Next day when I arrived at school, everyone looked at me like I was from a zoo, I dint know why they looked at me like that though, maybe they all knew that I was kidnapped or something.

I headed straight to my class as standing in the hallway was terrible, everyone would just look at me and it was awkward.

The class was empty as usual so I settled down on my desk and got a book to read, I hoped I was going to see Arnav, it had been just a day or let's say just a night that I was away from him but it looked like it had been ages since I last saw him.

Students started walking in the class one by one and soon the class was full, the teacher also came and the classes began but Arnav was nowhere to be seen.

Ryle and Stella walked in while the teacher was teaching so as a punishment of coming to class late, they both were told to kneel down and they seemed pretty happy about that.

I couldn't wait to talk to Stella, I wondered if we still were friends or something because Arnav had told me that Stella befriended me because he asked her to be around me, I dint want to lose her as a friend but I dint want to force my friendship upon her.

I kept on looking at them as the both of them were busy arguing over something and then all over a sudden she looked at me, she smiled brightly seeing me there and maybe that was enough to tell me that we still were friends.

I smiled back at her and concentrated in the class, yet waiting for Arnav to come which actually dint happen.

After class, I joined Ryle and Stella as we headed to out other class that was to start in the next ten minutes, as we walked by the hallway, I kept on looking around hoping to see Arnav or anyone from his gang but I could see any of them.

"Hello cousin, lost much?" Leena asked as she came from nowhere and stopped in front of me.

"Had a lot of stuff going on." I shrugged.

"Is that a lot of stuff called Arnav? Because rumor has it that you both are dating." Leena giggled.

I turned to look at Ryle wondering if he was the one who told Leena about it but the way he looked at me, it clearly meant that he dint tell her a thing, so if Ryle or Stella dint, who did?

Because Apart from Arnav, me and his family, only Stella and Ryle knew about us dating, plus it had just happened and the rumors were out already.

No wonder everyone was staring at me like that when I came to school today.

"It's true isn't it?" Leena looked at me like I had committed some sort of a crime, well technically, dating a bad boy was kind of a crime.

"I don't want lectures from you about dating him, I've had some already." I said as I looked at Ryle and remembered what he had told me.

"It's your love life Khushi, you get to choose who you can date, just don't come to me crying when you find him with another girl, Arnav Raizada is a bad boy and a play boy, he doesn't date girls, he just takes them to bed." Leena said as she walked away sounding completely disappointed.

"Does anyone else have anything more to say regarding Arnav?" I asked angrily.

"Yes I do, you won't find anyone who can love you as much as he does and I think that has to be enough right?" Stella smiled at me.

I nodded positively as I pulled her into a hug, at least there was someone who understood me.

*****

At lunch time, I headed to the canteen and settled down at the usual place where I used to sit with Ryle, I looked at the table where Arnav and his friends used to sit but it was empty today.

I got my phone and decided to call him, I was done waiting for him, I was getting worried now hoping all was well, or were the bad boys up to something?

I dialed his number and waited for him to receive the call and just then Stella and Ryle joined me.

"Have you ordered anything yet?" Ryle asked to which I nodded negatively, he stood up and headed to the counter to get us food as I looked at my phone angrily.

First he doesn't show up at school and now he's also ignoring me!

"Do you by any chance have an idea where Arnav might be?" I asked Stella.

"No, I haven't talked to him since you got kidnapped... is everything okay though?" she looked at me worriedly.

"I don't know, he's not receiving my calls, he dint come to school and his friends are not around also so I was wondering what might have happened."

"You don't have to worry about that, they keep on disappearing from school every now and then, I'm sure he's busy somewhere and he would call you as soon as he gets free, so stop worrying and cheer up." Stella smiled at me.

Ryle walked back to us after he had placed the order, he joined us as him and Stella both got busy romancing and I was stuck there feeling like a third wheel plus I missed Arnav so much, I hoped he would call me.

Once our food came, I decided to eat in a hurry so I could get back to class as soon as possible, so that I would leave this two love birds alone.

I was concentrating on my food when a girl came from nowhere and stood in front of me, she stared at me in a manner that made me feel uncomfortable.

She was pretty but she was pretty weird at the same time, and the way she was looking at me, it was like I had snatched her boyfriend away.

"Will you stop staring at me like that? It's creepy." I said to her.

"Does he let you sleep on the same bed with him?"

"Excuse me." I stood up feeling like I could slap her, I mean who the hell was she and why was she even asking me such questions.

"I know you and Arnav are together, the news spread all around the school like fire so I just came to see what you have that I lacked, why he seems so intrigued by you." She looked at me bitterly.

"What are you trying to say?"

"You know he took me to different hotel rooms many times, but he would never take me home, as soon as we were done, he would drop me home and he would go home, he would never sleep with me... when I told him I loved him, he laughed at my face I felt like punching him so hard but how could I, I loved him."

I looked at her in surprise, honestly I dint even know why she was telling me all this, I already knew about that side of Arnav, and the only reason why I accepted his past was because he never lied to any of those girls, he was always clear about what he wanted from them and if they agreed, it was their fault.

"Excuse me." I said as I walked past her and headed straight to class, I had already been worrying about Arnav, I dint need any creepy girl coming to me suddenly and freaking the hell out of me, I had had enough for today!

*****

At the end of the day, I headed back home and crashed on the sofa watching the final season of the vampire diaries, but I really couldn't concentrate much as my mind was still stuck wondering where Arnav might be.

The entire day had passed and he was nowhere to be seen, not even at school, he wouldn't receive my calls plus he wouldn't even call me back.

I picked up my phone debating whether I should call him again or not, obviously I dint want to be the clingy girlfriend but I was worried.

After debating with myself for what seemed like forever, I finally dialed his number once again and pressed the phone close to my ear hoping he would receive my call this time.

I tried once, twice, and even thrice but he wouldn't just receive my calls, and as much as this was worrying me, it was also giving me strange thoughts.

I just hoped that he was actually busy and not stuck in some problem or he wasn't ignoring me on purpose.
