Chapter -9

This isn't home then why isn't it not scary?

'What's up peepants?

'First You suck. Second,What's up with me? Maybe you should ask that to yourself ' I Shrieked

' Fine, tell me what's happening ' he asked clearly not interested

' Well, I woke up in the morning and my head was blasting and guess what? I couldn't remember a shit from last night . My phone was dead and i was running late so I grabbed a bite and went to school .after I came home I charged my damn phone and found some pics and videos that din't help me paint a picture from last night,but left me in utter confusion.So I tried calling you and you didn't pick up.....So,I WANT YOU TO TELL WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!!! ' I told at one stretch.

Naveed fell silent...

' Hello? ' I said annoyed

' Are you done , your highness? Will you let me speak?'he enquired

' go ahead '

' Firstly nothing bad happened last night, we just went to an arcade and you threw up after going on those bumpy rollercosters and so we bought some booze and started walking towards pinkberry because you wanted yougurt.but then I think painted something on the walls? i'm not sure and you made me sneak into some unknown building and you jumped into a rooftop pool like a fool and after that I have no idea what happened' he said

Now I felt far better knowing what happened last night. It seemed fun.like the times back in India when me and my buds use to steel booze from my parents and go to the roof.I miss those days.

' well, last night was fun or it seemed like it'

'it was! ' he said in a peculiar tone

I wish this memory existed in my brain.it seemed fun and it was with Naveed. Who knew this day would come ?

' hello? Lost in your thoughts again?Get a life dude ' Naveed mocked

' whatever! How was your day btw? Classes started right?

' how about I tell you about that over a cup of coffee ?'he said shyly

' um.i'll pass. homework.sorry' I said.

After a few minutes I hung up

*********************************

'EM?' I shouted knocking on her door

'Yo! Sup?' she said moving her headphones to her hands

'how was your day?'

'Screw that. Where were you last night? And who was that hot Asian with a goatee?'

'Where was I last night?a lot of places.he's my....uh.....'

Who was he?

'One of my classmates from school' I said after a brief silence and then I explained everything that happened last night

'Ooo sounds fun' Emily exclaimed

'It was'

Her phone beeped and suddenly she was blushing and doing her victory dance

'Uh.care to explain?' I asked annoyed

'My BTB just invited me to his party' she exclaimed

'BTB?' I was in utter confusion

'Boyfriend-to-be.it's tommorow night at his apartment'

'Thats cool.have fun' I said and turned to walk towards my room but she caught me midway

'And you're coming!' Emily said

'Uh.no !no I don't want to deal with alcohol anymore ' I cried

'Please pretty please! I just want someone to go with and you're the only one free and you have gorgeous caramel coloured skin' she protested

'Okay fine! I'll go to your stupid BTB's party' I growled

What? She complemented on my skin.

'That's the spirit.let's hit the mall now' she shouted with excitement.

'Raincheck? I'm meeting up with DAN?

'Dan who?' Emily enquired'The guy from across the hall' I said

************************

'Hey there,neighbor' his deep voice came hurdling into my ears

'Hey you' I went and hugged him.

Dan had invited me to go watch a movie with his friends and offered me a ride.

Turns out we have a lot in common.

We reached the theatre and his friends were waiting for him.

The first thing they asked him was if I was his girlfriend.jeez! No

He introduced me to them. They're were two brunettes ,a blondie and two guys

The guys were more welcoming than the girls,they were busy applying make-up and gossiping about the kardashians.

I took a seat next to Dan and the blond.

Turns out she is a college dropout.jee!

the movie was peaceful. We were watching 'first time'. Dan and I mocked it the whole time.these clicheeè RomCom movies are so lame. I hated them.but these girls sitting next to me were all going 'awww' . I wanted to go home.The movie was boring and predictable and I miss home. Dan noticed my discomfort and gave me a are-you-okay-look. I nodded and glued my eyes to the big screen or at least pretended to.

Finally after 90 freaking minutes.the movie was done.his friends offered us to stay for dinner but Dan refused,he knew that I wanted to go home. I broke into the fakest smile ever and mouthed a bye to everyone and got into Dan's car.

'Are you okay' Dan asked as he got into his car

'Yeah.totally.movie sucked though' I pouted

'Yeah.tell me about it,but I thought you'll be into such movies?'

'I'll be into these cheesy clichè movies because?

'Idk! You're a girl? '

'Well.i'm different'

'That you are' he said and his pale green eyes met mine for a brief time and his eyes twinkled like he was trying to tell something but couldn't.

I looked away into the endless road which was going to lead to a place suppose to be home. But it was not home and I knew I had taken a big leap in my inner battle against fear of living the unknown and I'm determined to drive away this fear completely.This isn't home then why is it not scary?
