The storm calls

"Hey! Alizah, how are you?"

Shawn questioned Alizah with a smile and Ronan saw him in confusion.

"Wait, do you know her?"

Before Alizah could respond to anything, Ronan questioned Shawn.

"Yeah, I've met her a few days back and came to know she recently joined our school but don't know why she was sad when I met her first, and still there doesn't seem to be much change in her mood."

Shawn bent down slightly to look into Alizah's eyes but she jerked off her vision from his eyes. She did not want to encounter him or Ronan or anyone related to Ronan. She wanted to stay away from him.

"That's alright, she doesn't remain in good mood often."

Ronan commented and Alizah rolled her eyes at his unnecessary comment. 

"But wait, are you both friends?"

Shawn asked Ronan with a curiosity that shouldn't be there in his voice. He was oddly interested in knowing about their relationship. Even Alizah was suspecting him to be a creep. 

"What do you care Shawn? Aren't we getting late for the practice?"

Ronan said and Shawn looked at him.

"Yeah! Let's go."

"I'll see you later."

The threat was evident in Ronan's voice. His statement only meant that there was still torture left to be given to Alizah. 

They both left and Alizah was left with her thoughts. She knew that Ronan found pleasure in intimidating and torturing her but she did not want to give him the pleasure of satisfaction just by acting weak in front of him or submit to whatever he said. She would never let Ronan win in his mind games.

The classes went quite peacefully when Ronan wasn't there. Although the seat behind Alizah where Ronan sat last day was still empty. He surely must have warned everyone to stay away from Alizah. But she couldn't understand why was he suddenly interested in making her life miserable, he barely knew her and he even hated her, which he still did but at first, he didn't even want to see her face. It made her feel like the ugliest person ever but at least it was better than having him around and having to deal with his mind games.

"Hey! Iris, you need to come with us."

Chloe's sudden call for Alizah puzzled her already perplexed mind. "Now what does she wants?" Alizah thought.

"Why?"

Alizah asked.

"Why do you always ask so many questions, huh? Can't you just come without asking for once?"

Chloe sounded frustrated.

"And you think there's any possible reason that I could trust you and follow you to wherever you want to take me? Hell no, I don't trust you to come with you."

Alizah chuckled as she kept the notebook in her back and stood to go out of the classroom.

"You should better listen when I say it for the first time..."

"Or what will you do, huh? You'll intimidate me, you'll do every possible thing to make sure I'm having my comfortable hard time, trying to manage my school life here? Or you'll go on and ask every individual student in our class to stay away from me so that I feel left out... But wait, your friend has already done every single one of that task. So there is nothing you can do about it now."

Alizah cuts Chloe in between and reminded her that she wasn't afraid of her or her friend Ronan. No matter how much hard they tried but they could never break her. She would never let them do so. Chloe's face was now turning red out of anger. There has been enough insult she has taken from Alizah's side. If Ronan wouldn't have asked her to not deal with Alizah or harm her, she would have surely made her with Alizah by now. She would have reminded her of every bad thing that happened in hell. She would have made this place no less than hell for her. Which it already was. 

But she didn't understand one thing, why did Ronan prohibit her from doing anything to Alizah? There was no way, he was gonna let it be easy for her then why can't Chloe do anything about her aggressive behavior? Sometimes it was hard for Chloe as well to understand Ronan. He was psychotic, who knew how to play mind games and especially how to win those. His alluring personality was a threat to every girl that fell for him. His brain was even a much tremendous puzzle. Only he could ever understand what was going inside it.

"Fine then. I'll ask Ronan to come and get you himself. Then I'll see what amount of efforts you exhibit to save your sorry ass."

Alizah hasn't expected that Chloe was here to call her on Ronan's behalf. Why would he do so? There was no way Ronan's name was intimidating her but a part of her knew, if Ronan didn't get what he wanted then he will snatch it and for the sake of same, she had to make sure that he did not have any other twisted plans going on in his mind.

"Wait! Why is Ronan calling for me?"

Alizah asked perplexed than she has ever been.

"As if he ever tells anyone what's going in his mind. Go and find out for yourself, he's on the football field. I informed you, now I don't really care if you go on your own or he drags you there."

Chloe placed the hand on her pockets and stormed out of the classroom in anger. But there was some other feeling taking form inside her as well. She wasn't aware of it herself but she didn't like the fact that Ronan was taking so much interest in Alizah all of a sudden. It burnt her from inside that Ronan asked her to call for Alizah and without harming her.

Standing perplexed in the middle of the classroom Alizah wasn't sure if she should go to the football field or not. She knew if she didn't go then Ronan would find a way to drag her there because that's what Ronan always did. He always acted like that.

Alizah took her bag and headed towards the football field, hoping that she would deal with everything that came her with enough courage. But only she wasn't aware that storm can't be dealt with without facing destruction.

"What's wrong Ronan?"

Ronan was practicing with a football when Alizah's voice distracts him and with a smirk, he went to him. The other members of the team saw them both in amazement and every guy on the team had a devilish grin on their face. Few of them even made noises to tease Ronan when Alizah questioned him as soon as she reached the football field.

"Hey, sweetheart! I didn't know you were desperate to meet me too."

Ronan's charming personality was definitely irresistible but Alizah could never fall under its trap. She knew how to keep her distance from that deceiving personality. 

"Nope, I wasn't. Now tell me why you called for me or I'm leaving."

Alizah threatened.

"If you appeared when I wanted you to, do you think you leave without my permission?"

There was truth in his words. He wouldn't let Alizah leave until he achieved whatever the heck he wanted to from her.

"Ronan, stop playing around, honestly! Tell me why you called for me."

Alizah was starting to get frustrated now.

"I want you to become the head cheerleader for the match."

Ronan asserted.

"What the hell are you talking about? I should have never come here in the first place. You could never have anything of importance to talk about. I'm leaving."

Alizah turned around to leave the place but Ronan grips her hand and pulled her close to him, so close that now Alizah could smell him, his aftershave's fragrance mixed with the sweat and there was one more fragrance, that couldn't be described in words. It has no name, rather it was just Ronan's, like his own identification of a smell. Alizah hated to admit the fact but she was mesmerized by that smell for a moment and now she could feel Ronan's breath on her neck.

"You will do as I say!"

He waned.

"What if I don't?"

Alizah challenged.

"Is there anything worse you can do with me? Aren't you already found enough, Ronan?"

They both didn't seem to care about the whole football team that was watching them. It was like just two people present there at the moment with an equal amount of hatred for each other. A battle that could only be conquered by ruining the other person's dignity.

"Don't challenge me Alizah, you won't like it."

Ronan said in a hushed, cold voice and by now Alizah has understood Ronan to the point that she knew he wasn't lying when he stated this. If he said it won't be pretty, then he would surely make it hell ugly for her.

"But why do you want me to do it?"

Alizah questioned as she stopped struggling to get her hand removed from Ronan's grip.
