Chapter 5 - An enemy's letter

                 
{Humans are strange creation. They always find a way to get their things done. They can go to such an extent where they become so selfish that they can even opt for blackmailing an innocent,  harassing a powerless soul or just threatening a weak one,  but why go through all this tedious process when you can just sugar coat the with a bunch of lies}

                        Rachel's P.O.V

              I was alone at the bus stop this time... Again. Ughhhh... Pearl! Why can't  she ever get up on time? Lazy ass.  Mr.Cook is right sometimes, she should get an award for ALWAYS coming late.

       I was waiting for pearl for last 15 mins. If I had been an volcano,  I had been erupted till now. I was walking to and fro, waiting for that little devil.

        I saw Dimitri on the other side.  He looked at me. That person! We both were almost staring at each other for a minute. I was glaring rather. This man, anyone could guess, had no self respect and could hit on any girl he saw... Usually its Pearl but since I am alone today, its me. Someday I will seriously gauge his eyes out. Disgusting creature.

        I turned my face. He was waiting probably for Nathan. I saw Nathan hurrying up to him.  Nathan Miller.  Another badass. He had blue coloured eyes and blond hair.  He was comparitively thinner than Dimitri. While Dimitri craved for Pearl's attention, Nathan hated her from bottom of his heart.

      REASON?  Simply because when they were 12 years old,  Nathan bullied her and the innocent Pearl complained to the faculty.  He was suspended for about a month and from that day he wanted to take revenge. His hatred grew more  because of the sly taunts from his badass group, the constant upbraid and embarrassment which followed him up to high school. 

         Both Nathan and Dimitri exchanged looks. They were probably speaking about me,  I could make that out from their lipsing. I rolled up my eyes, giving them an annoyed look. And now they were walking towards me. Great! What a way to start a day! (Hey that rhymed!)

        "Rachel,  just give this letter to Pearl" Nathan handed me the letter.

       Strange.

       Awkward.

       What on earth is going on?

      "Why don't you hand it to her yourself ?" My reply was stern. I didn't want to be made a messenger. NOT by THESE guys atleast.

I was suspicious. The person who hated my best friend for years wanted me to give her a LETTER. What was it?  An ultimatum?.

       "As if she's going to take it from my hands." He gave me a crooked smile.

       I nodded.

       What? No harsh words against her? No abusive language? No lewd comments?  What happened to Nathan's asperity?  Why was he so polite?  It was as if his animosity disappeared. People change, but this fast? Something was definately cooking. 

     It was an enigma to me. Great! And finally Rachel becomes a messenger. By THESE guys too. Superb day!

     My thoughts were interupted by Pearl.

      "I'm soooo sorry, I slept late last night and this morning I was just couldnt get up and I had this weird dream so I snoozed the alarm. Then I kept thinking about it in the shower and..."

       "Its ok!" Was my usual reply. If I had not stopped her I knew that she would go on and on with her explanation. Dont need it... Again.

        We were walking towards the school. I told her about the whole incidence. She gave me a wary look. I handed her the letter.

      "Should I really open it?  I don't know,  I'm just feeling nervous"

       "Dude,  it's not a love letter.  Just open it! " I, too, was curious about it. 

    Meet me in cafeteria at 10:00 am sharp.

     "Okayyyy" Pearl said stretching the 'y'. "This is über strange.  I bet its one of his nefarious ideas"

      Always the Pessemist, huh?

       "Maybe he just wants to be friends." I gave her a convincing look. Not convinced myself though.

       "He hates me to death! What in the hell does he want from me?"

       "You will get your answers soon dearie. Relax.  I was just pointing out the possibilities. "

      She nodded. She didn't like those guys. Or this idea. Also she didnt want to be left behind in the lurch so we decided that we will be meeting those noobs together... Well she decided. I was dragged!
