Planet of Extinct

Chapter-27

They spoke to Zoe and calmed her down before they set their foot on Earth again.

"Saish, sister of Godzilla, is asking for you," Nishan informed as soon as entered the room.

"What now?" Mona slapped her forehead.

"You took time. I don't want this to repeat. I call you, you come in minutes," the said Godzilla barked as they entered the room. They just stood in front of her not even bothering to waste their energy answering her.

"I don't tolerate brats. Anyway, we are issuing time for your intersports competitions. It's a waste of time. However, as you are participating, I want you guys to win. We don't raise losers in this school. Make sure to win every competition if you don't want me to ban the interschool thing from next year. You don't want your juniors to resent you, do you?" The Principal said the reason why she called for Mona and Saish.

Mona rolled her eyes secretly and Saish maintained his cold face. They nodded and exited the room. 😑

"She. Is. A. Witch" Mona mouthed. Saish just shook his head. "She is the descendent of Hitler. She is a tyrant. She talks as if we aren't winning almost every competition every year. We are winners even without her warning and acknowledgement. She is........I don't know, I ran out of bad words for her" Mona continued venting out her frustration, and as ever, Saish was listening to her.

He surely is bewitched.

"What about the last week's test? Did you do well? You guys looked a lot stressed this time" Saish asked once her anger subsided.

"Tough chapter. But ya, we tried and got a decent score. I can't say I am happy with it, but I am not disappointed," Mona said in a tiny voice.

"Chapter that needs a lot of mugging up?"

"Exactly. It tests only the memory and recollecting ability of the student, not the concept. And you know I suck at mugging things up" Mona answered.

They held small talks till they had to take separate routes to get to their classes. The kind of small talk that soothed souls. Just a tiny sneak peek into how their lives have been lately. Updates.

That evening, they planned on going to their favourite spot. It's been a while since the five of them sat down and just chilled. The last time they went there was the summer break before the year started, which was almost 7 months ago.

"Wow, this feels like ages ago", Jesvi said, resting her head on Nishan's shoulder.

"I know, right?" Mona was living the moment. The river bank was peaceful. De-stressing

"Hmm," Sunaira hummed.

They heard the sweetcorn sound this time too. They exchanged glances and sprinted to the vendor. Their running races will never get old. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ So much changed but not them.

"I want to do this even after we turn sixty and become slouched" Nishan grinned.

"You mean eating corn?" Mona asked, busy stuffing the corn seeds into her digestive system.

"Noo, I meant us" Nishan griemaced.

"You sure your wife will let you hang out with girls?" Jesvi's tone turned teasing.

"My wife wouldn't mind if I spent some time with her best friends."

Nishan beamed, seeing the pink tinge on Jesvi's cheeks. Her teasing side long drowned into the river.

"Cringe" Sunaira turned her head to the other side.

"Touché" Mona did the same.

Saish laid back on the ground. The cool breeze tousled his hair. He slipped into musing. Which slowly led him to close his eyes and he drifted to sleep. Carefree.

No one noticed him sleeping, being busy with their squabble. When Mona realised, "Shh. He is sleeping" she silenced everyone. She removed her school coat and covered him. 🫠

'He is looking....offf. His cheekbones, his eyebrows, omg, his messy hair. It should be illegal to look this ravishing even while sleeping. He looks so peaceful' Mona's gaze savoured each feature. A small smile crept to her lips unknowingly. She shoved back an irresistible urge to kiss his forehead into the corner of her head and locked it up tight with a hundred locks. 'He is dangerous. Uff.'

Saish slightly tossed. And she broke from the spell he cast on her. She cleared her throat, embarrassed to the core.

"I need a picture of this" Jesvi snapped a picture of sleeping Saish. "I am going to edit a drool on his face and add a few snoring sounds", she smirked wickedly.

"Don't! If you do not want to find your phone in the trash can or the river, Jes" Mona matched the wicked smile Jesvi had.

Jesvi didn't mind the threat at all.

"Post it in our group after you are done. Make sure to make him hideous" Nishan helped her in deforming Saish's handsome face.

"It will not end well when he sees it" Sunaira murmured.

"Oh come on. I live to get on his nerves" Nishan shrugged. 😝
