My new boyfriend

Chapter 8

When the last bell rang stating end of the class everyone rush out of the class. I saw a crowd at the collage notice board. I thought of having a look at it too. But Ellie refused to check. She said We can check it when the crowd is over, Tomorrow. With a grin And all I did is drag her hand towards the crowd. Lets go check now you lazy bum.

I tried hard to get through the crowd to reach the notice board. And finally I reached and to my surprise Ellie was already there. she is too fast to cross the crowd.
"List of Names for Meeting of Drama Club". Oh my god I completely forgot. I too filled a form at the time of admission. I put my finger on the names of the list to locate my name.

Your name is there. Really ? You registered for this? Ellie looked at me in surprise in her big, really big eyes.

I withdraw my hand off the board and turn back to leave the crowd. Yes.

I didn't know you love to act?

Actually I completely forgot about this. But now you right. I replie and followd her to the way to her car.

Thats really awsome. I am sure you will be choosen for the lead if its a love story. Ellie said in a proud voice.

God knows. Hey, Have you ever tried acting ? I asked.

Yes.

You did? Thats great . I looked at her face and I read her face. And she was kidding. You are kidding right?

Ofcourse I am. The last time I remember I act was when I was three. My teacher decided that I would better be a tree standing in corner of the stage. she said in a mocking tone.

Ohh thats rude. I awwed.

Ohh no thats not rude because other students wanted me to be the pig in that play.

And we both laughed. Literally like hell. She opened her the door of her car at the driver's seat.

I instantly remember something and turned back towards the school from the parking lot.

What happened? I hear Ellie asked loud enough for me to hear while I was rushing back towards the notice board.

I forgot to check the time of the meeting tomorrow . And I hope she heard it.

I sprint back to the spot where the notice board was. There was no crowd. Only a couple of students were there probable checking the schedule. I did check the details to make sure I don't have to jog back again.

I turned back to step forward towards Ellie's car. I saw Ridan at the parking lot. I smiled. He smiled back and started walking towards me. I was shocked, but I tried to settle my emotions to blank. I am sure he would offer me a drive to home and I don't want that. Because we hardly get anything to talk while he drive. That's really odd. although not boring. Before I could wave off my thoughts he was already there in front of me with a warm smile.

We are going the same way. You want to come? He asked.

Nop. I mean, I already told My friend Ellie that will come with her today. So.... I said with a little hesitation.

Ohh sure. He shrugged his hands. He waved his hand bye, turned and started to walk.

I felt a little disappointed. I thought he would insist. Rude.

I reached Ellie. She was busy typing on her phone and noticing the colour of her cheeks I could say that its Jay. I waited outside the car. The school was almost empty. Only few students were at the parking lot and few at the lawn at the entrance. Ellie finished typing. She was having a big ever smile I have ever noticed on her face.

He is requesting to meet him. now. he is nearby. she said in a desperate tone.

Then go meet him, stupid. I advised. which seemed very obvious in that situation sensing her desperation.

I am sorry, I promised you to drop you home.

Thats no big deal honey. I assured her. I will take the metro.

I see her waving me bye and rolled the car out of the parking lot. I too started walking pretty fast to get to the metro station as soon as I can. On the way there were two boys probably in their early twenties popped from nowhere. They were in a bike and stopped it right beside me which caught me off guard. I looked at them to make sure what just happened. And they were having those wired smirk plastered to their face. I could sense that they were carring some bad intention. I started walking even faster. I could feel my cheeks burning with anger and fear and my eyes started creating tears but somehow I was able to control them. They were still following me. And I started almost running. Then I heard a loud noise of tyres brushing through the ground and then following with a loud thud. I turned my head to check what exactly just happened. And my eyes turned to the size of football. The two boys were on the ground along with their bike. There was a car parked near them. And I knew whose it was. Ridan.( Now Ridan the Saviour). I let out a sigh of relief.

I noticed the boys were not hurt they stood up in a hurry and before Ridan could came out of his car they started the bike and vanished. when Ridan came out of the car his eyes were furious. I have never seen him like this before. I was froze to place where I was and turned my focus to the ground. to avoid the fireball storming towards me. He came close to minimize the distance between us.I could feel his gaze at me, his breathing was fanning my face. His breath was fresh like he just brushed with some mint flavored paste. The time stopped and looked up to meet his gaze. Our eyes locked and felt something that I never felt before.

He took my wrist. His grip was gentle and firm. just one word ''come with me''. And I followed him like I follow my dad. He opened the door and i obediently sat on the seat next to the drivers seat without uttering a word. He pulled the ignition and the car started. we drove in silence. But this time it was not awkward. I felt safe, secure and like home.
