AM I TOO HARD TO LOVE?

PART I

Avneet woke up to the alarm ,in her old room ,which she probably missed all these years,her bed was warm and cozy and she felt like cuddling with her pillows again .But it was starting of something new and probably exciting .After leaving London when she was 15 ,so much has changed ,she is not who she was years back .She is brave and confident! but the harsh memories of her past never let her forget them and haunt her dreams .

She smiled to herself ,she is sure everything is gonna be so good and her future is bright as sunshine now . 

"good Morning love!" Jessica ,her care taker,who was in her mid forties, greeted her with a warm smile with breakfast wrapped in silver foil . 

"hey jazzy!!" avneet smiled back and jazzy handed her breakfast . Avneet thanked her with a small peck on her cheek . "that does not mean I'm not mad ,you are leaving your old lady again!" jazzy pouted and avneet awed at her . "I don't have any options ,do I ? I have got scholarship and I need to stay in the hostels of the university ,that way You will not have to worry about me and you can concentrate on other new kids of our orphanage right? plus I'm grown up now ,I will be fine and visit you every weekend .is that fine?" avneet side hugged the lady .

Being orphan was never a problem to avneet ,she loved jazzy so much and jazzy was her only family . Being bright student was also a plus point ,Jazzy never had to worry about avneet's education because since childhood avneet received many scholarships and now was going to enter her dream university for completing her majors in archeology . 

Jazzy nodded while patting avneet's cheek softly."But are you sure you'll be fine ?"

 "Dont worry darling ,I am stronger now ,No one can let me down ." Avneet said proudly and jazzy giggled while having tears in her eyes.

With her backpack and a large trolley bag avneet sat in the taxi ,saying final good bye to her caretaker and some children who waved at her energetically .she took a deep breath,the fresh but cold air filled every part of her body ,she shivered a bit but she was really excited to go in the new environment . She was scared, too, What happened in past was so cruel that it was a bit difficult for her to go to the university in the same city where she was bullied to the core ,so much that she was on the verge of killing herself .

**

at 11 ,she got a  a chance to go to one of the best high schools in London because of her excellent scores .This was the school where all rich spoiled children went , Avneet was different ,she was intelligent but different from all the children who came in cars ,in branded clothes and bagpacks .

The children there never accepted her as one of their classmates ,she was inferior just because she was not rich ,like them .First two years were not that bad for her ,even though she had no friends and people used her to complete their  home works.  A new transfer the next year ,changed her life into living hell.

Siddharth Nigam! The rich spoiled brat ,who's father owned half of the companies in Europe. He transferred to their school just because he didn't like the cafeteria in his previous one .It was very easy for him to just switch schools,avneet always wondered .

Soon he was in the spot light , He was like a boss now ,everyone did as he told them to.There was sudden change in rules ,students were catagaroised on how rich they were .Avneet and some of scholorship students were placed in social care group and bullying them was everyone's favorite time pass .

**

"hello ,miss.topper?"siddharth said, Hazel eyes twinkling at avneet with a boyish smirk dancing on his plump pink lips ,sliding his lunch tray right Infront of her .He sat their like a boss .avneet was taken aback for seconds ,She knew she was surely in trouble seeing his friends passing her smirky smiles from the table across .

"Its avneet !" avneet pushed her specks up her nose ,awkwardly . she was trying to look away from him,but his face was dangerously Attractive .He's body perfectly toned and built ,of course he was into gymnastics . She saw him this closely for the first time ,she felt  small tingles  running through her body and her heart raced fast ,in fear and something she didn't understand. 

"done looking at my pretty face ?" Sid asked snapping his fingers at her .she knew he was not here to be friends with her and didn't deserve to be treated nicely .she has seen him treating her classmates ,that was too harsh ,and no one could do anything about it .his father was strong enough.

"what do you want ?" she asked composing herself and gathering her courage .

"is that how you talk to someone who is here to be friends with you ?"he asked pulling a overexaggerated sad face . 

"I'm sorry ,I don't want to be friends with you ,gotta go. " avneet said ,getting up quickly .but a strong pair of hands held her and made her sit again.it was harsh ,she turned back to see 2 more boys behind her ,they were like two arms of siddharth ,abhishek , his twin who was quite all  the time and Josh ,who pushed her back in her seat .

"Ouch I'm offended !!have lunch at least ,you will pass out otherwise. " He said ,biting his sandwich. "you know what ,I have found a new recipe ,you will enjoy it trust me." he said smirking ,He grabbed her apple juice and poured it all over her plate ,avneet gasped audibly . "oopss,you can have my sandwich,no issues." he smirked throwing his half eaten sandwich. Towards her .That was disrespectful!
