Chapter Thirteen: Mr. Stone Face
Tanya
*flashback*
I have never seen him around
the campus. While I was busy trying all possibilities of why was he here,
Principal suddenly entered the class.
All the students got up and
greeted him as we usually did for any teacher or anyone respected who entered
the class. He asked us to take our seats and started his usual blabber.
Possibly to introduce this guy.
"My Dear students,
there's a sad as well as a good news for all of you. Sad news was Mr. Sinha
your class advisor and in-charge had to leave the college due to some personal
reasons.
The good news was that he
might return. But till he returns, he sent a substitute to guide you all in his
subject. We have Mr. Abish Roy as your new class advisor and in-charge for the
rest of the semester. Mr. Abish is a genius in the world of computers and
ethical hacking. Has worked with IIT and ISRO and namely such other major
organizations at very tender age and has won many awards for our college as
well.
He was once here, in your
place as a student but now, he is back here as a teacher and I hope you guys
will make most of his guidance.”
“Thank you Abish, for
accepting my offer to teach these brilliant minds. I hope you'll have a
pleasant teaching experience." Principal finally ended his blabbering. The
results of which could be easily seen on our faces.
Is it necessary to make everything boring and lengthy?
"Thank you, sir, for
your offer to guide these young brains and for a lovely introduction. You have
way with your words sir but now I guess the introduction took much of lecture
time and there's a lot to cover up." Mr. Stone faced said.
As he slayed our poor
principal with stone faced look and smooth sword of words, Principal Sir smiled
and left us with this stone-faced warrior like teacher.
Mr. Stone face continued with
his speech. Seriously I loved Mr. Sinha's lectures more than his. He was way
too mathematical, arrogant, and stone faced. While I kept cursing at him
mentally, I just glanced at Ruhani. Oh god! This girl has some serious boy
issues.
Ruhani was drooling over this
guy. I squint my eyes and look at Mr. Stone face. What could be Ruhani seeing
in him? Seriously apart from Rehan, this girl has some serious taste issues in
boys.
She was resting her chin on
palm of her hand and was literally drooling over Mr. Stone face. I pulled her
hand quickly on which she was resting her chin and as I did that her jaw hit
the desk.
"Oi!" she screamed
and entire class turned their heads towards us.
"What happened?"
Stone faced asked Ruhani, who was too busy pampering her chin.
She glared at me and said
"nothing sir, I'm sorry to disturb."
"Both of you, out of my
class right now!" He pointed at both of us and ordered.
"But s…sir…" Ruhani
stammered. But before she could speak she was silenced by Mr. Stone face.
"No arguments. Do I need
to mention, even I was a student once? Now kindly leave and let me
continue." He snapped.
Ruhani was on the verge of
tears as she had heard that. She ran out of the class crying. I followed her
and glared back at Mr. Stone face. I looked across the whole corridor but she
wasn't there. A thought struck my mind. She
could be at her favourite place.
I found her at the same place
where I had expected her to be. She was sitting on the green lawns, with face
deep dug in knees sobbing. The flower gardens in the campus were always her
favourite place. She was a nature lover after all.
I placed my hand over her
shoulder. She didn't look up.
"Hey Ruhani it's
me."
"I-I k-know..." She
said with sobs in between.
"What you're crying
for?" I said rubbing her back.
"I don't know. No one
has ever shouted like this at me before. I have never been thrown out of
class."
"Oh c'mon Ruhani, Stop
fussing like a kid. That was just a normal lecture. Doesn't matter much, huh?
Does it?"
"It might not matter to
you, but this was a big insult for me." She snapped at me.
From when did getting thrown out of class started to count as
insult? This
girl will drive me crazy.
"Ruhani don't give me
this crap. We've been bunking lectures and have been thrown out of class several
times." I snapped back.
"I know, but well,
leave." She tried to explain.
I hugged her with one arm
around her neck and ruffled her hair.
"Hey, I saw you drooling
over that stone face. What's going on? Anything I need to know?" I
squinted my eyes and giving her a suspicious look.
"What?" she
chirped, immediately a wave of blush spread across her cheeks..
"That's was quite a
quick reply miss. So, are you going to tell me what's cooking up inside your
head?" I smirked.
"No way. I'm going to
tell you." She stood up hastily and rolled her tongue out at me and ran
towards class.
"Hey wait for me!"
I shouted and ran behind her. This girl
seriously needed to grow up.
The lecture was about to get
over and that was our last lecture for the day. I waited outside the class but
Ruhani was nowhere to be seen. The as the period bell rang, all the students
packed up their bags and began to leave..
I was about to enter the
class while Ruhani suddenly pushed me from back. My head tackled someone. I
lost my balance and fell, taking that person down along with me. I fell
straight on top of him.
I realized it was Mr. Stone
face. I quickly got up and straightened my dress.
"Sorry sir, I didn't
mean that." Ruhani apologized.
Mr. Stone face didn't say
anything. He just glared at both of us for a few seconds and left.
"Phew! That was a close
encounter." Ruhani sighed and there was a grin on her face.
"Yeah, I know
idiot." I grinned back and suddenly we burst out into laughter. We took
our bags and left the classroom. Rehan was waiting outside for us. Seeing us
smiling down the way, he asked the reason for our brightly smiling faces. We
narrated the whole thing to him that happened in class.
He grinned and waived his head in an apologetic manner.
