Chapter-7

Fallacies are waiting for you everywhere.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I waited for his answer but a sudden outburst happened. The door opened and in just a moment some girls were looking at me with disgust. Well, I can't deny that I'm looking like some joker covered in paint but what I didn't understand is that they were looking at Cole with their mouth wide open. They were checking him out with lust I think!  Eww! Disgusting.

How can you say that it's disgusting just to look at him for once?

My stupid inner voice can't resist herself. Well, it is not that bad to look at him. So, I moved my head towards playjerk's direction and he's shirtless but when and how he removed his shirt I don't know. His perfect body glorified him and paint colours were all over his body which made him sexier. Yeah, he's sexy but he's also a jerk.

All the girls rushed in Cole's direction and started flirting with him. Looks like He's stuck with them. His idiotic face now developed in a full-fledged smirk and he's looking in my direction but for what?

Maybe he wants to say that he's loved by all the girls. 

HA HA!! But not by me I assured myself.

You are an idiot! just ask him what happened yesterday already! 

But he and his so-called fan following were busy. I guess I need to forget about it otherwise he'll make fun of me. Ughhh why is everything so complicated for me? I should leave before anything happen. As I turned towards the door I heard

"Tomorrow is a party at Dylan's house you all are invited," Cole said.

"All? Means she is also invited?" One of them sneered while referring to me.

"Nah! She can't! she's going to study all day and night tomorrow." He whispered glancing towards my direction.

I'm sure that he doesn't even know these girls but he still invited them or maybe the whole school except me.

Ok I know I'm a nerd but I'm also a human and that hurts. He's no one to decide what I'm going to do. Well playjerk, let me tell you I'll also come to that party and you are never going to know about it.

I don't know why but when someone says I can't do that thing or answers on my behalf then I felt a sudden urge to prove that person wrong!!! I then went towards the washroom to clean myself.

For the rest of the day, I completed all my notes and attended all the classes.  

I made a mental list of what I need to do :

(1) Get into the party without revealing my identity

(2) Find out what Vess is hiding

(3) Dylan's secret

Today all I heard is about the party. Looks like it is a very big bash as everywhere I went, everyone was talking about it.

When the last class was over I collected all my belongings and went towards the parking area where Vess was waiting for me. When I reached there I found her and Dylan talking about something and chuckling.

They were close to each other. I hope they were just friends otherwise I have to warn her about Dylan's secret. Dylan saw me before Vess and he moved on the side of the car so that he was looking at me directly while Vess's back was facing me. His eyes were threatening me and his stare became more intense. I understood what he wants to say so I just nodded my head in assurance.

I need to find out what's the matter with him. When I look to my left I found Cole eating the face of a blonde. They were both shamelessly engaged in a passionate kiss in the parking area.

What a shame! Can't they resist themselves? 

And then they started grinding against each other. Ughhh I can't see this 

"Yuk!" I said in frustration. I think I said it too loud because Cole snapped his head towards me

Shit run away!

But I couldn't I froze in my place. When he realized that the voice came from me he smirked. His smirk got wider second by second and he said something in the blonde's ear. Now all the people in the parking area were looking at me and laughing their asses off!

 Could I be more stupid?  I just made fun of myself ughh.

"She's jealous she has not gotten her first kiss yet."

"Look at her clothes! Of course, she won't have any boyfriend."

All the voices and whispers were fucking shit! Seriously, I hate myself for being that blunt but more than that I hate Cole.

Vess arrived at my side and took me towards her car. We were both seated and hitched our seat belts when she snapped, "He's going to pay for this seriously, Amy."

"I want to go to Dylan's party without revealing my identity." I sneered.

"Of course! You're going, honey and we are going to enjoy a lot and that jerk is going to pay for this!"

"Yes, he's and Vess I want to tell you something about Dylan."

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you, I already bought our dresses."

"But!"

"Not but! It's beautiful and you are going to look gorgeous in it. Besides, I am looking forward to seeing you in that dress." she said excitedly.

"Okay!" I sighed because I am not in any mood to argue and besides I don't have any dress.

                                                           ****

I arrived at my house. When I was about to enter through the door I heard some voices. First I heard mom's voice but I couldn't recognize the other voice I didn't understand. We never get any guests. It sounds like a man's voice, a deep sexy voice.

A shiver went down my spine.

'Is my father coming back?' or 'Has my mother moved on?' or 'Did she invite her colleague?'

So many thoughts were running through my mind and I did not want to face that person so I headed towards the backyard of my house to sneak in like some thief in my own house. I never thought that I will do it but life is all about doing unexpected things. 

I entered calmly without making any noise and took baby steps towards the stairs. I reached my room in almost ten minutes and went straight towards the washroom to take a shower so that I can refresh myself and clear my mind.

I didn't want to go anywhere as I'm already tired so I decided to wear my favourite strawberry printed pyjama and a T-shirt with a rabbit printed on it.

These were the comfiest clothes on this planet then I made a high ponytail and headed towards my bed where Jojo is waiting for me. I snuggled with him and fell asleep.

I woke up to my rumbling stomach. 'Uh,' I almost forget that I was hungry back then.

Seriously? How can you forget that you're hungry? 

'This is because of that stupid Cole.' I replied to my inner voice.

Uh, again Cole! Why are you always thinking about him? Just eat something already!  My inner voice mocked.

Yes yes, I do want to eat, I'm dying from hunger already but I can't go downstairs. What if that person is still there? I checked the time and it's only half-past four which means that I slept only for one hour and my empty stomach can't resist itself. I need to find out if the mystery man is still there.

Oh my god! what if that person tried to harm my mother or what if I died from hunger in this room or worse than that what if I need to live here my entire life?

NO!NO!NO! that can't happen, stop thinking too much about it.

Yeah, I should not think about it but I have lived all my life here and mostly when someone came without any notice it is natural to react like this.

Oh shut up already, will you? And stop being a drama queen!

So what should I do?

To find out you just need to go down there stupid.

Yeah, I'm going although I know that I'm a coward.

I headed downstairs without making any noise. When I went into the living room it was empty but there were still voices coming from the kitchen and they were laughing on some topic.

I could relax now that at least mom is not in danger and I don't have to face that mystery man I can easily escape the house without making any noise and for my empty stomach I will purchase some food yeah that's such a good idea.

You can be proud of me that today I'll be going to do some courageous work Haha! (Note the sarcasm).

Just when I was about to reach the door "Amanda Parker!! Where have you been for two hours? And where are you going now?"

'Shit' I muttered under my breath.

"Mom, I was just..."

"What?"

"I was just emptying my bladder which gets full because I drank a lot of water in school." Seriously this is so stupid and lame. I mentally slapped myself.

"You really can't lie you know that?" She said with satisfaction on her face and I sighed in frustration. 

Exactly that moment I heard the same sexy chuckle which I had heard before somewhere. My heart started beating fast.

'It's not him.' I assured myself.

Yeah, he can't be here, right? I'm just dreaming about it. It can't happen there's no way he can come here!

No, he can't. He doesn't even know where I live.

"PARKER! Great to see you again." And I think I'm going insane when he appeared in front of me.
