As A Movie

CHAPTER - 06

" Teacher isn't here till now. I am on time. " I muttered to myself as my breath cracked due to running. But only a few empty desks were left I heard teacher entering inside the class so without much thought I hurriedly sat on the nearest empty desk.

" You! " I gulped in shock as I saw the person I was sitting with. I wasn't just that I was surprised to see that person. Shock on his face was mirroring mine.

" Button eyes. " those words slipped from his mouth as he looked at me with amusement.

" It's Amber not button eyes Mr. Dumb a*s. " I replied and looked away in annoyance. I really always had a bad luck, it just got confirmed. Otherwise why out of all people I had to sit next to him. I didn't knew that he was in my class but since when he popped out of nowhere. Well not that I was interested but curious for sure because I had never seen him in my class before.

" Alright students open you text books. Page no. 128." Mr. Robert our English teacher ordered while yawning, as usual he was more bored than we were already.

I pulled out the book from my bag and opened the stated page while my eyes fell on Sam. No words were exchanged between Sam and I after that our oh - so - polite greeting. Nevertheless it was better that way because until I learned that even a simple word from Sam could tick me off. I indulged myself in what Mr. Robert was saying but after few minutes in was dozing on and off.

My nightmares had been nemesis to my sleep.

It wouldn't happen on regular basis or anything like that but these days it was happening quite frequently. No matter how hard I would try to sleep but these nightmares would always wake me up. At this rate dark circles weren't far. Gosh my pretty face. I sighed and tried to direct my attention back to the teacher.

" What should we do?" I heard a familiar voice, may be it was Hannah.

" Wake her lazy butt up. Of course." this time voice reached clearly to my ears and I was sure it was Emily this time.

My chair started to shake.

Earthquake ??!!

I opened my eyes only to find my crazy friends shaking my chair, well probably to wake me up. I stared at them lazily as I stretched my arms slowly. Darn it, I didn't know I slept in for so long. I took a sideways glance and with no doubt I found an amused Sam. Shoot me. My whole face turned red in embarrassment.

" I am hungry. Let's go grab something from canteen." I quickly stood up from the desk and started to drag my friends along with me.

" Sam wanna join us?" Hannah asked him in her fake cherry boy which she would always use with boys she would find handsome.

" No. I am busy." without saying anymore word he stood up, slung his bag on his shoulder and left classroom.

"Gosh he is total eye candy." it wasn't a question it was more like Hannah was stating a fact.

" Stop isn't that smart and who cares even if he is. With his attitude not even a single girl would want to date him. That arrogant jerk."

" You guys might not know but a lot of girls of our school are after him. And he is not arrogant. He comes of as a cold person but from inside he is soft. " at this I felt like puking, was she kidding. While Emily just laughed at Hannah was saying that.

" And how do you know that? " Emily voiced my question while we made our way towards canteen.

" Yeah how come you know so much about Sam? " I was really wondering about it because as far as I knew Hannah and Emily hadn't met Sam before so how could possibly Hannah know all those things about him.

" Do you guys remember A boy had saved me from car hiting me when we were in 10th grade. " Hannah asked, that memory was still fresh in my mind like it was yesterday. Both me and Emily were there with Hannah at that time. It was after school when we were hanging out.

Back at that time Hannah had gone to bring cold coffee for us while I and Hannah waited for her at the opposite side of the intersection. She waved her one free hand at us and started to approach us when suddenly a bike came from the other side in full speed. Horror had covered face of me and Emily we shouted her name and ran towards her but a car passed by us so we had to stop.

By the time we had reached to her, she was shoving dust off from her dress and there was a handkerchief wrapped around her palm of her left hand. That was when she had told us that a boy had pulled her aside and saved her from the bike but due to sudden pull both of them had lost balance so they fell down. Hannah had got a few scratches on her palm so he had covered it with his handkerchief.

But Emily and I were only able to see his back from a far when we reached to Hannah. For whole one week she kept on pestering us with the same story like how that boy saved her, how handsome he was and what not. And now to know that he was none other then Sam was shocking, who could have thought that stone hearted guy will take risk to save someone else.

" May be he was possessed by a ghost that time." I joked as we sat occupied a table after taking our food from canteen counter.

" So he was in the same class with us all along?" Emily asked while sipping on her juice. And if you think about it was weird that he had been in same class with us but we never saw his face even. That was impossible.

" No he was in different section until 10th grade. " that meant since the 11th grade began now he came to our section. That was why I was vaguely feeling like I had seen him. But I wasn't sure instead I felt like it was my misinterpretation.

" Guys, guys. Will you help me? " Hannah asked with sudden enthusiasm.

" With what?" I and Emily said in unison.

" I want to date Sam." what, she was kidding right. It was a prank. I almost choked on my food at this. She wanted to date that arrogant jerk out of all guys. She must have hit her head somewhere.

" I will." Emily anticipated with a giggle. Okay so was I the only one who was against this whole idea.

" Have you guys gone insane?! What do you even like about him?!" I looked at my friends as if they have gone nuts.

" You are overreacting Amber." Hannah interjected while eating her sandwich.

" Yeah, your first encounter wasn't oh - so - fabulous with him. He might be a nice guy. We can't judge we don't know a lots of things about him." and there you go, what Emily said was so correct that I couldn't argue back over it.

" Okay Mother Teresa. Then count me in too. " at this Emily glared at me to which I royally ignored. I would always tease Emily by addressing her as Mother Teresa whenever she would be right so I nonchalantly. While Hannah smiled ear to ear.

Ring!!

Ring!!

" Pick up your mobile girl it must be your sweet boyfriend." both Hannah and Emily teased me making my cheeks turn into a light shade of pink. When I glanced at the screen it was indeed Daniel.

" Hello." I spoke after accepting the call quickly.

" Hey Amber. Where are you? " Daniel asked me as soon as he heard my voice.

" I am in canteen. Having lunch with Emily and Hannah." I replied while my friend were giggling at me.

" Hey you brat. Did you forget us after she became you girlfriend." Hannah yelled while laughing so Daniel could hear her.

" It hasn't even been that long. We are your friends too. " Emily joined Hannah in teasing and both were laughing looking at my expression. Yeah it was correct, it hadn't been that long. It was the last day of 10th grade when Daniel had proposed me and it had only been a few days since 11th grade started.

" Tell them I didn't forgot those idiots. And will meet them soon." Daniel said from the other side of the line and I could hear faint sound of him giggle too.

" By the way I have a practice match after lunch wanna come?" which I agreed instantly and he asked me to bring Emily and Hannah along too. We quickly finished our food as lunch was about to get over.
