Hey guys, note that the starting of this whole story is in Taylor's pov. It will be like that till Anagha's side is built up and it will take some time. Anyway enjoy chapter 4.
*Taylor's POV*
(LAST CHAPTER, "Anagha, what are doing now?)
I guess I should explain the sleeping positions. When you enter the dorm from the door, on your left side first bed(closest to the door) will be Casey's, second mine and third Emily's. On your right side first bed will be Emma's, second Alexis and third Anagha's. On Anagha's bed you can only go from the bed's side closest to the door cause the bed is pushed to the bathroom's wall. Okay back to the present. Emma has asked,"Anagha, what are you doing now?" I see an opportunity and say,"What are you guys shouting about in the middle of the night?", while getting out of the bed.
(Italics is Emma, bold Taylor and normal Anagha)
"Anagha was about to tell me that."
"I wasn't."
"You were."
"Nope."
"Yes."
"No."
"You were."
"Nuh."
"Stop. You don't want to wake up everyone else. Alexis will wake up if you continue that. (pause) She sleeps lightly."
"Okay."
"Let's go to the couch."
(After sitting on the couch)
"So continue Anagha."
"Continue what?"
"Telling us why you were just sneaked in at 3 am."
"I was not telling you that."
"Then start now."
"NO."
"Why not? You have something to hide?"
"No..."
"Then why are we still arguing?"
"Cause I'm not saying... (shaking head) It's late, I'm going to sleep and this didn't happen."
"It just did and you aren't going nowhere."
(Fake snoring coming from Anagha's bed)
"She doesn't wanna talk now. You should leave it."
"I just don't want her to get in trouble because of this."
"Neither do I. But ask her later and slowly ease into it. I thought you knew who to do this stuff."
"I do. Just having a little sleeplessness this second night away from home."
"You mean you're homesick."
"Yeah."
"You know we all are here for you. You can talk to me anytime."
"I know. Thanks, it means a lot."
"Anytime."
We both go to bed. I wake up at 7 because of my alarm. I see Anagha has gone for a run and everyone's alarm start ringing. Emily, Alexis and Casey shouting at actually nobody to shut it off. I feel like I've been here forever but it's just the 2nd day of school. I go to get ready for today. After getting ready and finding the books I'll need today, I see Anagha coming in all sweaty again. She removes her airpods and goes to get ready. I start wondering what she was doing to come in so late last night. I stop after the idea that she is a spy sent from India to gather intel to bomb Toronto, comes to my head. I see Anagha coming out wearing the school uniform and running to the door, running back to her table combing her hair and running back out. I think she must eat breakfast before the classes. I iron my uniform very slowly to kill time and wear it. I am kinda feeling hungry so I decide to pick up an apple to eat before class. I go down, take an apple and see Anagha seating with dorm 5. She makes friends fast. Dorm 5 are the only dorm that eat breakfast now probably because they practice soccer and hockey in the game season every minute and need energy. I go seat with them and join in. We all talk for a while till the warning bell rings and all go our ways. Anagha and I share every class together. All class I can only think about her. After the first 2 classes comes snack break. I eat my breakfast with our dorm while Anagha eats a banana. Then after the next 3 classes, we eat lunch and after the last 3 classes, we just all complete our homework together. After a while, Anagha gets up and goes to the door. Casey asks her where she's going. She says to the gym. Casey asks what about the homework. She says she completed it. Alexis asks so soon. She says it helps if the place your from has a more difficult standard and leaves. Emma looks at me like 'did you see something'. I mouth back 'I'm not a psychic'. She mouths 'you read people from their eyes'. I reply 'I can't read Anagha cause she doesn't trust anyone'. She mouths 'that doesn't make any sense'. I tell her to follow me to the couch so we can talk. We go there.
(Bold is Taylor and Italic is Emma)
"So why does it makes sense?"
"It makes sense cause she has her guard and walls up and will not completely trust anyone."
"You sure you can't read her?"
"Not a time for sarcasm. But since you're so curious her walls do come down and that time I can read her."
"When did that last happen?"
"When we showed she could trust us with her past."
"That's the only time she trusted us?"
"Half trusted and it's only the 2nd day."
"Then we have get her to trust us again and I have an idea."
"Would you like to share it with me?"
"I thought you said this isn't the time for sarcasm."
"It isn't. Continue."
"Truth or dare."
"That's great. That way she will get to know us some more and we will know her and she'll trust us."
"Exactly. I'll go tell the others."
"Wait. I think it isn't a good idea to tell them everything. They might blab, but not purposely... you know what I mean."
"Exactly but I meant about the game."
"Okay...forget I ever said that."
"Said what?"
We go out and tell everyone we are gonna play truth or dare on Friday. Everyone cheers. Emily says we haven't played that since 8th grade.
(Flashback)
Taylor shouting,"Hey guys it's our first day of high boarding school. We will be able to leave campus now. Let's play truth or dare to celebrate."
Everyone shouts in agreement. By the end of the night, no one has a secret that is not yet shared even Zendaya.
(End Of Flashback)
I see Alexis waving her hands in front of my face."What are you doing, Al?", I say. She replies,"You zoned out" with a shrug. I say,"Sorry had a flashback to the last time we played truth or dare". "You remember you dared Zendaya to take a photo of herself on Miss Jackson's phone?", says Emily."It was the talk of the month. Apparently someone snitched on you and got you in trouble". "I can never forget that. They made to do 50 push-ups. 50!"."Yeah good thing they just make us run 20 laps of the football field now.", said Alexis. "That wouldn't be a problem for Anagha, she could do it in a minute". I reply, "Yeah". Emma says,"Can we stop the Anagha talk?" "Did you wanna say something?" asks Casey."Yes actually. I want to tell you to not mention Zendaya at all"."Why?", asks Emily."Because it will make Anagha feel left out", replies Emma."That kinda makes sense",I say "And it's 7 pm". Anagha walks in so sweaty you can swear she came out of a pool. "Hey Anagha. We are playing truth or dare on Friday",said Emily."Okay",she replied. Then she went to the bathroom and was seen an hour later. When she comes out we all go eat. After an hour of eating and laughing we go see some t.v for 30 minutes. At 9:30 it's lights out and we go back and sleep.
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
At exactly 10, everyone is sitting on the carpet. Emma says that she will start first."Anagha truth or dare."
That's the end of this chapter. Drop a review.
