*To make up for not updating for long, I am compensating for it with another additional chapter for today! Enjoy!*~~~~“I just want to talk! Please!”After hearing him, my hands came to a halt, and I could no longer escape him, even though I could. I did not know what persuaded me to stay and hear him out. Even after being hurt by him so deeply, I know I was a fool to do that. Sipping in a bit more oxygen than usual, slowly I turned to him. “Fine!” I folded my arms across my chest and added, “Make it quick. I don’t want to miss my best friend's performance.”Rubbing his hand on his pants, he then shuddered, “Why… Why didn’t you tell me he is your uncle?”Raising my brows, I asked him back, “And why is that suddenly important?”Planting his hands on his hips, he paced back and forth with no words. I guess he was struggling with words, but it already bore me. “I think you are done. I better leave!” saying, I had just turned to open the door, but suddenly he stood beside me and push
“Any updates from him?” When Kristen suddenly plunged beside me, I was dragged out of my trance with zero memory of where I was and what I was doing. To overcome my short-term memory loss, I had to scan around, only to find myself seated in the third row of the bus, heading towards school. Snapping her fingers in front of me, Kristen called me out again, “Hello! Prisha, back to earth.” “I am back on earth,” I replied, pulling my gaze at her. “I am just trying to figure out what part of earth I am in.” “If so, then let me help. You are on the school bus, going on an important mission,” she replied, chuckling. “Hahaha! Not funny!” “So, I was asking if there are any updates to the part which was left unanswered since yesterday,” she said, getting back to the main topic. With the urge to get a little bit of more oxygen, I gasped and then, with a heavy heart, I replied, “No, I tried calling him but he's unreachable. I don’t know if I was just overreacting or it was what it meant to b
With a heavy heart, I headed to my classroom. The first thing I did after reaching my desk was to take a glance at Aster’s class, but there was no sign of him. Sighing deeply, I tossed my bag on the table and plonked on my chair, not wanting anyone to come and see me. I was not in the mood for socialising with anyone. But Newt appeared before me out of nowhere with a smile which used to make my heart pound and butterflies linger inside my belly. I found out that his smile had lost its magic as it had no effect on me. ‘Was it because I was too stressed regarding Aster?’ ‘Or was it because I had learned my lesson of not falling into guys who already have a girlfriend?’ Whatever it is, I was happy with it as I didn’t have to carry panic alongside stress. “Hey!” Forcing a smile, I replied, “Hey!” “You were looking awesome yesterday. Really, I was not able to recognize you…” Getting the same compliments over and over from different people was making me sick, but controlling my e
“Krist!” Coming to a halt, I took a deep breath, before turning my heels around, and facing Kristen and Tarry, who were following me to the library. Caressing her arms, I tried convincing her, “Trust me, I will be fine. It is just a matter of one hour.” Taking my hand, she spoke out in a concerned tone, “This is the first time you are facing detention without me and I do not like it. So, please let me stay.” “Krist, no, they wouldn’t allow you. Besides, you have absolutely no fault, so I wouldn’t let you suffer,” I said, putting extra effort into persuasion. “You too have no fault. So, why are you…” “Krist!” I interrupted. “You should leave.” “But…” “If you are really feeling bad for me, then I have a job for you.” Giving me an alarmed look, she asked, “What is it?” “I want you to look out for Aster and find out if he is really leaving.” “GOD!” Rolling her eyes, she rumbled, “Are you even serious? Because of him, you ended up here and you are still caring about him? Duh! Pris
“Ahh!” screaming my lungs out, I shut my eyes tight.Helplessly, I waited for my body to land on the floor and prepared myself to hear my bones cracking.But even after time passed, nothing happened as I had thought. Instead, I sensed the surroundings falling into silence.Wondering if I had already reached heaven, slowly I opened my eyes. Seeing an unexpected person looking down at me, my mind went blank.‘What… What just happened? Did I really die?’ I mused.‘If yes, then why am I seeing Aster?’As my eyes widened, I muttered underneath my breath, ‘Please, don’t tell me he is the Angel of Death.’When one of the books fell knocking on his head, his scrunched face made it clear that he was no Angel or anything. Also, it made me realise that I was still in the world of mortals.The biggest news was I was rescued by Aster and I was in his arms as if I owned it. Our eye
The sun was already close to diving into its nest when Aster and I stepped out of the building. Being late was the least thing I had expected, so I was at the complete stage of panic. Thanks to Aster and Riddle, who assisted me to arrange the books, or else I would end up staying at the library. Riddle left soon after they had placed the last book on the shelves. No bye, no see you, he just left without any words. Which was probably due to the rage he held against Aster for leaving without giving him a valid reason. Even though Aster saved my reputation of being bad in front of him, I felt bad for him and his friend. Tearing their friendship apart was the last thing I would ever want, but the circumstances evolving around them were making me appear like a villain. Limping, I was able to get out of the building, but when it came to the stairs, panic oozed inside me. While I was wondering how I was going to walk down, suddenly, Aster picked me up in his arms. Nervously, I grumbled,
“Wait a second, don’t tell me you are kidnapping me for taking Newt’s name!” My heart pounded along with the chills crawling on my skin as I panicked. “Ptf!” he snickered and added, “You think I would do that for such a small thing.” “I can’t say, right? You are the same person who dumped me just for seeing me with my uncle,” I didn’t leave a chance to spare him. Clearing his throat, he then spoke out in a grave, serious tone, “I just want to make a proper apology.” “By kidnapping me?” I raised my brows at him, even though his gaze was pulled away from me. “Are you even serious?” “I am not kidnapping you, Prisha. I am just taking you somewhere, we can talk without any hindrance,” he explained, which was not enough for me. “You can stop the car and we can talk here,” I offered. With no any further words, he kept on driving and this pissed me off like hell. Trying not to lose my temper, I took a deep breath before trying to speak in peace. “Aster, I am requesting you again. Pleas
Early in the morning, when the lights penetrated through the window pane and fell on my face, I awoke from my deep sleep. With zero knowledge of where I was, I squinted my eyes.But caring less and loving my sleep more, I shut back my eyes, trying to hop back to my dream dimension, but suddenly my voice echoed inside my head, “I don’t want you to leave, Aster. Please stay!”With a smile on my face, I flipped to the other side but my hand suddenly fell on somebody, sleeping next to me. Sanity breaks in right away, making me aware of everything.The last memory I had was watching the stars with my head resting on Aster’s shoulder. And I didn’t find that good news.‘Did… Did I end up in his bed?’ a voice asked, which added more to my panic attack.Scared to open my eyes and see him next to me, I gulped hard and checked if I was still dressed. Thankfully, I was able to feel my clothes.‘That means I just cuddled with myself,’ my heart was at ease for a second. The next second, it picked u
