After whatever happened yesterday at school, I was miles away from sleep. His thoughts were still running in my mind. I was barely able to sleep that night. Following, I was going to have a lazy day at school.

Partial truth...

I-I-I-I-I

My mind was occupied with his thoughts until... Trigonometry class...

"Aha Ms Malhotra..." smiled my professor, Mr Jack Raymond. "I suppose this is your first class in Trig?"

"Yes, sir." I answered.

"Well, then I got you here," he said pointing towards the second seat. "Right here with Mr Shetty,"

Shetty?! I looked at the second bench and saw that he was in the same boat as I am. The expression on his face was like he just wanted to run away right now.

But why? I dunno.

"Ahem ahem,"

I realized I was staring at Daya, so I quickly took my bag and sat next to him.

No sooner had I settled myself, the Shetty boy distanced himself from me.

I was shocked.

He covered his nose with his hands. I checked my shirt for any kind of smell, but it gave none. I looked at him and found him staring at me.

Although I wasn't a fan of perfumes, I had applied some French perfume mom had gifted me on my departure.

So, there was no chance of any bad odour.

Thank god the class began because I wasn't feeling comfortable with his stare.

"As we have done almost half of the book, I may consider Ms Malhotra that you copy down all the work done till yet and submit me by the next Wednesday." said Mr Raymond.

I nodded.

And then he explained what all Trig was. But, was I paying attention?

Definitely not.

I was trying my level best to concentrate, but all in vain.

He was staring at me continuously. I was checking myself for any kind of smell, but there was none.

I guess trig was the longest period of the day. Or it may seem so. I just wanted the bell to ring so that I could go home.

And then, he stood up.

I was about to wonder why, when the bell rang. I took a heavy breath. There was a tingling sensation in my stomach until I realized that he had gone...

I-I-I-I-I

I followed his footsteps and found him talking to the receptionist.

"Lemme check child," she said.

I entered the room, and stood near him. He again distanced himself.

"Just a minute dear," the receptionist said to me.

"I don't think there is, child," she said as she turned to Daya.

"C'mon, there must be something open?" he slammed his hand on the table. "Algebra, graphs, even numerics will do!"

"I'm afraid you'll have to stay in Trigonometry" she said as she closed her register.

"Fine!" he looked at me. "Just, have to endure it, " he said and waked away.

I, too, without saying anything, went away.

I-I-I-I-I

Mark Spencer's POV

"Yeah Stephanie, I'm almost done! Just locking the door and I'm back home!" I said to my wife on phone.

I overworked today. I wanted to surprise Stephanie and my children, Jo, Harper and Mac by taking them on a vacation tomorrow. I asked my boss for a holiday, and he agreed on one condition, overtime for two days. I did it yesterday and now again.

Harold was supposed to stay with me today, but he got a call from his wife, Valentina and had to go.

I don't mind that. I can understand.

And then,

THUMP! THUMP!

THUMP! THUMP!

THUMP! THUMP!

Who on the earth is this? I was trying to calm myself down by saying this.

And then the noise stopped.

I took a sigh of relief.

But again,

THUMP! THUMP!

THUMP! THUMP!

THUMP! THUMP!

"Who is this?!" I asked, again, trying to calm myself down.

But then I heard a laughing sound.

'Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!'

"Goddammit!" I shouted again "Who is it!?"

And then, someone appeared.

He was young man. Around 20-22 years of age. He had a pale face and long black hair.

"What do you want?!" I asked again.

"I'm afraid it's you," he said with a smirk.

And then, he showed me his hands. Not hands, I realized, they were claws!

I quicked my pace as I ran down the staircase.

"There's no escaping," I heard him say, but I didn't care.

And then, a young couple appeared in front of me. The man had short, brown hair, unlike the first one. The woman was a little shorter than him, with pink and purple hair.

I turned back again and saw the first man. The three surrounded me and showed me their claws.

The first man got hold of my arms and shredded off my skin.

I knew my time had come.

Still I said "Pleseeeee... leave meeeeee!" I shouted but they never listened.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" was l could hear.

And then, all I remember, is immense pain. And then, darkness consumed me.

I-I-I-I-I

Shreya's POV...

What was I supposed to do after all this? Return home with the thoughts of the Shetty boy?

What else...?

I finished my homework in few hours. But, it wasn't enough to stop me from thinking about him. I had a momentary idea that doing my homework would keep his thoughts aside, but I was wrong.

To my relaxation, mom called me up.

"Hi mom," I said, keeping my books in my bag.

"Hi, sweetheart," she said in her sweet voice "How are you?"

"I'm good," I said "How are you? And, Andrew?"

"Oh I'm all good," she said "And Andrew is like eating up my head asking questions like how are you in Forks, is everything okay, and blah, blah, blah,"

I chucked. "Well, tell him I'm all good," I smiled at Andrew's concern.

"Hey baby listen, we got a really good house for you in Jacksonville. If you don't wanna live with Abhi"

"No mom," I cut her off. "I have no problem with Abhi, and I wanna live here."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," she apologized " Well tell me about your new school, we haven't talked about it since you went there,"

The thought of school forced me to think about Daya, all that I had wanted to forget. But now...

"So," said mom. "What are the kids like?"

Totally pale, and cold. I wanted to say. They have to endure me.

"Are there any cute guys?" she asked.

Of course, guys are there! But, cute, no. Mysterious, yes.

"Well, " I finally said. "They all were very welcoming,"

"Aha!" she said "Tell me all about it,"

"Umm... I've got homework to do," I lied.

"Okay," she seemed suspicious "So, we'll talk?"

"Like, tomorrow?" I said.

"Okay, bye sweety, " she said. "Love you,"

"Love you, too" I said and hung off.

I-I-I-I-I

Another sleepless night. Daya's thoughts all round my head. The attraction...

But now, I was determined. To ask, and if required, demand what his problem was. Why was he distancing me from himself?

Thinking this, I dozed off to sleep.

I-I-I-I-I

But, he didn't show up.

Ishita, Dushyant, Purvi and Sachin did. But Daya didn't.

I-I-I-I-I

And the next day, another no show.

"I was expecting Daya to come today, " Lara said.

"Why?" I asked her.

"Can't have a probability? " she smirked.

I just shrugged my shoulders.

I-I-I-I-I

Days changed into weeks. But, no vestige of him.

I stood there, where I had started...

Things were getting a little... strange.

I was worrying for him. I dunno why, but I felt an instant attraction towards him. Thinking about him sent electric sparks in my body.

I-I-I-I-I
