Thinking it was Kristen, I didn’t hesitate to grab it and wiped my tears. When I was done, my eyes fell on shoes which looked nothing like Kristen. Gulping hard as I looked up, I was dumbfounded to see Newt looking down at me.

Our eyes meet and lock. Neither did he move his gaze away from me, nor did I look away. We just kept on diving into each other until footsteps entering the classroom intervened us.

Hastily, moving my gaze away, I cleared my throat, and stammered, “Thank… Thank you…”

Kristen rushed to me with a bar of chocolate and handed it to me. “Here, improve your mood.”

Taking the chocolate, I started to munch it without sharing it with anyone, because I knew I needed to eat it all to calm myself down.

“Did something happen?” all of a sudden, Newt asked, and I stopped chewing immediately.

Well, I was not prepared to answer him. How was I supposed to tell my crush that I had been ditched by the senior who I took as the perfect person I have ever met.

Helplessly, I glanced at

    Then suddenly I heard a bottle cracking sound and when I strolled my gaze at it, my eyes widened, seeing Aster crashing a bottle in his hand and gazing at me.Pulling my lips between my teeth, I was trying to figure out what he was upto, when suddenly I flinched with the slam on our table. As I averted my gaze at the sound, I saw Kristen tapping the table and laughing hard. And before I could ask her anything, she said, “Someone has said it right, Prisha. Whatever happens, it happens for a reason. See you were ditched so that a better one could approach you and tell you that you deserve the best.”“Krist!” I elbowed her but she paid no attention to it and resumed eating her food as if she didn't care what Aster would think.“Are you calling me the best?” suddenly Tarry questioned and she glanced at him before rolling her eyes.Trying to stay calm, I grabbed my milkshake and tucked the straw between my lips. I had just sipped it when suddenly Newt knelt before me and said, “You have s

    “Dumb?” Tarry rumbled and as we averted our gaze at him, he was standing before us, hands tucked on his hips and an expression blanketed with disappointment.Glaring at Kristen, he rumbled, “Why would you even call me that?”Folding her arms, she replied shortly, “Because you are one.”I elbowed her, trying to stop her from being rude. “Krist, stop being mean to him.”“No, I am not being rude, I am just stating the facts. Is it a crime to do that?” she questioned. “No, but seeing the way you are acting it seems like you are jealous?” I quipped, chuckling.“Jealous? For him?” She rolled her eyes. “Duh! Think of something which is going to happen, girl, not such nonsense.”“Prisha, I think we should go add our names to the list rather than waste our time here with nonsense girls,” suggested Tarry.‘Oh! My! I bet Tarry got straight on her nerves.’Opening her mouth wide, she stared at Tarry and then asked, “Did you call me nonsense?”Looking around, he replied, “Is there anyone around w

    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?

    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.

    “Prisha!” Mom's sudden call dragged me back to where I was lying and I couldn’t help getting more panicked.The door to my room was flung wide open and I was numb on the bed, watching her breaking in.“What is wrong, love? Why were you screaming?” she inquired and I hastily darted at Aster, who was above me.But to my surprise, there was no sign of him. ‘Where did he go?’ I mused, pulling myself up and looking around.“Honey, I am talking to you.” Mom moved closer to me.“I…” gulping hard, I tried to find a possible reason to tell her.Getting more alert, she began to move around. “Why are you not saying anything? Tell me what it is?”“There… There was a cockroach,” I stammered, scratching the corner of my forehead.“HONEY!” She rolled her eyes, probably in disappointment.Wrapping my hand around her, I mumbled, “I am sorry to scare you, mom. You know how scared I am of cockroaches.”Shaking her head right to left, she rumbled, “And you scare the hell out of me.”“I am sorry. Now you

    After spending the whole afternoon laughing and chattering, Kristen and Tarry left, taking all the charm of my room along with them. The group studies which we were intended to do were lost between our fun but none of us cared about it.When I was left all alone in my room, I leaned on my hands and surveyed my room. Then suddenly I caught sight of the paper bag placed on my nightstand. Reaching out for it, I peeked inside the bag before a big smile appeared on my face.I must admit that Aster was reflecting on his mistake without any miss by taking full care of me. As promised, he had sent me the medicine along with a bar of chocolate.Giving damn care about the medicine, I shoved my hand inside the bag and grabbed the chocolate which was already flooding my mouth with saliva.Then tossing the bag aside, I ripped the packet. Feeling bliss about taking each bite, I kept on eating the chocolate as if there was no promise tomorrow.‘I am sorry,

    “Krist! What is taking you so long?” I grumbled, staring at the washroom door. “Just a second,” the reply came from behind the door. “I wonder what you are doing there. You were the type of person who would never delay,” I complained after having to wait for so long, but all I got was a long silence. Another couple of minutes passed by with no sign of Kristen, which pissed me off. Fed up, I got on my feet before grabbing my bag, and preparing to leave. I shouted out loud, “Krist, I am off. Come when you are done,” and without hearing her out, I made my way out. Overcoming the slight pain in my ankle, I made it through the front door and successfully reached the gate. But as soon as I got to the road, I was greeted by Tarry standing before his gate. “Hey! Prisha!” he called out, waving at me. “Hey!” I replied, wondering where he might be heading with his bag. “Where is Kristen?” he asked, glancing at her house. “She is at her house,” I replied and bit my lips.

    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

    “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.

    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,

    “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

    “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

    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
