Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“Self-care.” *she replied calmly.* “Mental health is important, Sir. You should try it sometime.”

“This is a biology class. Not a beauty salon.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
*Glanced up, blowing on her nails.* “And yet here you are—killing vibes and dreams like it’s your full-time job.”

“No.”
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“Miss Sarma—”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“I paid 300 rupees for this. You think I’ll just give it to you? Steal my will to live if you want, but not my cosmetics.”
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*Clenched his jaw.* “If you spent half the energy you use to annoy me on your studies—”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL

Tanya sharma/FL

“You exist.”
Gasps echoed.
Ayaan leaned on the desk, deadly calm.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML

Tanya sharma/FL

Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*Blinked.* “A what?”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“A tired vegetable. Like a bitter gourd that gave up on life.”
The class howled. He narrowed his eyes.

“Thanks. I try.”

The entire class turned.
Tanya sharma/FL

Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“You..” *deadpanned.* “YOU would.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
*She shrugged.* “Maybe the cell culture wanted to feel pretty.”
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*Looked like he was praying for patience.* “This is a microbiology lab, not a makeup tutorial.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“Well, maybe it should be..” *she muttered, holding up a petri dish she’d decorated with hearts and a tiny ‘#Slay’* “The bacteria deserve love too.”
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*He snatched the dish from her hand.* “Did you just give E. coli a makeover?”
Tanya sharma/FL

The class choked on their laughter.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*He glared at her.* “Next time you come to my class, act like a student. Not a contestant on India’s Got Sarcasm.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
*She threw her bag over her shoulder like a dramatic Bollywood heroine.* “And next time you teach, try smiling. Your face won’t crack, I promise.”

“I’ll smile when you graduate.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“Oh! So never?” *she gasped.*
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*He pointed at the door.* “Now.”
She started to leave—then paused. Turned around. Slowly. Pulled a mini disco ball out of her bag and hung it on the whiteboard hook.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“What. Is. That.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“A vibe, Sir.” *she said, spinning it.* “Since your personality left the room, I brought sparkle to compensate.”
he just… blinked.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“I need a transfer.” *he whispered to himself.*

Next day.
It was supposed to be a normal class. Just Ayaan, some boring mitochondria slides, and a bunch of yawning students. Until Tanya stood up… and clutched her chest like she’d been shot. Everyone froze.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“tanya?” *he asked, confused.* “What—?”
Tanya sharma/FL

“This toxic environment! It’s killing my spirit!”
The class stared.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*he sighed.* "what now?"
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
*She turned, full filmy style, pointing a trembling finger at him.* “You! You, Professor Malhotra! You have emotionally assaulted me with your... your... lack of vibes!”
Someone giggled.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*Rubbed his temples.* “tanya, sit down.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“I refuse!” *she yelled, standing on the bench now like she was delivering a monologue in a courtroom drama.* “I’ve been SILENCED! IGNORED! Graded UNFAIRLY just because I sparkle too hard!”
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“Sparkle—?” *he looked like he might faint.*
she turned to the class, eyes wide.
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“Brothers! Sisters! Fellow sufferers of Sir’s mood swings! Stand with me!”
One guy actually stood up.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*his voice went dangerously low.* “Rohit, sit down or I’m failing you too.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
*Gasped.* “Did you hear that?! Threats! Pure dictatorship!”
Ayaan had enough.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
*He walked up to her calmly, stood in front of the bench, and said* “Get down before I file a formal complaint.”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“Go ahead!” *she yelled.* “File it to HR! File it to NASA! Send it to the moon! But the truth will still remain—YOU’RE MEAN AND YOUR HAIRLINE’S RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU!”
Dead silence. Ayaan slowly looked up at her, blinking.
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
Ayaan Malhotra/ML
“My what?”
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
*she leaned in, whispering dramatically* “Your. Hairline.”
The class exploded. Ayaan looked like he was about to self-combust. She finally stepped down, twirling like a drama queen.
Tanya sharma/FL
Tanya sharma/FL
“Thank you. My performance is over for today. I accept cash, chocolate, and validation.”
She gave a flying kiss toward the board. Ayaan just stared at her.
