"When you have to go through EVERYTHING, to get that EVERYTHING."
It's so hard to be someone when you're confused about who or what you're. Tarun is never 'Who' he thought he would be. He has a secret which he is claimed of hiding from everyone. Nei...

Why did I feel like everybody was watching us. Me. The whole way to Mr. Moore's cabin walking right behind him. Hello? I'm not going to principal's office. Sometimes I wish I can just disappear. Or become invisible.
It's not that I'm never been here. Inside his office. But why suddenly I'm getting everything off-putting. Because I know someone bad is going to happen. Is he going to scold me? He is not my dad but my teacher. And teachers can scold you too. And secondly, his family too. My kind of uncle. He takes a sit behind his- not so large wooden with glass surface furnished-table. He also motions me to sit. And I do, trying to keep myself subtle. I think this is going to take long. He is peeling something from his table drawer and then close it.
"I hope you had your lunch, Tarun?" He asks, now busy on his phone now. He hadn't glanced at me yet. I might had finished my lunch if I weren't needed here. I nod, even though I know he isn't looking. This feels like one of those therapy session. By the way, I never attended any. He does look like a therapist may look. What am I even thinking?
He keep his phone down on the table. The phone buzzes again. A message. We both look at it. He flips the phone. Well. His gaze locks with mine as he crosses his fingers between us. Before he can say something I should.
"Tarun, see..."
"I'm extremely sorry, I know I was grounded. Hell, I still am. Mom will be super angry. You might be too. I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have done it. Going out of the house like that, without even telling anyone. I'll apologize to mom too. I messaged her. Told her I'd be home late. I mean I didn't tell her where I was. But I'm telling you now. I was at..."
"Abhimanyu's." He suddenly says.
I try to school my expression. How the hell did he know?
"You were at Abhimanyu's, right?" He ask it like a question but nods himself.
"Uh... yeah."
"Abhimanyu called me last night when you were with him. He told me you're safe. So I told your mom about it." I raised a brow. Mostly, because Abhimanyu did what? And second mostly, that was the reason when I woke up in the morning, there weren't any messages or calls from mom or him. When did Abhimanyu got the time to call him? He was with me every minute and then we slept. He must've done it while I was asleep.
"What was the reason you went outside?" He asks. Because that was the only place I wanted to be. Nowhere else.
"I wanted some fresh air." What?
"And I think, Abhimanyu's house has got a lot of fresh air?" He says. I noticed his lips twitched. Is he trying to control his smile?
"Well..." He continues. "Abhimanyu said he found you walking near his house. He asked you what happened and you said you didn't wished to go home, so he invited you over?" Is he telling me or trying to confirm the information Abhimanyu gave him, I don't know.
