IT SMELLS LIKE WRONG

#SIX

When She woke up it was already 10 past 5. She remembered Sauron telling her to reach at 7 in morning and not to be late. She jogged to her bathroom .

She was making big Curls in her hair , applying lip gloss , a thin line of eyeliner with a very light blush to her cheeks , she reached for the wardrobe and was picking her dress for the day . She saw a black miniskirt and a white v-neck top with written on it - ' wix'. She didn't wanted to look overdone or understated.

She picked a perfect black low heel stripped scandles .

It was already 45 past 6 , she gave a quick glance at the mirror ...

you can do it !

But something pops in her mind.. she hasn't called her mom and dad yet or her friends . Yesterday , when she went to bed that instant she fell asleep .She wanted to call them that moment but her wrist watch didn't let her do that... It was showing 50 past 6.

She flew open the door and jogged down the stairs ...at the end of the staircase , she saw some shadow . She couldn't make who it was but she didn't care she has to reach dining hall in time.

She jogged past that shadow , for a few seconds she was still running but after that..? She was now running on the same spot something was holding her back

She turned and saw Sauron . She gave out a sign of relief.

"W-what . Are. You . Doing. h-here?" Her words came in a short gaps. She bent down, her hands were on her knees and she was breathing heavily.

"I was waiting for you..I thought it'll be better if we go together"

She felt a chill down her spine .

He was waiting for me?

"We only have 5 more minutes before breakfast starts , come on !. You can do it !" He encouraged her to run again.

She remembered telling herself in the mirror that she can do it .She stood straight and said , " ready . Set. Go ! "

They both ran ..as fast as they could...

They finally made it before 2 min were left in 7.

" We did it !" He raised his hand to do a hi-five . She joyfully clapped her hand with his.

When they entered the hall .. everyone was staring at them . She felt a bit uneasy to move further in the hall and to take any empty seat. She didn't know why everyone keeps staring at her and gossiping. Were they picking on her?

She found an empty seat in the corner of the 2nd table . It was then she noticed Sauron was sitting next to her seat . She somehow felt relieved that she has a friend around her who is helping her in everything and who is extremely nice to her unlike others.

"Hey , everyone is talking about you that you and Derek are together. Is it true ?"

He whispered in her ears.

She was surprised to her that.

Who the hell is Derek ? She has never been together with anyone before ! Is this is why everyone is staring at her including gossiping? but I just got here !

"If they all are thinking this then I'm sorry to disappoint all of them because I don't know who the hell is Derek ?"

And this was not a whisper instead It was more clear and loud enough for everyone sitting around her to hear .

She infact did it on purpose .

She didn't wanted anyone to pick on her that easily . She just got here and has started to cause trouble. Anyway , Alex was a trouble .

Someone sitting across the table from Alex said,

" Hi ! I'm Kethrina . I live next door to yours. "

She had shoulder length straight light brown hair . She was pretty enough to be friends with anyone .

" Hey, You can call me Alex and I'm new here" she replied.

" Nice to meet you Alex . Anyway you are quite famous here ."

" Why is it so ?" She hesitated.

" Everyone is talking about you and Derek . Don't you know?" She said frequently.

" Who is Derek ?"

" The one you met outside of the gate ...many girls want to be with him but he is never really interested in anyone but suddenly you appeared and then he was like interested in you , it is said that he has a thing for you."

Her heart was going to explode but tried to calm herself down...

" Wheather he is interested in me or not I don't care because he is a arrogant and spoiled kid. Who wants to be with him! "

......

After breakfast , Sauron went with his other friend group and Alex was left with Kethrina who was telling her more about this school.

Derek topic ?... It was already over when Alex rejected him and then and there the gossips stopped .

She was relieved to make them stop. She told herself never to get involved with that guy which can make her pay that badly.

Kethrina and Alex were now good friends who can trust each other.Alex had told her about her friends in other city - Lucus and Miranda .

In no time , they were like sharing some of their secrets which they have never ever told anyone..they were best friends now.

Alex was glad to have Kethrina and Sauron by her side . She had finally found someone who she can see through . At first , she was lonely but now she had her roommate and a helper.

She was extremely happy...but her happiness didn't remain for a long time though.

........

It was 9 in the morning when she had some of her own time except studies. She firstly wanted to call her mum and wanted to ask her about her lies which has broken her heart like a mirror and now that can never be replaced.

She told Kethrina that she will meet her in English class as it was one of the common subject she had with her...

Later when she dashed into her room...

What the jerk he is !!!

" Hey you ! What are you doing in MY room??" She shouted that him

It was that arrogant boy from before who already have caused her tons of trouble . She can't afford to have him anywhere around her..and this time it was enough!

He was standing in the middle of her room with some of the bath towels in his hand . He turned around to face her ..

" Can't you see I'm the in-charge of changing everyone's bath towels from old to new ..." He said it confidentially and without any hesitation in his voice.

What a confident jerk !? How can he -..

" I'm warning you ...to never enter my room without my permission...I must report you to head mistress. " She said it with pointing at him.

She turned to leave . She wanted to tell about him to the principle as soon as possible for his behaviour. She wanted to make him pay for whatever he has done to her in past and now that..he entered her room without any permission..she had enough this time !.

Without her knowing , He was so fast that she didn't even realise that he was now blocking her in her way . His both hand were on the wall and unfortunately she was in the middle of his hands . They were facing each other when he said ,

" I don't know why you have a problem with me . What did I do wrong to you ? " He blunted out.

" I'm warning you to let me go ! This instant !... " She struggled to move but failed. He was unbelievably strong and she was surprised to see that.

" Not so soon ..first tell me what did I do wrong? ". He then said.

" You want to ask me what you did wrong..are you kidding me!? " She was pissed off.

He nodded with serious concern in his eyes.

"Then let me tell you mister ..from the beginning you were a jerk . Now you ask me what you did wrong ! ...I can answer that for you . Firstly, you bumped into me outside the gate and I don't know why now they all see me as their enemy . They all give me looks and I'm the current topic of this school . All thanks to you! And now you enter my room without my concern ? Let me put it in this way , What exactly do you want from me !? " She blunted all her heart out at him.

He was shocked and stood like a stone there...then he finally came back to his senses and said " From the beginning , I just wanted to have a chat with you , I had no intention of making a joke out of you and falling on you.. that time was just an accident And let me ask you this , do you really care what others think about you- "

His face was so close to her that she forgot to breath...she felt like her heart was going to explode that instant.

" Yes , I do care ! . You better back off otherwise I'm gonna tell all this to headmistress now . I just want to have a simple and peaceful life here so please don't get involved with me. "She replied.

" Okay fine ! Tell her what you want to tell . Tell her everything you know but - "

" But what? You are gonna stay in my room now ? . I said back off already ! "

She said .

......

He ducked his head down to show disbelief....

and then finally said , " listen , I'm sorry. It's my fault for coming into your room like this. I should have taken your permission first. I'm sorry. okay ? " He removed his hands from her sides and said , " if you want to tell her then go ahead I won't stop you from anything . "

He left in disappointment and closed the door from behind him.

She was the one to now stand there as a stone . She slipped down with her back to the wall on the floor , folding her arms around her and cried and cried.....

She was so scared just by thinking about him arguing with her in such a horrible way.

Kethrina was in her own room at that time which was just next door to hers..

she heard her crying.....

and hurriedly dashed into her room and flew open the door.....

"O my god Alex ! What in the world happened ? "

.....
