Someone Somewhere Is Made For You

#21 She is angry with me

Michael.

"Are you going with Senior Ruhi?"

My insides twisted at her question.

Then her Mama's face appeared in front of me.

"Does it matter with whom I am going, Cinderella?" I gave her a stern look, making it clear that I don't like her intrusion.

"It's Ella!" She exclaimed. "I have been telling you from the first day you talked to me, it's Ella, Call me Ella! Even the staff call me that name, for a genius like you, do I have to repeat the same thing over and over again?" She got up, collected her books and walked out.

There was complete silence for a moment.

I realised that she is really angry with me.

"What... what was that?" Shreya turned to others.

"This is nothing," Angela shrugged. "You don't know her, she throws tantrums and she loves causing scenes," she said.

I disagree with Angela. The Cinderella I know is a positive and cheerful person. She looked so hurt and gloomy now.

I walked out of the classroom while someone put their hand around my shoulder.

"Are you going to the party with the beauty queen of CSE?" Sam asked me. "It's kind of hot news today,"

"Not again," I groaned. "I just wanted to return the favour I owe her, that's all." I said before he starts interrogating.

...and I wanted to prove to everyone that I am not together with Cinderella as well.

"You look troubled."

"I had never been talked to disrespectfully by anyone," I said, "but today, she did it in front of the whole class."

"They don't talk disrespectfully, but they do call you 'Head-weight' behind your back," Sam chuckled.

"I don't care," I said. "No one has ever dared to talk back to me directly till now," I said. "Cinderella just threw a tantrum and got angry because I called her full name, can you believe that!?"

"As a matter of fact, I can," Sam said seriously. "She was named Cinderella by her parents who were so much in love. They are divorced and do not have any contact anymore. It's understandable that she hates that name."

There was something like that?

I looked at him sideways. "How do you know so much about her? Right, you like her best friend."

"Yeah, I like Nisha." He said, and then turned to me. "So you better treat Ella nicely,"

"First Ruhi, now it's you. Why are people dragging me to get involved in their love life-" I stopped.

In front of us was a group of students hanging around a car and taking photos.

"Whoa! Man, it's a Maserati Quattroporte!" Sam said. "What is it doing here!?" He said.

"ELLA..."

The guy inside the car opened the door and stepped out. He was well dressed like a model and the clothes and style seemed literally taken out of a fashion magazine. He removed his shades and waved to a side.

"Ella,"

"Julian!" Ella looked shocked to see him, and then she noticed the student body around and hurried to his side.

Ella.

"What are you doing here!?" I asked him as soon as I reached near.

"You said its okay to hang out," he smiled and took my hand. "Come on, I talked to your mama-"
