'I prefer the darkness than the light' It was a quote that had influenced me ever since I was a child ... However not in the right way I guess.
Being a loner and socially awkward isn't a good thing, at least not nowadays.
I was on my desk, having lunch in my classroom while so many children went out to hang around however my story was pretty different.
It pretty much went like this -
My name is Heer, my age is 15 and I'm an Indian student who currently studies in Ebismis High, Delhi ... And that all is so far which is normal about me(except my name's gender, I'm a boy, not a tomgirl, don't judge me...).
I'm somewhat of an unlucky pervert (That is what they label me as), I'm a big time loner and a social outcast with only a few acquaintances and my most probable future career would be a NEET(Not the doctor one...).
I ate my lunch quietly on my bench as I waited for the bloody break to end.
Suddenly Jatin appeared out of nowhere and leant on my desk, his tie resting on the food of my lunchbox.
He looked as suspicious as ever, with a grin on his face."Heer, Don't you ever talk to people?",
I sighed, His moves won't work no matter how much he tries."I've said countless times that I'm not interested in joining your club.",
He didn't seem so surprised."C'mon, You might become famous once again if you hang around a handsome and popular man like me!",
I wasn't so sure about his statement and I wish he wasn't as well."You are mediocre, Ask any person and they'll tell you that you dream too much.",
He walked back and slammed his right hand against the midst of his chest as if a spear pierced his chest."How could you say such things to a king like me.",
I was surely disgusted by his narcissism, I rested my head in hands."Then why don't you go and screw another king and not me?",
Now Jatin seemed seriously humiliated, His grin turned into a scorn as he tried to stop himself from crying."How could you say that ... You little hopeless Lowlife!",
He got on my nerves and I folded my right hand into a fist as I got up from my bench."You wanna take it outside, huh?"
He got scared by my threat and calmed down."I'll see you next time." And he stormed off from the class and so, I continued eating my lunch.
Ever since I beat the bullies from Higgsworth, The other school nearby, Every student has been trying to keep their distance from me and I must say that ... I'm enjoying it to the core!
Once again, some random hand landed on my desk, however, no tie feeding on my lunch...
I looked up and saw Harshit, another member of Jatin's club."Hey, bro! we need members and you will really be perfect for our club."
I stared at his hand and ignored his comment and continued eating my tasty lunch made by my benevolent mother.
My lack of interest came to his notice as he stopped leaning on my desk."Well, join at least for the sake of our friend, Samanya."
Samanya? How was he even aware of that name? Thousands of questions started to flood my brain.
Two years ago, A good friend of mine - Samanya, had committed suicide in our school for some reason. However, no one from the school even remembered the fact that she had existed and studied in our school, let alone know that there was a suicide over here.
I looked at Harshit's face."How the hell do you remember her when you just transferred this year?"
He laughed and once again, started leaning against my wobbly desk. His weight would definitely break it."Join us and see for yourself."
His offer finally started to interest me ... after four months."Alright but..."
"But what?"
I blinked and stared directly into his eyes, unsettling him a bit."Say you love me and then kiss me."
Harshit kept on stepping back till he stumbled upon a desk behind him, he totally fell for my revenge for the pain they gave for four months straight."What the heck?"
I started to laugh, He really fell and ... so bad."Just kidding."
I sighed."But you better surprise me."
He stopped and looked at me, I guess he didn't hear me."What?"
"Nothing."
"Trrr Trrr Trrr..." The bell had rung.
My lunch wasn't finished and due to these club recruiters, I'm gonna starve in the next periods...
I folded my wrists and got up angrily."When the heck would you people stop bugging me! Just bugger off."
The children who started to come inside ... noticed me along with my words and I knew I was in trouble.
Harshit kept on staring foolishly at me, He had a class to go back to ... And he forgot to."Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
Our class teacher - Mrs Rina, had entered the room ... And now I was in trouble...
I sat once again on my bench and covered my face with my hands and it didn't much long for Harshit to notice that something was wrong.
"Harshit, don't you have a class to rush to?"Harshit paused for a while and his face became covered with sweat.
He slowly started to turn around, like if the devil stood behind him ... and that was nearly correct."Yes, mam! I'll gladly run away."
Mrs Rina was one of the seven mysteries of our school, or more like the known mystery. She's had many rumours about her and mostly very, very scary ones and I guess it might be true as she is known to be the scariest teacher in our school.
She folded her arms and stood in front of us."Come to me after school."
And that was the end of our conversation.
The school was over but ... My hearing was going to begin, I walked to the staff room and I knew that I was really, really in trouble ... After all, I abused in class when Mrs Rina was there.
I reached the staffroom. I was in front of the door and 'every dog has his days', I opened it and walked the plank ... But there was no one inside, it was completely empty...
Am I being framed? Is Rina really going to do something to me now that nobody is around? I felt goosebumps running all over my body, I walked to where Rina's desk was."Hello! Is anyone here? Rina mam are you here?"
"Hey Heer, Long time no see."
The voice seemed so familiar as if I had longed to hear for years, I turned around and I just ... couldn't believe my eyes."Sa ... Samanya!"
She stood there, In our school uniform, She definitely had grown since two years and ... there was a gun in her hands. A very suspicious smile on her face which really made me panic."Heer, Would please ... die for me?"
I started to walk backwards till I hit Rina's desk. Is this the end for me? Such a questionable and laughable ending! She lifted her right hand which held the pistol and aimed it towards me."What is Happening?"
She pulled its barrel and now, she was definitely ready to fire. I couldn't even gather my courage to move a single muscle."You'll find out but ... for now, Good Luck."
What was she talking about! But now it's too late, She had ... already squeezed the trigger...
