Silence filled the corridor. No one dared to utter a word until…..
Fer (calm yet eyes were teary) : It's a no biggie. The management is just trying to reduce my workload. That's it. Gosh….. You guys made it sound so dramatic. (wiping her tears) It's lunch time and I'm super hungry. Kine, come here…(gestured him to come towards her and then whispered)
Kine : (sighed then saluted) Roger That Mate!
That salutation was so loud that it shook everyone. Aether sat at the very end of the other side of the corridor and his table was somewhat in the middle of the corridor near his class. Upon seeing Aether looking towards him, Kine gave him a crooked smile and shouted.
Kine : (shouted) ATTACKKKKKKKK...!
Kine ran towards Aether's table to steal his lunch box in front of his eyes. Aether too ran to protect but of course it was "Kinematics" he was competing against. Kine ran to and fro, stuffed almost half of Aether's lunch. Aether had a helpless look on his face until Di appeared at the back of him, whispered and handed something to him.
Kine curious, walked towards them, chewing the food in his mouth. Aether wasn't able to reach at par as Kine, but he too ate a large portion out of Kine's lunch which Di gave him. Kine gave an annoyed look to Di.
This whole of the chaos made everyone forget their worries and helped them relax.
Before everyone left for their homes, they went through the new schedule and roles. As instructed by Fer, especially to Kine, to look at the sheet optimistically.
Ms. Nishi, Fer's only female best friend in the management, got promoted to the senior most faculty that is to XI and XII side. Mr. Aether was made the discipline-incharge. Ms. Ridenta was chosen to replace Fer as the incharge. That's it, no other significant changes were jotted there.
A few days passed without much chaos. Soon it was the result day, which too went smoothly other than Torque being hyper active on his commentary on students.
Soon the classes continued after the session break.
THE SHIPPER GANG POV
Lily (excitedly) : Did you guys see that?? K's hand was on D's waist and oh my god…. (covers her face while blushing)
Sierra : (rolls her eyes) There she is at it again. Using those initials to talk about them won't create any deception.
Aril : At least this is some source of entertainment amidst those boring lessons.
Glaxia : (supporting) Exactly, I'm so done... (pauses, hastily almost shouting) Heyyy…..
They see torque stealing away kine from di and after a while di enters their class with a somewhat drooped face.
Glaxia (infuriated) : How dare T!? This is unacceptable….
GENERAL POV, CLASS XII D (PREVIOUSLY XI D)
Di (answering many of the confused gazes) : Good morning students, back to how we were. Don't worry, I'm not your class teacher. Obviously it's Mr. Selenos and since he won't be coming to school for a few days, I think we can bear with each other.
The class went on and obviously, by then many became non serious about their studies at school. Many went for special coachings and all for competitive exam prep, therefore attendance started to weaken as well.
After the class ended,
Di left the room and sat on the bench, near the new trio that the car pool created. He sat there drooped, gloomily staring at his tablet.
THE SHIPPER GANG POV
Glaxia (infuriated) : Just look at him?! Sitting there all pitiful… can't he just fight back. And there (looks in the direction of Kine sitting on a small book shelf and Torque leaning a bit *bad touching Kine and both of them seem happy about that) I just can't… LILY! Do something.
Lily was following whatever Glaxia said in spite of plotting something on her mind.
Lily (calmly) : Let me see what I can do…
Lily, who usually stayed back to self-study at school for an hour after school got over, was not there to study that day instead, she was going ahead with the plotting.
A month passed in a mist. Kine was still to be found around Torque. Sometimes an MOC could be seen between Kine and Di but it was rare and oftentimes interrupted by either students or Torque.
Obviously the shippers couldn't get enough of their bl dose. They were like the addicts on probation, coming up with all sorts of weird ideas to separate Torque from Kine. After a long
Lily (serious) : I know what exactly I need to do to keep our ship sailing.
Later that day, GENERAL POV
Fer : Mr. Torque, Ms. Usina has summoned you to her office.
Torque was not surprised by this kind of summon as he already saw Lily observing from quite a distance. Nevertheless, he rolled his eyes, straightened his shirt and moved towards the door.
TORQUE AND LILY's POV
On his way his eyes met Lily's and he said,
Torque : (with a shruggish voice) You think I care… It's already the thirteenth time I've been summoned. The same old lecture and after 15 minutes I'm outta there unharmed.
Lily didn't say anything but a victorious aura blazed in her eyes . An hour later the school was over, Torque had returned sitting on his seat alone, looking at his tablet really seriously. Lily was the only student that remained. She sat in her classroom preparing herself to study Physics and a blizzard that awaited her.
The corridor was plagued with silence.
LILY'S POV
Lily : (sighs) okay, 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1.. And here goes nothing.
Torque enters the classroom.
