WHO AM I

Chapter-12

Aram's POV

"Aram.....".

"Yeah".

"Arammm....".

"Mmm".

"Hmm..Aram...".

"Yup".

"Aram......".

"Hmm...".

"Ara-".

"Kat are you already going to spill it out? Or do you want a knock on the head?".

"NO!!! I will say". She answered to my threat.

"And where the hell is your so called better friend- John?". I asked.

"Right behind you". She answered me eyeing towards my back.

After I had came from the restroom, these guys have been acting weird, I don't know why. After her 10 mins small nap, Andrea woke up and told she would take an afternoon leave. Even though I insisted to drop her,only upon my gentleman-ism,  she said that she was fine and will walk to home. Okay then, that was fine with me too.

When I came back to classes John wasn't there. I guess he went to the washroom. And that's how I ended up being called Aram endless times by Kat. And still I don't know why she is pulling this act. There might be something. Considering she is hanging out more around John than me, that 'something' might be something that she wanted from me. That's when I remembered John and asked her about him and found out he is right behind me.

"Can you guys please share your little secret with me too?". I asked exasperatedly.

"It isn't a secret or anything". Kat said at last.

"Then what?". I raised a brow.

"Aram... That is... You know no? That An is her best friend and now that she had returned and-". John started saying instead of Kat.

"Wait, wait... I know it all. Can you guys please stop beating around the bush and come to the point?". I asked straight.

"Hmmm...". Kat deep sighed.

"Okay, Mr. Straightforward .... Here it is... See, I wanna go to her place this evening, I want to check on her and see if she's okay". Kat said.

"Still... Didn't get the point". I pointed out.

" The thing is... What if something happens like before if she sees me. See, I've got only you guys". She said making a puppy face.

"That means.....". I started and the bell rang at the same time.

"It means you will have to join us". She said packing her things.

"Join us in Kat's house. You have one full hour for yourself". John said.

"What are we going to do in her house this early?". I doubted.

"We will have to buy something for the dinner, because we will be busy talking". Kat said.

"No... Because we will be too lazy to do the dinner and the dishes afterwards". She corrected herself and gave me a triumphant smile.

Big sigh!!! They have already decided. Now do I have any say?? Of course not.....

So we left the college only to gather again at Kat's.

"What's wrong Aram?". John asked on the way to the home.

"Hmm?? Nothing". I said.

"Then why are you spacing out a lot recently?". He asked.

"Nothing man....".

"Really?". He said.

"No.... I think there is something that her friend is trying to hide. I don't think it's a good idea for us to go there right away". I said out my thoughts.

"Who? Andrea?? And what exactly?". He asked giving a little thought to what I had blurted out.

"  Yeah... And last time I checked I wasn't a mind reader or what, so I don't know what exactly is that. Moreover it's just a hunch". I said.

"But you always got the right hunches". He said.

"Yeah...". I said. A small smile formed on my face thinking of his stupidity.

Hmm.... Sigh!!! I'm going to accompany these 2 insane people and a total stranger this whole night.
Oh god!!! Please save me and PLEASE give me the strength to endure these psychos. Only god knows what awaits me there.

Andrea's POV

I think no one had noticed me moving back here, because no one had come to look at the old neighbour. Yeah, yeah... I know. Yeah, I had grown a lot the past three years and maybe they won't even recognize me even if they see me.

Wait... What if all my former neighbours had moved and now they are all new here?. Ha.. I don't know. Anyway it the last thing for me to worry over now.

Well, today I've met Katelyn and she said me that she is my friend, but I will have to check on it and see if my little bits of tiny memories are correct.
To add to the list, I was the one who did all the talking and in return I got nothing from her.

Yes, everything have been pretty shitty since the accident, not that I remember anything fully from before it.

I was so reckless even from the day-1 here. So, the first thing I got back here to this home, I went to the college to fill something on the absence. And met Kat and her bodyguard like looking friends. Haahh.. Let's not talk about guys. Luckily, her friends have nothing to do with me. I think I had really confused as well as shocked them. Either way, I didn't get anything I wanted, not even a word that would really assure me that she really was my friend. To add to the list, I passed out too. Maybe that's why she haven't told me anything.

Haah... It won't be any good if I keep passing out. I think one of her friends had carried me to the restroom. I had came into half senses when he carried me. I felt his broad chest and the heat radiating from it plus I could hear his heartbeat raising rapidly, or I felt so.

Ohh... Why am I simply thinking about him. Let's cut the crap out here.

Anyway, that's all. And I was left with one of her friends instead of her. Oh.... What I want is a shit lot of answers and there I was, left with some stranger.
                                       ......
                                        
What? Is that my doorbell ringing? Oh god!! I think it had rang a lot while I was so engulfed in my own thoughts. That's the problem with me. When I starts thinking I would fully into it and will become unaware of the surroundings. Big sigh!!!

But wait.... Who could it be ? No one knows I'm back and nobody knows me here, I mean I know nobody here. Plus I'm all alone by myself here.

Oh God !!! Who could it be?

So, I decided to tiptoe to the kitchen & to take the sharpest of all the knives. But the truth to be told, there was only one in all.

I peeped through the hole .I could see nobody. So I opened the door and looked if someone was outside. Still I couldn't find anybody. So I just closed the door for safety and took a step forward. Still, nobody. Suddenly I felt a movement from my backside. Then the events that followed were all spontaneous. All of a sudden I introduced the knife from under my shirt & put it on the neck of the one who was standing behind me & gave a strong kick right at his spot. Then I heard the guy speak through the clenched teeth: "John.. What the heck?". Or something like that by making a cross in front of his spot and slowly going down.

And then I realised two more presence on his back & when I turned I saw a frightened Kat and a more frightened her friend, John.

I think I had messed it up all, excellently.
