ETHAN
I was furious because I felt insulted......BECAUSE OF THAT PETTY HEADGIRL !!!!!!!! I will have my revenge. I won't let anybody take away my reputation. I'll make her life hell ..... NO ! WORSE THAN HELL !!! She will remember me for ages. I'll destroy her. I'll show her place in the school. She has pride over that ' Headgirl Post ' .... I'll destroy her so badly that she won't be able to heal her scars !!!!!
Daniel said " Ethan , Calm down . Let's wait for a chance to destroy her."
I kicked the desk and screamed.
" I WON'T WAIT FOR CHANCE ! I'LL DESTROY HER RIGHT AWAY. SHE HAS NO IDEA WITH WHOM SHE IS DEALING WITH !! I'LL SHOW HER PLACE IN THE SCHOOL. "
Henry said " Ethan , destroying the school's property won't make it easy."
" FIND EVERY POSSIBLE DETAIL ABOUT HER. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES HER WEAK. I'LL MAKE HER FEEL WHAT I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW ! STARTING FROM TOMORROW, HER LIFE IN THIS SCHOOL WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT !"
SARA
Giya came home late so she was made to do all the dishes. I asked her while helping her with dishes.
" How was your date ?"
" DATE ?" she asked.
" Yeah ...... don't deny it. I saw the pic."
" Which pic ?"
I removed my phone and showed her the picture which Jason sent me.
" When did he clicked this ?" She asked.
" Did you fall asleep on your way home ?"
" Yes.... I was tired. But .... why did he clicked it ?"
" For memories"
" What memories ?"
" The first date."
" Hey ! I didn't went on date."
" Then why are you late ?"
" Because I'm tired. My legs are paining. So I walked slowly."
" Why don't you say it ?"
" Say what ?"
" That you want to spend A LITTLE BIT more time with him. "
" With whom ?" Asked Mom .
Giya and I stared at each other. I whispered " sorry ." She glared at me . We turned towards our mom. I tried to smile as I explained to mom.
" Mom , umm Giya was.... was tutoring a kid and the kid doesn't want her leave so I told her she should spend a little bit more time with him. It would made him happy."
Mom replied " Small kids are very fond of Giya. Even our neighbour's son ' Louis' is very fond of her."
" Yeah , even big kids are fond of her." I said under my breath.
" What ?" Asked mom.
Giya said " Mom , let it be. Go to bed. I'll finish the chores in the kitchen."
As she went away, Giya hit me on my shoulder.
" Ouch !"
" Sara , who told you to open your mouth ?"
" But I saved you. Don't you think you should thank me instead ?"
She continued doing her dishes.
I whispered again " How was the date ?"
" You want to die ?"
I chuckled.
DARRELL
I was sitting down with Ethan and talking the usual stuff . When Daniel came and said.
" I found the details about Sara."
" Sara ? The Headgirl ?" I asked.
Daniel replied " Yeah. The very same."
" Tell me about it. " said Ethan.
" She is the elder daughter in her family. She has a sister who is studying in our school. Her name is ' Giya '. Their mom is a single mother. And both the sisters are non identical twins."
" Why ? Did she lost her father ? Or did he left them ?" Asked Ethan.
" Ummm. It's difficult to tell. But I found something interesting."
" What ?"
" The Headboy ' Jason Stanwood ' is very close to her. He had joined the same school that Sara and her sister had joined previously. And Sara is also very close to Jason. But I think that her weakness lies in her sister."
Ethan thought over it for a moment and replied with a smile.
" Perfect ! If I destroy the Headgirl then the Headboy would also be destroyed. Since he's very close to her. That way I'll hit a bull's eye."
I said " Hey, Ethan. Why do want to destroy Sara ?"
He replied " What do you mean ? She insulted me in front of everyone."
" But she was doing her job."
" Darrell , why do I feel you have a soft corner for our new Headgirl ?"
" It's not that ..... "
" Well, if you do have a soft corner for her then I'm sorry . I'll have to break your heart by hurting her."
" Can't you forgive her this time ?"
" My friend , I won't. Not even for you. We haven't welcomed her yet. Then let's do it. "
SARA
I was sitting in canteen. When a guy come over running to me and said hurriedly.
" HEADGIRL ! Ethan is fighting in class. Come with me . FAST !"
I followed him running past the students. Finally stopping, he said " This one."
I opened the door and suddenly something liquid fell on me. I realized it was eggs which fell on my head. I looked up and there was a bucket hanging. Ethan said holding his phone.
" Ahhhhh ! What a shot ! I'll circulate it around the school. It would be epic ! "
Zack came running and looked at me.
" WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER ?" He screamed.
" What ? Me ? I didn't did anything. I was just standing here. She came in and the bucket fell and the rest you know."
" DO YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE ?" Zack asked .
" Oh no ! Not at all ! I was just showing her how it felt to be humiliated. "
Zack said " YOU ....." but I cut him off.
" Zack , Calm down. Let me handle this."
I removed my handkerchief and wiped my face as I walked towards Ethan.
" Don't come near ! It stinks ! " laughed Ethan.
" You must have heard it . That people who create a mess for others ...... have to clean it themselves!" I replied throwing my handkerchief on his face.
" YOU !" Ethan was ready hit me but Zack came in between.
" Watch it ! I'll report it to principal. "
Zack removed his blazer and swirled it around me and led me out of the classroom. I was watched by curious eyes. People were turning their heads and whispering about me. I went to washroom and changed my uniform....... thanks to Lexi. She had a spare one. I washed my hair in the basin but it still stinks. The whole day, people kept their distance from me because of the smell. Very soon , I became a laughingstock because the video that Ethan shot was circulated among each student.
JASON
I got a video about Sara. It was circulated among students and she has become a laughing stock in the school. I felt bad for her........ I wanted to punch Ethan on his face but I let it go because I believed that Sara can go through this. At the end of the day , Sara came to do her side of social work but I stopped her.
" Sara , let it be. Go home."
" I'll do it . Don't worry."
" Sara ..."
" Jason , I'm fine. Don't worry."
Even though, she said those words normally but I knew she was disturbed by that incident.
Omo said " Sara , Jason is right. Go home. We will complete your part of work."
Lexi said " Sara , we are not gonna run away anymore. We will complete our part and your part of work too."
Finally after a lot of pleading, she agreed to go home.
KAI
I waited for Sara outside the school. I saw her coming out still depressed.
" What are you doing here ? You don't have to go home ?" She asked as she walked towards me.
" No . I was waiting for you."
" Me ? Why ?"
" I wanted to walk you home."
" Is it a way of knowing where I live ?"
" No ... I wasn't thinking that but since you gave me the idea now. I don't think it's a bad idea."
" Hey ! Stop it ! I won't tell you where I live ."
" But I know where you live."
" Where ?"
" In my heart." I smiled.
She tried to hide her smile .
" Walk at a distance away from me."
" Why ?" I asked.
" Because I stink ."
I looked at her and put my arm around her shoulder.
" Hey ! What are you doing ?" She said going away from me.
" I don't care about people. So don't worry I'll stick next to you."
" You don't but I do !"
" I know you don't do that...... so should I take this as a caring gesture of yours towards me ?"
" No !" She screamed.
" Why ? You don't like me ? OOOOHHHHHH YEAH !!!!!! THAT REMINDS ME ...... YOU DIDN'T GAVE ME AN ANSWER ON THAT DAY ?" I said.
" Uhhhhhh....." she replied rolling her eyes but then ran off. I followed her.
