I guess not. The poor guy would have thrown her out had I not been in the room.
“It’s fine. Show me when you make notes for exams.” Aariz told her coldly. Not ready to meet her eyes.
“But these are for exams only.” Rose said in a low embarrassed voice, and I felt pity for her.
Aariz stared at her as if she had grown two heads.
Then taking a deep breath, I guess to hold back a snap, he muttered,
“These are copied from the textbook. Each and everything. If you all had to do just that to score good grades, I would have said so.”
Catching my eye, Aariz gave me a swift apologetic look before turning to her, and stretching his hand towards all of us,
“Why do you think they all prepare notes?!”
Rose groaned like a teenager,
“I just don't understand why we have International Politics and American Politics as two different papers! It’s so confusing to understand both when they overlap. Since a lot of things from American politics come under International as well.”
“I can't do anything about it. You’ll have to complain to the university administration or the authors of those books.” Aariz said carelessly while working on his laptop, thus hinting her to leave.
Does Rose ever gets a hint?
This time I did not even try to look at my work.
Rose clasped his wrist over the laptop,
“Please, I just don't understand.”
Aariz glared at her shocked, roughly taking his hand away,
“These copied down notes are from the topic I taught you all long back, in detail. Even quizzed the class about it. I can't go back to it again now.”
With that, Aariz stood up.
But Rose just smiled brightly and turned around in her chair touching his arm,
“No, I understand. Therefore, you can just teach me now. I still have a few hours to kill.”
Why does she has to be so touchy feely?
Aariz jerked her hand away making everyone stunned, and hold back their laughter.
In a measured voice that felt like he was trying not to explode, he stated,
“I will take lectures in the classroom only. I can't help every weak student personally. I don't have the time. So just, try paying attention in class. I can promise that during revisions I will be going through every important topic again. Still if you fail, it’s none of my concerns.”
Saying so, he opened the door and gestured her out,
“You can leave now. I have to discuss their presentations.”
Thoroughly miffed and embarrassed, Rose left with her head down.
He turned toward us and everyone scrambled to leave for lunch.
“Hurry up Sani. I have to go for practice.” Sahil g
rumbled as I stood up too, jotting down in my book a few pointers, that Aariz had given us to be included in the assignment.
