Chapter 1- An Intelligent Rowdy



"Damn, never expected those idiots to get that many. I could have beaten the shit out of them. Those fools better not be hanging around alone anywhere because I swear, I will make them regret what they did to me."

The name of the boy is Shivanesh Kumar Shankar or usually known as Shiva with other around him. He has a charming face with ayes like a doe and a sharp nose. A small- sized boy with a smile of a charmer. Skin slightly tanned but still attractive to the eyes of the girls a school and maybe some boys. Rough and hates when someone tries to challenge him. Brilliant but loves to move by instinct. Enjoys a good fight but hates to lose. Arrogant, but still a gentleman. Being him, he is always okay with everything but if he is not happy about something, he would be sure to show it. Always believes that he is always right and in total he is basically a troubled good-looking fellow.
 
Unfortunately, for other girls in school, this boy was never interested with having relationships with those girls. He is known to hate commitments with girls from the same school and sometimes known as the Ice Prince of the school. He believes in a lifestyle with freedom in school.

“I am going to get myself in trouble if Amma sees this. And these are new pair of uniform. Of all days in the world, why today?” Shivanesh kept on mumbling as he packs his stuffs that was thrown all over by the group of boys who hit him.

This fight started because some girl decides to have an eye on the Ice Prince making him an enemy to the school bully. Knowing the fact that Shivanesh was the ladies’ favourite, Krishna, a boy from the other class who is a well-known bully of the school, realized that the girl he likes, Aarthi is having a crush on Shivanesh. Unable to contain his jealousy, Krishna decided to attack Shivanesh along with his so-called “brothers”- loser friend of his. Shivanesh was caught off guard when Krishna and his gang attacked him. Being a guy who fights, Shivanesh tried to fight back. Somehow, the gang started growing bigger as many of them started to join in and they outnumbered Shivanesh’s strength to fight back.

The moment Shivanesh got home, his mother was already outside of the house watering the plants. He tried to hide and go in, avoiding his mother’s view.

“Oh God!!! Shivanesh Kumar!!! What happened to you?  Got yourself in another fight? I just bought you a new pair of uniform. Why do you always have to come home looking like this? Can’t you come home without any blood or bruise for a day?” and his mother kept on nagging.

“Amma, this time I didn’t get myself into any fights. There was this idiot who got jealous and started hitting me. I really don’t want to get involved. But because of a girl, I got beaten today,” Shivanesh explained to his mom.

“Wow! Was the girl that beautiful that someone would beat you up?” his mother asked him in a teasing tone. 

“No idea. I don’t even know who she is. You know, Amma, I am never interested. Having girlfriends is equal to going to jail. No more freedom,” Shivanesh said and went into his room to avoid needing to listen his mom’s nagging.

Sitting on his bed, Shivanesh took out his diary from his bag. There was a picture. A girl’s picture. Shivanesh only portrays as if  he was not interested with girls in school. The truth is that he already has someone he likes. A beautiful girl. He only pretended to not be interested in order to protect the girl he likes. He is aware that there are some girls in his school that were crushing on him, but he never acknowledged them because his interest and attention only belonged to one girl only, Vinodini.

Just like her name, she is always bubbly and cheerful. Very cheerful and childish at times. Those were the reason the stone-hearted Shivanesh could fall for her. They met during a tuition session 4 years ago. He kept it a secret till recently, when he finally managed to have enough courage to ask her out.

Shivanesh at last confessed a few days before Valentine’s Day. Of course, the girl accepted and agreed to go out with him. But Shivanesh kept on being secretive about their relationship to avoid problems for him and Vinodini as there are some of his school students that attend the tuition. They always went out secretly without anyone knowing they are meeting each other. Everything was beautiful. Shivanesh was so happy and very much in love.

“Shiva!! Get yourself down here and clean your wound. Lunch is ready,” his mother was screaming from the living room.

Shivanesh kissed the picture and hid it in his diary and hid his diary under his pillow. He ran downstairs to get his wound treated.

“I am gonna have to do a lot of explaining to Vino later about this,” Shivanesh thought to himself while cleaning his wound.

Shivanesh attends tuition 3 times a week. The tuition centre that he attends has students from different schools. Vinodini is from a different school. Which made is easier for him to hide the fact that he was dating someone from his schoolmates. Even so, he still needs to be careful.

Shivanesh, had his shower which was full of whining and cursing due to the injuries, had his lunch and left for tuition. He is always excited for tuition because he will get to see his girlfriend.

The moment he arrived at the tuition centre, he saw Vinodini. He walked towards her and the next moment saw her worried face.

“Shiva!! What happened? Why are you injured?”

“Don’t worry. Some idiots hit me. So how was your day?” Shiva asked ignoring her previous questions.

“Owh, nothing much. A guy approached me today at school. He said he likes me. I didn’t know what to say,” Vinodini said with worrisome heard in her tone.

“So, what did you tell him?” Shiva asked.

 “I just told him no. He asked why, if I had a boyfriend. I just ignored him. Shiva, do we have to keep thing a secret?” Vinodini asked.

“Well, we went through these many times already. We can’t risk it,” Shiva said.

“What is the point of having boyfriend when I cannot tell anyone about it? What’s the point if I can’t show my affection to my boyfriend in front of others?” Vinodini started asking, feeling frustrated.

“Keep it down. You know why I am doing this right? Please understand me.”

“You only want me to understand you. But you never cared to understand how I felt,” Vinodini said and left to her seat.

Shivanesh didn’t know what to do. He just walked to his usual table and took his seat.

“Hi, I am Amrita. I am new here,” a girl next to Shivanesh spoke.
