I'm Aria, a 15 year old teenager. I've been staying with my step brother, Dhruv, from past 11 years. In 1993, my father got married to a gorgeous lady and had my step brother. Unfortunately, in 1997, the lady had a fire accident and died on the spot. My father was shattered but moved on anyway. A relative suggested that Dhruv is too young to understand what happened so its better to be married again. Afterall, he needed mother's love as he was just 4 years old. So in 2000, father married my mum and then in 2004, I was born.
My brother and I don't talk much as he kinda hates my after all that he knows. We are taken care by a relative for financial aid and all.
Anyways, now I'm 15 years old just gave my board exams and waiting for results. I'll be transferred to a new school in same town for further studies.
Being a nerd, growing as a teenager was bit easy. Like who would be interested in a brown girl with long oily hair and round rim glasses. In this school where I'm currently studying, no one knows Aria Shah unless when results are announced except for my best friends, Dheer and Mohit. Dheer is a golden haired boy whose an awesome basketball and cricket player. He's bit flirty and notorious and yes you guessed it right girls go insane on him. While Mohit is a silent green eyed black headed boy whose a nerd too. He doesn't speaks much but he understands me very well. Both of them, take me as their priorities and always support me. This leads to constant clash between all the other girls and me and they hate me to hell.
2 Days later
My results have come now and I've scored 96% but no ones there to celebrate except for the two dumbos.
We've decided to meet in a cafe this evening. It was almost time to go and as always I was late. I changed my clothes and was looking for my hairbrush when I heard a deep familiar voice. Dhruv! he was there this all time I changed my clothes. I was shocked and speechless. " You looked pretty without those", he said pointing towards my clothes. I was horrified. Like what happened to him? Why so weird today? He tried to grab my waist but I pushed him away and ran out of the house. I was still worried whats wrong with him but thought to act normal as I felt ashamed to talk about this matter to Dheer and Mohit.
I reached the cafe and sat on the table next to the two of them. Dheer talked a lot about his crush on this new girl he met the other day. I sat quiet and sipped my coffee. Mohit asked to lead him to the restroom and he wasn't familiar to this cafe. I stood up, rubbed my skirt and started walking. Suddenly a brown haired guy ran into me and I was on the floor. He looked at me for a long time and started to walk away. I was like dude you just knocked me down and now you're walking away without an apology. I owe a big fat sorry as my skirt was ripped and I sprained my ankle. Mohit came closer, took off his jacket and wrapped it around my waist. I felt a bit awkward when he did this as I could feel the closeness and warmth of his body. Then his cold hands were across my thighs. He picked me up in his arms and took me to our table. Dheer had his mouth wide open when he saw us. He asked me if I was fine and then asked Mohit if he likes me. He looked at me for a while with blank face then turned to Dheer and replied ,"We have all grown together, you both are my friends and I like you both." It took me a minute to get it. Then Mohit turned to me his palms on my knees and asked in a sweet manner, " You're okay right? Let me send you home." Dheer paid the bill and I reached home.
I was laying on my bed with all these thoughts like whats wrong with dhruv? why was Mohit so different today? Who was that bloody fellow who ripped my skirt? I closed my eyes and laid there.
