THE PRIDE OF THE PAKI

Hallway Arguement

Rest of the school passed in a blur. Nothing special happened or it's better to say I didn't pay attention to any thing happening around as I was so engrossed in thinking what Luke told me. What is this fear that Charlie has? What happened to Charlie that he can't see some blood spilling out? But most of all I was pondering over the thought that why the hell did I act so weak in front of that damn devil. Me, Kiran Dean Khan, and weak. Never in the 16 years of my life have I let some one talk to me like that. I was always the one who made others bow down in front of me. Then how can I let that devil act like this towards me? Why did I let that stray tear leak down? Traitor moistness.

The shrill sound of the school bell brings me back from La La Land, and I look around to see every one leaving and the faint sounds of hustling turn higher. The last class was dismissed and every one was eager to go back home. Home. That reminds me I have to call Abba and fill him in on the events that happened from my arrival till now but minus the Charlie event of course. There goes my mind back to that topic which has kept me company for the whole time.

Shaking my head to get rid of these thoughts, I head out of the class and make my way to the hall, from where I intend to go to where the lockers are present. I was looking for someone who might help me, but who will even want to talk to the newbie Paki. In hopes of some angel to come to my rescue, I stood there waiting when all of a sudden a body collided with me. I was ready to turn and give the person a piece of my mind but froze when I saw none other than Luke. Allah why him, I thought. Why not some cleaner or Sean Penn? Sean Penn? Where the heck did that come from Kiran? I was getting ready to hear charlie's voice dripping with sarcasm but i got a response in a deep voice.

"What do you think you are doing in the middle of the way paki? Luke said. The cockiness in his voice and that perfectly raised eyebrow brought back the memories of the events of today. And the pent up fury came back. I wanted revenge and I was gonna get it. Sweet Revenge.

"Oh, me? I was just thinking of where to shove a bomb so that it could blow you up. You got any idea? Wait don't tell me, I have the perfect place. Up your ass." I smile bitterly and suppress a laugh that was threatening to come out when I saw the shocked look on Luke's face and the many amused faces of the passer-bys.

He glared at me but recovered quickly and said with a smirk," I know my ass is perfect paki but what I didn't know was u were fantasizing about it. Guess what, you are full of surprises."

I turned beet red after hearing his comment and got ready to lounge at him as I was seeing red. I charged at him after letting out the famous warrior cry I perfected in front of the big oak tree in the yard of our home through hours of practice. He didn't see it coming and fell down with me on top straddling him. I hit his chest with my baby punches multiple times but damn his chest was rock hard. I continued my assault and that devil acted as it didn't affect him a bit, instead he folded his arms behind him and rested his head on it looking anything but hurt. He gave me a smirk which sent a message 'girl keep on trying' and I returned with a mighty blow to his stomach. A shout of " The principal is coming" made me loose my balance which made me stumble and I was going to fall off of Luke's body but he grabbed me in time with his hands firmly placed on my waist. We stared into each others eyes just like in those Bollywood movies where Shahrukh Khan stares lovingly in the eyes of her lady. It was like i was in a trance, but i recovered quickly from it and diverted my gaze downwards. It was then that I noticed which position we were in. A voice boomed through the hall," What is going on here?" which was followed by the crisp echoing of shoes on the tiled floor. I quickly got to my feet with Luke standing close by.

We all turned to look at a very pissed of Mr. Brooke standing with his arms folded. If he were an animated character i bet you my addidas snickers that smoke would be coming from his ears. With a grey buttoned up shirt tucked in, rectangular glasses at the very end of his nose and sleeves folded upwards he walked towards the small group that had formed around us taking his own sweet time, as if calculating his every move, with an authoritative aura dripping from every step he took.

"Would any one tell me what is happening at this time in this very hall?" His loud voice boomed through the silent hall and I had a very strong urge to cover my ears but I did well in making them stay put in their position. "Huh? You guys have turned dumb or what ? I demand you people tell me why two of my students were scattered on the floor. Right now!"

Nobody dared to make a move. He came towards Luke and I and said,"Mind telling me what you two were doing just a moment ago?" I opened my mouth to explain myself but Luke beat me to it and said," Some notes fell down and I was helping her collect them." A perfect lie. I scoffed internally. The principal eyed us for a moment and as if not satisfied by this explanation, he made a valid point by saying," With her on top of you?"

I could hear people snickering but Luke lied smoothly again and saved both of us. "We collided and somehow she ended up being on the top." Shrugging his shoulders, he replied.

The principal said something which made me loose my footing for just a millisecond," Is that so? Then why was I informed that two students were fighting down the hall?" And raised an eyebrow. We both stood speechless and looked at each other with confusion in our eyes. "So you were really fighting then? I expected better from you two. Especially you Mr. Cattivo. Ms. Khan is new but you." He shakes his head at him and looked me straight in the eye," Being new also doesn't explain your actions Ms. Khan." It made me bow down my head in humiliation.

"I want the both of you in my office in five minutes. As you can see, a detention is in order for you Ms. Khan" I looked up at him dejectedly and heard Luke whispering a 'yes' in my ears. I opened my mouth to argue but the principal hushed me with saying his next words," Why the sudden joy Mr. Cattivo? You didn't think I was giving detention to Kiraan alone, did you?" It was my time to snicker but the glare directed towards me from the principal made me shut up. Karma is really a bitch, I thought and laughed internally."Rest of you must leave this very instant." And with that he walked away but not before glaring towards the both of us.

The hall emptied in the snap of a finger leaving Luke and I alone. We looked at each other with pure hatred in our eyes directed towards each other but he had the audacity to smirk at me. Like seriously. He effing smirked at me, Kiran Dean Khan! I was not going to let that go and replied by flipping him off. He looked amused and it was me smirking now. Victory again!

He surprised me by bowing down, extending his arms forward in a chivalrous manner and speaking in an accent I couldn't put my finger on," After you." I stood there shocked for a good two minutes before moving my feet in the direction Mr. Brooke had just went. With Luke trailing behind me and a detention ahead, I could just wish that it passes without me murdering him and vice versa. But one thing was for sure, playful Luke was better than the grumpy Luke.

Allah save me!
