Chapter 5-Extra Bouncy Ball
"Hey Destiny!"
"Hey!" I shrieked. "What are you guys doing?"
The moment I entered the cafeteria I was snagged by Robert and Aram, each one taking a hand and taking me to their table. I have to say the nerd is strong, no need to mention Aram's strength, six pack over there. It would be quite a scene to watch if only I wasn't the person being abducted.
"Taking you to lunch."
"I could walk with my own two legs fine. Besides I haven't got my lunch. Where are you dragging me?" I whisper yelled not wanting to create a scene and attract attention. Nevertheless, people turned silent and stared at me. I wonder if I somehow turned into an alien overnight. I should have checked in the mirror before coming to college.
"We already got it for you. What were you doing? We are waiting for you for a long time."
"Waiting for me? Why don't I like that idea?" I asked and soon I was seated at their regular table. Just then Aram's friend, the one who showed enthusiasm about me being questioned yesterday, arrived with lunch for me. They sat down too looking at me smiling brightly.
"No." I said.
"What? We never said anything?"
"Whatever it is that you want the answer is still no."
"But.."
"No." I said sternly crossing my hands.
"Please Destiny. You are sweet girl. Your session yesterday was very famous, see." He said sliding his phone and to my utter shock there was the video of yesterday's truth session.
"So many views, likes, comments and shares." Aram added. "Along with Robert you too will get famous."
"Along with a haters club." I said glaring. "They concluded that I hate them and started a club to which I am the president. Does this make any sense to you?" I stood up immediately. "And I want this video deleted immediately." I decided to find another table and eat peacefully or else these idiots would shatter whatever peace I still had left in my life. Just when I was about to take the plate in my hand and walk away Aram decided to stand.
"Standing would do good." He said standing and going a little far away.
"What?" I questioned confused and out of the corner of my I could see the entire cafeteria watching us. Don't they have their own business instead of watching us.
"Robert's new invention. Extra bouncy ball." Aram said showing the yellow greenish ball, not attractive in the least looking like a slime ball, in his hand which I didn't notice till now. "Catch." He said throwing it at me before I can realize it. The major drawback here. I suck at every game. Indoor or outdoor, no matter what! And catching that slime ball is not in my best interest. What if it melted in my hands which could be possible since it is an invention. That thought didn't settle well with me.
"Bloody hell. I am not good at catches!" I shouted but now that the ball is thrown, I can't turn back the time. I shook my head wide eyed at the ball approaching and decided to duck but in that mere seconds I realized that if I duck it would hit Kidou square in the face, who just passed by me to the next table behind. Just my luck! Wherever I go, they are there.
I don't know how but I successfully caught the ball. This is a record! I never caught a ball before and hence it calls for a celebration or so I thought but this ball was super duper elastic and bounced off from my hands. Yes, you heard right. The ball bounced from my hands with twice the speed it reached me. May be this is what he meant by 'extra bouncy'. After all I can't expect Robert to bring a normal ball and name it as his invention. But why should they decide to use 'extra bouncy ball' on a girl who can't even catch regular balls. Ugh! Screw them.
This extra bouncy ball went straight to someone's face with twice the speed and closed my wincing. It would definitely make him bleed. When I heard no shout of pain I opened my eyes to find the guy catch the ball perfectly just in front of his face. Good! He is not hurt! He moved his hand down giving me a view of his face with a perfect glare towards me. Great! I think someone cursed me! Did I offend someone so much that they got pissed with me and hired a witch to curse me.?That should be the case or else why would I witness both of them everywhere I go.
He narrowed his eyes intensifying his glare at me. I gulped and sat down immediately hoping against hope that he would leave me alone. After an hour of hell which in reality is no more than two minutes, chairs on either side of me were dragged out and I could someone slid in and I slowly lifted my head to find the two populars are seated on either side of me. One glaring at me and other smiling amused at me.
"Sorry! That was an accident." I squeaked.
"Yes, I know." Mr.Arrogant a.k.a I-always-glare said. Good that you understand. "Everything you do is an accident with no motives behind." I take my statement back. He said a little sarcastically, okay more sarcastically and arrogant to my liking. Crub your anger. What you did yesterday was wrong to them. You don't have the right to judge them. You don't anything about them.
"There was no motive behind calling me ass-hole yesterday, getting the video uploaded and gaining the attention of everyone in the college along with starting a haters club, not to mention trying to hit me with the ball either as your revenge or one one of your get popular ideas or both. No intentions behind." He said crossing his hands across his chest and glaring harder at me if that was possible. If looks could kill I would be six foot, no hundred foot under the ground.
"I am really, really sorry. It was not my intention to drag you and make myself popular. Aram wanted to make Robert's inventions well known and he dragged me in this. Even this extra bouncy ball," I said pointing to the slime in his hand, "I declined to take part in his make known strategy and stood up but then he threw the ball and if I didn't catch it would have landed square on his face and hence I caught it but it is super bouncy and slipped from hand and went off in your direction. I didn't start any haters club. They decided on their own that I hate you people and made me the leader and went off before I could even open my mouth. I am really sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said yesterday. I don't know you people or your personalities, just a single encounter but when they asked me about my opinion I blurted it out. I should have said I can't tell about some person's character with a single encounter but my stupid mouth went on, in fact if I knew that you were in our college before I would have never uttered a single word to either of you, may be." I completed in one breathe and I realized I made a fool out of myself babbling things.
"Need water?" Kidou offered a glass with a smirk teasingly. I smiled sheepishly at him and drank the water partly because I didn't want to offend him after yesterday and partly because I was really thirsty after my long speech.
"So you are saying you no longer find us offensive because you now know who we are."
"I still don't know you?" I supplied sheepishly. "I am saying sorry for calling you arrogant and him as pervert in short." I mumbled.
"That is what I am saying." He said with increased irritation. "Knowing how influential we are you came to the conclusion we are good." Will I get into trouble if I strangle him now and here?
"No. I am saying I don't know about you both."
"You still think I am arrogant?" He asked his green eyes challenging me and staring at me as if reading my soul.
My mind immediately screamed a big yes! I gave a big sheepish smile. He raised his eyebrow.
"You are still rude to me." I said in a low voice and people in the table started laughing, especially Kidou beside me and the ever persistent I-always-glare glared at me still.
"You expect me to sweet talk to you?" He asked furious this time. With each second he growing more furious and irritated.
"May be polite?" I offered still in a low voice knowing well that I am digging my own grave. Bye mom! Bye dad! I love you very much. Take care of yourselves. Your daughter is not going to survive this lunch period.People who started recovering again burst into a fit of laughter. Glad I could provide entertainment to the people around me before I die. I could see him clench his fists. Hopefully he is bound to the rule of not hitting girls. I have to say all the while his face has no expression, just a blank poker one except his glaring eyes. If you think it is okay then you are hell wrong. He looks like the devil incarnation ready to burn you into ashes with a single look.
"Look I am really sorry that thinking happened like this in the past two days but I don't have any ill intention or a grudge against you. So forgive and forget? I will never look in your direction again or utter a single word about you." I offered hopefully trying to escape my potential death. He stared at me and I felt uncomfortable with his look. I can't make out anything from hi poker face. I really wish I have telepathic powers like that guy from X-Men so I could read his mind.
After a long silence and him staring /glaring at me he started "Are you saying that just a sorry would be enough?"
"It is not?" I questioned back.
"Not enough." He said.
"What do you want me to do then? I am saying that I won't interfere in your life ever again." I tried again.
"Become my slave."
"Huh?" I asked mortified. What does he mean by slave? We are not in the medieval period.
"Serve me for a month as a compensation."
"What do you mean by 'serve'?"
"You do what I say. Simple as that." Simple as that? " And it starts now. Go and bring me lunch. Do as I say for a month or get ready for Fame-defilation case. I think the video you uploaded and all the people who heard you are enough evidence." With that said he left leaving me gaping at the empty space he previously occupied trying to comprehend what really happened. Did the devil just really order me to be his slave?
"Fame defilation case?"
"Time to move. Come on. Let us get the lunch." Kidou said.
"What?" I asked him still dumbfounded.
He raised his hands. "You need not bring me lunch or be my slave. I won't file any case against you. " What the hell does he mean by case? Is it even that big of a matter? "Like you said forgive and forget but don't forget me." He said. "Come on, you have to bring him lunch remember. You can't sit there all day long."
"You are not going to oppose me being slave."
"No, it's interesting." Kidou replied.
Again my mouth was wide open. "How come me being a slave is interesting?" I turned to look at Aram and Robert. "And you guys are not gonna oppose. They shrugged. "It's interesting."
"What the hell is interesting? How can you let me be that jerk's slave? Why not try reasoning with him that he is unreasonable.
"Better be careful. If he hears you calling him jerk he might make it two months."
"I heard and it is going o be three months, not two. She insulted me thrice and she will learn her lesson." Mr.Arrogant replied from nowhere.
"Three months?" That ass-hole. I said inside afraid he would make it six months this time.
"Wow, sure things turned out unexpected." Aram said and I had half my mind made up to smack. Whose fault is it that I ended up his slave? I grudgingly stood up and followed Kidou before I could anymore damage. But seriously fame defilation case? What did he lose by that truth session video. He just got a haters club, that's all right? Okay, getting haters club may not be the best of things but he need not make me his slave for three months After all it was unintentional.
