FAT BUT BE-YOU-TIFUL

chapter 4

Jack P.O.V (continued.. )

"YOU OKAY DUDE?" I asked Troy who looked quite frustrated since he saw Katie and Eva in the class.

"I JUST FREAKING HATE THOSE BITCHESS!!" He uttered.

"I understand but the best thing you can do is IGNORE them!" I replied, hoping he would calm down.

"No Jack! They are not going to get away that easily. I have been planning a revenge on them since days now

and the only person that can make it happen is YOU!" He said.

"Me? No No! Don’t you dare drag me into this stupid cat fight!” I said and held my hand in namaste.

"It’s cute how you think you have an option!" He pouted and pinched my nose like a child and started walking.

"Okay! What do you have in mind?"

"See! I know you have stopped all this but bro you once had been out with girls, right? In fact you had been out

with many girls! Plus, the best part is that both Eva and Katie are attracted to you."

"What Eva has to do with that?" I asked, slightly annoyed.

"Don't tell me you feel possessive about her. All I see is that you ignore her!" he raised his eyebrow at him.

"I don't feel anything for her. But I am just.. You know... curious. And honestly I don’t want to be anywhere near

her."

"Well, I found out that Eva was the one who had been misguiding Katie in all this. She was the one who

persuaded her to go with Drake, you know the guy she cheated on me with? Eva and Drake had a deal that if

they both sleep with him, Eva would become head cheerleader. Don’t ask me how, Drake has some influence.

But Katie is no less. She is not a child who can't make decisions for herself. And Eva is the same girl who

spread rumors about how violent I was with Katie! The only physical contact we both had were kisses, hugs

and little more. But I never hurt her physically. I have no idea why she did it but she is going to pay for it!"

I remember how hard of a phase was it for Troy when not only he went through break up but also was blamed

for physically hurting KATIE. Everyone was blaming him for something he never did. He also got violent threat

from some for hurting a girl. Once Katie showed up at school with fake bruises on her and somebody called his

parents. He had really bad time everywhere.

"Okay! I understand brother. Just tell me what am I supposed to do?"

"Not now Jack! I have been waiting for this since forever. We will have to wait little more."

My phone vibrated and I saw a message from Harry:

Jack! I just got message from Dexter. HE has been involved in a fight and he is badly injured. Some

kind hearted man had taken him to hospital and messaged me through his mobile. You please go to the

hospital and check him.

Dexter was my younger brother. He was just opposite to me. I was calm and he had his blood boiling inside

him all the time. Every other day he is dragged to hospital on account of violence and I am sick of paying his

hospital bills and taking him back only to come again the next day. No matter how many times Mom and I have

tried to make him realize that what he does is wrong. He never listens. Since dad left he had just stopped

caring.

I told troy about the message and promised him to be back till lunch. I wanted to be back till lunch. I wanted to

talk to her. I wanted to know her. At least her name.

I went to the hospital and inquired about my brother, the receptionist told me to go to second floor room no.

203. I went there as fast as I could. Meanwhile I also texted mom about what just happened. I asked the doctor

if my brother was fine and if I could take him home. Doctor gave me a list of some medicines and told me

about the doses that were supposed to be given to him. He was too weak, or probably ashamed, to say

anything. I also remained mum and took him to the house. Mom was worried but I consoled her and she

calmed down. I took my brother to his room since he was too weak to walk and made him lay down on his bed.

I looked at my watch and s**t! Lunch was about to start!! I hurried downstairs but mom asked me to get the

medicines before I drove off to college. I went to market and bought his medicines as fast as I was capable of

but when I entered college the lunch was already over.

THANKS TO MY USELESS BROTHER! He hardy does anything good for me but whenever I am about to do

something good for myself he always behaves as a hurdle.

I entered the hall and was about to move ahead to my next class when I heard people laughing and giggling on

the girl who was sitting near the stairs.

SITTING NEAR THE STAIRS? Stupid me! She must have tripped.

I went near her to offer my help but when she took my hand and turned her face towards me it was like the

universe helped me. My eyes met the same eyes I had been fixated on since the morning. And now that she

was standing so close to me, I could see deep in her eyes. What a play of colors and depth! I could watch that

art forever. There she was, holding my hands, blushing her cheeks crimson red. I heard everyone still laughing

at her and all I wanted to do was smash every face present in that hall. But I just came from hospital and then

didn't want to go to police station.

I saw her looking down at her feet and said “THANK YOU” in a very soft voice. I have never heard a voice so

sweet and so melodious before.

Was she blushing? Or was she embarrassed? I picked her books and handed over them to her.

With lot of courage I asked her if she was fine.

Without uttering another word, she rushed to the exit.

DAMN! DAMN! I couldn't even ask her name.

Without giving much thought I ran towards her. YEAH, RIGHT I AM A STALKER NOW.
