"Wake up you sleepy-head, Do you wanna get late for your first day of 10th standard?"

"It's tomorrowww!!", Karan groaned pulling over the blanket back snuggling close inside.

"No!! It's today, it's first!"

"Yeah, thirty first!!"

"No, not thirty first but only first!!", She pulled off his blanket, facepalming, realising he has messed up the month's days count again, as he always does. Opening his eyes slowly looking up at her frowning, he stretched his hand towards the table, searching for his phone to confirm the same.

Clicking on his phone, blinking his eyes rapidly at the bright light of the screen, his eyes fell on the date which read "1st July", making him facepalm and then rub his temple at how stupid he was to think the next day would be 31 despite knowing well it was June.

"Oh god, I'm super late", he jumped down the bed panicking looking at the clock which ticked at "7:15". Throwing off his blanket he quickly grabbed the towel entering the washroom, leaving his mom shaking her head in disbelief who murmured to herself chuckling before treading back downstairs

"Some things never change!"

"Areee... You here already? You could come even after some hours, wouldn't have made much difference", Aman shook his head gently checking his watch smiling an over-sweet smile at Karan who murmured an "Oh shut up", rolling his eyes.

Taking his bag off his shoulders, placing it down, he looked down releasing a deep sigh. His hands on his hips as he calmed his running heartbeats, catching his breathe back, relaxing himself after a quick marathon, of course in his cycle, from his home to the school in just 3 minutes.

He finally had the leisure to take a breathe of relief, having made it to school just before some few minutes, which seemed an impossible task at one moment.

Raising his head up, spinning his eyes all around the classroom, a smile formed across his face as he commented

"Wow, the classroom's still same! It didn't change even a bit!"

"You expected it to grow flowers all around?"

"You and your lame replies!", Karan rolled eyes, before gazing up looking for that one person his eyes were eager to meet. Meeting with whom a delightful smile enveloped his tired-stricken face, just a mere glance at her smiling face making him grin shooing away the little tiredness lurking on his face.

The elements of confusion soon taking over his face, as he blinked his eyes following the direction of Aditi's gaze which was the centre of attraction of almost whole class that moment, at least of all the girls who whispered things into their friend's ear and then laughed turning towards each other shaking their heads.

"What's all this crowd about?", Karan asked eyeing the group of boys surrounding around someone in the last bench, where remained all the eyes focused.

"Oh that, some new moron..",Aman coughed before re-phrasing his statement

"I mean new guy has joined! Nothing much"

Karan arched his eyebrows and then laughed at his words, before turning towards Aditi noticing her facial expressions who was also looking towards the new guy laughing at something making him roll his lips

"Let's see what this guy has to offer!"

"Nothing interesting! Nowhere close to my comparison, not sure about you though!!", Amam smirked commenting passing his hand through his hair peeking at Karan's face who raised eyebrows at his comment punching him on his shoulder making him and then Karan laugh.
