Chapter 3

VINEET'S POV

(SILVER-HAIRED GUY)

Issac...

and I want all of you to stay away from me.

(BROWN-HAIRED GUY)

Ethan...

and I won't mind some hot chicks.

(BLUE-HAIRED GIRL)

I am Riley and I like some hot guys.😉

(BLUE-EYED GIRL)

I am Julia and that's my cousin Levias, he doesn't interact with useless people so be careful or you might get hurt.

*pointing toward the black-haired guy while smirking*

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

After introducing themselves, They began to walk in my direction cause the only vacant seats were around me. So, I have to be their shy little desk mate and make friends with them [note the sarcasm].

The two girls sat on both of my sides with Julia on my left and Riley on the right.

Ethan sat in front of me and Issac sat leaving a desk behind me leaving it solely for the beast.

When I made contact with the dark mysterious eyes I just couldn't look away, it was like something telling me to know more about him but to not get involved with him, I have to avoid him as much as I can. So breaking our little eye contact I looked down showing a shy look that I am most familiar with by now.

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

(RILEY)

Hey, I am Riley and I am sure we are gonna be good friends.

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

Well so much for not wanting to interact with them, I murmured sarcastically.

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

(ME)

*Showing a big fake smile*

I am Vineet Wright, you can call me Neet.

(JULIA)

I am Julia and a nice name by the way.

(ME)

*turning to Julia*

Thank you

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

The bell rang just in time and I ran out of the room as if some monster was chasing me.

Well that's definitely not the truth, I just walked fast so that they won't catch up to me.

~DURING LUNCH BREAK~

*

*

Phew... That's quite a lot of study for today, I thought while making my way to the cafeteria. I walked to the counter and got myself a burger and fries, well it's not proper food but what can I say I love burgers so so much that I can have them every day.

Now I guess I am exaggerating it.😝

I was glad to see the corner table empty despite the almost packed cafeteria. So I put my meal down and seated myself, ready to eat in peace.

But guess what...LUCK was definitely not on my side as I feel something on my head flowing down onto my loose shirt soaking it wet.

"Well great!!! so much for peace" I murmured to myself in a very low voice. The whole cafeteria was filled with the laughter of the students, they were really enjoying watching me like this, calling me names like nerd, goody two shoes, good for nothing but I just ignored them as I already have been accustomed to this type BULLSHIT.

It's not like I can't teach them a lesson, I just don't wanna waste my time or be the center of attention. By the center of attention, I don't mean this type of attention I was receiving now but the other way around.

I sat from my seat with my head down making my way to the restroom but that doesn't go as planned.

I got pulled back roughly by my arm but it doesn't hurt that much as I have suffered more severely than this. I was pulled back only to be greeted by a sharp stinging pain on my left cheek.

FUÇK

I didn't expect that, Well maybe only 40% about being slapped was expected. The slap couldn't make me fall to the ground as I was much stronger than her but I have to show the exact opposite so I just made myself kiss the ground and to make it more appealing to the crowd that was watching I started crying for a good show.

I forced myself to squeeze out some tears and suppressed myself from killing that damn bitch. Reena was the bitch that just put on a show for the whole cafeteria and I can't do anything but endure it for now. Her time will eventually come.

Shakily I stood on my feet and started backing away from her and once I was at a good distance from her I made a run for the restroom.

As I was about to exit the cafeteria, from the corner of my eye I saw Levias and his gang watching me, the girls showing sympathy while Levias and Issac having a blank expression with Ethan showing slight sympathy on his otherwise blank face.

Ignoring them I made my way to the cafeteria as fast as I could avoiding the gazes of other students. I really wanted to snap at them but luckily I get to my destination just in time.l before I could lose myself.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't believe that it was me. POOR ME!!! MY BEAUTY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE...

All my hairs were wet and sticky looking like a proper and complete mess. My shirt was even wetter than the hairs and was sticking to my body like a second skin. if not for the black undershirt I was wearing it would have been embarrassing. "As I care," I thought still looking in the mirror.

Shit!! I suddenly remembered that I don't have a spare shirt to wear.

Isn't it cool??

Now I just have to walk in the school only wearing my undershirt, wouldn't it be a great site for the boys I pondered over it but shakes my head at the idea?

There was a knock at the door and from the voice of it, they were Riley and Julia.

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

(RILEY)

Hey Neet we know u are there.

Quickly open the door.

(JULIA)

We just came to check on you.

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

I decided to open the door feeling the concern in their voices.

When I opened the door they heaved a sigh of relief probably thinking I won't open the door cause of the way I ran from the classroom.

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

(JULIA)

You definitely don't look good and it can't be fixed here.

(ME)

"I know but I can't do anything about it," I said feeling frustrated.

(RILEY)

Umm...

*pondering for a moment*

Why don't we bunk and take u to our place to freshen up and then we can know about each other more.

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

I was thinking to reject her but suddenly an idea came over me. I decided to befriend them instead of avoiding them that way I can know their true identity but I just have to be extra careful around them not to expose myself, to know their purpose of coming to this school.

I knew curiosity kills the cat but I can't help myself but be curious.

Let's see where this curiosity takes me to.

Is it HELL or HEAVEN?

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

(ME)

Umm...

*biting my lips*

I don't know I have never bunked before.

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

Even though it wasn't true and I so badly wanted to escape from here and take a long shower but I have to put the idea of saying that out loud to a side cause I have a reputation to maintain u know the one I am a fan of. Let's not burden up ur brain so to make it simple I have a fucking reputation of being goody two shoes who never miss classes and never ever bunks.

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

(JULIA)

*smirking*

Oh, c'mon it's gonna be fun.

By the way, you can't just walk around drenched in some drink, or are you?

*looking Neet up and down*

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

I pretended to ponder for a while before agreeing to her words.

Guess what..... all the •STAYING AWAY• thing is out of the cAse now...

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

(ME)

FINE...You guys win. I will come with you.

(RILEY)

Great, now let's get out of this hellll...

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

She yelled while dragging me by my hand with Julia just behind us.

I sighed, "Guess what I just have to get accustomed to being dragged around by them" I muttered to myself letting her drag me whole the way to the parking area.

When we reached the parking lot the girls dragged me towards the modified Willy jeep.

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

(ME)

WOW!!!! It's cool...Not bad

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

I couldn't look away from the beauty in front of me.

Even though I have many beauties in my garage probably more beautiful than this but it has its own style.

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

(JULIA)

Looks like u also like cars.

(ME)

*I turned towards her and corrected her*

I don't like cars I love them, see there is a difference between like and love.

(RILEY)

Hahaha... good one.

Now let's move on to the seats before the boys come.

(ME)

What!! Aren't we girls the only ones going to your house?

(JULIA)

No, we came together today so we can't leave them here and my cousin doesn't allow me and Riley to drive.

*while scratching the back of her head*

(ME)

Fineee...

(JULIA)

One more thing, We also stay together so it's not mine but the whole group's home.

(RILEY)

Chill the boys won't bite u and they will become ur friends in no time well except Levias.

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

She murmured the last part in a low voice probably not for me to listen but what can I say I have good hearing so I am bound to listen.

Riley and I sat in the backseat while Julia called her cousin to come to the parking lot so that we can go home soon.

After telling the boys to show up she sat beside me. I have a hunch that she didn't tell the boys about me coming with them. I guess it's gonna be a surprise for them.

Riley and Julia both took their black pens and started making random drawings on my arms.

I tried to stop them but every time I told them to stop they just ignored me and continued on their serious mission of making my whole arm fill up with weird drawings. Since they were not listening to me so I just let my thoughts wander to a certain pair of black eyes.

Someone cleared their throat making me come back from my own world to reality only to see the person himself standing with an unreadable expression on his face.
