(The bus driver again blew the horn)
Tia woke up from her dream. She was looking at the door.
“Ayan is such a lazy guy, the clock without battery will show you the right time at least once in a day, but he can never be here on time,” Mayra said.
Bus Driver burst into a laugh, and everybody joined him.
“Sorry driver uncle.” A voice turned everyone’s attention toward the door. He is ayan , the most popular guy of St.xaviers. “Where were you ayan baba? We are already late,” the Driver uncle said.
“Well,sb bhgwaan ki MAYA hai. Hey Maya! wassup?!” Ayan teased Mayra. “Don’t call me Maya, understood?!” Mayra shouted. “Hahaha ..ok, miss Mayra,” Ayan said.
He stepped toward the back seat and returned with the same speed.
“Hello miss..gorgeous..yes..gorgeous.what’s your name?!” Ayan said. “She is Tia, ” Mayra replied on behalf of Tia. “Lovely name, just like you, pretty girl,” Ayan said.
“aayu, stop flirting with her. she is different,” Mayra said. “U know her?” Ayan asked. “No, She is new here,” Mayra said. “Yet you know that She is different? hahaha..guys, Mayra knows everything.” Ayan laughed.
“Leave her, yaar. Trust me. You are damn pretty,” Ayan continued.
Tia was already nervous about the new challenges She would have to face in her new school, and now these kinds of stuff. she felt irritated. ” Excuse me,” Tia said.
“Ok, ok, enough is enough, now get back to your seat Aayu,” Mayra said.
” You don’t need to worry about him. He is crazy. He is just fun-loving and my childhood friend too.” Mayra said to Tia.
Ayan laughed.
“Be comfortable, miss gorgeous. I was kidding,” Ayan said to Tia and passed her a water bottle. “No, it’s ok, I’m fine” Tia refuses to take the bottle.
She gave a shy smile to Mayra. Maybe, She wanted to thank her for the growing friendship between her and Mayra.
(The bus entered the parking lot of St.xaviers.)
