Anika’s pov
As I was returning from school, lots of people made fun of my hair being all sticky.
I entered home and the questions of everyone surrounded me.
“Ani, what happened to your hair” Varsha di laughed.
“Don’t ask, some guy did it!” I claimed.
“Oh ok!” She laughed.
I ran straight to toilet to wash my hair, then I noticed… All shampoo was gone!
“Here are the shampoo, there is none in the bottle!” I shouted.
“I finished it hihi” Varsha di giggled.
“Why god! Why! Thanks Mr Irritating I thought”
Just then, my cousin Abhay shouted.
“Ani didi, Ani didi, someone left something on the gates for you!”
“Who the hell would want to give me something, maybe Navu” I thought.
I raced to gates and found it to be a shampoo.
It stated “To Anika” on the label with a note stuck to it.
“Who would give me a shampoo, but whoever gave me this, thank you!” I smirked.
I opened the note. It stated
“Anika, I am sorry that I ruined your hair, trust me, I didn’t do it on purpose. Its a stupid idea to give you a shampoo but I thought you might need it. Once again I am extremely sorry!
From
Mr Irritating”
I knew that it was from Shivaay.
“How did he know that I call him Mr Irritating?” I wondered “Probably heard me saying it, anyways, I will go and wash my hair”
I went to thd bathroom and washed my hair.
Next Day…
Navu was shocked seeing my hair, as it was silky smooth.
“I didn’t know the stickyness will go away so soon?!” Navu uttered.
“Yeah, because Shivaay, sent me shampoo!” I replied.
Navu came in front of me.
“Yesss!” She beamed.
“What happened?” I asked.
“Shivaay ko kuch kuch ho raha hain pagli” She giggled while smacking me on the head.
“I…I don’t get you?” I said confusedly.
“Arrey pagli, Shivaay probably likes you hehe” She laughed.
“Impossible…” I was too speechless to continue.
We went to our class. Shivaay came up to me.
“So did you get my apology?”
“Yeah…” I uttered.
“Good, good, by the way your hair is really nice, I mean it was but its even nicer” Shivaay said while touching my open hair.
“Thanks I guess…” I said confusedly meanwhile Navu tried to control her laughter. I guess she was shipping us two together. Agaainnn…
The class started, it was Maths. But Navu was busy scribbling her and a prince most probably her prince charming Krish. As well ways Adarsh sir, the head teacher interrupted.
“On Sunday it is friendship day, but we will celebrate it on Friday, so students you can bring a friendship band or gifts for your dear friends”
Every year, Navya stood with me through bad and good. She deserves to get a gift, a perfect but… what should I give her???” I thought.
Pov Ends
Anika was walking to playground with her books alone. The bullys of the school targeted her so they surrounded her.
“You have any money, Anika?” The bully gang leader questioned while taking off her book.
“Give my book, it has important notes!” Anika insisted.
“No, not so easily, give us money?” Another guy claimed.
“I don’t have any money, please, give that to me, please, it has notes for my exam and I don’t want to fail!” Anika explained.
“You don’t have money, if you don’t give us money, we won’t give you your notes easily” They said while slamming the notebook in Anika’s face. The notes were all over the ground. Anika bended to get the notes and saw Shivaay bending and helping her get the notes. Then furiously walked to the bullys and grabbed one of them by the collar.
“I think you haven’t learnt your lesson!” Shivaay coaxed.
“Shivaay” The bully gasped while remembering Shivaay punching him.
The other bully’s ran while Anika watched.
“Yes, Shivaay, should I remind you what happened?” Shivaay asked.
“No Shivaay, sorry Anika, I will never irritate you again, I swear on my life, I will never, please spare me Shivaay” The boy requested.
“Only if you promise that you would never ever in your life annoy a girl, you would always talk to them respectfully” Shivaay dicatated.
“Ok, Shivaay I will never ever in life annoy girls and I will talk to them respectfully, now let me go” The boy begged.
Shivaay took off his hands from the boy’s collar.
“Thanks…” Anika expressed.
“Dosti mein no sorry, no thank you, remember it!” Shivaay commanded.
“But friendship day is tomorrow, friday! For school” Anika informed.
“There is no certain time for making friends ok” Shivaay said while patting Anika.
At Night
The radio was playing, while Shivaay was admiring the night sky as he was looking from the window.
“Chand Chupa Badal Mein” started playing on the radio.
Shivaay’s pov
“I don’t know whats happening to me, I started liking the girl I completely ignored, my life has always been around popular girls, but I don’t know why I like the quietness of Anika. I still can remember the day I joined Maharashtra School and College and my first meeting with Anika was so weird. Like me and Anika bumping into each other and her open hair got stuck to my shirts button. Then me and her getting all of her books she dropped…
Anyways I have to focus on friendship day, what should I give Krish?” I thought. Then I remembered noticing Navya + Krish on his palms. I knew the perfect idea but I needed someone’s help…
Pov ends…
Next Day
At Maharashtra School and College
The class were waiting for the teacher to come meanwhile they were messing about as it was the perfect time, no teacher you see.
Anika as usual sat next to Navya. Shivaay gave a note to Krish, who gave it to Navya and Navya gave it to Anika.
“Ani, a note for you from your jaaneman” Navya giggled.
“Shut up!” Anika yelled.
The note stated
“Anika, meet me at park after school, I have to discuss something, its urgent please turn up!”
“What is it?” Navya asked curiously.
“Nothing, he was asking if…if I applied the shampoo he gave me” Anika replied.
“Shampoo, haha, your jaaneman is so cute!” Navya chimed.
“Shut up, ok!” I yelled yet again.
At Canteen…
Shivaay went up to Anika, when Navya and Krish weren’t around.
“Remember to come ok, its very very important!” Shivaay claimed.
“Ok, ok, I will…” Anika gave a false smile.
“Good” Shivaay indicated by putting his thumbs up.
At park, after school…
Shivaay was waiting for Anika. He was walking side to side.
“I don’t she will come, but will wait” Shivaay thought.
Anika appeared with her bicycle.
“So what the ‘important’ thing!” Anika questioned.
“So you know friendship day on Sunday, I was thinking that we can surprise our friends by making them have a special date, you know what I mean, but I don’t know if your friend feels the same way as my friend” Shivaay explained.
Anika’s pov
“What a coincidence” I thought as I had the same idea.
“That means that Krish also likes Navya!” I smirked.
“Yes! I wanted to ask you if Navya likes Krish, and she does!” Shivaay beamed in happiness.
“So, the plan is somehow, get them here, in the park by some excuse and let them spend some time here!” I marveled.
“High Five” Shivaay chimed.
I was so happy that I gave him a high five later felt awkward…
