Chapter 1 : My world
Akira's POV~
I woke up with the sunlight falling on my face. I groaned in my sleep. I woke up hurriedly as today is there is an important class to attend.
After getting up, I went inside the bathroom to freshen up myself. After freshening up myself, I wore my school uniform.
I looked myself in the mirror. I see fat on my stomach, hip, thighs region. Yes. I am chubby and overweight, which makes me the target of all other students in the school to bully me.
Although I ignore them, sometimes I feel my heart is getting pierced because of their words.
The only best thing that happened in my life is my family and my best friend. They support me in all my struggles. I don't want to burden them, so I never shared problems with them.
I sighed, looking at myself. I am insecure about my body. Only if I was not fat, may there will be a prince charming who will come in my life.
"I don't think I have a right to dream such good things," I said to myself. I took my bag and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Oh, but I think I forgot to introduce myself. I am Akira Nanda, Daughter of AkashNanda and Samaira Nanda. Sister of Samiksh Nanda.
"Baby... Are you coming?," my mother called me.
"Yeah," I yelled.
Although my mom is an actress and my dad is a business man. They made sure we always had breakfast and dinner together.
I saw my brother coming out of his room. Although he is 2 years older than me, he always controls my life. I hate him for that. I just scoffed at him when he winked at me.
He really has guts to come in front of me when he beat up a guy who just accidentally spilled water on me.
Is that a joke? my subconscious asked me.
I mean, he bullied me when my friend is not there, but he doesn't have the right to beat up someone like this. Moreover, why is he keeping tabs on me?
We both reached the dining hall. I sat on my chair. All the breakfast is placed. I took some milk and cornflakes for me.
"Does it even fill your stomach?, "my brother asked.
"Yeah," I said while glaring at him, who brings this topic up in front of my parents again.
"Beta, eat as much as you want. I don't want my daughter hungry," Dad said. I smiled and nodded.
"Kids, there is an important work we need to take care of. So we are going to Italy for 6 months", My dad announced.
I was shocked hearing this. I saw my mom looking sad.
"It's okay, Dad," I said.
"Yes, Dad. I will look after her," my brother said.
"I can take care of myself," I said, glaring at him.
"You stop being childhish," he hissed.
"Okay, stop fighting. We are going to board the plane in the evening," Dad said.
"Yes, Aki. Listen to your brother. He always thinks good for you," Mom said.
"Okay," I mumbled.
I just got up from my chair. I saw my brother rushing towards me.
"Get into the car," he said.
"I will go on my own," I said.
"No way," he said.
"Arghhh!! Why do you always irritate me? " I asked him.
"You are getting irritated. I am not irritating you, " he said.
"I already told you that we will pretend as strangers in school," I said.
"That doesn't mean I will leave you alone," he said.
I sat in the car, not wanting to continue the argument. He smiled and drove the car.
It's not that I don't like him or he is not good to me. He is a famous boy in the school. He is friends with the most handsome boys in the school. Every girl giggles at his group. I just want to stay away from this mess.
They don't know me as Samiksh's sister. I don't want to make friends with anyone in school as they will befriend me as I am his sister.
I always wanted a true friend. That's how I got my best friend Harshali, whom I call Harshi.
Soon, we both reached the bus stop near school.
"Leave me here. I will go with Harshi, "I said.
"Until when you will continue this drama. What are you even scared of?"my brother asked. I kept mum.
He glared at me as I got off the car. After sitting for some time, I saw Harshi coming towards the bus stop with her scooty.
"Aki. Are you waiting for too long?" Harshi asked.
"No, Harshi," I said.
As I got on her bike, we both talked many things on her bike.
Soon we reached the school.
"Aki. You wait here. I will park this bike," she said. I nodded.
"Just 2 years more," I said to myself.
"What happened?" Harshi asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"Don't worry. I will protect you," she said. I smiled at her.
We both are walking to our classroom. I fell down, and my face directly got pasted on the floor.
I saw a girl who kept her leg and fell on the floor.
"Aki!!" Harshi shrieked.
"I am okay," I said.
I got up with the help of Harshi.
"What do you think of yourself?" Harshi asked.
I took my hand and stopped Harshi.
"Harshali, you better not meddle in this," the girl said while glaring at me.
Yeah. This has been a routine for me for 6 months. A gang who bullies me. Call me names. I didn't discuss all things with anyone. Harshali is the only one who knows everything.
She truly helps me. She stands up for me. She supports me, which helps me to survive in this world.
I just feel numb. I think I deserve to be hated.
I know Harshali is blabbering many things to me. She wants to murder her. I laughed at her innocence and concern.
"Aki Aki.. Are you listening to me?" Harshi asked. I nodded absent mindedly.
"Baby. Be confident. Don't make them bully you," Harshi said. I nodded.
We both went and sat in our class. I saw my brother passing by my class with his group. I saw everyone swooning over the 4 guys who are standing on the hallway.
I hear
He is so cute
He is hot
He is my type
Look at his hands
Look at his body
I felt nauseous hearing them. Harshi also feels disgusted by hearing their Sluttery voice.
"I don't know why they will come every day in the morning," Harshi hissed.
I felt guilty that I didn't tell her the important thing. I hid my identity from her as well. At first, I wanted to tell her, but later, I was scared I was selfish that I didn't want to lose my true friend, so I kept my silence.
I see many questions in her eyes that she wants to ask me, but she held back for me
"Aki. What do they see in this boys?" Harshi asked.
"You tell me, why do you hate them so much?," I asked.
