Chapter Eight - Unbelievable Texts

We were at the cafe, going through the charts, copying the others stuff. Arnav had a few problems so I helped him out with that. Soon enough, time had passed by and it was time to go.

"Now for the written report," Arnav said. "And then there's extra credit if you make a picture of the baby."

"Yeah, I don't know about that, but okay," I chuckled slightly.

Arnav chuckled as well and then he smiled. "Well, laters then."

I nodded. "Laters," I smiled lightly.

I turned to walk away. A few steps- oh who am I kidding! Exactly six steps after, Arnav called out to me.

"Khushi!"

I stopped and turned. "Yeah?"

Arnav came walking over to me and stood about an arm's distance away from me. "Um... there was something I wanted to ask you."

I scrunched my eyebrows. "Sure."

"Um... well I was wondering if..." he looked down, hands in his pockets, and then back at me, "... if you wanted to go out with me sometime?"

My jaw nearly dropped and I nearly tripped without even moving. Sex-on-legs say what?! Holy... this-is-a-dream, this-is-a-dream, this-is-a-dream, this-is-a-dream, this-is-a-dream, this-is-a-dream!!!!!!!!

I carefully pinched myself and everything was the same.

Eeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!

This is all real!!!!!!!!!

"Um," I finally managed to say, "I... I-I-I would l-love to."

Arnav smiled lightly, looking relieved.

What da fuh? He's relieved?!

"Great! Um, how about I text you later."

I nodded. "S-sure," I stuttered.

Way to play it smooth -___-

Arnav nodded and then bent down and kissed me on my left cheek. He turned away with a smile and left. As he walked away from me, my left hand slowly came up to my cheek. My cheek lingered and I was in complete shock.

THE Arnav Singh Raizada kissed me! ME! Khushi Kumari Gupta! Arnav Singh Raizada kissed me, Khushi Kumari Gupta!!

Eeeeeeeeeppppppp!!!!!!!

I turned around and headed home, completely jolly- and I mean jolly! I was skipping down the street like a little girl and people stared at me like 'what the fuh is wrong with her?' but I could care any less.

*~*

At home, I was completely happy. My parents found it weird and peculiar, but I didn't care. I was in my room, doing homework on my iPad. I decided to take a break and went on Tumble Boy's page.

Time to break the news to him 

Going on Tumblr, I replied to what he wrote back earlier.

there won't be any realization bcuz I know who I have feelings for. And guess what? HE ASKED ME OUT!!

Refresh:

There a was a respose immediately.

Dayum.


he did what?!

he asked me out
And I said yes 

Refresh:

you're kidding me! You're just saying that

am not *smirking* in fact, he's gonna text me soon, so I gotta go - I have better things to do

And I logged out, and to tell you the truth, it felt good.

I went back to my homework and about more than half an hour later, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw that there was a text. Unlocking my phone, I saw that it was Arnav.

>hey

Eeeeppp!

>hey

>what's up?

>not much. Homework. You?

>not much. Working on the project =/ it sucks -___-

>lol totally agree with you. Did you start the writing portion?

>a little bit. I couldn't go past the first bullet point - its driving me insane

>lol omg is it that bad? I only skimmed through it

>it's that bad - trust me

Sigh...

>are you free Friday night?

Oh?

>um... I should be

>cool. Wanna go see a movie?

Arnav and me? At the movies? Sitting next to each other? Sharing a big tub of popcorn? And then making out?

Yes!!!!!!!

Okay, so maybe not the popcorn and making out part, but okay!!

>sure. Got a movie in mind?

>not really. Know anything good that's playing?

>I'm not exactly sure. Did you check Fandango?

>completely forgot about that lol

>lol

>I'll check and tell you what's available

>kk

A few minutes later, Arnav texted me.

>'Kay, so there's Thor: The Dark World, Ender's Game, and Free Birds.

>okay. Any choices?

>im fine with all of them. Hbu?

>im thinking Thor. Fine with you?

>yerp

>great. So then it's that

>okay.

"Khushi! Come down to eat," Amma hollered.

"Coming!"

>I gotta go - dinner

>kay. See you tomorrow.

>=) okay

Omg!!! We were texting each other!! Like couples!! Okay, so maybe like beginner couples, but that's still okay!

Chapter Seven - SOS - Squares, Orgasms, and Shouting

"So you filled your chart out," Arnav asked.

We were in Professor Hippie's class, with once again, a substitute.

"Yeah, I did."

After recovering from that video, I had managed to complete my work.

"Great. So let's fill out the other's info."

Looking at each others paper, we filled out the other's info.

"So...."

I looked at Arnav. "So...?"

"I'm sorry, but I was trying to think up of a conversation," he smiled lightly.

I giggled. "Oh, okay."

"So... hows school?"

"It's okay.... Can't wait to graduate."

"You bet. You an only child?"

"Yeah. You? Oh wait, you have a sister."

"Yeah. Her name's Anjali."

"Yeah, I once had class with her."

"Oh. ... How'd you know she was my sister?"

"Who doesn't?"

He scrunched his eyebrows and I bit my tongue.

"Well," I managed to say, "you are quite popular. ... And your friend Aman."

He smiled. "Really? Didn't realize," he slightly smirked.

"You have no idea," I said under my breath.

"So what's the next part," he asked as he finished his chart.

"We create punnett squares."

"Oh, you mean the box where we find out the possible outcomes."

"Yeah."

"Well its a lot of stuff, so how about I do the bottom half, and you do the top half."

"Um... okay."

We started on the squares and soon enough, the period ended.

"Well I didn't finish," he sighed.

I giggled. "Same here."

"Martinez said we'd have a lesson today, so... cafe?"

"Sure. After Martinez?"

"Sure."

"Great! See ya at Martinez."

"See ya."

He got up and left the room, giving me a wink before he left. I felt my heart stop for a split second and then thump like crazy! Whoa boy, you're gonna make me have an orgasm!

Uh... did I just.... Let me not.

*~*

Lavanya and I sat together and I showed her the video as we sat in class, with a sub. Arnav was with Aman behind us and we made sure they couldn't see.

"Omg," she whispered.

"I know!"

"That sure was something. You know his friend posted one too, and-"

"Please don't."

"'Kay fine, but still! Dayum!"

I locked my iPad. "I ended up watching it seven times! Now eight!"

"What?! You're joking!"

I shook my head. "Not at all."

"Why?"

"Because I can," I defended. ".. and besides... you said guys watch it all the time. So why can't a girl?"

Lavanya held her hands up. "Whatever you say chief."

I rolled my eyes and checked to see if Tumblr Boy had replied.

you bet I'm crazy - crazy for you ;-)

-___- you just won't stop will you

Refresh:

nope. Can't help myself

ugh! Doesn't it irritate you eventually

Refresh:

no, not really

-_____- your balls need to get chopped off

Refresh:

=O
My, my! My sweet, innocent angel is getting ballsy. Must be the guy you're leaving me for :'(

Tears? Really? But why?

I can be ballsy if I want. And who knows - maybe it is bcuz of the guy I'm leaving you for

Shit! I shouldn't have wrote that!

Refresh:

aha! So you are interested in me B)

AM NOT!

Refresh:

really? Cause your shouty capitals say something else

They do not! I am not interested in you but I'm interested in the other guy! Hmph!

Refresh:

yeah. Sure. Keep telling that to yourself

excuse me?!

Refresh:

you're excused. But don't worry babe. You'll realize eventually ;-)

Frustrated, I locked the screen. The nerve of that guy!! How dare he?!

"Khushi?"

"What," I roared.

Shit! It was Arnav who called out my name! Fuck! I slowly turned to her and saw Arnav looking at me confusedly.

"Um... you okay," Arnav asked.

I shook my head. "No, no, I'm fine. Just... it's nothing."

"Oh. ... okay. Um, did you continue the sheet?"

"I've been working on it."

"Oh okay. I had some trouble with some so I wanted to discuss those with you later at the cafe."

"Sure. No prob."

Arnav leaned back with a smile and spoke to Aman. I looked back at my iPad and groaned.

This Tumblr Boy is getting under my skin!
