-" what's the problem with my hair??" Varun asked.
-"you look hot in wet hair..." How this word escaped her mouth she just got surprised by herself.
'how awkward. Take me up or let me bury in the earth.
Both were puzzled.
-"what's hot??" Granny entered the room.
-"the room is hot. I want to go to the balcony. Excuse me please." She rushed out of the room. Her head still spinning like a wheel.
Granny stood puzzled. It's December...How could it be hot??
Varun got ready in a hurry and they set out for the school.
-"beta, it's nice to meet you. Please come often" granny said while they're leaving.
-"surely granny. I will." Amyra said. 'i wish I could' thinking in mind.
They were both walking silently across the beautiful road.. between the woods.. for her, it was a dream coming true... although she was silent her mind was running crazy.
'how could I say that to him? What he is thinking of me? I disgust myself'
-"We are near the school you may go now by yourself." Varun broke the silence.
'does he feel such disgust people seeing him with me. Or there is something else' Amyra thought in mind. And replied with a simple "ok" nodding her head.

It was physics class and the teacher was assigning project works to do.
-"I'll divide you into groups. and the group excelling the project will present our school in upcoming inter-school science exhibition. So good luck." The teacher seemed excited with her voice.
Amyra was grouped with Amit, Sheetal, and (to her excellent luck) Varun.
-"teacher, can't we choose our group partners ourselves?" Varun asked.
Amyra was in shock, 'does he mean he has some problems being with her?'
-"No. I've placed two good and two weak students in each group. And it's final. You can't switch groups" teacher replied.
Though being in the same group Amyra was disappointed.
'does he hate me this much? So my grandmother is right no one will ever love me. Even my birth costed my mother's life. I am a disaster to all.'
It was break time and she was sitting on her desk.
-"are you upset?" Asked Amit sitting beside her.
-"no" she shook her head.
-"it's just a project. I know you don't like this subject as I don't. But don't worry Varun and Sheetal are too good. We will just chat and offer our hands whenever needed. So just chill." Amit added.
-"can I ask you something?" Amit was a bit puzzled with Amyra's sudden question.
-"Of course darling, just don't tell that you like me" Amit laughed.
-"shut up yaa... I am seriously serious. Why did Varun want to change his group? Is this me the reason behind.?" she asked.
-"hey stupid girl, it's not you... it's Sheetal... There's something interesting between them. You'll get to know it slowly...haha..have some patience and you'll enjoy a lot."Varun laughed and before she could ask anything else he stood up,
-"Today we are going to meet up at Varun's place as it will be perfect for our project to carry out and keep some curiosity for later on. come at 7 o'clock sharp, don't be late. our captain doesn't like unpunctual ones." and he was gone back to his own desk, as the break was already over the teacher entered the class.
' What's interesting between Varun and Sheetal? Is it love? Certainly, not...he doesn't even want to be with her for the physics project... Then what???' she thought and thought but finally calmed herself down, at least she is not the reason that he wanted to left for another group. She breathed a sigh of relief.

It was 6:30 pm and Amyra reached Varun's place earlier than the actual time. -"our captain doesn't like unpunctual ones" she remembered as Amit told her in class. She knocked, but to her surprise, the door was not closed thus opened with her slight knocks...
There was no one inside, she felt nervous but with a little hesitation, she entered the room...
And then only she heard the sound of opening the bathroom door...Varun came out, only a towel covering his lower part, his bare sexy body revealed his abs.
-"I am sorry, I should have knocked. I must leave." Amyra said and was about to go out of the room.
-"wait," said Varun and stepped forward her. Amyra took some steps back and reached the walls. he came in front of her, she was sweating as on a hot summer day. He grabbed her waist and pulled her near his chest.
-"I have some debts to clear with you." he lowered his head and took his lips near her ear, then he whispered in her ear.
She felt some unknown feelings running down from her ear to more sensitive parts of her body.
She lowered her face as her cheeks got a blush of red unknowingly...
-"do you think I don't know anything, how you always look at me in the class, just like a greedy child looking at a lollipop. And today what you said, I looked hot... I know how to cool you down."
He holds her chin and drags it upward. Amyra felt the distance between their lips decreasing gradually...
