CHAPTER 2

NAVYA

"Your father is about to disown you devi, look at you stuffing your mouth anyway"
"But Don't worry, your father won't disown you..yet."

Kareena glaire at devi and she gives her a smug smile, i laugh shaking my head. It has been a week since that incident happened

My brother found out because he was the one who brought me back home and he has not talked to me since but still drops me off and picks me up, sometimes. I thought he would tell vikram bhai or pitaji but he didn't and i feel grateful that he didn't

My fingers shake when i think about what happened in that room, I feel a shiver run down my spine when his dark, murderous eyes come into my mind, I flinch when i feel a hand on my shoulder and I hear devina laugh

"Hey, its me"

I groan rolling my eyes and get up from the chair, taking my jacket and books

"Where are you off to my earth princess?

I grimace at the name and slide the chair back in

"Im going to the library for a bit"
"Oh alright, send zaria to me"
"Is she in the library?"
"No..use telepathy?"

She laughs thinking its the best joke she has made and i stay nonchalant before i start to retreat from the canteen

"See you later"

I tiredly wave my hand back at her with a lazy smile and walk out of the canteen, I turn on the left corridor, walking down the stairs when i feel somebody following me and the hair on the back of my neck stands as a shiver run down my spine

I turn around but i find nobody. the students were chatting with their friends or heading somewhere and i don't see anyone giving me a off feeling

Weird..

I shake my head, its probably because i feel tired, i guess i will have to head back home early today. I start walking again but the feeling doesn't wash away as I take a turn towards the library hall

I push open the door and walk inside to find no one, hm?

"Mrs sharma?"

I look for the librarian but I find her nowhere, I usually come around this time to library because its peaceful and not many students come here at this time and mrs sharma should be here..

I sigh, i guess im by myself today, not that i mind it but having mrs sharma's company around me feels nice, comforting

I smile, taking in the tangy scent of grassy notes with a hint of vanilla and groundwood, a cup of coffee would feel great since im all alone today

I turn around to go and get myself a coffee but i halt, my heart drops when i see those malevolent, champagne dark eyes.

My mouth gapes and i stop thinking all of a sudden, he was standing before me, leaned against the shelf of books. His hands in his pockets and his eyes gazed lazily towards me.

Why is he here?

How is he here? Did he come here for me? But for what? How did he even find me? Many questions cross in my head and i step back terrified when he starts walking towards me
