Chapter 10

Daniel's POV

Today I wanted to skip school as Emily was staying at her aunt's place. But boys would kill me. So I silently got ready for school.

"Daniel " I took my last bite of the sandwich when Maria's annoying voice hit my ears.

"What," I said in a sluggish tone.

"Today I'm visiting my mom with Sarah and Hadi. So the car is not free.  You have to drive Ana to the school" she said eying me and Ana who was standing there nervously biting her lips.

"Sorry... I can't.. I've to pick my friends" it was a complete lie as I used to pick Emily and today she was not coming.

"I don't know, she is your wife... your responsibility " She rolled her eyes.

"It's okay Maria, I'll walk " Ana spoke in her usual low tone.

"Okay.." Maria shrugged her shoulders.

I grabbed my keys and started the car.  But something was pulling me back.  How the heck I could leave her alone. She even didn't know about this city.  I  turned my car and stopped as I saw her. She was walking with loose steps.

Great, you'll reach school tomorrow girl.

I stopped my car near her. She stopped for a second and looked at me. Without saying anything she started walking again.

It was enough to irritate me.

What the fuck she think she is..?

"You are coming with me or I dragged you in the car," I said with my raging eyes.  She looked scared. 

She silently opened the door and hopped in the car.  I gave her my disgusted look and started the car.

Suddenly, my car crash into some other car. I frowned as I was already late and now all these things.

I had to pay some fine to the car's owner and again started the car. I looked at my wristwatch. I was going to be late.

"I guess you are a bad omen," I said annoyingly.

She saw me with her wide eyes and whispered.

"Dadoo told me that I was good luck for him"

I returned a glare. She silently turned her face to the window.

I stopped my car in front of the school gate.

"Now walk yourselves to the class. I'm not coming with you" I scoffed.

She silently exited from the car and moved towards the class. I turned my car to the parking area.

I stopped at the classroom's gate as I saw she was standing there bending down her head.

"Why you guys are late," Mr. Paul said in his high pitched voice.

"I got an accident, now let me come in," I said sluggishly.

"Wait Daniel... this time no.. You never showed yourself on time... detention and you miss Waqar.. detention " he almost scolded us.

Ana lifted her head and her eyes were full of tears.

What's wrong with this girl.

"You are really a bad omen" I whispered in her ears and stepped into the classroom.

Anabia's POV

So I got detention for.. first time..? Cuz I'm a bad omen. Astagfirullah

Taking a deep breath, I sat beside Jessie.  She poked my cheeks and I whined.

After the classes, I was asked to sit in Room no. 405

"Best of luck, detention with a hottie" Natalie winked at me and I gasped.

He would probably kill me that I got him detention.

I sat on an empty seat and opened my books. It was best to read any book.

"Books..Really?" A deep husky voice pulled me back.

"Eh..uh..umm" I stuttered as usual.

"Why do you stutter so much " he rolled his eyes.

"I got a detention cuz of you. And here you are reading books..seriously?" I could see the frowning look on his face.

"Let's play a game," he said sitting next to me.

"Umm... Eh.. what " I tried to speak but nothing came out.

"God..you And your stuttering. Wanna play chess..?" He asked me eyeing up and down.

"I don't know how to play chess" I lied,  I just didn't want to play with him.

"God, you are so weird " he gave me an annoyed look and stood from the seat.

It felt really bad. I wish I hadn't denied him.

After an hour of detention, we walked out of the classroom. I was hoping that maybe he would ask me to come along with him but he didn't say anything. He started his car and drove away. I sighed and started walking. 

"Hey.. You need a ride " I was walking on the footpath when a red car stopped and I gasped as I saw Shuzaat was sitting there.

"Hell yess " I yelped and hopped in his car.

"Do you want an ice cream" he stopped his car near the ice cream parlor.

"Umm" I didn't want to bother him but icecream was my weakness. It was hard for me to refuse ice cream.

"Which flavor " it seemed he read my mind.

"Choco mint" I smiled.

He brought two cups of icecream. We sat on his car's donut and I started enjoying my delicious icecream.

"Hey, you spilled it on your face" Shuzaat pointed at my face.

I tried to wipe it but my hands didn't find it.

"Here it is" Shuzaat wiped it from his fingers. He looked directly into my eyes. We stared for a while then the same familiar black car drove past us. I gasped realizing whose car it was.

"Thanks for the ice cream and the ride " I thanked him as we reached my home.

"See yaa " he smiled at me.

I was really happy after spending such a wonderful time with Shuzaat.

Daniel's POV

I started my car leaving her behind.  But I realized again my mistake. I turned my car and looked for her. But she was nowhere.  This made me really worried.

What if she got in an accident...

My heart started pounding.  I was running my car on the road with frustration then my eyes got widen when I saw her sitting with the same guy near the icecream parlor.

She was enjoying her ice cream with him and he was flirting with him.

I scrunched my face with disgust.

Here I was being worried about her and she was spending the quality time with that bastard.

But why the heck it was affecting me so much.....

I reached my home and slammed the door of my room and threw myself on the bed.
