Or I was getting controlled by someone else’s soul. I didn’t understand how he could always bring out the revengeful side in me. But it wasn’t the time to think about it because Rohan’s eyes had started to fill with killing intent. Everything around us has turned quiet. So quiet that even I could hear his harsh breathing. A pin-drop silence ensued. I kept my eyes glued to his pale cheeks that were now stained with white vanilla ice cream. I would have laughed at it if I wasn’t the one who had rubbed his face with it.

I knew he would not leave me after what I have done. His face contorted into a distortion. His black eyes seemed to be lit up in the fire of fury. His tongue slowly licked his lips.

“I. Rohan.” Scared by his silence I dropped the tissue on the ground. I tried to move back but a slap landed on my face. I was pushed back with brutal force and my b*** landed on the ground with a thud. It hurt. I stayed quiet looking up from the ground. It was Naina Raichand, a new student. The crowd around us started murmuring but nobody decided to intervene. Not even one dared to intervene. My eyes took a moment to see everyone around me. And then settled on her

I really should have seen it coming, between the last week I came to know about the new student Naina Raichand’s secret obsession with Rohan. And from the day she arrived at school, she was around him a lot. At least more than a new student and an arrogant boy would hang out. But why would she slap me?

Her black eyes narrowed at me, her lean body straightened. She grinned at me, her darker skin than most Asians glowed under the sunlight and it made her look scary. My skin crawled in fear.  stepping near my pathetic body she stopped grinning. I wanted to stand up but my exhausted body didn’t support me and for the first time in my life, I understood the reason for eating. I had barely managed to exhale when a series of sharp kicks came down at my legs.

“How dare you touch my best friend from your filthy tissue.”

people because the next moment my head was tilted in such a way that I was looking into her black eyes. They weren’t particularly black, her eyes were brown from the center but had blackened towards the end of the periphery. An oval face with a straight nose and thick lips, she seemed beautiful. I must have been turning into a crazy girl that I was observing her, admiring her, instead of thinking of a way to get away from her. But then again, how the day turned out for me had made me numb to realization. Or to feel bad about it. From Jaan’s weird words to Mrs. Natasha seeing through me to Rohan turning from a caring guy

I never wanted to eat ice cream and he was the one who had forced me to follow him resulting in the situation I was in. Perhaps he was responsible,
