Ishita and Raman remain shock and continue to stare at the teacher with their mouth open a little. They then look at each other and shake their head in 'No' vigorously.

"Raman and Ishita,I expect you to reach Auditorium for the practices from tomorrow." The teacher says with a polite smile.

"NOOO!!" Ishita stood up immediately making the teacher frown.

"I mean I can't take part." Ishita says panicky. Raman who was still in shock nodded his head in return.

"And why is it so?" The teacher asked a bit angrily.

"I-I..Uh..I...My leg will be fractured by that time."

"What?" The teacher gasped while the whole class burst into laughter including Raman.

"I..Uh.." Ishita purses her lips and looks down embarrassed trying to control her smile.

"Is that even an excuse? Sorry Ishita, I found my perfect couple and that's gonna be you. Raman and Ishita." The teacher announces proudly and picks up her file taking out two scripts and handing them over to Ishita and Raman. She then explains them a bit of the script and leaves.

Ishita slumps down on her chair and starts banging her face on her desk.

"Aye! Want me to help?" Raman asks and takes out his bottle from his bag and raises it, ready to smash Ishita's head.

Ishita's eyes widen and she immediately tries to get up but ends up falling from her chair giving the class another reason to laugh.

Raman was laughing holding his stomach as if it was the funniest thing he ever saw.

"Shut up!" Ishita yells making the class quiet but Raman laughed shamelessly not even effected by Ishita's high pitched voice.

She huffs and sits down on her chair.

"Why is it so that I want to get away from you but end up doing everything with you?" Ishita asks gritting her teeth.

Raman's face turns serious and he moves his face closer to her.

"Maybe God is planning us together." Raman says seriously while Ishita's expression replaced to that of horrified.

Then all of a sudden Raman bursts into laughter.

"Look at your face! Bwahaha! It looks like you have seen a ghost. Hahaha!" Raman starts laughing banging his hand on the table.

"It's not funny anymore!" Ishita says angrily and pushes him off his chair. Raman lands on his butt and groans at the sudden impact.

This time Ishita starts laughing like maniac.

"You are over acting. Don't even know how to laugh." Raman says irritated.

Ishita makes a face and yawns, placing her head on the table she closes her eyes.

Raman smirks and pushes her off again making her fall down again but this time she banged her head on the next table making the class gasp and pity her while Raman being shameless laughed, nonetheless.

That ignited the fire and both of them began to push each other forgetting about the surroundings and soon both of them were on the floor. Ishita straddling him and pulling his hair with one hand while Raman had Ishita's hand between his teeth.

"Aah! Leave my hand. You idiot!" Ishita hisses with pain.

"First you remove your hands from my hair. Aah!" Raman too hisses.

"Okay! We will do it together." Ishita says groaning with pain

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

Ishita's one hand left his hair and was soon replaced by the other while Raman too with the same speed captured her other hand between his teeth.

"That's cheating!" Both of them exclaim. They start glaring each other until they felt the class go quiet.

"Ishita and Raman! What are you both doing on floor." Their class teacher's angry voice boomed.

*******

After getting a good scolding, both of them cane back to their seats. They even suggested their teacher to change their places but she denied it.

The intercom of their class ringed making them quiet.

"Class 9th to 12th, the results of your Geography project is going to be announced now. Each class should line up and reach the Audi. Quietly."

The principal added the last part before going off making the class return back to talking.

"Is this a fish market?" The teacher shouts but the students don't stop talking.

"Shit! Raman! Results are going to be announced." Ishita says nervously.

"Damn it! I'm getting nervous. C'mon let's go."

The class makes a line and walks towards the Auditorium.

All the classes settle inside talking non-stop. Raman and Ishita sat together waiting for the results. The principal walked in and the whole lot of students stood up to greet her.

"So students! Each class is going to have 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The projects are judged according to the neatness, description and better presentation. Now let's begin."

The teacher picks up a card that had all the winners.

"So we will begin with class 9(A).." The principal says while Raman and Ishita look at each other. That was their class. Both of them held each other's hand tightly.

"Winners of classes 9(A) are...3rd is Shreya-Savita"

Raman and Ishita's hope fell down a little. Their grip loosened a bit

"2nd Mihika-Mihir."

Mihika and Mihir screamed and then laughed making their way towards the stage

"Aww! I thought we could come 2nd but now no hope." Ishita says with a tsk in the end. They left hands.

"We did well yaar. We should have got at least 3rd rank. That's not fair." Raman says a bit upset.

They did a lot of hard work and the main hard work was bearing each other.

"And 1st is....."

Ishita and Raman with no hope sat down there looking here and there knowing very well they are not going to win.

"Ishita-Raman."

Ishita and Raman's eyes widen and their jaw hang down. They look at each other and smile cheekily. They stood up and grabbed each other in a tight hug.

"Oh my god!" Both of them exclaimed together.

Raman in happiness kissed Ishita's cheek and they made their way to the stage.

"Your project was really presented well." The principal appreciated.

"Thank you ma'am." Both of them thanked and held hands before taking the certificate and awards.

The principal announced the rest result.

"We want party!" Their class exclaimed once they returned back to their seats.

"Celebration." Raman says looking at Ishita.

"Tomorrow." Ishita says with a wide smile.
