The one who was coming today to discuss some project?",Mrs. Iyer asked sweetly.

"Yes, Aunty"

"Come in kanna",Mrs. Iyer called him in smiling sweetly and he smiled back.

"Look at her Aunty and look at her! They have so much difference. She doesn't even know the S of Sweet",Raman said under his breath while following Mrs. Iyer.

Mrs. Iyer told him to sit down on the dining chair and she'll bring water and some snacks for him.

"Ammmaaaaaa!"

Raman heard Ishita's voice and he looked up at her and almost fell down the chair. Ishita walked towards the table still in school uniform. Her hairs were probably a mess which made her look like a witch. Her eyes were closed due to sleepiness as she sat down on the chair and kept her head on the table. She still hadn't noticed him.

"Amma! I'm hungry!"

"Ishu! I have told you so many times not to sleep directly after coming from school.. You don't even have your lunch!"

She scolds Ishita caressing her hairs.

"Ishu!"

Ishita looks up at Mrs. Iyer with droopy eyes and then she notices someone's gaze. She frowns and looks in front and her eyes widen at Raman who was waving and smiling sheepishly.

"You!! When did you come here?"

"Just two minutes before you were shouting 'Ammaaaaa'.."

Raman mimics Ishita making Mrs. Iyer laugh. He smiles at her and then looks at Ishita.

"Ishu you take him to your room till then I'll being some snacks and coffee!"

Mrs. Iyer instructs Ishita and walks inside her room followed by Raman.

"Welcome to my Room!"

Ishita says and walks towards the wardrobe to take out her casuals and walks inside the bathroom after asking him to sit down till she's back.

Raman looks around at her room. Her room wasn't girlish,it was white and black with modern furniture.

He looks at the photo frames kept and hanged on the wall.

He looked at the boy in the pic. Maybe her old friend,he frowned.

He then looked at some of her pics.

A smile formed on his lips when he looked at her childhood pics. She indeed looked cute, he noticed.

He heard the 'click' sound ans turned around to see Ishita wearing a casual T shirt and shorts ans her hairs tied in a decent pony.

He sighed in relief as she no more looked a witch.

He shook his head and Ishita came towards him and sat down on the bed folding her legs.

"So what should we so in the project?"

Ishita asked frowning.

"I don't know you tell"

Raman sat down beside her and she sighed.

"Wait! I'll bring pen and paper and we'll give ideas together"

Ishita brought pen and paper and they started giving ideas. Sometimes they gave similar ideas and sometimes funny ideas which made both of them burst into laughter. Well no need  to say but this was the first time they got along.

Mrs Iyer brought snacks and coffee and Ishita jumped upon the snacks that made Raman laugh.

They discussed the rest of the ideas and the way they would set it up when suddenly they heard someone faint shout,"Ishitaaaa!!"

Ishita who was a biscuit tucked in between her lips frowned making Raman frown too. Her expression changed to realization and then she heard the doorbell.

Raman looked at Ishita raising his eyebrow. Ishita ate the biscuit and said to herself,"Ohoo!"

She then ran out of the room and Raman too followed curiously. Ishita opened the door and revels three boys and two girls.

"Sorry guys I can't come and play today–"

"What? You play?",Raman laughed at her.

"Shut up huh!"

"Are you so some kid who plays?"

"Everyone can play okay?"

Ishita says defending herself.

"What kind of games you okay? Pakdam pakdai? Hide and seek? Chain chain?"

"Yes",Ishita answers softly looking away making Raman laugh loudly.

"Stop laughing like a Ravan! Ravan Kumar",Ishita mutters.

"Why shouldn't I laugh? A 9th class student playing games of some 7 year old kid!"

"Guys you all go and pay! I'll have to punch someone now"

Ishita closes the door and jumps on Raman punching him.

He hisses with pain but acts all innocent knowing very well Mrs Iyer would come here any moment.

Ishita slaps him again and again shouting at him.

"Ishu!!"

Raman smirks at Ishita and Ishita gulps down.

"Tomorrow is your birthday right? Not today! That you can do whatever you want to and I won't say anything to you! Say sorry to him"

Woah! Tomorrow is her birthday?,Well she's gonna like the birthday gift he's gonna give, Raman smirks and looks at Ishita who says "Sorry" to him.

He smirks and starts planning the list of best gifts he's gonna gift her.

"It will be best birthday of your life"

Raman smirks and follows Ishita who had already left.

****
Oh-uh so what's RKB planning? In his words best means worst! So? Is it gonna be the worst birthday of Ishita's life? Let's see😉
