At the Bus STOP
(Aana's POV)
Aana was waiting at the Bus Stop for her bus to arrive at least for 15 min but there was no sign of the bus , and now she was getting frustrated.
"Where the hell is this bus , " with her irritated voice Aana muttered to herself . Then she dialled her best friend's number ( Jack 🎃).
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*
After 2 rings Jack finally picked up the call lazily, he said , " Hello , who the hell dares to disturb my sweet sleep , ". He said that because he was still sleepy and have not checked the caller ID.
On the other side of the call , Aana with her expressionless face was staring at her phone screen as if it would turn into a knife and she would stab Jack's mouth with it.
After taking the deep breath to control her anger she said in her calm yet dangerous voice , " Jack Martin , where the hell is this bus I'm waiting here for almost 15 min you told me yesterday that I don't have to take a cab daily because you have already arranged the bus for us , so where the hell is this bus , ".
After hearing Aana's calm voice , laziness in Jack's eyes had already faded away like a thin air , he was looking at his phone with horrified expression as if it will turned into a time boom that can explode in any second , he stood up in a hurry from his bed and walked towards the window , now he can see two familiar figure standing there one was his best friend Aana and second one was his dear cousin Kian but at this time his mind was fully focused towards Aana because she was already staring towards his window our we should say directly in his eyes with her sharp blue eyes filled with frustration , he did not even notice that Kian was staring towards him.
With a awkward smile Jack said , " Aana , first of all cool down don't be angry even I don't know why the bus is late I'm not a bus driver right . And if you are angry please curse me as much as you want but please don't talk to me in that dangerous calm voice of yours it scared the hell out of me,". After saying that he waved his hand towards Aana but she only turn around ignoring him.
Again Jack said in a pleasing tone , " Dumpling , please cool down you don't have to get frustrated just give me 10 mins our you can come over with my cousin standing behind you , we all can just can leave in my car I promise we won't get late " after that he hang up the call and dialed his cousin number ( Kian.M ) .
Aana who wanted to curse at Jack for wasting her time and on top of that calling her DUMPLING when she was not in a good mood , she just stared at her phone screen with blank face , after that she put the phone in her pocket while muttering to herself , "Jack , this time I'm will not let you go easily ".
After that she start walking towards Jack's villa which is only 5 mins of distance from Bus stop, not having any intention to turn around and ask jack's cousin to come over with her because first of all she doesn't know his cousin's name and she never met any of the Jack's cousins ever before so she felt very awkward to start any sort of conversation and ask someone to come over with her.
Secondly she already knew that Jack will definitely ask his cousin to come over because Jack was also well aware of her introvert and hostile attitude towards others .
Aana , Jack , and Crystal were childhood friend they were like family to each other they were very close because they live in the same area , from their childhood they start studying together in the same school but when they were in standard 5 Aana fought with a guy and beat him very badly after that all three of them changed there school and after completing there 10 standard they took admission in the same high school and today was there first day.
As Crystal was very excited so she already left with her mother in her car , Aana was not at all excited so she said to Crystal that she will come by bus with jack , and Jack was a Sleepyhead as always so he was also late and now she had to convince his mother to let Jack drive them to the school today.
.....
( Kian's POV )
When Kian came out from his manor he walked towards the Bus STOP which is 15 min distance from his place , he can take the another car from his personal garage but he wanted to take a ride in bus with his cousin JACK MARTIN , his first and only close cousin from his relatives Jack was his first uncle's son Mr. Peter Martin younger brother of Chester Martin.
Jack was not like him but he was also not like others. His nature was not flattery like his other cousin and this is why he always like Jack .
Jack was cool , funny , and very lazy but he was very intelligent and the best part was he was straight forward , he didn't put on any mask like others.
When Kian was near the Bus STOP he could see the three beautiful villa's in a line but in a small distance . First Villa belongs to Mr. Michael D'souza ( D'souza Villa ) , Second Villa belongs to Mr. Peter Martin ( Martin's Villa ) and Third one belongs to Ms. Mia Hill ( Hill's Villa ) . Kian was also aware that these villa's belonged to Jack's best friends ( Aana D'souza and Crystal Hill ) and D'souza and Hills were one of the influential families in the U.S.
Kian was already familiar with Crystal Hill because sometimes he has seen Crystal at Jack's place playing video games with Jack and Hannah ( younger sister of jack ) , and he was also very impressed by her because Crystal was talented , cute , funny, bubbly, straight-forward and specially she never tries flirt aur impress him , she always said that he is like a friend to her and he was also well aware of Crystal liking towards Jack but he also keep that a secret from Jack. She was just like Jack but only one thing was different she was not a LAZY body like Jack.
But he never knew anything about Aana D'souza , he was only aware of her name and that she was also a half-breed ( half indian and half american ) , he had never even seen her and he was not even interested so he never asked anything about her from Jack.
When Kian arrived at Bus stop he saw a girl was also standing there but Jack was not there so he immediately understood that the lazy boy was still sleeping , so he thought he could wait there for some time for Jack to arrive, as the bus was also not there yet.
So he stood behind the girl leaving some distance between them while using his phone but as soon as he stood there he was distracted by the smell coming from the girl in front of him and for the very first time in his life he was attracted by the smell coming from the girl , so looked up from his phone and he can tell that this fragrance is different from others it was not harsh and not to light it was very soothing and it was definitely not the perfume and he was sure it was a natural smell of the girl and he somehow like that fragrance.
Without himself knowing he stared at the girl's back and started observing her , she was wearing blue denim jeans with an oversized cheetah printed sweater , beautiful watch , black baseball cap , black mask , and black sneakers ( just like him).
But because of the baseball cap, mask and her back facing him he was not able see her hair and face properly and now he was getting curious about her looks. According to him her outfit was perfect neither flashy nor boring. It's simple and elegant, she was also not too tall nor too short.
Just as he was about to move closer to her for a proper look he heard her mummering to herself in a frustrated voice , " where the hell is this bus,".
He was shocked to hear her cold voice then he saw her calling some one's number in her mobile and then turn towards Jack's room window , and still he was not able to see her face because of the cap and mask , after some time call was picked up and he was again shocked to hear Jack's sloppy voice from the other side so he moved one step closer to her so he can also hear what's going on . He knew that he was behaving like a nosy body for the first time but didn't care about it.
When he heard there conversation he was shocked for the third time after hearing Jack's flattering and then he saw Jack came towards the window with that horrible look in his face and that awkward smile towards the girl as if she was going to kill him, after that he waved his hand towards the girls but she just turn away ignoring Jack .
Now he knew that the girl in front of him was Jack's best friend Aana D'souza and she was also waiting for Jack and the bus . And now she was also a student at the high school where he was also studying . He thought that Aana would turn towards him just as Jack told her that he was standing behind her . And she will ask him to come over with her and now he can finally see her face but to his surprise, Aana puts her phone in her pocket while mummering , " Jack , this time I will not let you go easily " as if she will definitely kill Jack this time . After that she walked towards Jack's Villa without even turning towards him as if he was not even there just ignoring him like a thin air .
He was about to say something but before that his phone rang when he saw it was Jack he picked up the call from the other line Jack's guilty voice came through the phone , " Sorry bro , about the bus even I was not aware that it was getting late so you can just come over with the girl in front of you she is my friend Aana she will...." but before he could even finish his sentence Kian cut him off.
Kian with his black face said , "It's fine , I'm coming over, be ready in 10 mins " after that he hung up the call .
After that he walked forward towards the Villa silently behind Aana thinking about Aana's nickname DUMPLING. He thought it was funny and wanted to laugh after a long time but he controlled himself before he got caught by Aana.....
