[Jacqueline’s Pov]
I found myself staring at the structure of the heart that our teacher had drawn on the blackboard. The first thing I noticed was it was neat. She had done an awesome job drawing it. That I don’t think will be able to draw. It was not my zone. We were in the first lecture of our cla**es for the day. And Mrs. Neha was trying to explain about the pumping organ Heart.
I shifted in discomfort on the wooden chair I was sitting on. It was uncomfortable and I can even bet that no one would be comfortable sitting over it. Though the amount of fat I had on my b***ocks kind of feel like a cushion to me. But when you are sitting on it for the last 40 minutes without moving an inch, even it will fail you.
A tingling sensation made me furrow my eyebrows as I looked sideways.
Rohan. I should have known who could be better than him to disturb me at this point. His black eyes shining with mischief, while he smirked with his pouty lips.
Frowning I ignored him when another paper ball strikes my back. I stop my urge to scream. ‘For someone who had forcefully kissed me yesterday, he sure had guts to tease me today.’
I ignored him again.
Another paper ball hits me. But this time on my face. And I whip my head at lightning speed towards his seat to glare at him. I wish I could burn him through it. Unfortunately, God made me a human.
Sighing I focussed on writing notes again. This time trying to avoid anything.
A girl sitting behind me nudges me with her hand. Speaking in a hushed tone.
“Ugly Jacqueline. This is for you.”

My hands tightened upon the pen I was writing with. That I so badly wanted to throw at him. But my grandfather said once self-control is a good thing. So I exhaled. Faking a smile, I turn around. Looking at her questioningly. Her brown eyes were covered by stylish spectacles. Her eyes were beautiful but the emotion in them wasn’t. It was the emotion that I was too familiar with. Disgust.
She forwarded her hand towards me, a paper ball in her hands. I looked sideways and noticed him eagerly waiting for me to take it. Just when I looked back she placed the paper ball in my hands, cleaning her hands with a hankie. As if I was having a viral disease that I will probably give her. As if.
I faked a smile at her and turned back. Since he so wanted to give me the paper, I will just take it.
[3/11, 20:11] Annie: Smiling at him, I tore the paper into small pieces without reading it. His rounded brows tightened and I saw as his jaw flattened too. I wanted to laugh at his reaction.
Giving him the reaction that said ‘Serves you right.’ I focussed on writing notes again. But then as if luck was not on my side. The
[3/11, 20:24] Annie: As Mrs. Neha took my name expecting an answer to the question I had no idea about.
“Jacqueline beta I am asking you something.”
I looked dumbly at her trying to think what was it that she asked?
Looking at my confused face, she asked patiently.
“Do you want me to repeat the question beta?”
Giving her a nervous smile, I nodded at her.
My fingers felt suddenly sweaty as everyone concentrated their attention on me.
“What is the name of the wall of the muscle which separates the right and left region of the heart?”

[3/11, 20:26] Annie: The tension in my mind intensifies as I hear the question. I had no idea, what could be its answer since I was busy trying to mess with him.
Everyone starts talking in hushed whispers as I keep my mouth shut. My scalp tingles with sweat as I listen to their voice while there was still a fan on.
“She is not just ugly, she is stupid too!”
“Hah. What do you expect from her, she is a s***? I saw her walking with Rohan yesterday and now she is openly flirting with him. Can you believe that?”
“Really? When did this happen? Why didn’t I knew about it?”
“Oh, you weren’t there yesterday. And I am telling you, Tina does the right thing, she keeps her in her place.”
“Oh, God! Who knew she had a s*** in her behind her ugly face. But I am confused about one thing. Why would Rohan such a handsome boy will give her attention?”
“It must be because of some bet.”
“Bet? Oh, you are right!”
She flips her hair and hums a response.
The girl who called me s*** had been the girlfriend of boys. She cheated on two. Betrayed one. She was the same girl who had given me the paper ball thrown by Rohan.
I clench my hands. My lips sealed shut. ‘Don’t cry Jacky! Don’t! She is speaking nonsense.’
I chant the words in my head, trying to keep my emotions at bay. Having a breakdown in front of the people who were responsible for it Will probably kill me. And I would never do that.

“Cla** keep quiet!” The teacher’s voice instantly makes everyone shut.
Patiently the teacher taps her foot on the ground waiting for an answer. I didn’t even know why she was this adamant that I knew the answer. Shakily, I look around noticing disgust in everyone’s eyes. My eyes move to each corner stopping at Rohan. There was no emotion on his face. Not even pity. But staring at him made me feel like I wasn’t that bad. It was no big deal to not know the answer to that question. He held my gaze, his eyes turning from no emotion to some emotion in his eyes. That I couldn’t understand.
I look away, staring at my shoes, I mumble in a voice.
“I am sorry Mam. I don’t know the answer.”
As I look up, she behaves like my words didn’t reach her ears.
“Come on Jacqueline. Answer it. We don’t have all day!”
“I.”
A voice beat me before I could speak more than a syllable.
“Septum. The right and the left region of the heart are separated by a wall of muscle called the Septum.”
Just when he finishes the answer everyone’s head turns towards him with lightning speed.
It was Rohan. The cla**’s atmosphere turns chaotic as everyone cheers for him.
“Woah.”
