Author POV

"And then they really broke up. Now she is dating his best friend". A girl finishes talking and laughs. Her friends also laugh with her. "Vatika how can you get those news so fast".

"Sejal you may have forgotten but I am the papparazi of R.C.V.S" Vatika responses to her friend. At that time Abhishri starts to laugh maniacly. All the girls look at Abhishri's manjulika hasi.

"Bro, why are you laughing ?!" Vatika asks Abhishri clearly weirded out by her laughter. "You call yourself the Papparazi but you don't know the greatest news of this year".  "And what should it be ?" Vatika challenges  back clearly irked by Abhishri's words.

"Vyas Shrivastav has came first in this year's board exams". "I don't see the point in knowing him". Vatika clearly points out her interest. "Vatika is right Shri. Vyaas Shrivastav and we are from different cliques". Sejal retorts back.

Ringgggg..

"Guys I have to leave. Today is my first practical class". As soon as the bell rang, Vatika got up from her seat and left from there. In 11 grade most of Vatika's friends have chosen Arts or commerce leaving her in Bio Science department alone.

"Vatika where were you ? You would have been late". A classmate calls out seeing Vatika entering the classroom. Vatika simply hums in response. Gathering all the necessary stationaries, Vatika leaves the classroom along with her classmates.

Reaching the laboratory, Vatika looks for any available stool to sit in a cool place. Sitting in the chemistry laboratory is against the rules for the students. But Vatika Rathore has been a child with weak constitution, so she could break the rules.

"Shruti I don't think those students are from our class". Vatika says to her seatmate Shruti khurana. Shruti looks toward the clusters of students at the other side of a laboratory standing.

" Those students are from pure science department ". Shruti informs Vatika as she notices the nerds mingling together. Suddenly the girls started to gather around, making a small commotion. Vatika's height is quite short than most of the girls of her class, so she couldn't see what they are fussing about.

Vatika can finally see the eye of the *girls hurricane*. A boy of 5 feet 10 inch stood there. He is as white as a peeled boiled egg. Noticing a stare, the boy also turned around. Their eyes crashed momentarily. Both of them held their eye contact, until the teachers entered the laboratory to get started with the class.

The teacher noticed the clusters of students, he shouted. "Why are you all making a commotion in the laboratory ?! Get back to your seats". The girls hurriedly return back to their seats. Vatika also took her seat and started to attentively hear the teacher. Vyas came and took a seat opposite of her.

"So students as you all can see, section A and J are going to have a combined practical classes for this academic session. So I hope you all maintain a proper decorum ". The students simultaneously answered Yes in answer.
The period went on mostly about the do's and don'ts in the laboratory along with a basis lesson on the equipments.

When the bell rang, students picked up their bags and ran out of the laboratory like a bunch of rabies infected dogs are chasing them.
