Beyond the Beats

Chapter 89. Small Bean

I started feeling suffocated and really felt helpless as my every effort to get Axel off my back proved useless.

More than myself, I was worried about what Tejas would think about the situation I was in. I had just told him I would take care of myself, and here I was, trapped under a giant blue-eyed monster.

"Oh my god, Bhoomi, are you okay?" Taylor's assistant, Jen, asked after arriving.

With her, there were two boys, who picked up Axel, and by the way they were talking to each other, I deduced they were close to him.

After they took Axel out of my room, Jen assisted me to get up; I felt like my waist was dislocated.

"I am sorry for what happened," Jen apologized. "Are you really okay? What happened before we came?"

I sat down on the bed slowly and told her how Axel had crashed into me after arriving drunk at my door. Jen was not happy to hear that and assured me that she would report it to Taylor. Such incident would not happen again. I thanked her, and when she left, I picked up my phone to call Tejas, but he called me first instead.

"You okay, Bhoomi?" he asked.

I took a deep breath. "Yes, I am fine. It was just a small accident."

"I saw what happened. Please go and get a check-up done. Was it really Axel who fainted on you?"

"Yup, and I am not that hurt. I will feel better once I get a good sleep."

"First have dinner. I still can't believe Axel would do such a thing. Please lock your door whenever you are alone."

"Sure, I will," I assured. "But how do you know Axel?"

I was surprised that Tejas had been to Taylor's academy when he was just fifteen years old. He wasn't here for a long time but his experience here was good. He and Axel were familiar with each other, and Tejas had good impression of Axel, so he was worried about his recent behaviour.

"You met him four years ago, Tejas," I said. "My friends here told me that he has been in a sour mood for last six months. Also, when he talked to me today, I didn't like his attitude. And now, he even fell on me!"

Tejas laughed. "Your life is very happening, Hamster. As for Axel, there could be some personal issue for his current behaviour, so don't bother much, okay?"

"You are right. I am hungry, so I will go and see what's for dinner. You must be busy too. I took a lot of your time."

"I won't complain if you took all of my time," he said.

I laughed like a donkey when as soon as he said that, I heard his mother call him. Soon, I heard Hriaan's voice, and he was shouting at Tejas to stop flirting with me and get his ass in the car. They were getting late for a competition.

"Let's try to talk when we get time, okay?" I suggested. "Now go and supervise your juniors, or Hriaan will blame me again."

"Love you, Hamster. Take care. I will call you soon," Tejas said.

"I love you too," I said.

We both didn't want to hang up the call, but we had to. Tejas had to leave to handle his Captain duties, while I had to satisfy my stomach.

I struggled to get up from the bed, cursing Axel under my breath.

How is he so heavy when he looks so slim? Why did he have to arrive on my door? My bad luck!

I slowly left my room and remembered to lock it. I was leaving for cafeteria when I noticed the earlier two boys leaving the room adjacent to mine. They stopped and looked at me seriously.
