Half of my day was so busy I even spent a few minutes of my free time just running from one class to another, I dint have even one free period and Ryle was with me in almost all the classes and he wouldn't just stop asking me about Stella whom I hadn't seen today.

At lunch time I headed to the canteen to get something to eat, I was exhausted for the day and I hoped a little bit of food would help me. I settled down on a table in the corner as I looked around, I couldn't see Leena or Ryle or even Stella anywhere and I hated eating alone, I always needed some sort of company plus knowing that Arnav and his gang usually had their lunch here made me sort of nervous, I dint want to be alone.

A few minutes later, as expected I saw Arnav and his gang, Arnav and Aaron settled down on the table while Ree and Rohan headed to get the food, my eyes were stuck on him but his were stuck on his phone, since morning he looked so engrossed in his phone you would think he was planning someone's murder.

He lifted his head and his eyes met with mine but the next second he looked away completely ignoring me, I guess I had to get used to this, maybe he was right, maybe Leena and Ryle were also right, it was best to stay away from him.

I took a bite when Stella stopped in front of me, she had a huge smile on her face, no wonder Arnav was flirting with her, this girl was perfect, she looked absolutely gorgeous, her hair was perfect so was her dressing sense, I wouldn't blame Ryle for having a crush on her already.

"Is the seat taken?" She asked.

I nodded negatively, she settled down opposite me with her tray, she turned around to look at Arnav but I dint bother to look at him or her, like I said, I had to get used to so that's what I was doing.

Within the next few minutes, Ryle stopped at the table beaming with happiness when he saw me sited with Stella, he pulled out a chair and sat on my right side smiling at me.

"I was looking for you, remember we usually have lunch together?" Ryle said as he settled down.

"Yeah, I was just a bit hungrier today and I knew you'd find me eventually." I said.

"Hi Stella." He looked at her beaming with happiness, you know the kind of happiness a small kid would show when they get something they'd been crying for.

"Hi Ryle." Stella replied back and their conversation started, Ryle wouldn't believe that Stella knew his name, it was like something big for him, he was happy and a bit too over excited but I let them carry on with their conversation while I concentrated on my food.

Although I dint want to look at Arnav, I ended up looking at his table anyway and like before he was just engrossed on his phone, I stood up with my tray and looked at Ryle and Stella who were already enjoying each other's company.

"I guess I'll see you both in class then?" I asked as I looked at both of them.

"Sure, see you later." Stella smiled back while Ryle winked at me and I walked away heading towards the class, it was lunch time yet so I expected the class to be empty but it wasn't, Arnav was sited at the far end corner, his usual place but it was strange, when I left from the canteen he was still there so how did he reach here so fast?

Anyway I ignored him and settled down on my chair which was quite far from his, I pulled out a novel from my bag and started reading it but I couldn't concentrate, obviously not with Arnav being in the same room.

I turned around to look at him, he was busy writing something and I thought he might be finish some of his pending homework, but were bad boys supposed to worry about homework? Couldn't they just get away with everything?

I looked back at my book and continued reading, I was only five minutes into it when I heard the sound of a chair being pulled, I lifted my head from the book and saw him walking away, he passed by me but he dint say even a word, leave that he dint even look at me, he just walked out of the classroom leaving me all alone there.

I kept on staring at the door for a moment, honestly his behavior was quite strange, when I joined school he wouldn't stop looking at me and now he wouldn't looked at me at all.

The door opened and Leena walked in smiling happily, what was with everyone looking so happy today? Stella, Ryle and now Leena? It looked like I was the only one who had nothing interesting going on in her life.

"Hey, I was looking for you in the canteen, Ryle told me I'll find you here."

"Yeah, I just came to read a bit, anything important?"

"Yeah, I came to inform you that I wouldn't be coming home with you today, going out on a date from school so don't wait for me." She smiled excitedly as if it was the first time she was going on a date.

"Sure." I smiled back and she walked away, the bell rang and immediately other students started walking inside the class.

*****

I got into my car ready to go home, today I dint have to wait for anyone, I even wondered what I was going to do at home alone, mom was going to work till late tonight which meant I just had to sit and watch TV or finish my homework, I hadn't even made much friends that I could go out with anyone.

I switched on the engine and drove off, I had just exited the school gate when I noticed a white car behind me, it looked like a jaguar but I wasn't really sure, honestly people in this school came from rich families, some drove Ferrari's and Audi's while other drove jaguars and then I would look at my old tiny beetle and feel like I was the odd one out.

I brushed off the thoughts from my mind and turned to left and so did the car behind me, at first it wasn't fishy because I thought it was just someone from school and maybe they used the same route as mine but as I kept on driving and taking different turns, the car wouldn't just stop following me.

I dint even know why anyone would follow me all over a sudden, I was knew here I dint even know many people.

I stopped the car outside a restaurant and I noticed the white car behind me stopping too and that was the time I was a hundred percent sure that I was being followed.

I tried my best to get a view of the person who was driving it but I couldn't, the whole car was tinted and I was scared, there was no way I was driving home and someone was following me, plus I was going to be alone at home, what if they attacked me or something?

I rushed inside the restaurant thinking I'd order some take away for myself then go home maybe by that time, whoever had been following me would just leave, and I was right, when I walked out of the restaurant with my food, the car had disappeared.

I inhaled a deep breath and then sighed, I had been so terrified I dint even knew who I'd call for help but at least whoever was following me had gone, I got into the car and drove home but all the way, I kept on checking if someone was still following me but no one was.

I reached home and found the white car parked in my parking place, at that moment I was more than terrified, whoever that was following me even knew where I lived? This was terrible, really terrible!

I pulled out my phone and scrolled through the contacts wondering who I was going to call, I could call Leena but she was on a date and how was she even going to help me? I dint know who was in the car, what if it was someone really dangerous?

I couldn't think of anyone else to call at that time apart from Arnav, obviously he was a bad boy, he had a gang and they were always together, maybe if I called him for help he would actually come here to help me, they owed me that much at least after what I did for them last night dint they?

I dialed his number and pressed the phone close to my ears, I was trembling with fear, seriously this was way too creepy.

"I told you to stay away from me Love." He sounded angry, but even in his anger he wouldn't stop calling me love, really? Way to go bad boy!

"Please listen to me Arnav, I need your help." I said nervously, I was so scared I couldn't even talk well.

"Are you okay? Why do you sound so scared?" the tone of his voice changed from the angry one to the worried one in a matter of few seconds.

"There's someone following me, I don't know who it is but they've been following me from school, I stopped at a restaurant and the car disappeared so I drove home, but I can see the car here, I couldn't think of anyone who could help me but you, please do something, just help me please."

"Okay, calm down first I'm on my way to your place and listen to me very carefully, no matter what happens, don't get out of the car, lock all the doors and stay inside okay? Aaron take a turn towards Khushi's house." He ordered.

"Okay, but please hurry up." I begged, he disconnected the call immediately and all I could think of was that I heard him mention my name for the first time, although he dint call me that directly, he mentioned it and it sounded so damn special.

Wasn't I the craziest human being on earth? I mean who in such kind of a situation even thinks about something like this?

I saw the car reversing suddenly and I reversed mine a bit but it wouldn't stop coming behind and if I reversed my car I was going to hit one that was parked behind me and then I was going to be crashed between two cars.

I looked around wondering what I was supposed to do, Arnav had told me not to get out of the car but if I dint I was going to die, I looked around for a moment hoping I could call someone for help but the whole damn street was empty.

The car was coming closer and Arnav's words kept on ringing in my mind, now what was I supposed to do? Sit inside and get myself crashed between two cars or jump out and maybe face worse?

When the car was almost about to hit mine, I made my decision, I dint know what was going to happen but I wasn't going to die like this, no way!

I unlocked the door and jumped out of the car immediately and at the same moment the white car stopped moving, is stood up and looked at in nervously, it stopped but nobody came out of it, maybe it was best if a ran away, I could find a crowded place and they wouldn't get me.

I had just made my mind to run when I felt something really heavy at the back of my head, it was like someone had hit met with something, I touched my hair and I could feel some sort of thick liquid on my hand, I was already feeling dizzy, I looked at my hand and I could see blood, I fell down on my knees and after that, everything just when blank.
