HIS PRESENCE AROUND HER
2237 Words
ETHAN
I walked down the stairs and bended down to Sara. She looked shocked and at the time she was burning with anger. I can see that in her eyes.
" Headgirl, I told you like a million times. Stop interfering in my business...... otherwise you saw what has happened with you just now. Unless, you like getting hurt and also humiliated then please continue doing whatever you were doing. Or you can stop doing your job if you don't want to fall like this and get hurt."
" My mom taught me ..... how to stand up on my own if I fall down.So you don't have to give me your advice. And whatever you just did ...... by making me trip. It only showed what you've learnt from your experiences in your life."
" Ahhhhh !!! Headgirl ! Headgirl ! Why you are forcing me to torture you ? Look ! I'm speaking for your good only. I am warning you. Don't stop me ! Otherwise I have to stop you by doing such exciting things to you. Now , you might wonder ! What exciting things ? Well , I'm gonna continue making you fall like this. It would be fun for me but only PAIN for you."
I stood up and started going upstairs. When I heard a familiar voice. " SARA !"
KAI
I was going to library to look for Sara but rather found her on the ground. She looked hurt and was looking upstairs.
" SARA !"
she looked towards me " Kai ?"
I went to her and helped her get up.
" Ouch !" She said in pain.
I was holding her elbow and understood she was hurt.
" Are you okay ? Did you got hurt ?"
" I don't know. It pains near my elbow."
" Let's go to Medical." I said wrapping my arm around her but then I saw Ethan standing on the stairs and watching us.
I said " Sara , How many times did I told you ? Don't linger around the people who have low standards. They are bad for you."
" What did you say ? Low standards ? Don't you think you're describing yourself." Said Ethan annoyingly.
" Uh ? You talking to me ? Sorry , I didn't heard what you said. I was talking to Sara so I didn't paid attention to you. Let's go." I replied taking Sara downstairs to the Medical.
" Remember this, Headgirl. The person that is taking you to medical is more dangerous than me. Atleast I warn you before harming you. That person will not give you any warning and will stab you in the back." Said Ethan.
Sara stopped as soon as Ethan said this. She looked towards him and then towards me. Ethan went upstairs while I took Sara to the Medical.
SARA
Ethan's words really lingered in my mind. It was not like I don't trust Kai but I know he's a good guy. But you can never tell if the person is good or bad from outside. This was the first time I saw Kai really angry at someone. It looked like he was controlling himself from creating a scene but what is more astonishing....... is that Ethan JUST back answered Kai. I know Ethan can do anything if he wanted to do to hurt Kai ..... but he chose to hurt him with his words. Anyway , I did got a wound on my elbow and blood was also coming out. I got a bandage on it but it was still paining. As I and Kai left the Medical. We bumped into Jason.
" Sara , What happened? Are you okay ? Did you got hurt somewhere ?" Asked Jason.
" No ! I didn't got hurt. He got hurt." I replied pointing towards Kai.
" Me ?" Asked Kai.
" Yes. You were hurt." I replied looking at him.
" Oh yeah ! I'm hurt. My leg is paining. It got sprained. I need support." He said putting his arm around my neck.
I bet he was happy playing hurt because he got to hold on to me.
" Oh ! Then take care. I thought Sara was hurt as I saw you guys entering the medical so I came to see her."
As soon as Jason left, I pushed Kai away.
" Don't push your patient like this ! I'm hurt don't you get it."
" I'll hurt you in reality. If you did this kind of behaviour with me." I said going away.
But he stopped me by holding my wrist.
" Do whatever you have to do to me. But just don't make my heart break into pieces. Then I guess.....I'll be hurt in reality."
I walked away from him without mentioning a ' Thank you' to him.
ETHAN
I was sitting in canteen. My mind was playing one clip again and again. When Kai put his arm around her. He holded her close to him. She looked comfortable with him ...... she was comfortable his presence. Suddenly, I craved for that 'Comfort level' that Sara showed towards Kai. Maybe , it's beacuse I hate Kai but I really don't know ...... Why I was feeling this way ? Henry came with the papers. I was waiting for this moment for a long time. That punch that Adam had given me on my face.... I'll finally return it with a bigger one than his !
SARA
I was sitting in library when I got notified about Ethan's incident taking place in the hallway. I sighed , thinking " NOT AGAIN !!!" I rushed to hallway as soon as possible and found Ethan holding a papers in his hand. I went to him.
" What are you doing , Ethan ?"
" Now , I won't answer your question but this papers will answer each and every doubt you have in your mind."
I took the papers and read them. It has written on it that a legal case was filed against Adam. Because he punched Ethan first. I closed my eyes and sighing. Looking for a way to save Adam. I heard Ethan say " If you close your eyes in fear then how will you look for answers ?"
JASON
I reached the spot when Ethan was saying to Sara. " If you close your eyes in fear then how will you look for answers ?" I said loudly " Ethan, your answer is here !" Sara looked up to me as I walked towards Ethan. I gave the paper which I had bought with me. While reading the papers , Ethan looked at Adam with anger.
Zack said " I guess now you got your answer."
Ethan said to Adam " Alright. If you want to fight then let's meet in the court."
I urgently called a meeting in cabinet room. Sara was very angry with me. Once she came to know what we did.
" What are you doing ? Are you out of your mind ?" Said Sara.
" We just helped Adam." Replied Zack innocently.
" HELPED ? YOU CALL THIS HELP ?" screamed Kelly.
" Do you guys have any idea about the consequences ?" Asked Lexi.
" We didn't thought of any other way to save Adam." I replied.
" Jason , I'm happy that you helped us and you also want to help Adam. But making fake papers of legal processes..... ARE YOU CRAZY ?" Answered Sara.
" So what other ideas you have got to save Adam ?" I asked angrily.
" There are million ways to save Adam." Replied Lexi.
" This was one of it. Okay ? Are we good now ? Then let's go out for a cold coffee?" Said Omo.
Everyone shouted " NO!"
" Okay , people calm down !" Omo said.
" Jason , I'm really thankful to you. But if Ethan or anybody else comes to know this..... WE'RE DOOMED !!!" Said Sara.
" SIMPLE ! We won't tell anyone." Replied Omo.
Sara stared at Omo with coldness. Omo whispered" I guess only I'm cool about this matter."
" And you , Zack. Being a hacker doesn't mean you make fake papers of legal processes."
He replied " Hey ! We , Hackers don't leave a single clue behind through which we can be caught."
" Okay, guys ! Guys ! Guys ! Wait ! Let's see what Ethan does now. Let's wait for him to make a mistake." I said.
Sara replied " Jason , you don't get it. If Ethan really takes this matter to court then Adam who actually didn't file a case has to get involved in one for real."
" Okay . Let's finish this topic here. We are a cabinet. And our first responsibility is to keep students under control so that they don't misbehave....... whatevere Jason did was right from one angle and what you're saying Sara is also right from another angle. So let's just wait for Ethan. Because everything depends on him now." Said Omo intensely.
GIYA
I was walking past the cabinet room when I saw everyone coming out with different expression. One was worried, one was depressed, one was annoyed and Sara was angry so angry that she went right past me but didn't noticed me standing there.
" Jason ! " I called out to him. He came to me.
" Hey ! How are you ? How's your work going ?" He asked.
" Yeah . Good. What happened? Everybody looked tensed."
" Uh... nothing much." He replied smiling.
" Jason .... I wanted to ask you something."
" Yeah . Sure . Go ahead."
" Why did you click my picture that day in the bus ?" As soon as I spoke those words his smile faded and changed into embarrassed look.
" Um. I ..... I ...... I was just taking a selfie. I had no idea that you might come in it..... by the way , who told you about it ?"
" Sara ." I answered.
He whispered " Darn it , Sara !"
" What ?" I asked.
" Oh ! Nothing..... I'm sorry for clicking the picture. Do you have some time later ?"
" Yeah. Why ?"
" I just wanted you to help me in German. I'm just a bit off in this subject."
" Yeah . Sure. When you are free ?"
" After school when I finish my social work."
" That would be too late."
His smile faded again so I decided to cheer him up.
" Don't worry. Before going to work , I have one hour free so we can study at that time. But you have to finish your social work quickly."
He smiled " Oh ! Nevermind. I'm pretty fast in these things. So we'll start from today."
" Yep." I replied smiling.
SARA
Jason made a deal with me that if I help him in his social work then he will treat me anything I want. I helped him so that even my sister can spend some time with her lover. He was very happy that he was going to study with Giya. All the cabinet members finished their work. So as we were leaving , Omo walked me out of school.
" I didn't saw Jason today. Where is he ?" He asked.
" He wanted to study German so Giya was helping him. He finished his work soon for that reason." I answered.
" Ohhhhhh !!! He's finally spending some time with his love."
" His love ? You knew about this ?" I asked .
" Yeah, I knew. He confessed to me that he liked Giya."
" WHAT ? HOW DARE HE ?" I screamed.
" Why ? What's wrong ?"
" He told you that he loved my sister BUT he didn't told me. He confessed to you but NOT ME ! HE'S DEAD !"
" Uh .... Sara . I'm gonna go now. You , calm down."
Omo left running away from me. Jason NEVER told me that he liked my sister but he told Omo. I'm really going to kill him. Suddenly my phone rang.
" Hello ?" I said.
" Headgirl ?" The voice sounds familiar.
" Ethan ?" I asked.
" Yeah. It's me."
" How did you get my number ?"
" Do you think only you can get information about any student in the school ?"
I sighed " What is it ?"
" You may find this odd.... but I felt bad for What I did to you today."
" WHAT ? Who is this ? Who's playing around ?"
" Hey, it's just me , Ethan. So I wanted to meet you because I want to apologize for today. Can we meet at Coffee Center Cafe ?"
" No ! I'm not coming ! I don't trust you ! And I also believe that this is just some other trick of yours to hurt me."
" Listen ! I know Adam didn't filed that case against me. So if you don't want him to get involved in all this mess. Then meet me at Coffee Center Cafe."
He hung up. I guess I just have to meet him to save Adam from this mess
