Like Brother Unlike Sister

However Ranjan now diverted his eyes towards the ground. There was Principal Shruti in the ground. As he was watching her he murmured a few words.

"So near yet so far. Am I doing this Right?"

This was like he wasn't the Ranjan who is always cheerful. He was like lost in his own world while looking outside. He was not particularly sad either but he was really far from what he was till now.

While Ranjan was looking at the ground suddenly a sound forced him back in his senses.

"Hey Ranjan!"

It was the voice of Vivek. Vivek was unable to notice the change in Ranjan…. No that might not be right, Ranjan was able to cover before could Vivek Notice.

"Congratulations my lil Brother. You were finally able to be friends with her."

"Brother? Thank you anyway but why brother now?"

Vivek was now fed up with this. He almost knew that once Ranjan Decided it, no one can stop him. Moreover he wasn't much bothered by this.

"Weren't you bothered with me calling you Friend? So I decided to change it to brother. Moreover, She…"

"Yeah Yeah, Leave it with you and your Unreasonable Reasoning". Vivek Interrupted to Ranjan's not so annoying reply.

He was now started to wonder "Is he really clueless or is he just stubborn". Of course it was hard to believe that this guy was the one who came first in entrance exam and broke a 230 years old record

"Well anyway I heard that our Class Teacher (Home-Room Teacher) will be here at any time so lets hope we do good together."

He was quite embarrassed to say these words. Afterall these words didn't suit his personality. Apart from the fact that he was doing so much to befriend his crush, he was quite a badass who didn't seem the type to thank anyone. It might be the friendly nature of Ranjan that Vivek Really was able to Open up his heart with him.

"Huh! Ah Sure"

Even Ranjan was shocked from those words of Vivek. However what shocked him more what when Vivek sat in the seat next to him, line 2 last seat.

"What? hey why are you in the back bench?"

"Are you the one to talk?"

As Ranjan asked Vivek about his seat, Vivek Answer in another question.

"Well I was a backbencher my whole life so it's normal, But you are a one hell of a intelligent guy so shouldn't you be in front. Moreover Sheetal should be there as well."

"You aren't blind are you? See Sheetal is in seat next to me."

As Ranjan saw the seat next to Vivek, He found Sheetal waving 'Hello' to him.

"Well Yo" Ranjan gave a abrupt reply to Sheetal's hello, and what's even more interesting was Sheetal looked like she kind of expected that. Ranjan Now sifted to Sheetal instead Vivek.

"But aren't you the 2nd Rank holder in entrance exam, Sis. Also you were never a backbencher before! Why are you in backbench?"

Ranjan was even more confused. Even though he was a genius himself, he was quite confused as of why two intelligent people are sitting in backbenches.

"Rank 2nd? I don't know about it. Anyway I don't care about seats, It's just that Vivek just gave me a friendship proposal. And since I don't know anyone else expected you so just sat here. Am I being a nuisance?"

"Wait Wait Wait… Are you two acquainted?"

Vivek who was just dumbfounded finally interrupted the conversation between Sheetal and Ranjan

"Well didn't you befriended me because you know. I mean come on I am Sheetal Sharma, and the guy near you is Ranjan Sharma. Do you still don't get it?"

Sheetal replied to Vivek's questions, which for Sheetal was quite shocking as we and kind of .. hilarious (?)

Vivek too took his long time thinking before replying. Most probably he was trying to get his thoughts in order so that he won't mess up.

"Are you guys …. Siblings?"

"Pfft"

Sheetal controlled her laughter. More precisely she tried to, then she continued.

"So he really didn't tell you. I thought you were his friend so you know. Anyways, we are not just siblings, we are twins. Though Brother is a few minutes older."

Vivek literally had no way of knowing it, afterall Blessed one's sometimes are different from their normal Family tree so Sheetal having Red hair despite his brother having Silver was not big of a deal.

"So am I being a nuisance or not" Sheetal ended the silence herself continuing the previous conversation.

She was speaking less politely with Ranjan. She really wasn't the serious type as she seemed to be in assembly. This might be due to the fact that she was friendly around the people whom she herself judged are deserving of her friendship.

"Of course not. Instead I am happy, it's just that even though we were always together out of school, in school you were hardly near me"

"And whose fault do you think it is. Intentionally getting bad grades, bunking classes and sitting in backbench."

This time Vivek was the one laughing. Even though this is the type of conversation he might feel left out of, both Ranjan and Sheetal were looking at him like they are asking "I am right, aren't I ?" which made him the center of attention instead. As Vivek read the aura of Sheetal all he could think of was such pretty and honest aura it is.

Slowly they all came to an silence.

"Wow it really is like a movie"

Ranjan Said in low voice.

"Movie?"

"Well doesn't it happens in movies, A trio With a main character who fights on front, Her Heroine who supports her back, And a Healer Friend who supports that couple."

"Well Yes I can't argue about this."

Ranjan and Vivek talked to each other in low voice so that Sheetal can't hear. After all they would not want her to know that Vivek fall for her without a proper confession.

"What are you two talking about?"

Sheetal asked. Of course she didn't had anything to do so she noticed them.

"No… Nothing big"

Vivek replied hesitantly. She was curios and wanted to say that share the secrets with me too. But still they knew each other for only few minutes so she just couldn't do it. Moreover even she didn't knew the truth of Vivek's and her brother's friendship so for her they were old friends and it was like interrupting a secret chat of two old best friends so she just didn't did it.

"Oh Okay."

Sheetal replied as she looked away from them.

"Are You an idiot or something."

"What did I do?"

Vivek was really clueless of why Ranjan called him idiot in such ice cold voice.

"You asshole. See her face, She looks full of boredom, Instead of talking to me you should talk to her and make her happy. Didn't you see she just wanted to talk right now but she didn't out of consideration for us."

"But how could I."

"I really made one fucking dense friend. Okay but don't worry brother I am here to help you. All you have to do is say "Isn't our teacher taking too long". Now don't talk to me or other wise I will throw you out of window"

Vivek was just wondering that how did this such good personality changed into that bad mouth, but he did realized that Ranjan's words were out of concern for Vivek's own dense personality, in order to make Vivek realize that how important is this opportunity for his relation. Moreover...

Vivek's eyes which can sense the aura was telling one thing, When Ranjan said that he would through him out of window, HE LITERALLY MEANT IT.

"Don't you think that our teacher is taking too much time, Miss Sheetal?"

Vivek said to Sheetal as he turned his head away from Ranjan.

"Yes you are right. But they did say that there would only be 4 classes today. So maybe that's the reason they are taking their time"

"Well yes you are right. They said something about rank evaluation."

"Yes I too am curious about it, Anyways Just Sheetal is fine. You don't have to add Miss in it."

"If that's the case you can call me Vivek as well."

"Huh? But I am already doing."

"Ah! yes you are right...."

They both start giggling while talking to each other.

Ranjan's plan was successful. He was finally able to make his so called Hero and heroine one step closer. Even though Vivek was quite clumsy when talking to Sheetal, He was giving his all and Sheetal was enjoying that clumsiness so it was a good sign anyway.

{Grrrrrrrrrr}

The sound of door came once again. the class was also full so there was no doubt that it was the teacher.

As everyone looked at the teacher, The Class Teacher was no other then..

VISHWAKARMA a.k.a DEMON TEACHER or the Vice Principal.
