The Unwanted Love

The New Boy

Months passed, and finally our school reopened, I guess what the syllabus of grade 9 will look like! Maybe it will be more difficult than grade 8's? My bestie, Marian, studious as always, already covered half of the syllabus but see me, no eagerness to even open the book!

'When he pinned her on the wall and asked ''why you laughing, babydoll? Don't you think I'm scary?'' While smiling, she replied ''Scary? My god, you're divine'' That was all that he needed to hear, he started to play with her lower lip causing her lips to part...he smirked, seeing her parted lips, just when he was about to join his dry lips with her glossy ones, someone in a shriek voice called out ''DIVA, WILL YOU WAKE UP??? IT'S ALREADY 7:30AM! YOU'VE SCHOOL FROM 8!'' I said under my breath in a sarcastic tone, ''so everything was a dream? lovely''

I got up, brushed my teeth and wore my school uniform, I generally don't take a shower at the early morning, I always bath after coming from school, so yeah, I got ready and bid my mom a goodbye.

When I entered the classroom, I found bits and pieces of papers here and there and students gossiping, some whispering, Marian called me towards her bench and said ''Diva, the new student is gonna come today!'' I gave her a disgusting look and said ''What's so special in it?''

Today, again, we had computer in the first period, Mrs. Joyee entered the classroom followed by a new boy, who looked handsome with messy hair and a black mask, by taking a look at him, it seemed like he'll be quite polite towards everyone, Mrs. Joyee said to the new boy in our class ''So, child, introduce yourself'' The boy touched his mask, we thought he'll put it down, but no, he didn't, I whispered to Marian ''The boy is so weird, isn't it?'' The boy said in a hoarse and deep voice ''Hi, Its me, Trikshan.'' and stopped, his voice made me shiver slightly, not gonna lie, the only thing I thought that time was 'his voice is probably deeper than the pacific ocean'. Mrs, Joyee waited for a while, when the boy named Trikshan didn't say anything more, she said ''Child, don't you wanna say anything more?'' We thought he'll say more, but he bluntly said ''No teacher'' We were shocked yet happy to see someone who had the courage to say like that in front of Mrs. Joyee. Mrs. Joyee was quite offended but still didn't say anything more and said ''Let me see, Marian and Diva talks a lot in class, thus one of you need to change your place, well, Marian get up and shift back, and Trikshan, sit beside Diva'' I didn't want Marian to sit back and not with me, I tried to protest, but as usual Mrs. Joyee scolded me and made Trikshan, the weird boy sit beside me, I looked at Aliha who was sitting far away from me, she looked jealous, but who cares, I said to myself softly, almost like a whisper ''I don't care about anyone, I really don't''

After the class, the boy named Trikshan asked ''Do you have a name?'' I got extremely angry as I knew what was next and said ''Don't try these shitty pickup lines on me'' He said after a few seconds again ''Do you have a name?'' I thought to myself ''what type of a person is he? so weird!'' I answered this time ''Yes, I do'' he again became quite...this time, I asked him ''Can you put down your mask, please?'' he again stopped for a while and finally answered ''Yes, I can, but only for you'' I made my iconic ''wtf'' look and said ''What do you mean?!'' He said with a smile, I mean I can feel him smiling from the mask, ''Come with me, ask no questions'' I did as he said, because my curiosity was for real on an extreme level now.

He took me to an empty hall where there was no one and asked in an echoing voice ''Scared? You scared?'' I said trying to show him my strength ''Nope, not at all!'' He slowly put down his black mask and..... what should I say? I was surprised, scared, and shocked? No, not at all, I didn't even know him but I don't know why it seemed like I knew him, I saw him, I saw him somewhere! I was busy in my own world, thinking about where I saw him, when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder, I knew it was him, Trikshan, he said ''Thinking where you saw me...isn't it? I know you saw me, infact, everyone saw me somewhere or the other'' I asked getting nervous, ''Who are you? Where I saw you?'' I turned around and saw him nowhere in the hall, probably he has run away, but my stupid mind still wants the answer ''Who is he?''
