Friends!

"First of all, my name is Digraj not new kid and second of all, we can be friends but only if you want to." Said Digraj with a straight face. "Bruh. What's with the attitude? Why would I have asked you to be my friend if I didn't like you in the first place? Anyways, let's be friends from now on! I don't have many friends to accompany me, there's only Ayan. So you can have lunch with us." Said Disha, excitedly.

Digraj ignored Disha and went to the washroom. "What's with him? Why is he so ignorant? Does he belong to an absolute rich family or something? He's so weird, I don't think we should be friends with him." Said Ayan, annoyingly.

"It's alright! We'll make him fix his attitude. Don't worry about it so much and we don't have any friends anyways, so let's just be with him! It would be so good if our group had 3 members instead of 2." Said Disha with a smile on her face.

"O...ok then, let's be friends with him. You won't listen to me anyways." Said Ayan in a low voice. It was already time for class, the rest of the students started coming into the class. Since the class teacher was sick, the class was going to be monitored by the math teacher.

"Hi guys! Welcome back! I am your new maths teacher, my name is Vanshika. Your old math teacher will teach your seniors from today onwards." Said Vanshika. Vanshika was already late to class, so she didn't want to waste all her time in the introductions. She started teaching the class after a few minutes.

Disha's thoughts: Hah! When will this class end!? It's already been 30 minutes, I guess 10 minutes are left now but this is the longest 10 minutes I have ever witnessed. Someone save me from this boring teacher!!! Wait, what if I just pass my time while doodling some funny things? Hmm, so what should I doodle first? Ayan? No, he's too ugly, what about...Digraj? Yeah, he's a bit handsome! It would be great if I doodle him. He would be impressed by my skills.

Disha started doodling, even though she always excelled in studies, her drawing skills were not that great. Let's say that, she was trying to doodle Digraj's face but somehow, it looked like a potato or possibly a tomato? Even though Vanshika was busy teaching, she noticed Disha ignoring her lecture.

"Disha! Disha! Stand up, right now!" Exclaimed Vanshika. Disha put her pencil down and stood up. "Why the hell were you not paying attention in class!? Do you think you're a genius!? Do you think that I am incapable of teaching you or are you too full of yourself to even listen to the things, I am saying to you right now!?" Asked Vanshika, while shouting.

"Mam, I was paying attention in class. I...I was just doodling something to distress myself." Said Disha, nervously. "Oh, so you were paying attention in class, huh? Ok then tell me the answer to the question written on the board." Said Vanshika.

"Mam.....the answer is 4050, we can use pythagoras here." Said Disha, confidently. "Hmm, you're right. It looks like I was the one who was wrong. Anyways sit down now. Digraj, stand up and tell me the answer to the next question written on the board." Said Vanshika.

"Uh.....mam..... I....I...am unaware of the answer. I am sorry, but I haven't practiced this question yet." Said Digraj. "It's okay, you're a new student. Don't pressurise yourself too much, you're sitting beside a ranker anyways. But do prepare yourself well before we meet again. I'll definitely ask you another question in the next class." Said Vanshika.

The bell rang after a few minutes and Vanshika left for another class. Like this, 3 periods passed by, and it was finally time for recess. Digraj, Disha and Ayan went together to the playground to have lunch together.

"So, my mom gave me some sandwiches today!" Said Ayan, happily. Disha, snatched his lunchbox from his hand and ran as soon as he said this. "Yo...wait! You're so bad! Why do you always do this to me!? I told you that I would share my lunch with you, didn't I?" Exclaimed Ayan.

Disha groaned and came back after a few minutes. "There you go. I won't steal your lunch from now on. Please forgive me mr Ayan." Said Disha.

"Just shut up, and have some. I'll give you some separately, in your lunch box." Said Ayan. Digraj suddenly started laughing after seeing Disha and Ayan. "Woah, this is the first time, we have seen you laugh. You look so good while laughing dude. You should be a child actor." Said Disha.

"I....actually never had any friends. Y'all are the first people that I have ever been friends with, so it was nice to see you both play like that." Said Digraj in a low voice. "Oh, you don't need to worry about that anymore. We'll share lunch with you from now on too! So dont worry, Digraj!" Said Ayan, happily.

Disha took some food from Digraj's lunch box and gave him some from her's too. All of the students went back to their classrooms after the bell rang. The school continued for another 4 periods and then, everyone went home after the dismissal.

Disha went home too. "Mom, I am back, and tomorrow we have our parents teacher meeting. So...maybe you could come there instead of dad." Said Disha in a low voice. "Why, did you score less this time!? Is that why you're afraid of your dad, huh!? Look, I don't care what you think about your dad, you NEED to score the best marks in all the tests. So now tell me, did you score good?" Asked Riya.

"I...I scored good in all of the subjects. So, you don't need to worry about dad getting angry, mom." Said Disha. She went into her room after talking to her mom. The next day, they had the parents teacher meeting. Disha went to the school with her mother, since her dad, Abhishek was busy.

"Hi, mam! Welcome to the parents teachers meeting. Disha did really great in all of the tests, so you have nothing to worry about. You just have to sign these papers and then you can take the report card home." Said Vanshika.

"Hmm, that's okay but did she do something mischievous behind my back? I mean, manners and character are more important than grades, right? So please don't hesitate to tell me if she has done anything mischievous behind my back." Said Riya.

Disha was anxious since she was famous for her jolly and mischievous behaviour. But all of the teachers ignored this because of her grades. If Vanshika told Riya the truth, Disha would face something which would completely ruin her day.
