*15 year leap*
The Raizada's are a well know family who live in Delhi and they own AR Fashion House. The had originally lived in Mumbai, but shifted to Delhi few months back. After Arnav was born, Manorama delivered a baby boy, Akash, who is 6 months younger than Arnav. Akash, Anjali and Arnav have been brought up together in the same house and get a long pretty well.
Khushi and Payal have also grown up together. Sashi went from working in tailoring store, to now owning his own textile company that is well known. After they had opened the company, the entire family shifted to Delhi and has been living there for a few months.
*First day of high school*
"Khushi! Come on! We're getting late and it's your first day today!" Payal yelled from inside the car. She then saw Khushi approaching who made her way to the car. Khushi sat in the backseat next to Payal, they both looked back at the door and waved to their mom.
"Shall we go?" Sashi asked his daughters
"Yes!" They both yelled in unison. Sashi drove out of the gate and made his way to their school.
"Khushi, remember to behave well, don't do anything bad and be nice to others," Sashi told her while glancing at het through the front mirror.
"I know dad, I'll be good and behave well," she replied
"That's my girl," he said while pulling into the school parking lot. Khushi and Payal got out of the car, waved to their dad and made their way towards the entrance of the school.
"Khushi, here is your schedule. Read it to find out what class you need to go to, and ask a teacher or someone if you need any help. I have to go to my class, see you at the end of the day," Payal said and made her way into the crowd.
Khushi looked at her paper and started walking, only to bump into another figure of her size
=====================================
"Di, hurry up! It's my first day and I don't want to be late," Arnav said while waiting for his sister to finish her breakfast. Anjali gulped down her orange juice and said, "Achha Chotte, let's go." She grabbed her bag and then turned towards Akash who was reading in the living room, "Akash, let's go." Akash put his book away, grabbed his book bag and followed his Bhai and Di out of the Raizada Mansion.
Outside, Mohan, the driver was waiting for them. He opened the doors when he saw them approaching and asked them to put on their seat belts once they got into the car. They arrived at school after about 15 minutes. Anjali got out of the car and helped her brothers get out as well.
"Anjali Beta, I'll be waiting her in the same spot to pick you guys up again in the afternoon," Mohan said.
"Ki, teek hai," Arnjali replied as Mohan drove out.
"Di, my paper?" Arnav asked her. Anjali took out a paper and gave one to him, and one to Akash.
"Here are your guys' schedules, if you need any help just ask a teacher or someone else, I have to get to my class now," Anjali patted her brother's cheeks and left towards her class.
"Bhai, my class is on the other side of the school, I'll get going," Akash said and left for his class.
Arnav was reading his paper when he bumped into someone.
==================================
"ah!" Khushi yelled as she fell back due all her things falling. Arnav looked up from his paper and realized that he had just bumped into someone. The girl fell back and all her things fell with her also.
"I'm so sorry," he said as he picked up all her things then extended his hand forward to help her up. Khushi accepted his hand, stood up and brushed off all the dirt on her clothes.
"It's okay, it was probably my fault, I was too busy reading and didn't know where I was going," Khushi said as she took all of her things from him.
"What were you reading?"Arnav asked
"Oh nothing, just my schedule. It's my first day here and I don't know where any of the classes are," Khushi told him
"Same! It's my first day here also. Maybe I can help you,' Arnav said
"How are you going to help me if you don't know anything and it's your first day here as well?" Khushi asked with a giggle.
"Just give me your schedule and let me have look," Arnav said and took the schedule out of her hands. "Ok, so you're homeroom is in room A213, that means it's on the second story, hallway A" Arnav said while motioning to her where it was
"Thanks for the help, I better get going, the bell will probably ring soon," Khushi said
"Ok, see you around," Arnav said and walked off.
Khushi started going towards the stairs then turned around to ask him what his name was, but he had already left. Khushi climbed up the stairs and made her way to her classroom, she took a seat in the back of the classroom. A few minutes later the bell rang and the teacher, Ms. Kumar walked int. She took everyone's attendance, went over the general rules of the school and told them to wait till the bell rings so they could head to their next class.
When the bell rang, both Arnav and Khushi got up to go to their next class. Khushi walked into her class and sat down in an empty seat. Since she was new here, she didn't know many people, so no one had sat next to her by the time that the bell rang. The teacher, Mrs. Sharma walked in and introduced herself to the teacher. She took attendance and marked one student absent and placed their seat next to the empty one beside Khushi because that was the only one left open.
Mrs. Sharma then went on to assign their first project, which they had to do along with their partners that they were seated with. Just then there was a knock on there door, "come in," Mrs. Sharma said.
Khushi noticed that it was the boy who had helped her this morning. But she never got to know his name. He's so hot! I heard he's new her. Maybe I can ask him to the school dance? His eyes just make you melt. Khushi heard the girls around her saying. Ugh. Girls these days, she thought. Falling for boys just because of looks and not personality.
"Hi Ma'am, I'm sorry I got late, got lost and it's my first day here,' he said
"No problem, just make sure that this doesn't happen again," Mrs. Sharma said. She took out het attendance paper and marked him to present, "go sit over there with Khushi," she said motioning him to his seat. Arnav looked up to where she was pointing and noticed it was the girl who he had met this morning. Her name was Khushi? Nice he thought. Didn't she also mention that she was new here? Maybe they'd get along well since both of them didn't know anyone else from here.
Arnav went and sat in his seat. He took out his notebook and started taking notes while the teacher was giving the lecture. Glancing at Khushi every few minutes to see what she was doing. After giving her lecture, the teacher reminded them that they should start their project. The bell rang and everyone got up to leave.
The teacher went up to Khushi and said, "Khushi, could you please explain to Arnav what the project is after class, since he came late?"
"Sure," she said while looking back at Arnav who smiled at her.
"Great! See you both tomorrow," Mrs. Sharma said.
"Arnav," Arnav said extending his hand forward
"Khushi," Khushi said while placing her hand in his.
"so I guess we're friends now?" Arnav asked
"Sure," she replied "Thanks for the help this morning," she said as they both made their way out of the classroom."
"No problem, where are you going next?" he said
"C103" Khushi replied looking at her schedule
"My class is in C112, I'll walk you to class if you don't mind?" Arnav said
"Of course not," Khushi said. Both of them walked down the hallway next to each other in silence. They then took the stairs down to the first floor and paused outside of Khushi's class. Khushi turned around towards him and said, "I guess I'll see you later and we can discuss the project then."
"Yeah of course, bye," Arnav said hat and disappeared into the other side of the hallways. Khushi walked into her classroom and took a seat. The class went by fast and it was now time for lunch. Khushi didn't really know anyone here, but then she saw he sister sitting with a friend of hers and decided to sit with them.
"Payal!" she said and her sister turned around.
"Hey Khushi, come have a seat with us," Payal said and scooted over a bit to give her some room.
"Khushi, this is my friend...
