Chapter 4 - *You have to just Unthink them *

-*-*-*-

Scar's POV.

What the hell!

Now I have to go on this stupid date with Taylor. I mean.....seriously! I have never gone on a date before nor am I a girl whom you would take on one!!!

I have to try hard to be in my best behavior and not make a fool out of myself... I thought as I threw myself on the edge of my bed.

I then dragged myself up higher till my head reached my pillow and laid my head on it. A smile automatically formed on my lips when I looked at the assignment that I placed near the bed lamp.

Today, I did something that I've never done in my entire life: I kissed!

I really felt very awkward and very uncomfortable when Eva started teasing me and Taylor for that embarrassing moment.

But that wasn't the case with Stan. Though it was accidental, I was really very happy that my first kiss was with Stan. My cheeks got heated as I played the scene in my head. I really loved it.

But Stan did not feel the same...

He doesn't consider me as a girl at all. In fact, he thinks of the kiss as gay. But whatever, I love him so much to complain.

Stan's POV

I soon reached home and parked my car in the garage. I then smilingly went inside my home into the living room to see my mom sitting on the couch tired. She smiled as soon as she saw me.

"I guess something good happened. Let me guess...It has something to do with Scar, am I right?" She asked.

"How do you know?" I asked. How did she know that Scar was the reason for my smile?

"Dear, all your happiness always has something to do with Scarlet." She said in a obvious tone.

That got me thinking for a moment and I replied after, "Well...that's a fact. Okay, now let me tell you something unbelievable." I started with full of enthusiasm. "Your son actually completed an entirely impossible calculus assignment for Scar."

"I am sure that you wouldn't have done if it wasn't for Scarlet. I know how important she is to you..." I accepted the reality with a nod and a smile.

"I am worried how your life would be when she will be gone..." Said my mom with a worried face.

She will be gone?

"Why will she be gone?" I asked confused.

"Why wouldn't she go? Won't she get busy with a family of her own at some point?" Replied my mom with her own question.

"You mean she will get married?" I asked and got a nod as a response.

Hahaha!

It is impossible to even imagine her with a husband and children. I thought as i went for my room to get changed into my nightwear.

I came back to see my mom still sitting on the couch. She looked stressed.

"Is there a problem, mom?" I asked worried.

"Yes, dear. Keeping aside the initial idea of opening our new branch elsewhere, I'm worried of the present profits we'd make. What is the point of opening a new branch if our current one goes unstable ." She said in a low voice.

"I don't get what your trying to say Mom! If you are thinking about our goal, I am cent percent sure - We will open newer branches Mom! Don't worry," I tried assuring her.

"When I went to check on our restaurant today, I found out that a new restaurant has opened in the same street only that - It is bigger and has better infrastructure than ours. I fear it's competition will affect our business..." She said worried.

"Your dad will be more tensed if he hears this. I am more worried for him." She finished. My parents, even after so many years of their marriage, still love each other so much.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll take up the responsibility of it." I said, not wanting to see her stressed.

"It's okay, dear. You don't tense yourself in this. I'll-" I interrupted her.

"No, mom. I am old enough to take care of both business and studies at the same time. I can surely help you, Mom." I said, reassuring her.

"But-"

"No buts. If I say that I can take care of this, then I can." I said in a stern voice.

"Thank you, dear. I just don't want your studies to get affected because of this. Moreover, right now your studies is more important as your entire future depends on it," She said concerned.

"Don't worry yourself, mom. This won't affect my studies. You just do me a favor and don't tell dad anything about this."

She then hugged me tight. "I cant believe my son is all grown up now." She said as pulled from me. I wiped a tear that rolled down her cheeks and smiled.

Just then, the telephone rang. My mom received the call and passed it to me after hearing the person from the other end with a smile.

"Hello!" I said into the phone.

"Hey, bud! How are you?" Said a familiar voice that I haven't heard for a while.

"Hey, Kenny! Everything's fine here. How are you and how's Stacy and the trip? When are you guys returning? Oh and the most important question: Are you guys under control?" I teased.

Kenny is my best bud obviously apart from Scar. We make a famous Trio in the college called as -The Three Wise Men. Right now he is with his girlfriend Stacy and those love birds have gone on a trip. I wonder what they are doing???.

"Jerk!" He said, making me laugh. "Stacy is good and the trip's too. Now to answer your question, We're returning this weekend. I called you to inform this." As he said this, I heard Stacy's cheerful voice in the background, calling him.

"Okay. I have to go now. Stacy is calling, Bye" He said and hung up before I could tease him again with Stacy.

I turned to see Mom already gone to her room and so I turned to leave for mine.

I couldn't sleep. I kept tossing and turning. I started talking to myself, wondering how embarrassing it would be for Scar because of that accidental kiss. I don't know why but I didn't feel that kiss awkward at all. Though I teased her about it, I only said that to free her from feeling embarrassed. In reality, I felt different. I actually felt anything but embarrassed and awkward.
I guess that is because of these recent weird thoughts that I'm getting of Scar. Like she looking beautiful & blushing like a girl. Stan! What has gotten into you? You have to just Unthink them, I slapped myself.

It would be illegal in my terms to think of Scar as a girl or should I say girlfriend. But she looked so pure, so adorable when she blushed.

What the hell am I thinking again?

How can I even think like that about Scar? I shushed myself from the stupid thoughts and pulled the blanket over my head. Though I wanted to sleep, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about the kiss. I kept smiling thinking about it until sleep took over me at sometime in the middle of the night.

Scarlet's POV.

I woke up with excitement. I immediately jumped out of the bed, took a shower and got dressed. I wore a white T-shirt with dark blue Suspender Jeans. I tied my short hair in a ponytail and went out to check on Eva who was in the bathroom, taking her shower. I decided to cook the breakfast and went to the kitchen to make some fish and chips, which is the normal breakfast around here.

The only thing I know to cook is fish and chips, omelette and can bake a cake for dessert. other than that, nothing else. It was good that mom taught these to me. She taught it to keep my little brother and me from starving ourselves when she wasn't around.

When I was done with the chips, I put them in a bowl and placed it on the dining table.

I decided to call Taylor for breakfast and went to the guest room and entered it without knocking, only to see him half naked. He was only wearing a towel around his waist, revealing his torso toned with abs. He looked so attractive with his muscles stiffening with movement. He stared at me shocked while I talked and called him for the breakfast with a blank expression.

Oh god!!! I should have at least knocked the door before entering. Not that it matters but still...it was embarrassing. Thanks to my emotional self confidence, I was able to hide my embarrassment and keep up my blank face, proving myself to be a tomboy, which I believe, I am.

I entered the kitchen and was surprised to see it clean when I clearly remember that I did not clean it. I then noticed Eva standing near the fridge and thanked her for cleaning the kitchen. I was happy that some time was saved so that we can go to college early.

I was also happy that Eva was ready already in a LBD with a pair of black ballet flats and a long trench coat hanging in her arms. She looked beautiful. Thank god! She was done with her makeup!

Taylor then entered the kitchen fully dressed. A grin formed on his face on seeing the breakfast on the table.

"Wow! It's my favorite dish today! Looks delicious, Eva!" He said as he took a seat to eat.

"The credit is for Scar. She made it!" Eva replied and smiled at me.

"Really Scarlet?! I never thought you can cook!!" He said, making me roll my eyes. We then began to eat.

Throughout the breakfast, Taylor kept on praising me for the food saying that it was delicious and stuff. He was praising me so much that I began to doubt whether he was really praising me or was making fun of me.

Taylor and I ate the chips with the ketchup and the dip which I made while Eva, being the weirdo she was, ate the potato wedges with chocolate sauce!

Ewww! Seriously...what kind of person eats fish and chips with chocolate sauce?

I kept my thoughts aside and left the dining table to get my bag. Taylor was teasing her while I was laughing on hearing his comments. Me and Eva then left for college. Taylor stayed back with an extra set of keys. He did not get an admission in college yet and wanted to checkout some of them. He will get soon because of his good grades, though. Our college was obviously in his list as it was the second best in Auckland.

Stan's POV

I kept waiting for Scar and Eva in the usual area, which is outside the gymnasium. The girls finally arrived after making me wait for fifteen minutes. Scar handed a box to me, which I opened to see fish and chips.

"Did you make it?" I asked, though I knew the answer. The only things that she could cook well was fish and chips, omelette, and a normal cake for dessert.

"Yup." She said popping the 'p' and smiled.

"Thanks dude." I said as I ate them.

"You made my day..." I teased after I finished the delicious food, making her roll her eyes. We then left for the class taken by the dreadful professor, Math Sir.

The class indulged into a continuous chatter until the professor came, when the class fell into silence. But being the crazy people we were, Scar and I did not notice the silence and continued speaking loudly until the professor cleared his throat out loud, making us feel embarrassed. We became silent after a 'sorry'.
To be frank, I felt anything but sorry and me apologizing was only a spur of the moment.

"Ms. Brown, I believe your assignment was due today. Have you completed it?" He asked after a glare.

Scar nodded with an 'Yes, Sir' and went forward to submit the assignment. If I were in her place, I would have just thrown it on his face, not caring about the consequences. For some reason, I hated the professor to the core.

The professor scanned the papers after Scar handed them to him. "It's a little untidy yet, completed. You may go." He dismissed my best friend rudely. Can't he at least say a 'Good'?

Stingy man! I Thought as Scar came back and sat on her place.

We then spent the whole hour in a boring class of algebra. We almost rushed out as soon as the class was over.
