Just Hold On

12

----Pooja's POV----

Getting up after the weekend is the hardest thing in the world. I wanna sleep! I like sleep, I do not like school.

I sighed and got up. I got ready and went downstairs.

Where the hell was everyone?

"Hey, let's go or you'll get late,"Arya said.

"Where the others?"I asked.

"They left early to print out some stuff for a class, because ours ran out of ink,"she said.

"Oh okay. Let's get going,"I said and we left.

We got to class right in time for English.

We sat down in our desk and a few seconds later the class started.

"Okay, so we've been discussing theme and messages for the past week. Now, it's time for you all to put your knowledge to use. I will be assigning a book and with it you all will have stuff due every Monday,"our professor said.

He went on and told us the name of the book and who it's by. As well as what he expects on the homework answers.

With that he ended class.

"You wanna go check the bookstore after class?"I questioned.

"Sure,"Arya said, as we walked to science.

We noticed Mahek and Shehry talking, so we just went inside. Who knows where the others were?

We walked inside and sat down.

"Hello,"Waqas said.

"Hey,"I said. "Oh, I need to tell you something."

I went on and told about the party we are planning for Divya.

"Alright, sounds good. We will see you all there,"he said.

"Great,"I said.

The professor started class.

"Okay, important news about your lab," he said. "We will be having our first lab session after Dormal. Which I recommend everyone attend. Don't miss out these opportunities. College is all about having fun."

Ugh! Divya is here! Don't talk about that!

She turned around and looked at me. I just put my face down on my desk.

Thankfully, the professor started lecture.

---Waqas' POV---

Okay, I get enough of this from the guys.

I sighed but pretend to still care about what he was saying.

Pooja, on the other hand, just her put her head down on her desk.

Looks like I found someone else that was dreading this.

Our professor started lecture, which was probably the first time ever I was thankful the teacher was getting back to the subject at hand.

-----Arya's POV----

After science class me and Pooja went to the bookstore for English book.

"We just got the last one sold. You can try Barnes and Noble,"the person said.

"Okay,"we said and left.

"Okay, I have to get home and study for my math test tomorrow,"Pooja said.

"It's fine. I'll go and get us copies,"I said.

"Thank you. I'll pay you back,"she said.

"I will not get you one, if you're going to pay me back,"I said.

"But..."

"No,"I said.

"Acha, teek hai,"she said and we went our ways.

I got a taxi to the store. I paid the driver and went inside.

I figured where the book would be and walked that way.

"Kya yaar. I don't want to read this,"I heard a familiar voice complain on the other side.

"Shut it. You have to read it to pass,"I heard another familiar voice.

"Hi, do you need help with anything?" A store associate asked.

"Oh yeah, I was looking for..."I said and went on and told him the name of the book I needed.

"Of course, we have it on the other side,"he said and I followed.

No wonder those voices were familiar.

"Is this the one?"The store associate asked.

"Yep,"I said.

"Alright, let us know if you need any other thing,"he said and left.

"Hey guys,"I said.

"Hey,"they both said.

"You're going to get started this?"Sain questioned.

"Yeah. I don't like having to worry about things til the last minute,"I said.

"Learn something from her,"Waqas said to him.

"Oh ho, kasa yaar hai tu?"Sain questioned.

"Okay, be like that,"Waqas said and left.

"Acha toh store wali larki, ek batth daso,"he said.

"Arya,"I said.

"Excuse me,"he said.

"Mera naam,"I said.

"I know that.  We hang out together, but I prefer to call you that,"he said.

"Ugh!"I said and walked away.

Kassa larka hai yeh?

----Pooja's POV----

"Why does everyone keep talking about the stupid dance?"I asked.

"Because I got asked to it,"Mahek said.

"Oye hoye!!"I said.

"He finally asked her out,"Husna said.

"Mubarak ho,"I said.

"Stop that,"she said. "It's only a date. Shaddi nahi hai."

"Woh be ho ji gi,"Me and Husna said.

"You girls are too much,"Mahek said and left.

"Alright, so one has left to be with a guy. Anyone else?"I questioned.

"Well, actually me. Atif asked me after class,"Husna said.

"Well okay then,"I said. "Abh koh vi Mubarak."

I swear if Arya walked through that door with a date, I'll never go back to college til after the dance.

What the heck was taking her forever anyways?
