Unexpected love

Ch 29- Friend/Teacher

Reaching school just before the time, Karan huffed releasing a sigh. Parking his cycle in utter laziness he walked slowly dragging his feet all the way to the classroom.

His eyes closing every second out of tiredness, his sleep wasn't completed courtesy the early morning bed bath by his dear mom. He slept late, as he was helping his enthusiastic sister operate the laptop. She called her just when he was about to sleep, asking him to teach her how to switch on the laptop and the various things she could see on the screen upon switching it on.

He so wanted to tell her that he will teach her everything the next day but then listening to the curiousity she held in her voice he explained her everything over call, answering every single question put forth.

Yawning and stretching his hands wide he entered the class only to get surprised over the view. Listening the chuckles which followed with his entry, his eyes which were shut earlier as he yawned, opened slowly with his eyelids blinking out of confusion, watching everyone seated at their place laughing at him.

Growing confused and then giving them a weird look as if they had never seen someone yawn and stretch early in the morning, he raised his eyebrows stepping ahead. Just then a sound made him come out of his trance causing his steps to halt and his attention to shift from his classmates to the one standing by the board some metres beside him.

*Ahem, Ahem*

Coughed principal sir gaining Karan's attention, who pulled himself back quickly moving to the doorstep saying

"Sorry sir"

Karan bit his tongue bending his head feeling embarrassed, now he could understand why everyone was laughing at him. They had surely seen people yawning and stretching early in the morning but hadn't seen them doing the same in front of principal sir.

"Looks like our captain is tired!! And why not he be? He has won our school the trophy, leading his team brilliantly"

Karan had surely not expected this words from him, though it was said in his appreciation, it seemed mocking to him at that particular moment. He just acted like a dumb in front of everyone and he wasn't over that embarrassment yet and to add more to it Aman started clapping.

He raised his head giving Aman an "Stop it Idiot, you are embarrassing me" kind of look, and the result was he instead started clapping louder, and by the rule of 'unity', which is if one does anything everyone follows it blindly, everyone else in the class including principal sir started clapping. Karan pressed his lips together giving Aman a death stare who was controlling his chuckle looking at him.

"Why are you standing there, come in!"

Said sir, Karan nodded slightly keeping his head low making his way to his bench.

"We were waiting for you to arrive, keep your bag and come"

Karan's legs trembled listening to sir, he rolled his lips inside slowly walking and keeping his bag thinking what was awaiting him now.

"Aur jaldi aa jata, jaa ab gyaan baant (So early you cameq, Now go give motivational speech)"

Aman mocked Karan speaking all sarcasm as Karan placed his bag near him. Shoting him a glare, ignoring his words he walked slowly near principal sir. Though he ignored Aman's words acting as if he doesn't care but deep inside he cared lot about it mentally praying it to be anything but not speaking something.

And since it's a rule whatever Karan prays happens always the exact opposite. He was asked to share his experience of leading a team for the first time, by principal sir who kept his hand across his shoulder suddenly going all sweet completely opposite of his nature.
