Slowly, walking to them, I stammered, “Why… Why did you call me, Mr. Wizz?”Mr. Wizz didn’t say a word until I got closer and stood beside Aster.“I heard something happened at the rehearsal hall this morning. Is that true?” When he started the interrogation, I felt his eyes looking through me and, out of fear, I started shivering like a leaf.Gulping hard, I stammered, “I… I…”All of a sudden, Mr. Wizz slammed the table, which made me flinch. Embarrassed when I looked around, I found every staff member darting at me.“Speak out!” he shouted again, getting on his feet. “Tell me, is it true or not?”Lowering my head, I nodded. “How dare you violate our peace? Aren’t you aware that picking fights is the biggest offence in school?” he questioned.“But I…” Not letting me speak, he raised his finger and said, “Apologize to him right now.”“Huh?” I glanced at him in confusion. “Apologizes? What have I done to…” “You… You dared to disturb his rehearsal, pick a fight with him and still yo
When my buddy opened the door for us, I slipped in and Kristen followed me inside. Soon after, the car drove away and I suddenly got alarmed.“Buddy, where are we going?” I asked, being worried. “I didn’t even get a chance to ask my teacher for a half day's leave.”“Don’t worry, I have already talked to him, that is why I am taking you with me,” he replied.“What about me?” Kristen asked in an alarmed tone.Shortly after glancing at her through the rear-view mirror, he mumbled, “Oops! You were also there. How can I forget you?”“You… You are kidding, right?”“No, I am not!” he replied in a dead serious tone that gave chills to both of us.”“Buddy, take us back. We have had enough mess already and we don’t want another to be included. We don’t want to get the stand of the school bunker! Take us back,” I said in panic.“Calm down, calm down! I was just kidding. Why are you in a panic over a small topic? Is everything alright?” he asked.Kristen opened her mouth but I grasped her wrist a
“Is there anything wrong with our store?” the lady asked.I waited for Buddy to reply, when nothing came from him, I forced a smile and replied, “Um! No, why?”“I see you guys are finding it hard to get inside our store. So, I came to check if there was anything I could help you with,” she said, smiling back at me.“We…”“Everything is perfectly fine!” Buddy spoke, interrupting me, and I couldn’t help passing a glance at Kristen and smiling.‘Finally, it seems like some courage is sprinkled inside him!’ I mused.“I was just convincing them to follow me inside.” When Buddy blamed us, both our jaws dropped.“Convincing? Why? I think I have seen them often here. You are both regular customers, right? So why do you have to convince them?” she asked in a suspicious tone.‘Of course, we had to visit often as I had to update him about you on a monthly basis,’ I mumbled, underneath my breath.When Buddy glanced at me, probably wanting me to answer, I cleared my throat and replied, “Actually,
With a smirk on his face, he said, “So, you got dumped by him over a lady!”“You…” as Kristen moved forward, I stopped her, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her away.“Why are you not letting me say anything?” she complained.“It is better we ignore him. The more we talk the more he will try to instigate us,” I said, focusing on the road.“But…” she didn’t complete her sentence as the car again came forward and stopped beside us.“Get in the car. I will drive you,” I heard him saying, and again I chose to stay silent.“Prisha!” he reached out for my arms and turned me towards him. “Stop ignoring me and get in the car.”Having had enough, I shoved him and yelled, “What is your problem? Why can’t you leave me alone?”“I am just helping you,” he said, stepping towards me.Raising my palm, I said, “No thank you. I can manage myself.”Then turning around, I left along with Kristen.“How are you going to get home? It’s a long way,” he shouted.“I don’t care. Just get lost,” I shouted back.Go
When Kristen dropped beside me, she strolled her eyes around and asked, “Where is Tarry? Is he still not here?”“Nop! Didn’t you come to the stop together?” I asked, looking around for him.“Are you kidding me? Why would I come with him?” she replied.The bus drove away with no sign of Tarry and Kristen didn’t stop looking around.“But you know what, he is kind of weird. I don’t know what is going on in his head. He never comes out of his house. Not even once!"“So, you keep an eye on him?” I asked with a witty smile on my face.Rolling her eyes, she replied, “Oh! come on. That is not true at all. I am just telling you whenever I come out I don’t see him around.”“Really?” I mumbled, staring at her, still smiling.“Yes, really! Anyway, what is in that bag?” she asked, pointing towards the bag on my lap.Averting my gaze at the bag, I signed heavily before replying, "Someone's belongings that I should have returned long ago.”“Really? Let me see!” She tried to get to the bag, but I sto
There was a strange addiction in his eyes which I didn’t want to quit. I had no idea what was happening to me, all I knew was I was finding myself at ease staring at those eyes.The addiction was rising and even after knowing it, I was not able to put a full stop to it. Thanks to Sam who called out at a crucial time and I was able to divert my thoughts away from Aster.As I glanced at Sam, he spoke out in a low tone, “I am sorry Prisha. I hadn’t thought he actually called you to give you first-hand humiliation.”Taking a step back, I grabbed the bag, and forced a smile at Sam, as I nodded. Then, without wasting a second, I made my way towards the door.I could hear Aster rumbling, “Why are you apologising, Sam? She…”“Because I thought you were going to apologise, you dumbass,” I heard Sam interrupting, furious Aster before I stepped out of the class.Pacing across the hallway, as I came across the trash bin, I tossed the bag inside it. The tears that I had been holding for long were
“What?” I was shocked and I hastily glanced at the person and saw Aster, standing at the door glaring at us.Enraged, I got on my feet, pushing the chair behind and then I yelled at him, “Shut the hell up. We are not on a date.”“Oh! Really?” He walked in grumbling, “Then what the hell are you both doing in this empty classroom sitting that close?”“We…” As Newt was about to explain, I interrupted, “Whatever we are doing, it is none of your concern.”Folding my arms, I added, “Also, aren’t you the same person who didn’t want to see my face? So, why are you here?”“This is my school, I can be wherever I want to be. Also, I need to know everything that happens. Especially in an empty classroom like this. I can’t let students like you ruin our reputation.”“Oh! My God, are you even serious?” My jaw dropped hearing him.“You need to calm down, Aster.” It was hard for me to believe the reaction of Newt. While he was trying to piss me off, there he was trying to deal with him calmly.“We ha
“No!” screaming, I shut my eyes tight.After a couple of seconds, when I felt nothing on my face, I touched my face and slowly opened my eyes. I was astounded when my eyes fell on someone’s muscular chest. Scrunching my face, as I looked up at the person who stood before me, I was more shocked seeing Aster. Without letting me say anything, he rolled his eyes and turned away.My eyes fell on his jacket that had a coffee stain. Getting up in haste, I grabbed the tissue paper and tried to wipe the coffee which had already wet his jacket.But I did’t have to do it for long as I saw him, grabbing Newt’s cup and before I could stop, he splashed the coffee on Jasmine’s face.Luckily, Newt was having a cold coffee so there was no harm when it showered on her face.. But soon after the coffee was splashed on her face, a lot of chaos happened.Newt stepped forward and standing before Jasmine, yelled at Aster, “What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you even do that?”“Ptf!” Looking sideways
