My Destiny

Chapter 22

"Steff", I was happy to see her back.

"I missed you", Anaya gave me a glare when Steff said that.

"How's your leg", I changed the topic. Steff gets attached real quick to a person she meets. I remember when I met her first, she was so out spoken and wouldn't shut her mouth. 

"It's perfectly alright now. That small mistake of mine lead to weeks bed rest.", she was missing for weeks.

"Would you lend me your notes, as I missed multiple classes", she requested me.

"Umm, ye..."

"Or otherwise, I can come to your place and collect it if your not done yet, besides you could help me"

"Actually we have other plans after school. I need to go to her place for some work, right Isha?", God, can someone let me speak. Anaya's voice was filled with jealousy.

"Ummm, yeah sure you can take them tomorrow ones am done"

"Thanks, see you", she gave me a flying kiss, which was little cringe because we weren't so close, but I smiled in return.

"You don't have to keep inviting everyone home", I giggled when she said that. 

"All right class, lets start with our third lesson, Python", Our teacher, nearly yelled in the mic to grab everyone's attention. I looked around the class, checking for Ryan. But there was no sign of his presence. I was happy but equally sad as well, I wanted to see him. Be around him, but after what he did in the party I didn't want to see his face. 


Five days later... 

Today was the performance day. I was nervous. I had only practiced with Ryan so far, but now things had changed. Me and David worked out ass off all these five days. My outfit was perfect for this. It was a shade of red and orange. David's outfit was some what similar color to mine. We were waiting back stage, for our turn. David was really with me, he was standing opposite to me- the other side of the stage. He wasn't visible, as there was too much lighting on the stage, which was not giving a clear vision. 

The performance on the stage came to an end, the lights went dim. The speaker got onto the stage and appreciated the performance.

"The next performance is by, Isha Harvey and David Miller", I walked on the stage, a  person was walking in opposite direction. David's face was not that visible, and some what the features didn't match. When he came under light, my body went cold. I froze right there where I was standing. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing.

"Am sorry, there must have been a mistake, it's Isha Harvey and Ryan Wellenton", the speaker announced. What the hell? Why is he here? Where is David. I don't want to cause a scene here. My dream going to Howard is ruined completely. The fear of losing was clearly seen. He doesn't even know what me and David planned. He walked towards me and brought his right hand forward, requesting me to lend my hand. I could hear silence around me. My hand trembled, I gently put my hand in his. God knows what's going to happen. When he started, they were all the same steps which me and David practiced. 



After the performance, we both exited from one end. I was still in shock and processing what just happened.

"What are you doing here", I kept my volume low.

"We can go back to dressing room and have the same conversation than having thousand eyes on us", I agreed and he leaded the way to the room. I wanted someone with me, we both know well what's going to happen if we both are left alone. "Speak up, where is David, what did you do to him", I was worried for him.

"You really are worried for him huh? What if I say, he is a pussy and he left you", those words passed like current through my body. That is not possible, why would he leave.

"Why would he just run away after so much of rehearsals and the time we devoted.", I yelled. I was angry now. He was getting onto my nerves.

"Don't yell, be thankful that I saved you from getting embarrassed in front of you know how many people. For god sake, I saved you from humiliation", he took a step forward. I was equally thankful that he appeared on right time. What if what he is saying is true. What if David ran away for real. Wait, how did he know the same steps which me and David were practicing together.

"How did you catch up with those same steps which me and David were discussing and practicing from past few days?"


Yesterday/A day ago.... 

Ryan's POV  

"Your out of your mind", Marina yelled.

"No am not. What ever am doing, I have my senses on", I yelled back. I know it is a stupid idea but that's how I can get her to apologize me. "You sure about this", Marina's voice was calm now compared to a second ago.

"Yeah, I don't want that bastard David anywhere around her. What she say that day, fuck, she thought am with you or fucking you"

"What", she laughed.

"What's so funny", I gave her a confused look.

"If my girlfriend saw something similar, she wouldn't jump to conclusion and start assuming shit. What you need here is trust, which clearly I don't see", she is right. Neither of us trust each other completely.

"Are you gonna help me or not"

"Ofcourse am gonna help you", I knew Marina from my childhood. I was the first to know that she was... I mean is gay. I trust her completely, that's why am seeking her help to trap David. Before the performance starts, I will lock him up in the washroom. It sounds very silly, but I no other option.

"But tell me one thing, do you even know what they are going to do on stage", she asked me and I smirked. I have been keeping on eye and on what they are learning. I shouldn't have done that, but I didn't have a choice.

"Yeah, I kept an eye on David. I only recorded his steps."

"Your a complete dick", Marina stated and we both laughed.

"What if she comes to know that you recorded them", That for sure would be possibly out soon. 

"Well, you see here. I was not left with any possible choice. And I would apologize to her. I didn't even record her. I just recorded that dick head". 

Present.... 

"How did you catch up with those same steps which me and David were discussing and practicing from past few days?", her voice made me back come to present.

'I.... I saw you to practicing", I wanted to tell her the truth and not lie to her. Her sparkling eyes, were driving me crazy. "You what? How is it possible to remember those many steps at once? Where you keeping an eye on us", she got it. I looked down, I couldn't lie to her while having our eyes locked.

'Now I see, did you record us?", her voice was low.

"Yeah, but only him. I can show you the proof", I almost took my phone out of my pocket. She gently placed her hands on mine.

"There no need for that", It eased the ache in my chest.

"Where is he", she crossed her hands and stood like a model.

"In... in the washroom", she walked passed me and tried to open the door.

"That thing requires a key", I was scared whether she would expose me and report me to the principle.

Finally she unlocked it and opened the door. That dick head was sitting on the floor with his hands wrapped around his knees. When he lifted his head up, there was anger filled in.

"Isha", that was the first thing that came out of his dirty mouth.

"Am sorry, What your performance?"

"Don't worry about it, we managed it", she pointed at me. The look on his face when he saw me was not pleasing.

"Did you lock me in?", he grabbed my collar. What the fuck is wrong with him.

"David get away", she pushed him back. She got power boy.

"Don't try to cover him Isha", I know it will be worse for what I have done.

"He didn't do anything", she yelled. I was surprised by her answer. We both looked at her in shock.

"Look I have the keys, the lock got jammed and I went out looking for the keys. There were so many people out there that it took time", that wasn't expected from her.


Isha's POV   

I didn't like to lie specially to him who has supported me and even been my partner. Well the final performance was given by me and Ryan. When David left the room, it was again filled with silence. I looked at him, to my surprise he was looking at me. His hair was messed up, his blue eyes darken. For a second it felt like we went back in time. We looked at each other and to my surprise we ended up laughing for a serious situation which was set up by him.

He came close to me, pulled me to himself by my waist. I didn't stop him. I missed this, I missed him. I still didn't forget about that girl sitting on his lap, but if he did this whole thing, perhaps it did mean something for him. He brought his  lips close to mine, and I shut my eyes. His lips eventually touched mine. My body ignited, all the anger, pain eased down. His lips were moving slowing against mine. My fingers were running through his hair, he groaned.

"Opppp... we didn't see anything", a voice interrupted us.

It was the same girl who I found was sitting on his lap. The angry which was gone for a few seconds returned. Ryan removed his hands from his waist and went to hug her. I ball my fist and stood there. Another girl was standing beside her.

"Hey, your Isha right?", she walk passed him. She hugged me, I didn't know what was going on. I didn't hug her back.

"Enough babe", the other girl called out.

"I didn't introduce you to her. She is Emma, my girlfriend", My eyes widen. She is gay. Why was she sitting on his lap then. The pain which was rising in my chest lowered. 

"And by the way, the thing which you saw in party didn't mean anything. Feelings for him, no way. Am his childhood friend, hope that doesn't bother you, even if it does, I can't help it.", she half laughed. It took me time to process the entire thing. "No... not at all. You guys are friends, I can understand. And that thing from the party was silly of me with out asking him I jumped to assumptions." we laughed.

"I like her already", she turned towards Ryan.

"Sure Marina, now can you leave us, so that we can talk", Ryan said.

"Talk.... mhmm. Nothing else", she smirked and left.

It was only me and him in the room once again.
