The next day at school was even more stirring than the first day at school. Because of him. I don't know why I felt an instant connection with him. Made him mine for ever. You surely must be confused so let me begin from the starting.
I was lurching aimlessly with Anne because..actually..uh basically we, no ,actually Anne wanted to be away from him. Okay. 'Him' is Finnick Peterson.
If you don't recognise him instantly, you are really dumb. So I was dumb as I didn't know too."I am new here. Remember? How am I supposed to know everything?" I asked Anne."Oh!Sorry.It's a stupid thing to say if one doesn't know him."she replied.
I was told that practically every girl swoons over him. He is not any spoilt brat of a rich father but he comes from a normal family like any of us.The reason why every girl wanted him is because he has killer looks. And the main thing is he is a nineteen years old actor. After digesting all this, I take a good look at him secretly in carefree attitude pretending he is nothing great to me.
He is tall about six feet with oval face. His hair is a mixture of golden and brown and falls a little over his forehead. He is slim but muscular. He has...I need to stop now because the list goes on. He is practically a star.
"Say Anne, If that is so, why are we running away from him." I suddenly demanded.
"Cause we are friends."she replied.
Seeing my open and awestruck mouth she clarified further."We were actually"
"Would you care to explain what do you mean exactly?" I urged her.
"See Andrea. We were neighbours till he didn't have stardom, after which he went to some other place. When we were very little, we used to play together. We were always together even when we became teenagers.." she explained.
After processing all this, I exclaimed "So should you not be meeting him now if you are meeting him after a couple of years? Just go!"
But she replied in negative,"I hate him. I hate him for never being in touch with me again. I hate him for not calling me again. I just..don't ever want to talk to him."
I was dumbstruck.
By hearing Anne speak like this it seemed as if both of them were more than just friends. Were Finnick and Anne so close? I wanted to find out more.
Just then I saw Finnick running towards us, or towards Anne to be more specific. It was like his whole face was glowing with happiness.
"Anne! You are here! In this school? I am so glad to see you..missed you so much!" he said to her.
He seemed to be wanting to say more but Anne cut him short."Stop it Finnick.Don't try to pretend you are very happy to see me or you care about me. I know more. So just stop it."
The look on Finnick's face was of complete bewilderment. It was like a thunderbolt had struck him. He did not look like he was faking it or something. It looked genuine like a person who was really happy to see an old friend. But then I reminded myself he is an actor. He could be just acting all time and we won't even bother to doubt him.
"I didn't get any time to call you, Anne. My schedule is so fixed. These photo shoots, assignments etc. I was busy. But don't think I had forgotten you." he said to her.
But Anne stared at him in incredulity. Seeing Anne gave him no response, he went away without saying a word, with his fists clenched. I think I saw him glancing in my direction but maybe I just imagined it because he was already walking away and behind him followed a score of girls.
"Phew!So that settles it. You and Finnick were in a relationship. I can see it clearly.Don't deny!" I teased Anne.
She replied, "Yup. I admit it."
I further asked,"Don't you get jealous seeing him with other girls and how they are following".
"Of course not!We are exes.Now I don't care about him that with whom he spends time or...I don't care if he gets a new girlfriend." She said calmly but I felt a bitter tone when she said the last sentence.
"As if I care hearing all this, Anne.Come lets go.The teacher has come." I said.
She nodded.
As we walked towards the class I felt a sudden tinge of sadness that the guy whom I had suddenly developed a crush on, whom i really liked was my best friend's ex-bf. But then again I thought what Anne had said she doesn't care about him anymore. I left these thoughts and went into the classroom pledging myself I won't think about these thoughts again while in school and will concentrate on studies.
This was an excuse, of course.
Unknown's POV
"We'll have to change our plans," I said, with disappointment. I couldn't see us achieving success in our plan.
"But why?" The other voice asked softly.
"Because we need to change the girl now. We need a different girl for it," I told him.
"But who?" The voice asked, obviously shocked at the recent development.
"Andrea Ambush," I said slowly, before hanging up the phone.
