A/N: * cautiously peaking out from the curtains* Ahem! Hey! Guys! Wotcha' doing?! Hw'z u all? Anyways, I'm extremely really sorry for taking soo freaking long! It's not my fault! You see, some of the times, I found myself, staring stupidly at my computer screen and wondering," What's next?" And some of the times, I found my fingers typing on the keyboard like there's no tomorrow.
But let's put those stupid things( ME and my stupidity) aside and begin with our story. Now, shall we?
Pre-cap Time!
From the beginning, we saw how Bella get's promoted in her 11th grade and met the hottest with dark emerald boy- The Edward Cullen. From that day onwards, she begin to ignore him and his mere existence, thinking that he's just like any other hottest guy " Player", " Egoistic," and a " Womanizer". She met his other sibling , his brother- Emmet Cullen. Who became Bella's Computer lab partner and they both became close friends, beside Angelia and Kiara, Bella's two best friends.
O-kay! So? I guess, you all got the idea. Now on with the story! ;)
Enjoy folks!
P.s; Thanks to those who have favorite my story and added them to their list. And also thanks to all those people who are enjoying my stories and liking them. ( Even though, you don't review. ;)...) I hope you still think of them enjoyable!
Thank you a lot! Guys! You really DO make my day! xD
Disclaimer: Really? Do I HAVE to say it?! C'mon! Have mercy! *Sob* ( Well... I DO own Angelia, Sebastian, Peter and Kiara. *Smirk*! )
SICK
Every day, I went to school. I tried to do what I had promise myself to do. It was always the same routine for me :
Go, ignore, come back.
Next day ...
Go, ignore and come home.
Repeat...
This is what I had been doing this for like past four months.
I thought it would be easy to ignore his presence. His mere existence.
But boy! How wrong was I?!
Everywhere I went, everything... very freaky thing remind me of him.
In school, it was almost impossible to ignore the pull of his eyes.
Intense gaze.
In outside, sometimes we met. I just saw him before he does and believe me, I tried to hide away from him but something happens that it made it impossible to ignore him.
In house, Charlie talk about his parents reputation in forks. His family empire, his ancestors and everything. His dad's father, his grandpa Richard had given the entire empire to Edward's father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen. His father is going to give everything to Edward when he will marry.
But I guess, Dr. Cullen didn't know what his son does at the school.
Their is this girl, which according to Emmet, is his First crush and love, Tanya Denali.
I wish I could say that she is very kind, humble, selfless, beautiful, sweet, cute and most of all - had a very kind heart.
But I guess, in real life things doesn't work the way we all thought or imagine them to be.
I must say Tanya Denali is a very selfish, arrogant, ugly and self-centered person that I had ever met.
It's not because of my hatred towards Edward.
No!
That would be very unfair.
If you see her, the way she behaves, the way she talked to everyone…. you will hate her too.
Anyways, moving on from the Cullen's gossiping to the School schedules and routine workload.
Today, we all having our first class test.
Multimedia Test.
Mam told us all to sit idly, so that we can give our best in this, said," You'll be prepared about how you will attend your boards in the next year. "So, as for now, I'm on the same spot and Emmett is the one who had moved. Says, "Partner? I'm gonna give this test in such a way, that I'll shocked everyone!"
And with that, he was on his way, grinning from ear to ear.
But I dreaded and feared that he's going to fail.
Or Maybe Not…
Actually with him, nobody could tell anything.
Anyways, we all just have to make a 'HTML' coding on the computer and execute it. Like making a MS access table. It just have to showed on the website.
It was the second period and I was already doing it. But in my mind, one side was remembering the codes and the process and other mind was remembering and playing my favorite songs. Back to back… LOL!
Like right now, my mind was playing 'Supermassive Black hole by Muse' in my mind.
Uh-huh?
"Ooh,baby don't you know i suffer ?.."
First start with the HTML tag.
"Oh, baby can you hear me moan ? "
Then with the header and title tag.
"You caught me under false pretenses "
Then body tag.
"How long before you let me go ? "
I felt the same symptoms: my cheeks erupt in heat and my pulse rate spiked but I ignored them with a heavy sigh and focus on my test.
"Ooh, you set my soul alight,
Ooh, you set my soul alight "
Image src and size of the image. Body background and background color.
" Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive "
I bit on the inside of my cheeks. Thinking what color should I choose, Bronze or Dark Green?
"I thought i was a fool for no one "
Ahaa! Bronze!
"But, ooh, baby I'm a fool for you "
Then start with the table tag.
"You' re the queen of the superficial "
First table border size, color and cellspacing and cellpadding.
"And how long before you tell the truth ? "
Then go on with the table header and table data. Starting with Table border tag, table data, adding the things we want to show on that table and ending with the Table data and table border tag simultaneously.
"Ooh, you set my soul alight,
Ooh, you set my soul alight.
Glaciers melting in the dead of night,
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive.
Glaciers melting in the dead of night,
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive.
Glaciers melting in the dead of night,
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive.
Ooh, you set my soul alight,
Supermassive black hole.
Supermassive black hole.
Supermassive black hole."
When complete with the whole table data, close the table tag.
"Glaciers melting in the dead of night,
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive "
Then proceed to close body tag-
"Ooh, you set my soul alight "
- then title tag and then head and lastly HTML tag. Then save it on the desktop with your name, class with an extension of .html.
"Supermassive black hole "
Finish!
"Supermassive black hole "
I stretched in my seat, my toes reaching the chair leg in front of my own bench which I lightly grazed with my shoe and slumped low in my seat.
"Supermassive black hole "
I cross my arms across my chest and sighed in relief.
"Supermassive black hole "
And I look up to my left and froze.
Ohmygod!
Green eyes twinkled in amusement as they bore into mine. Bronze hair ruffled from the wind that was coming through the open door.
"Mr. Cullen?" Mrs. Pam called. His head jerked away at the voice, shocked. I gulped and slumped even lower in my seat, wishing to disappear in that very seat.
I heard footsteps rounding the corner to my cabin and from the corner of my eyes, I saw him looking at my face. He looked… apologetic?
"Ms. Swan?" I suppressed a sigh and looked up. Mrs. Pam was looking down at with a small smirk. At which I blinked innocently. Way too innocently. I might add.
"Ms. Swan? Can you do me a favor?" Her eyes shot past my head, smiled and focus on my face. I nodded sadly knowing that she is going to make me re-do the test.
"Go to my desk and check the errors in the document."
Or not.
Surprised, I get up slowly and walked towards her desk as if in daze. I sat at the bench across her chair and turned the laptop towards me.
Ok.
So, here's the thing.
It was an English Novel but it was just a mere draft, in my point of view. I could see the red line and green line in each and every paragraph.
I frowned.
I admit that I want to be a novelist but that doesn't mean that I'm very good at Grammar.
"Is everything OK, Ms. Swan?" I looked at her, standing at the second row near the servers and looking at me. Almost every head inside the class looked up at my name and I resist the urge to slumped low in my seat. At that moment, what I thought was the best, I focused on the computer screen and slowly nodded my head.
"All-right." I relaxed in my seat as I felt the pressure of every gaze lifted and diverted elsewhere.
Except one.
It lingered on me, assessing me, calculating me perhaps. A gaze which was soo unsettling that the urge to look up and met it directly was unbearable.
But I resisted.
I read the draft in front of me. It look quite interesting.
I clear out every error with the right click of my mouse and sorted out. As I was doing that another song pop up in my mind this time.
I must tell you that every time, I might happen to be writing my own stories, I happen to listen to the songs.
So, that's why this time, I'm struggling to keep my focus on the work I've been given.
This time it was 'What goes around comes back around by Justin Timberlake'.
Oh man! I'm dead.
"Hey, girl! Is he everything you wanted in man "
Next paragraph.
"You know I gave you the world,
You had me in the palm of hand "
I shook my head slightly as I struggled to keep my focus. I could hear the song playing in my mind as the background music and I put my elbow on the table to balance my head with the palm of my hand.
"He did it with the stick of it. But perhaps, it was too late."
Hmm.. Too late, Indeed.
" 'It was-" Correction. I clicked on the word and correct it.
"What goes around, goes around,goes around comes all the way back around "
Next line.
" 'NO! I don't think so. He-' " Clicked on the word and correct it.
"Don't wanna think about it"
Hmm?
"Don't wanna talk about it "
About him? Hell NO!
"I'm so sick about it "
Heck yeah!
"Can't believe it's ending this way "
Oh! NO Shit Sherlock..
" 'But he could have- ' " Clicked and correct it.
"Just so confuse about it"
Yup!
"Feeling the blues about it "
Hell yeah!
"I just can't do without you"
Who the hell are we talking about?
Intense gaze. My inner voice informed.
Oh!
I felt his gaze and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I stretched my arm a bit and a pen rolled down from the desk and fall on my left side. I bend down to get it when my eyes fell on the mirrors, which were situated behind my chair and I was shocked to see that Edward had his head situated on his folded arms on his bench and was watching me very intently.
"Can you tell me is this fair? "
Yeah! God! So, tell me?! Is this fair?
I strengthened up and shifted to my right and slumped low in my seat so that I was hidden behind the laptop screen.
"Is this is the way it is going down ?"
By looking at the paragraph, it's looks like it.
"Is this how we say good bye ?"
Maybe…
"Shouldn't have matter when you came around"
Oh! I don't even bother, if I were you.
"That you're gonna make me cry "
Hmm.. Too bad, soo sad.
"Now, It's breaking my heart to watch you turn around "
Oh! Forget about it.
"Cause I know that you liven' a lie "
LOL!
"But that's ok baby, coz' until time, you'll find "
Interesting…
"What goes around, goes around, goes around comes all the way back around. "
The bell rang, indicating the end of the period. I sighed as I saved the document and closed the laptop screen and stood up. Everyone was filing out of the class as I round the cabin and reached for my books. I put my left hand to my forehead and squeezed it lightly as I felt pain shot throughout it. It was nothing major but it still made me feel like nauseate. I rubbed my forehead lightly as I walked up the aisle.
"So, Partner? How'z your test?" Emmett come up from beside me with Angelia and Kiara towing behind him.
"Piece of cake." Angelia and Kiara sang before I could say something. I rolled my eyes as they all burst out laughing. I walked out of the class with them following behind me. But I stopped short before I resume my walk.
Why?
Because Edward was leaning against the door frame and chatting with his group and with Angela. I held my head down as I was about to pass the threshold. I was almost successful when he leaned back a little and I lightly brushed his arm with my shoulder.
Yes! He is tall enough to tower above me and I was like… reached just near his biceps.
But holy crow!
A wave of electric current passed through him and I shuddered lightly. My skin heat up and my heart thudded unevenly.
Oh GOD!
"Sorry." I whispered as I hurried passed him and walked up the staircase as quickly as possible.
I reached the class and it was then I drew a deep soul cleansing breath.
Don't be such a baby. I chided myself.
It's nothing. I nodded to myself as I made my way to my seat.
My friends came and took out their due books for the period while I stare straight ahead. The class start and I tried to focus.
But in between the period, my hand shot up to rub my temples and I grimace in pain.
What the hell is wrong with me? I thought to myself, confused and irritated.
The pain lasted just for a minute before it dull down. I folded my arms up on the bench as I leaned forward and rested my chin on them.
But I guess, I did a huge mistake for the day.
Because from then onwards, my cheeks flamed but at the same time, my stomach clenched uncomfortably.
And it was, by all means, not in a good way.
I tried to listen to the lecture but I was battling in vain.
"So, You see. The third world war was about to begin but as the soviet union drew back their ships from the cuba, it-," Another pain shot through my temples and I close my eyes for a moment to bear it.
Uhhhh!
I open them as I focus on the lecture again.
"In India, after the partition. The Congress party decided to-," I stopped breathing as another pain shot through my temples. But this time it was more painful.
"In 1971, when Indira Gandhi announced ' Emergency' in the country, every one-," I swallowed hard as I felt something sour down my throat.
"In 1977, Indira Gandhi declared that the ' Emergency' was over." I took a deep breathe as I felt my cheeks redden even more and I could feel the gaze of the said person. But that too was all forgotten when I felt a bile rising up in my throat and I felt my mouth pooling in saliva.
"After the defeat..." I stopped listening to it as I took slow deep breath to pass out the nausea.
I'm going to go home. Right after the bell rang for the next period. I decided as it started to became too much.
All I want to just go somewhere, curled up in a ball and never come out of it. Every part of my body hurts, as if someone had beaten me very badly. A cool wind passed from the open doors and I shivered slightly.
I flinched in my arms as I heard the bell goes for the break which sound too loud for my ear drums. I waited as everyone filed out of the room, including my friends and then I tear out a page and wrote a note to Angelia.
Dear friends,
Don't worry or do anything reckless (especially you ,Em.)
Not feeling good.. Going home..
Will call you all..
T.c,
Bella
I folded it and put it in her next period copy. I picked up my bag and walked out of the class to the school nurse. I pulled up my hood and wrapped my arms around myself as I shivered involuntary from the cold winds that blew passed me. I reached the nurse room and entered inside the warm room.
"Mrs. Cops ?" She looked up at my voice and her eyes widened in Alarm.
"Whoa-What happened, Dear?" She come forward and begin to ask questions.
"Oh! I don't know. Just a headache, feeling cold, nauseate and every part of my body hurts as if been beaten up very badly." Her eyes widened even further, if that's possible.
"Oh, No! Dear! I'm afraid but it looks like you're very sick. I'm writing down a leave for you and you should go to the hospital immediately." I cringed but I guess she didn't notice as she hastily searched for the pen and paper. Within two minutes, I was out of the school and gazing at my surroundings in horror.
Oh God! I cried as I looked up at the sky and to that super power that stood above us- The God. Are you really trying to kill me? I thought angrily. Uh! I guess you're doing a very good job!
The rain was devouring the parking lot as if thousands and thousands of buckets of full of water are pouring down from the sky.
Or from heaven.
Or from hell.
Whichever you prefer, my lord.
Oh wow! Now I'm delirious. I snorted at my own joke.
Ok! Then! Just watch me! I thought back to him, determined.
I braced myself as I walked out from my make shift shelter with my hoddie covering my head but it was of no use. I was drown in just mere seconds.
Goooooood! Thumbs up!
I sighed heavily as I trudged forward whilst shivering violently. I walked for what felt like an hour before I tripped on something, maybe on my own shoes and fall down. I tried to get up but I couldn't felt anything in my body left out. Every part of my body hurts and I didn't wished to move any of them. Besides, the ache in my forehead was too much and It felt peaceful just lying in here.
If this is Hell, then I'll take it.
This is what I thought as I heard tires screeching to a halt and sound of door been opened and closed.
"Bella?" I heard an angel called out to me frantically as I heard footsteps splash against the wet road.
Ok-kay ! Scratch that. IF this is Heaven, then I'll take it.
I just took a deep breath to prepare myself to respond but I.. just.. couldn't.. wouldn't… ..want….. to…..move.
I felt something soft but strong picked my head up and it felt as if my head been cradled in the crook of something.
"Bella! Please, open your eyes. Please. Bella? Please!" The voice sounded like velvet and it seems it was pleading to me but the things is: I don't want to move.
"Bella?" The voice was starting to sound very very worried. I tried to open my eyes but my eyes felt like sandpaper. But I guess it seems to levitate the worry from the person because I heard a deep sigh and the slightly warm air made me shivered.
Why in the world did the air was making me shivered? I hate shivering.
But the darkness was already surrounding me and I was comfortable in it.
So, I let it embrace me.
The last thoughts of mine was the worry.
Did I'm going to land in hospital or my bed?
And with that, I was out.
Just two words:
REVIEW PLEASE!
Love yuh,
S.P. Tripathi
