Chapter 8. The pot of drama is boiling hot. Enjoy.

*TAYLOR'S POV*

It's 16 July, it's been 2 weeks and Anagha keeps pretending like nothing happened. Right now we are now in our last class of the day, science. After the class is over, Miss Jackson pulls us aside to tell us something.

(Bold is Taylor, normal is Anagha)

(Miss Jackson)"Girls there is some bad news."

"There is no such thing as bad news, ma'am. Just the way you perceive it."

"I think Miss Jackson means we are gonna perceive it as bad."

(Miss Jackson)"Caleb is pressing charges."

"Who?"

(Miss Jackson)"Caleb."

"Who is Caleb?"

(Miss Jackson)"That guy who forced himself on you?"

"Oh, him." You could hear it in the way she said 'him' that she didn't like him.

(Miss Jackson)"Yeah, the one you said hit himself. He is claiming that you punched him and pressing charges against you."

"Okay." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

(Miss Jackson)"Okay? You might go to juvenile."

"Calm down, ma'am. I didn't even touch him. No need to worry."

(Miss Jackson)"The court proceedings are on Monday. You need to get a lawyer."

"Who is his lawyer?" She says, running her left hand through her hair. I'm gonna swoon.

(Miss Jackson)"Mr Martin."

"What's his last name?"

(Miss Jackson)"His last name is Martin."

"You mean Mr Lucas Martin?"

(Miss Jackson)"Yes. How did you know that?"

"Just saw his name somewhere in a newspaper. Bye." She just left, right in the middle of a conversation with Miss Jackson.

(Miss Jackson)"Honestly if she was anyone else I would give her detention for being so rude." And goes away.

What did Miss Jackson mean if she was someone else, did Anagha tell all the teachers about her mental health issues? That would be way easier than hiding it from everyone. I go to the dorm in a complete daze. I reach there and see Casey on her mobile probably chatting with her boyfriend. "Casey, did you see Anagha somewhere?", I ask. "She said she was going to the music room and took her guitar", Casey replied. I say,"Thanks." I go to the music room and open the door to see Anagha so engrossed in playing the guitar, she doesn't even notice me entering the room. She is playing Wonderwall by Oasis. She isn't singing though. I sat down on the chair beside her when she sees me. She smiles but doesn't stop playing. When the song is over I say,"You are into rock?".

(Normal is Anagha and bold is Taylor)

"Not really. I prefer dance pop over everything."

"You dance?"

"Nah.(pause) Do you play any instruments?"

"Yeah, I play the guitar too."

"Really?" It's not a question more like confirmation.

"Yeah. Anyway, did you tell Miss Jackson about you being bipolar and stuff?"

"How did you know that too?"

"Miss Jackson said something about if you were different she would give you detention."

"She did?"

"Yeah."

"I did tell her. She was really triggering me."

*Anagha's POV*

The 21 hours flight was exhausting. I need sleep now. I check my watch, it's 9:30 pm now. I'll take a shower and sleep. I had come here before with my parents to see the school but now it looks only dark. I think everyone is sleeping so the lights are off. I need sleep so badly. I hear footsteps behind me and see someone whom I guess is a teacher. She tells me that her name is Miss Jackson and she has to check my bag. What the fucking hell?

(Anagha)"Is everyone's bags checked?"

(Miss Jackson)"No."

(Anagha)"Then?"

(Miss Jackson)"Just all new students."

(Anagha)"There is nothing in my bag. I came through airport security, there is no need to check my bag, ma'am."

(Miss Jackson)"There are some things which may be allowed through airport security that aren't allowed here."

(Anagha)"I read the rules, ma'am. I don't have any of those things."

(Miss Jackson)"I'm still going to have to check your bags."

(Anagha)"You can't, ma'am."

(Miss Jackson)"If you don't have any of the restricted items, then let me check your bags."

(Anagha)"I have trust issues, ma'am."

(Miss Jackson)"What has that got to do with anything?"

(Anagha)"I won't be able to trust you, ma'am and you have a teacher who you trust. But I won't even believe anything you say just because of this, only because of this. My trust issues are really high and just anything can break my trust, even the most trivial things. Because of that I struggled with depression, anxiety and many other things and not having my parents support made everything worse. (Yawns with mouth covered) Sorry, I'm tired. I haven't slept in 21 hours."

With that I leave because I know she's either hella confused or really sorry and either way I'm good. I find my dorm and see the last bed empty. Thank whatever there is to thank for this cause I ain't sleeping in the middle beds or the ones close to the door, basically I got the best bed cause hello, the corner bed. I keep my stuff under the bed and brush my teeth and go to bed.

(Flashback over)

*TAYLOR'S POV*

(Bold is Taylor, normal is Anagha)

"So yeah, I was just heading to the gym. See ya later."

What? She just came here, played one song, made small talk with me and left? Oh god she is unpredictable. I can't stop thinking about those eyes when I realized I've sitting here for an hour. I go to the dorm and see Alexis is there now and I just chat with her about nothing.

Hey, a lot of stuff happened in this chapter. Hopefully you all got a glimpse into Anagha. The next chapter makes some progress into their relationship. Don't forget to drop a review:)
