Chapter - 2

Naitee's Pov.:-

" Sadly, you dare to mock me. Now no one can save you from me, scholarship! "

I root to the stop while he moved with the other student who were watching the show with a broad smirk and teasing the guy who just threatened me a second before. My heart dropped into my stomach as realisation banged my head pretty hard. He called me a scholarship means he knows! He knows!

Oh, God! Why me? Now he too will bully me!? And who the stupid person told him all about it? I cursed that person to not get the cake to cut on his/her birthday!

As I was running late for my class I jogged past him to my classroom. I heard whistles and chuckle with him calling me ' little chubby mouse '. However, I got no guys to turn around and spare them any glance despite the fact my heart burnt to kill them altogether.

Me and teacher, we both entered the classroom together. Promptly, I ran to my seat and greet the teacher good afternoon with my classmates. She take our attendance and later on she started to take the class.

In the middle of the lecture my stomach, angry growled in hunger snapping everyone's attention at me. All heads turned to me and laughter filled the class. The teacher too tried to suppress her smile but failed helplessly. My cheeks heat up in embarrassment. The class was silent that's why my stomach's grumbling caught everyone's ears.

As I didn't have anything in lunch so, yeah, it's obvious for my stomach to be mad at me. The cute elephants inside my stomach turned wildest and started to bring tornadoes inside it. To fill my empty stomach I drank some water from my water bottle as now the teacher has silent the class and moved back to the lecture.

The water helped me in calming my hunger. After that classes finished and the day came to the end sooner than my expectation. Today was no sports class or swimming class so, Ya Saturday turned out not that bad for me.

After slowly wrapping my stuff into my bag I let the class go empty. I was the last student in my class who left her class in the end. I sighed in relief when I found my bicycle all fit and fine. Probably no one knows yet that it belongs to me or else they would have destroyed it.

My bicycle is special to me because it was gifted to me by my sister. She brought this on my birthday as a present. My sister is the best sister and person on this earth.

I was removing the lock of my bicycle after unlocking it when I heard an angry horn of the vehicle out of nowhere. I shrink in shock looking around with a gasping mouth and probably wide eyes and agape mouth. My expressions must be matching with a monkey face.

My eyes stopped at the stupid killing devilish black sports car and later on, I noticed that some other sports are also with it. I study each one taking my good time. However, twisting my lips at the stupid car I turned around when again the person horned but this time neither I shrink nor I turned around.

The car continued to horn but I can't point out which one as they were five sports cars in which the black one was looking super cool. However, my heart went to the sparkling purple and black car.

" Good day Uncle " wishing goodbye to watchman uncle I walk out of the school campus with my bicycle. Before sitting on my bicycle seat I made sure that my bag is set to my bicycle carrier. My bicycle race on the road and was about to take a turn to my house alley from the main road but before I could do that a sudden horn stopped me. I stopped my bicycle but that vehicle stopped beside me making me frown and a little bit scared.

It's the same black sports car which I had seen on the school campus. As the window of the car slides down I saw the most unexpected person. My stomach felt cold and ticklish while my throat went dry looking at him inside the car on the driving seat. Isn't he underage to drive a car? It's illegal!

" See you on Monday, little chubby mouse until then miss me " he let out winking at me causing me to gasp. He chuckled at my expression and drove away while the other cars followed him. I just remained rooted to the same spot. Did he just wink at me? He has no shame! God! Where I am stuck? And this stupid coward heart of mine always makes me weak. I hate it.

And what did he say? Miss me!? Huh! Stupid! Why I will miss him? Even my foot won't gonna miss him. Shaking my head at my own stupidity for giving him those shock expressions. I moved to my house.

Parking my bicycle inside the small room which is kind of storeroom. I ran inside the house after removing my shoes outside the house. As I have already seen my sister's shoes on the rack so, I tiptoed and covered her eyes as she was sitting in the living room.

" I know it's you my little cherry " she let out smiling her heart out while pulling me before her.

" Dii(elder sister)!!! I missed you " I cried hugging her. Her warm embrace threw my all problems and bad memories out of the house window.

" I missed you too " her voice was quite broken. She is emotional as me. We both sisters are treasures to each other. We have the heart to heart bonding. And our studies have separated us.

My sister is now in her last year of graduation. For graduation, she passed out the entrance exam for a government university and as that university is in another state so she lives in a hostel. There is one more thing about her. She has started her modelling career however she is new and not at famous but she has a talent for sure which assures me that one day she will become the most popular one. However, she hasn't told about it our parents as they wouldn't support her because our parents are quite old fashioned people. They don't believe in a woman becoming independent especially a model.

" Lassya and Naitee, go fresh up both of you and come to have something" Our mother broke our sentimental moment.

After that, we both had our lunch together as our parents had already eaten. Our father is not at home as he has his job to do. My father works in a small factory of iron metal as a worker.

" So, how's everything going? " I questioned her exciting about to know what she is doing currently. Right now we both are in our bedroom and our mother is in her bedroom. My house is not so big because it was built by my grandfather. He was a farmer. My father has an elder with whom we used to share this house. This house has six rooms and when we separated from them a few years ago. We got three rooms equal to them.

My father used to believe in joint family thing but the realisation hit him hard and betrayal from his elder brother broke his old fashion mentality a little when his elder brother sell off the whole property of the grandfather which they have heritage after his death. My Uncle fooled my father saying he need his signature on the papers because he needs money to start his business but he didn't say the full truth that he is selling my father's shares of property and getting money from the dealer to build his business on his property.

Like an obedient brother, my father came into his words and eventually got fooled when nothing was left in his house. By God grace, this house was left to us. No money and nothing was to us to eat and survive. For survival, my father got employed in the iron factory as a worker. Before that, we used to harvest and we had three shops in the main market which were going good but Uncle sold everything from our shares.

Since then my father didn't talk to him and never went to meet him again. My uncle left this house as he moved to the bigger one which he build after becoming rich. He has given his shares of rooms of this house on rent to some people and earned money from them.

The storeroom which is outside the house is the one room which connects our house with his. When we separate from him we took the other end of the house and gave him the other end. Yes, the house is divided vertically.

" Everything is going okay. You wouldn't believe me. I got a part-time job " she let out in excitement. Well, getting a part-time job is not new from her side because she has done many from this one.

" What's the profession this time? " questioned back in the hope she didn't become a waitress in any bar.

" In the mall as a salesgirl in clothing" she explained and I hugged her.

" That awesome. Did you tell about it to mom? " I questioned her and an instant reply came from her as a big no because she shook her head vigorously left to right. However, our parents know that she does part-time jobs as she stops asking for money from our father. She is independent in her finance. Sometimes she helps our father with money too.

" Wait I got something for you! " She jumped down from the bed and unzipped her small bag which she brought with her.

" A gift!? Omg! Thanks, di " I yelp in joy looking at the gift-wrapped item in her hands. The moment she handed it to me I opened it carefully not wanting to crumble the gift wrapper. I love collecting them for use in future to wrap gifts.

" It's a dress! " I let out in shock looking at the beautiful dress. It's so beautiful. It's an Indian long floral suit. Its blood-red colour is making it look like a hot outfit. It's been like a year for me to get a new pair of clothes even I didn't get any on my birthday but I was happy that I at least got cake because some children didn't even get that.

" It's so beautiful di! " I said hugging her. She caressed my back and kissed my head while saying " before your beautiful smile it's nothing "

" By the way wear your glasses first. Probably it's not that beautiful as you are seeing it without your glasses on " she made fun of me wearing glasses. In revenge, I tickle her.

" Enough of tickling me. Now go and change into it. Let me see how my cherry will look into it " She said pushing me aside from her. With a quick nod, I changed into the dress in the room itself in her presence.

" It's a bit tight " I complained as the dress fit so well showing my chubby form.

" Nonsense! It's not right it's right in the fitting. Seems like I was right in your measures. You are looking hot in this. " She said slapping my hands away from my stomach. Well, I have a bit out belly which is now showing making me self-conscious about my look.

" Well, say something cherry. Didn't you like it? " she questioned me as I looked at myself into the mirror not saying anything.

" It's nice but don't you think it's not looking good on me? " I questioned her but shit my mouth when I saw her glaring at me.

" Dare you to shame on your figure. You maybe be chubby but it doesn't mean you are ugly. You are beautiful in your form kiddo. And let me tell you secret guys like chubby girls more than slim " She teased me in the end as she knows my crush on my maths teacher. I have told her about it the day I build my crush on him.

I don't know how my Sunday too went with her in a snap of a finger. We spanned our weekend together like crazy. We cooked together, roamed our neighbour's colony, did a little bit of shopping which was nothing special just periods pads, we plant a few flower plants on both sides of the entrance gate of our house. Our house is two-three stairs up. So, the planted flowers look good.

" I am gonna miss you " I let out hugging her tightly while our parents look at my sister with moist eyes. Obviously! We all miss her. I just hope she soon graduate and get her dream job then we all can live together. Currently, it's five in the morning and my sister is going back to her hostel as she just came to meet us at the weekend.

" Same here, cherry. But I have to go now. I will come back soon " She said caressing my head like a mother.

" Okay, then. Take care and call us when you reach there. Okay? " father said to her making us break our hug. My tears fogged my vision as I don't want her to go but she has to.

" Don't be upset. Cheer up my cherry. I have to leave now or else we both will be late for our classes. And I assume you don't want to miss your school since it's your dream school " She let out wiping my tears away from my cheeks. Well, I didn't tell her about my issues in the new school. Neither I lied to her nor I told her the truth. I just didn't let us talk about my school because if she would have asked how I am doing in my school then I wouldn't have been able to lie to her. So, she doesn't know anything. With one more last wave, she slides inside the auto and went to her hostel.

My father left for his work while I quickly got ready for my school. I had my breakfast and as always my mother made a lunch box for me. I hope to have it at least today I put it inside my bag and take out my bicycle from the storeroom.

" Bye mom, I am going to school " I informed her kissing her cheeks to which she kissed my forehead and see me off.

As I entered inside my school campus I greet the guard uncle and moved to park my bicycle in the bicycle stand. As always the bicycle parking area was empty because I come early to the school so that I can park my bicycle in a safe area and no one could know about my bicycle. 

However, the students who come on the bus arrived late than me but they arrive fifteen minutes early from the assembly ring. The students who come earlier are those who come from their own vehicles like bicycles, cars or taxis.

As usual, I walk to the locker hall. Now, those stupid students mocking me didn't affect me that intense as they had the first time. Surprisingly, I arrived safely at my locker. Sadly, my little celebration didn't last long as my face hit the locker's door because of the push. My bag was snatched away from me.

They threw my things out of my bag. I felt helpless when they took the pen which my sister had given me yesterday. I panicked when she study the pen with a smile which was no less than a witchy one. This pen is quite expensive in my eyes, my sister has expended her two hundred rupees on it.

" No, give it to me. It mine! Please! " I cried in panic as she put the pen inside her chest pocket while kicking my bag away from her way. She didn't stop so I ran behind her while two guys were opening my tiffin box. Well, my tiffin box is not anymore my concern. That pen matters to me more than my food.

I pulled her to me to stop which lead to her imbalance in her step and eventually, she fall to the ground. My eyes turned wider knowing now she will kill me as she spites fire from her eyes and soon going to burn me with her venomous words.

" You fatty ugly bitch. How dare you to pull me. You make me fall on the ground " She yelled as she stood up on her feet. My steps moved backwards when her threatening self moved to me. She is looking no less than a ghost in a horror movie.

" I am sorry but you were running away with my pen. Please give it back to me " I request her while tears formed in my eyes.

" Well, glad to burst your bubble. I. Am. Not. Gonna. Give. It. Back. To. You. You bitch! " She stressed each word while pushing my shoulders in a challenging way.

Well, if I slap her she wouldn't be able to stand back on her feet and will for sure blackout but her financial status is that which is stopping me from slapping her.

In a snap of a moment, my face turn to the left with a burning sting over my right cheek. A high pitch of sound echoed around me. Tears of humiliation gathered in my eyes. She slapped me. Like a slow-motion, I moved face move and look at her. My glassy eyes saw her smirking at my condition.

" Serves you right fatty. Dare you to come closer my girl " I heard another voice. I looked at the guy who is one year senior and her boyfriend.

After that, I didn't dare to ask for my pen back. With glassy eyes, I bid it farewell and hope she fails in her exam if she ever dares to use my pen. They both disappeared while those two monkeys still eating my lunch box. They have eaten nearly half of my tiffin box. Probably they will empty it soon.

I turned to my laying bag and started to gather my stuff. Surprisingly the hall went pin-drop silent and I heard footsteps getting closer. However, I didn't look up as my concern was to gather my stuff before the assembly bell.

" They are hot! "

" I like that one more "

" You know he is the son of this campus's owner"

" they have their respective sports cars "

" he has the sharpest jawline among them "

I heard some hushed talk of the girls while pretty annoying grunts from boys. Must be some new comments as admissions are still open. I continued to gather my books and saw that my notebooks wrappers are torn. It looks like they tore my notebooks cover deliberately.

Before I could stop up from the ground five pairs of footsteps stopped before me and make a circle around me caging me into it. I am already very pissed right now and I don't want another show so, I just stood up silently with a lower head.

My cheek is already in pain. One guy move forward to me who was standing before me. In reflex, I stepped back and step on the guy foot who was behind me. I was about to fall when the guy before me pulled me to him by my wrist.

My body banged to him and out of fear and anger, I looked up at the guy. My breath hiccup in my throat. No word came out of my mouth when I saw who it is. I tried to free my wrist from him when he tighten his hold after looking at my face.

His soft amusement filled eyes turned hard cold and dark in fury. I flinched when he brought up his free hand over my side face. Well, if I say I am not afraid of our proximity then it would be a white lie. My soul is turning round and round in fear. He chins up my face causing me to squeeze my eyes tightly.

An unexpected thing happened. Rather than hitting me or pushing me away, he caressed my hitten cheek making me frown a little in discomfort as my skin burnt. He grunts like a lion and pushed me away.

" Go to your class, little chubby mouse, right now! " his husky voice turned into an ordering one at the last with his eyes spitting anger. My body was alert in action and I ran to my class taking my bag. I didn't look back not even when I heard a guy saying " she has sexy peaches"
