I threw my bag on the bed and headed downstairs, I switched on the TV and settled down in front of me hoping that maybe watching something was going to take my mind off everything that was happening back in school.

I couldn't understand myself at this point honestly, wasn't I the one who pushed him away? Wasn't I the one who wanted to maintain the distance, so now when it was happening, why wasn't I liking it?

There was no way I was going to let a bad boy affect me, maybe it was just because he was the first guy to give me his attention since I came here, with time I'd get used to him and me being strangers and maybe then I wouldn't feel this way.

I kept on staring at the TV screen but neither Damon Salvatore, nor Stefan Salvatore could take my mind off Arnav, I couldn't just stop thinking about him and it was terrible, because I dint want to, but I kept on.

I walked to the kitchen thinking about dinner, I hoped I could cook and maybe that would now take my mind of things, so I opened the fridge and looked for some veggies, I started chopping them not even knowing what I was actually going to cook, but this did take my mind off for a while that's until I started hearing some strange sounds outside the house.

I rushed towards the window and peeped outside but there was no one, even mom wasn't home yet, what if there were thieves around?

God! Why did I have such a terrible mind that always thought about negative stuff, why couldn't I for once think about something positive?

I headed back to the kitchen and continued with what I was doing again when I heard the sound of a car engine, at first I thought it might be the neighbors car but that was until I heard someone screaming.

I rushed back to the window and peeped outside, I could see a black Audi and a black Ferrari! Were this guys some sort of werewolves or what? Why did they always go everywhere together like in packs?

I rushed outside in a hurry just, I saw a car driving away and within a moment it was out of sight, I looked at the four boys who looked like they had just had a fight, Arnav was leaning on his Ferrari holding his wrist when my eyes fell on his hand, it was bleeding!

"Arnav!" I said in shock as I rushed towards him, his bleeding hand definitely meant that they had a fight, they all looked so messed up and terrible, Ree had a black eye, Aaron's leather jacket covered only his right side, Rohan was the only one who looked a bit okay.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him, my eyes still glued on his hand that wouldn't stop bleeding.

"Definitely not stalking you love." He said casually, but he made me flinch, he still wouldn't stop calling me Love. Was I the only one who realized that he dint call Stella the same way? He called her by her name, but I don't know why he addressed me as Love every time.

"You're hurt, come inside, I'll clean your wound and tie something on it." I looked at him, the moment I invited him inside my house, I saw a smile curving up on his lips but it lasted for a moment only, he shrugged and looked away from me.

"I'll pass on that." He said as he tried to walk away from me, I got hold of his hand and pulled him back, it was maybe the first time I was touching him, I remember him touching me the first day when had met, he was so angry, he held me by my shoulders, and then I had pushed him away but that touch was different that this one, it felt like an electric shock.

He turned to look at me, his face expressionless, I looked him into the eyes as confidently as I could.

"You know what it means to hold my hand like this Love?" He raised his eyebrow.

"What now? If I hold a bad boy's hand, are mine going to get chopped off? Are those some stupid bad boys' rules of yours?"

"It would mean that you actually care about me, what am I supposed to make out of this? Do you really care for me?" He stepped closer making me so nervous, he had asked a question whose answer I dint know myself, did I actually care?

"Plus you could get arrested if found helping us, we just had a terrible fight, I'm sure the police are on their way." Aaron tried to scare me.

"It's just humanity, I could do this for anyone, even a bad boy, now come on." I replied as I pulled him with me inside the house, I made him sit on the sofa and headed outside where the other three boys were.

"Now do you all need an invitation or what?"

They all looked at each other for a moment and then walked inside, I rushed upstairs to my room and got a first aid kit and then started dressing everyone's would, Rohan helped me by dressing Aaron's wounds while Ree just sat on the sofa staring at the TV screen, I got hold of Arnav's hand and started cleaning his wound, he dint even flinch, it was like he was used to this kind of wounds.

Obviously he was, he was the bad boy who picked up a fight with everyone and then ended up getting hurt himself.

"The Vampire Diaries, seriously?" he asked me as he looked at the TV screen.

"Oh come on, you have to admit that those guys are hot." I replied as I was almost done dressing his wound.

"So you watch it because the guys are hot?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Yes, and because the story is good too." I stood up and placed the first aid kit aside and I looked at them, they looked much better now.

"You have a cute house." Arnav said as he stood up and looked around, it was a big thing he found my house cute because from what I had imagined, the boy who drive a Ferrari definitely lived in some sort of a palace, where my tiny bit of house could fit maybe fifty times.

"We should get going." Rohan said as he stood up and headed towards the door, he gave Arnav a strange look and walked outside followed by Aaron and Ree.

Arnav turned to look at me, he took a few steps towards me but maintained a bit of distance, he looked at his hand that was covered in a bandage.

"Next time, don't do this, not even for me..." He said as he turned around and headed towards the door to leave.

"I told you, I would have done it for anyone else." He stopped and turned to look at me.

"I know, but do it for anyone else, not me, not us... Just, stay away from me." he walked outside after saying that, leaving me in a surprise, it was all weird.

Firstly he was the one who wanted a date with me, he's the one who doesn't stop calling me Love, he's the one who fights right outside my house and gets himself injured, so who is actually supposed to stay away? Him or me?

Whoever said that girls were difficult to understand, dint have to deal with men, yes girls were difficult to understand but men? They were impossible to understand.

After they left, I headed back to the kitchen and finished my cooking, there was no way I was going to waste my time thinking about what he had just said because there was no point, I wasn't going to understand a thing.

Mom arrived just when I was done cooking, we both had dinner together and she wouldn't stop asking me if I'd found a guy I was interested in yet, well the answer was still a no.

"Hey" Ryle settled down next to me in the class.

"Hey" I smiled back at him, the class was half full already, we were just waiting for the teacher to arrive so that the class would begin.

"Where's your friend?" he asked as he looked around the whole classroom.

"Uh which friend?" I pretended not know who he was asking about when I knew who it was actually, Ryle and his interested towards Stella was the first thing I noticed yesterday at lunch time when he had asked me about her.

"Stella." He shrugged.

"I don't know, we don't have all the classes together." I replied just when the door opened and Arnav walked in, he headed to the back of the class and sat in his usual spot, as soon as he was settled down, he started doing something on his phone, not even for once did he look at me, he was like a complete stranger once again.

"Stop staring at him like that, it would make me think you're interested in him." Ryle giggled when he noticed I was looking at Arnav, who still hadn't lifted his head from the phone.

"I am not interested but he's hot." I giggled and I turned to face the front once again.

"All the girls find him hot, lucky are those who get to date him, girls around here die for that chance." Ryle said.

"So dating here basically is like a looking for a job, if the employer's interested you get the job for a while and then you're sacked because the employer finds another employee better than you."

"That's the best theory I've ever heard." Ryle laughed out so loud, the whole class stared at him, of course apart from Arnav who was basically not interested about a teenage boy laughing randomly like a maniac.
