Heart's too bleed

2) Embarrassment

""In your heart , there is a bell,
Listen to what it has to tell.
It rings when someone enters ,
And also when it's time to expel.""

Alison Summer pov -

All seemed good until it was Lunch break .
Me and Julie were heading towards our campus cafeteria .
on our way Rena got a call so she couldn't make it .

Our campus cafeteria is huge . When I say huge that means pretty giantic that it can  swallow hundreds of big mumma elephants at a time ... Ok did I say 100 ...ha ha sorry guys not to brag but it truly amazes me everytime how beautiful and big my school is . It's so  well maintained well furnished and every other things  . While it's truly the case I totally forgot to mention that it's expensive as hell . Well atleast to me . There are hardly few of those kind studying here who could not afford this ,and sadly I am one of them .

When we entered  I was once again taken aback by how crowded it gets in lunch break . If you are like me , like a total introvert you will relate to it .

it was full of people , bickering sounds and Chaos from all four directions . And Finally by god's little grace we caught a vacant table across a big glass window .

I was heading in that way ,to my destination . It was all good until someone 's leg got into way , I stumbled, lost my balance and landed on cold floor with a thud .

First few seconds ,there was silence , next few seconds all eyes were on me ,and after that there was only laughter ...

Ouch it hurts .
I was embarrassed ...

I tried to get up and a hand was forwarded to me . It was her ...

I was doubtful but then I gave in  . I took her hand and when I was halfway she let it lose ,let my hand go . But this time I was hurt bad . Tears welled up in my eyes .

And right then I knew it was intentional

Mia drew  , Daughter of school's Richest Sponsor.  I knew right then that  I was on her radar . Her father sponsored scholarship for the school . Mr drew  indirectly rules this institution And this mere fact made her unapproachable . And the worst part was, she knew it too .

" Oh my I didn't saw . Shouldn't you be  careful miss poor   " she said in very monotonous was .

" Shut up Mia . Everyone knows that you did it on purpose "  Julie enragedly said

" Ali Are you Ok ? Are u hurt anywhere ?" Julie asked concerned

"How can u do that Mia . You may be rich but that doesn't give you right to treat others poorly . Apologies to her right now or we will file a complaint against you ?" Julie said angrily .

"What !! No Jules it's fine ,I-I am  look I am ok .pls let this go .I I don't want any other mess "

Julie like Every other belonged to well established family . But even though that may be true she wasn't as rich as them . And for that reason she was  looked down few time too .

But unlike me she had a courage to stand-up against her bullies

" What makes you think that this lowlife deserves my apology . You are a fool to think that I will do that  " Mia said and all her friends started laughing again ,

"I don't apologise , everyone apologises to me " Mia said authoritatively .

All attention was on me now . And My eyes ,My Stupid eyes once again were brimming with tears . I caught Julie by her arm and told her to not extend this mess any further.

" U r ridiculous Mia , if this happens one more time , Get ready to see your name on complaint registrate  .

Few moments later

I was engrossed in my thoughts , my all attention towards an empty window

" U should stand for yourself Ali  , your silence will only empower her " Julie said
" They will keep doing it until u let them , this spoiled rich people don't consider anyone's feelings except theirs ."

I know she is telling me truth only but what can I do . I am not confident like her , I know Mia was wrong and she did it on purpose because she knew I lacked confidence . I should have taken stand but seeing people laughing  at my face words refuse to leave my tongue.

" I understand Julie , I understand it all . But tell me what I should have done . Don't you already know what standing up against her result for me  " I said

" If Mr Andrew ever get a word of this . He will probably cancel my scholarship and then what ... "
Now Julie was looking at me with sympathy

"Please don't cry Ali , I understand u "

" You know what Julie , No one wants to be treated like that ,  Not me and not anyone else . Buts it's the result that bondage my courage .
I don't lack courage Julie , I am just  not in position to face the consequences of my actions  "

" Just know I am always here for u and I will always take stand for u " she said with a small genuine smile .

" Thanks Julie, u r such a great friend " then we chat some more about usual things

Bell ringed indicating that The Day finally ends .

I walked towards my locker .  There were eyes on me , some looked sympathetic, some pity,  some funny and some didn't even bothered . I Ignored them all

But what I couldn't ignore was hushed discussion regarding this mysterious boy .

I didn't pay much attention but it was probably regarding  That new transferred student 

What is it in Him that People can't stop Talking about his Looks and All .

He Must be Just Another Rich kid .

    ****

HIM–

They say nothing in life comes easy , Not the success and definitely not the Love .

You must sacrifice something in order to gain the hearts desire .

And therefore Here I am ,
In Front of Town's Most Prestigious and Most reputed Institution .

Here begins My new journey ....

                               ****
Few Days later

Days passed , weeks turned and finally things fell in their destined place .

Making friends were never a problem But Bonding with the Good ones was .
Fortunately I didn't had to struggle for it ...

"So Mr. Leader when would you like to give us a treat or do you have  other nasty plans ..... "  Max
Said

" Common Man . Let Him breath .  .  " - Eric

" Ok Ok But isn't it too Early , I mean
We We have just won One Match . We Still have a Tournament to win  " 

"If Our Team Wins this upcoming Football Tournament, The Treat will be on me... What say  ""

                                 ***

In the ocean of dark, moon shines  like a flame
Like it wants to convey we are under its claim...

Though this night will pass too , taking all odds and goods
Giving one more opportunity in our plate ,
To fulfil our needs but keep in touch with root's ...

Nature is calm and dark, trees and houses are stand still,
Like it's warning for upcoming storm and thrill ....
