CHAPTER 4 :- Why me??? I pout and wonder... and CANNIBAL!!!
KRISTEN'S POV
I felt pretty comfortable at the position I was sleeping in. Until this flash. This really annoying flash. I really thought I had become blind but still I knew that it would really last a few seconds until I know the truth of what's going on. My eyes snap open and everything is white.
1...2...3... . The whiteness had begun to fade and I could see the four boys on the laptop. Zac was missing. I think I realized that a little too late that I was resting my head on his lap and I had mistaken his hand as a teddy bear even though the comparison was way far apart. I quickly release his hand as I got up, beginning to blush. I walked towards the boys.
" Hey guys, watcha doing?" I ask, curiously, still feeling quite awkward about what had just happened. "Posting a pic of you sleeping on Facebook." Ash says, quietly giggling. What? A picture of me sleeping? No, no, no, nooooo!!! "Already done that, babe. On Twitter and Instagram too." Walt laughs at me for being such a late current. "Delete it!" "Can't, not possible." Dylan, on the laptop, doing something. "Well at least I can see it, right?" My emotion changed from completely horrified to extremely sweet. "Ummm... after we get something like a 1000 likes." Ash replies. 1000 likes? That's gonna take months.
" No, it won't. But it might take a week or two." Ash answering my thought. "Whatever. I am hungry. Dylan, coming?" I ask on my way to the kitchen.
I pick up a bag of chips and sit on the table. Thank god, no one was there except for Dylan who was already munching on a ready-made cheese sandwich. SNAP! The flash! Again! Don't tell me they took another one. As soon as I get my vision back, "This one looks sexy. Definitely going up on Fb." Walt says, with a Cheshire smile or more over a smirk. What's up with these people! I totally give up on them!
"Awww, Sexy looks like she needs a hug." Ash tries to make that 'Awww.... you're so cute' face. "Ash, don't even think about it!" I threatened, knowing what he was up to. Yup, you're right. Chase me around the whole house. And that was exactly what he did. He chased me up and down and here and there. And the couch is the only saviour I have right now cause the other boys were apparently laughing. I know he is only doing this so that he could buy some time for them to upload the pic.
Damn him! He thinks he is so smart? He suddenly stops. Thank god, I was pretty tired anyways. And I bet he made me lose another few pound or so, give or take. That too so quickly. If in future needed, I'll offer him the job of a personal trainer. "Well, Sexy... you have to learn one thing in this house. I am very smart and I would love to take up the job and-"
Huh? How does he manage to always read my mind? Am I an open book now? Cause usually people find it very hard to read me except for this guy over here who answers the exact questions in my mind.
And Chris continued his incomplete sentence with a smile " and you shouldn't keep talking to yourself or people will call you insane one day." God, I really should control my thoughts. I think he is right. I say everything out loud and then think people read my mind. It's ok, Kristen, it keeps happening, now and then. Now all you have to be is extra careful. Especially when Ash is around.
I can't believe I'm panting so much. I just feel like I ran a marathon and have come last. I glare at him while he is laughing with the others. Surprisingly, he doesn't look tired at all. I could see that he wanted to chase me around again. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even panting to prove that he was running behind someone. He just seems too relaxed which is not very humanly.
"So now I am not allowed to look at both the pics until I get a 1000 likes?" I ask, just to get the obvious fact right. "Yup, you guessed just right, babe." Walt says, as his eyes are on the screen of his laptop. "Whatever, I'm going to my room. I have some work to do. I'll complete it and join you guys later." and I quickly go to my room and sit on my bed to write my diary.
Dear Diary,
It has been only one day since I came to 'The Dark Side' premises. I thought things would start awkwardly since I was just a normal gurl staying with a bunch of freakingly famous people. But they have been treating me like I was their childhood friend.
Ash seems very sweet and keeps treating me like a customer in his very own hotel which does seem to make him very happy. He always manages to read my mind. I wonder how though. Walt is very mischievous and won't even leave me when it comes to pranks. Guess I got the taste of my own medicine. Dylan is my eating buddy because others love to see me eat alone. Chris... Hmmm what do I say about him? He is a very sweet and a true gentleman. And Zac! Don't even ask about him. He's just too hot. Just like how I imagined it to be. Plus he seems to like taking charge.
What I mean is that they are so friendly and free unlike some singers who pretend to be our superiors. And they are so fun- loving and naughty, One thing I love the most about them even though I was the centre for their playful prank which I didn't mind, they acted like things were no big deal which was rare in the celebrity world. But still there are many things I don't understand and one of them is about their group name. Why would they name their band 'The Dark Side'? If you hear the name, you would imagine a few people who were high tech goths but these guys are too sweet for me to believe that shit. Somebody better remind me to ask this question.
I shut my diary and take a piece of paper out. I write the question down and begin to think if I really had any other questions left. Hmmmm...
CHRIS'S POV
Did she feel bad because of the pictures? I decided to apologize on the behalf of this group. I knocked at the door of her room. "Hmmm..." the voice in her room said. I enter, unsure what that meant. She seemed like she was concentrating on something. Her eyes were closed and she sat on the bed, her legs folded. "Hey!" I tried to take it out as if nothing happened. "Hmmm..." She said again. "I just wanted to apologize for what happened." I say, feeling a little guilty. I sit on the bed next to her, still awaiting for some reaction. "Huh? Oh! Ummm.... Sorry wasn't really paying attention. What happened?" she says as she shook her head a little as if she was in a trance and then tilted it, her huge eyes pouring the emotion of wonder. God, she's so cute.
"I just wanted to apologize for what happened." I say, repeating my earlier words, laced with even more guilt. She looked confused. Well, she had that look. "We didn't know you would feel bad about posting your pictures on social networking sites and-" Everything came tumbling out. I couldn't stop myself but she did. "Hey, who said I felt bad?" Her smile was growing. "Well, you walked away in anger!" I try to reason with her. "...Cause right now the boys are kind of repenting." "Hey, It wasn't anger ! I had to hurry. I really had some work to do." She says with a smile, waving the piece of paper and a pen around to prove her point.
"Ok, so at least now I can apologize for disturbing you right now. The truth is that we usually don't have guests and rarely do have fun like this. It's just that I feel so happy when everyone is enjoying together." "I understand." She says with a lost sigh. I could say she still looked kinda lost. I think I should leave her alone for awhile. It was wrong of me to disturb her for no reason. "I need to go. " I mutter as I quickly leave her room.
KRISTEN'S POV
I was just thinking about the questions and Chris just came and started apologizing about posting the pics. Truth is that it was very sweet for him to do that but the fact was I didn't really mind it. See, that was what I meant.
Infact, I loved playing pranks myself and haven't played one for a long time. So right now, I think I got the taste of my own medicine and trust me, it tasted pretty awful. But I was glad I could bring a smile on their faces. I could see that Chris understood I wanted to be alone so I would concentrate on my work since he silently left the room. But that didn't bring any ideas in mind. So I literally gave up thinking and decided to read the book.
But I couldn't find the book I was reading yesterday anywhere. I even turned my whole room upside down to get it but no avail. I sigh... My mistake I lost it.
I gave up. It was lost . It's destiny ended up to no where. I was a little hungry as I didn't get to eat because they didn't allow me to. So I sneaked down and was about to enter when I heard voices. I could tell it was Ash and Dylan. "I am hungry! Give me food or I will..." Bet you that was Dylan. "Or what?" "I will eat Kristen up." Perfect time to make my entry. I stood there by the door, with my hand covering my mouth as it hung open. "Dylan, I didn't know you were a ...cannibal!"
ASH'S POV
I begin to smile. Kristen had just spoken Zac's words. Exact words... I think it was a good thing we chose her. We get to know her plus we will understand why Zac was interested in her.
I looked at Dylan, trying to see what his reaction was going to be. He, too seemed surprised but then he recovered pretty fast. "Oh Poor Kristen. She had to come to know my secret." He walked towards her as if he was the predator and she was the prey. I thought of intervening in between but then at that moment he began to chase her.
"I am a cannibal! Hear me roar." I sat down to watch this moment. It was pretty funny, you know. "FYI, cannibals don't roar." she shouted back, acting like a smart ass. I bet they didn't realize they were running around the table, like little kids trying to have fun and out race each other. "Well, I'm the first cannibal who has learnt to roar." he said. I could have continued to enjoy but Zac, Chris and Walt had come in to spoil the fun.
"What's going on in here?" Walt asks, clearly amused at the sight of two people running around the table which also included me. At that moment, Kristen runs behind the boys. Now instead of the table being their centre, it was the boys chance to be a part of the chase.
"Beware! The cannibal is here." She says, giggling like a little child. I could see Zac smirk. He understood what was going on. But why is he always the one to spoil the fun? Hey! I thought you understood. He stops Kristen by the arm, faces inches apart. And the growling noise, loud and clear to spoil the moment. "Looks like someone's hungry?" Zac says, clearly meaning Kristen. "Actually I am. Chef, What's for lunch?"
Everyone looking at me. Finally they noticed that I am alive. "Dylan wanted pizza. So I ordered some. It's out on the table." Dylan smirked. "Couldn't you tell me a little later? l could have finshed eating Kristen up. I bet she would be really tasty ... Ouch! What was that for?" Zac had smacked his arm really hard, according to the force applied. "The cannibal deserved it." she murmurs, still giggling as she opens one of the pizza box."So this is all for me and the cannibal?" She asks me, pointing at the cannibal but ignoring the others. There were 4 huge boxes. "Those three are for both of you. And that one is for us."
" Why didn't you guys eat before?" She asks the others with pretended innocence. "Since you were complaining so much, we decided to give you company." Chris answers. "That is so sweet of you guys." again with that hinted sweetness. I shook my head slowly. And the TV was switched on. Walt was busy with his laptop. "Hey, Babe! Wanted to check out the pics, right?"
KRISTEN'S POV
I was going to bite into my cheesy slice when Walt called me. The pics? Ah yeah! I went to him while these guys were hiding their smiles. Please don't tell me the pics were funny. I see the first pic of me peacefully sleeping on Zac's lap. I blushed as only one word flashed into my mind. Cute! He was smiling to himself as he had caressed my cheek. Definitely cute. "Wow. More than a 2000 likes. That too in one day. I'm impressed. " I looked at the comments
- Zac looks so cute!!!
-Plz dnt tell me dat girl is dating Zac. I'll kill her.
-God, I wish I could exchange places with dat gurl. It would b a dream cum true....
-Zac, dnt do dat. ur only mine. only mine. u get it. I luv u. Dnt ditch me 4 her plz.
-Happy 2 c Zac happy. I gotta agree they do make a gud couple
-Zac, I luv u ... and I promise 2 kill her 4 u.
The comments were for him. I didn't mind that. Secretly I loved the pic. The next one was me sitting on the table, crossing my ankles, eating Chips. That one too looked amazing. It did have a little less than a 1500 likes. And the comments were
-Sexy
-Smokin hot
-Zac, dnt worry id still kill her 4 u.
One thing I was happy about was that those pics weren't embarrassing. "Not to your expectations, were they babe?" Walt asks. I smile. "Truthfully, I was expecting it to come out much worse." I say as I go back to sit on the couch to eat my lunch as Walt shuts his laptop. May the lunch time begin.
