The Invisible Heart

Chapter 1-As Clueless As A Porpoise

'No, no..... I'm not coming Al!'
'But why the bloody hell you can't?? '
'Cause I've got a test on Avagadro' s number tomorrow morning and I haven't  touched it yet and it's already 2pm!! '
'But it's not a topic worth spending your entire evening on, is it??'
'Of course! With your scientist parents' genes it isn't for you but for a girl as  clueless about it as a porpoise,it is worth spending the entire weekend!!!!!! '
' Ugh...... Trying to convince you is as fruitless as trying to uproot the entire FHS campus  using my pinkie!
So, okay,bye, see you tomorrow.. afternoon maybe?
' Yeah, sure. Bbye. Have fun,Al! '

Scarlett Brooke, the popular dark-haired Miss FHS  walks out of  the lecture tower while hanging up and the moment they see her, Shawn Ingalls, Jonathan Hunt and Stu Drudge gasp,' What a beauty!!!!! '

Smirking, Scarlett moves on.

It has been a month since Scarlett returned to the Faraday High School (FHS),from New York after 2 years but the most of the guys even today, draw in breath at a glance from her. No one seems to be able to have gotten used to her beauty, besides the group of friends she had before she had left for New York and reunited with on returning.

Now, as she walks towards the girls dormitory to pack up for the short trip, she feels a tinge of guilt for lying to Alison Wilson, Al, one of her best friends. But she shrugs it off.

She can't share the truth with her and she knows that so there was no other option. She couldn't attend that party Alison was inviting her to whatsoever.

As she finally reaches the girl's dorm, receiving comments throughout the way, she starts packing up her small backpack and when she finishes she waves goodbye to all her friends and goes over to the bus station.

--*--

At around 3pm, sitting comfortably in her bus seat, she prepares herself for what's coming on.

Oh,no!! Not Avagadro's number but for the humiliation and insult and cheap stuff that might find its way towards her today.

But just as she starts comforting herself, the bus comes to a stop and the driver shouts, 'The Drunken Yard passengers get down'

And then, Scarlett gets down.

She gets down and walks straight into the pub and guess what, she changes into a full-length black dress, sexy but not obscene.

By 6 in the evening she takes her place at a raised platform in the pub and starts singing 'Ruby' by Kaiser Chiefs,trying her best to ignore the whistles and comments,the alcohol-addicts throw at her.
Let it never be said
The Romance is dead
'Cause there's so little else
Occupying my head

There is nothing I need
except the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed
Doesn't matter to me

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Know what you're doing, doing, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

While she is supposed to visit a library  here in this town for studying Avagadro 's number, she is here at' The Drunken Yard' singing a Bar Song, like she always does when she's supposedly studying in the Cleeveton library.

At around 1 in the night she takes another bus and rushes off to the high school girl's dorm,after changing back into her own clothes.,while another singer takes over the shift.

By the time she reaches the dorm at 2 in the night, she is too tired to even spare a look at poor Avagadro or his number.So,she just falls on to the bed immediately to be enveloped into the darkness a second later.

   --*--

'Scarl, wake up!! '

' 5 mins Emma'

'But it's already 9,don't you have to go for the test?? '

Scarlett jumps out of the bed in a second, sweat starting to drench her entire body.

'Holy crap!!

I had to study for the test.

Why didn't you woke me up early Emma??'

Scarlett asks her roommate and also one of her besties, Emmelein Evans.

' I'm sorry!! Really very sorry Scarl, I hadn't seen your text asking me to wake you up early'

She says with an apologetic look in her eyes and that's enough for Scarlett to forgive her.

'Hmm, It's okay, I'll just get ready and get going. '

Scarlett starts towards the washroom but just as she thought Emma wasn't going to ask what she dreaded the most at the moment, she does exactly the same.

' Hang on, Scarl'

'Yeah? '

Scarlett answers trying to sound as clueless about what was coming as sure  she really was.

' You went to the Cleeveton library yesterday for studying, right, so why the ruddy hell do you need to study??? '

' Oh that! I actually came across a very nice thriller book out there and ended up spending the better half of my time there reading it, so couldn't finish off the entire concept'

'But.. 'Emma begins but Scarlett cuts her off in the middle,' Emma I am really very late now. Can we discuss that later? '

'Yeah, Sure and Best of luck ' Emma says, giving her another apologetic look.

With that Scarlett dashes into the washroom, hoping that by the time the whole group meets at lunch, Emma would've forgotten whatever she was going to ask cause Scarlett couldn't afford to let her secret out, not now.

In another 15 minutes, Scarlett is out running towards the test tower in a red-coloured tank top paired with black skinny jeans, looking gorgeous as she always does and ignoring the usual gasps and comments,dreading not the test which she was obviously going to just pass somehow but the lunch where Emma could announce IT for all putting her in God knows how many interrogation sessions.

All she can do is pray to God to somehow get her through the day with all her secrets intact.
