Behind Everything...

Chapter 17

"Get away!", someone yelled and quickly I looked at the direction and saw a bicycle coming towards me with a speed of a bullet. Soon I lost balance as the bicycle almost about to hit me but it manages to move on the other direction. Due to the rain, the break didn't really help and it slipped in the wet road, resulting in losing its balance.

"Ouch", I almost yelled in pain as both of us fall but without wasting any time I got up and searched for that voice but it was no more. "Are you seriously blind?", a familiar voice came behind me and I looked at the person who was still lying on the road. After removing the helmet, my face again went from worried to the unpleasant one. "Why are you here?", irritatedly I asked her. "I could ask you the same", her reply comes. The rain didn't stop but I didn't care. I was worried about Mum. 

"What's wrong?", she asked in her same rough tone. I wanted to ignore her but before I could do that, words left from my lips, "I feel like Mum was calling me. Probably I was just imagining things. ", I don't know why but I just vomit everything before her. I thought she would laugh at me and mock for being so worried but she looked at me and said, "Just go home and get some rest. It's raining heavily and you're wet. You'll catch a cold soon". 

I looked at her and tried to protest but soon the rain narrowed and said, "No, it's fine. I don't wanna miss school". She raises her one eyebrow at me with her hands rolled up over her chest, she said, "You're a nerd. I hate nerds". "But I'm not a nerd!", quickly I protested her. I don't know why but I didn't like the idea of being called 'a nerd'. I know it sounds like I felt bad that she thinks I'm a nerd whereas it's true but how can I admit that? 

She looked at me with a blank face and said, "Yes you are". This girl really gets out the worst in me. I hate to admit it but I got irritated by the way she treats me. He treats me like I'm nothing whereas the whole school is dying over me. She brushes off her jeans a little and soon was about to hit the paddle of her bicycle. "No, I'm not a nerd. You can't call me a nerd", I stated stubbornly. I know it's very awkward that I'm trying hard to make her believe that I'm not a nerd but of course it's so uncool being a nerd. Isn't it?

The rain was heavily poured and made our clothes completely wet. I looked back at her and she was too checking her bicycle. She really loves her bicycle more than anything. 

She didn't utter a word but she adjusted her side-view mirror and hit her paddle hard and moved a bit ahead. "Hey!", I yelled behind her. I know this is totally stupid but this place was a bit creepy. First that mysterious guy, then a sudden change in weather and after that the calling of Mum. She stops her bicycle with her legs and looked at me with an irritated face, "Now what's wrong?". I was feeling a bit embarrassed to ask but I know she would yell at me if I didn't answer her quickly. "I was just thinking...", I tried to speak but I couldn't. "Hey, nerd what do you want just speak up quickly. I don't wanna get late", she said.

Quickly I responses to her, "Hey, I told you not to call me a nerd", I told her. She clicked her helmet and this time she just another hit the paddle when I grab her backseat with my hand. "Hey, hey wait please", I pleaded to her but clearly she was not in a mood to listen to me. "Look, I don't want to get late for school and if you don't let me go now, I won't hesitate to punch you", she threatened me. Her eyes seem like they were set on some fire and again I hate to admit that she is scary.

Without wasting any more time, I quickly get up to the backseat of her bicycle. She again pushed the paddle hard but then looked through her side-view mirror. When she saw me she quickly turned around to face me. Quickly I gave her my nervous smile and tried to hide my face with my bag but she said, "What do you think you're trying to do?". I gave her a small nervous chuckle but when she gave me her more stern look, I give up. "I thought we study in the same school...?", I know it sounded like more a question but she gave me a confused look and then I finally told her my true intentions. "So I want you to drop me", confidently I said.

Her eyes widen up at my statement and she became a bit reddish as she said, "And why would I do that?". Oh my god, she is a pure devil. I don't want to be with her but I also don't want to be at this creepy place so I finally vomit everything in front of her, "This place is very creepy and I don't want to stay here so can you take me with you please?".

Her mouth hung open when I told her about all the thing and I thought she would burst into a laugh but slowly she turned around and finally pushed the paddle.

At school

Thankfully we reached in time and surprisingly today we didn't have that adventure which I had yesterday with Veronica. As she parked her bicycle I couldn't help but ask her, "When did you sneak into the school". She looked at me in confusion and I could help but mentally laugh at her expression. She looks very cute when she embarrasses herself or when she gets terrified or when she just simply gets confused and give that look. 

"I mean how did you get your bicycle?", I asked her. Her expression soon changes into a blank one. I really hate it whenever she gives her stern looks or blank looks. It either scares me or confuses me more. "It's none of your business", she said quietly and before I could ask her anything more she just leaves. 

It was our English class. Quickly I went to my sit and as soon as I settle myself, I saw Ethan. I waved at him and he waved at me back. Ms Violet is a charming woman but she really gets angry as she hates when we avoid or do not take her teaching properly. I dig myself in my English book when soon the principal asks everyone to assemble in the hall. 

Quickly I notice the girl for whom I was craving since the moment I saw her. Christina. She wore a very pretty purple dress with red flats. As I went to her, she just ignored me. I was surprised by her sudden reaction. I understood as soon she gave me a sad look. She must be upset because of yesterday's incident. I tried to grab her but I just missed it as the hall gets crowded.

After sitting on the almost corner of the room, I hardly get the view of her. I tried to crane my neck when suddenly my head got hit by something hard. "Ouch".
