I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, I cannot sit inside this car forever, school is about to start and I would have to go inside nonetheless. So stop hyperventilating Nayantara Moorthy and let's get going. Crap I am calling myself with my full name. See how disastrous the situation is. Like every other high school gossip travels fast in Whitfield high and considering the fact that almost all seniors were present in that party, I know my breakup news would be the fresh topic in school today.
I so wanted to skip school today but couldn't, I didn't wanted to appear weak because I don't mourn over my breakup. Yes I was upset not because me and Jacob break up but instead of talking with me and choosing out a right path, he chose to cheat on me and that hurts. I didn't deserve this. Okay Tara let's just get over with this.
I came out of the car after locking it and moved towards my class hurriedly, well I guess I am late because there were not much people on the hallway. I took a breath of relief and without looking here and there entered my first class AP chemistry, Ms. Jenkins wasn't there thank goodness..
"You are late today.." Isabelle looked me up and down trying to make sure I am okay and I smiled to decrease her worry a bit.. "No I am not Ms. Jenkins is still not here.." I turned around saying Hi to Rosen and Daniel who had his head down on table and probably was asleep..
"Ouch what the hell.." I slapped his head to wake him up and he gave me his famous death glare which I royally ignored.. "Hello to you too Daniel .." Rosen and Belle snickered and he just scoffed.. Angry Kapoor huunn...
The time flew pretty quick and it was time for English. I groaned, I have to see Jacob now which I really don't want to. And oh no Daniel is too in same class, I hope he didn't end up killing Jacob. Help me Aiyappa, please let this class slide without shedding any blood.. I entered inside and my eyes met with Jacob's, he look at me and then remove his stuff from the other seat to empty it. Wow seriously he really think I am gonna sit with him. His eyes hold hope and I don't feel even remotely bad for crushing that hope.
"Over here Princess.." I heard Caleb's voice, I looked for him and there he is sitting in the last row. I smiled and without sparing a second glance to Jacob, took a seat beside Caleb..
"You doing good Princess?" I gave him my million dollar smile, "pretty much Caleb.." And he beamed at my response. In no time one more figure slouched in the seat next to me and again I am trapped between two handsome devils. And one thing was sure now that for rest of the year I am going to be sitting in between these two idiots for 2 lectures now.
Daniel's head dropped on my shoulder and I sighed. My gaze fell on Jacob and he is looking here only, more of shooting daggers at Daniel, who oblivious to the world was snoring lightly. I smiled at him, the way he took care of me Saturday night, I can't forget. And yesterday when all 4 of them were trying to do anything just to see me laugh. Aiyappa how did I get so lucky to have all of them in my life..
"Wake up Daniel sir is here.." I whispered shouted in his ear but he didn't budge. I don't want him to get caught sleeping in class. So I swiftly pinched him on the cheek and the idiot woke up shouting in pain. Turning everyone's eyes on us.
"What the hell is going on there?" I hear the dead panned voice of my teacher, "I think an ant just bit me, I am sorry for disturbing your class sir please carry on.." He gave one more pointed look to both of us but then turned around. I look at Daniel who was glaring at me and then he gave me his best fake smile, next minute I knew, I am trying to muffle my scream because of the pain in my wrist.
The jerk pinched me, next to me was Caleb who is almost on the verge of falling down from his seat as he is laughing hysterically putting a hand on his mouth so not let the teacher hear him. I look back at Daniel , "I so hate you Kapoor.." and he smirked, the jerk has the nerve to do that, "feelings are mutual Moorthy.."
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I came to cafeteria none of my friends were here yet, Daniel and Caleb went to washroom once the class got over saying they will directly meet me in cafeteria. Rosen and Isabelle have not arrived yet I guess. I was going to collect my lunch when a voice stopped me. "Tara please can we talk.." I turned back to see Jacob, since Saturday he was bothering me leaving text messages and calling every hour which of course I didn't returned. He also went to my home yesterday but I was at Daniel's.
What is even left to talk, can't he understand and let me be. He cheated on me and I broke up with him period. Accept the fact and move on. "I don't want to talk to you, please stop bothering me." I turned around again but was stopped by him, who grabbed my hand.. I am pissed now. "What the hell do you want Jacob.." I screamed grabbing almost the attention of everyone present there, he look taken aback at my tone. "I am your boyfriend Tara, we dated for an year, I at least have a right to explain myself.." is this guy for real. "Seriously you think you can still explain what I saw that night. I caught you cheating on me Jacob for goodness sake, there is nothing to explain, so just let me go.."
I tried to snatch my hand but his grip was too tight, " No, not till you let me explain.." explain, explain what the hell is there to even explain. What he want too explain, that Roseline forced him to let her suck his cock and he couldn't deny because she was so good at it.. his words not mine..
"Leave her Smith, before I make you." I heard a deep voice just behind me making all my hair stand up. Oh no Aiyappa this is not going to end well..
"Fuck of Kapoor, this is between me and my girl, you better stay out of this.." Jacob snarled and that wasn't a good thing to do, I Tried to free my hand but he didn't let me, his nails dugged under my flesh making me wince..
Rosen, Isabelle and Caleb too joined us and before anyone could say anything or could do, a punch was shot directly at Jacob's handsome face taking every one in shock, my hand got free immediately and Isabelle wrapped her arms around me comforting me.. "you fucking didn't punched me, you bastard how dare you." Jacob lunged on Daniel but was met with another punch and then another and another, it didn't look good.. oh no, oh no.. Jonathan and Rosaline were trying to get Daniel off him and so do Caleb and Rosen but he was like a raging bull.. We are in school, what if some teacher walked in or maybe the principle..
I detached myself from Belle and get in between both of the boys.. I cupped Daniel's cheeks and made him look at me, "calm down Daniel please just calm down. Please stop.." I didn't knew when I started crying, his eyes turned softer and his hands snaked around my waist pulling me closer.. He was breathing too fast, I run my fingers in his hair and he closed his eyes to calm himself.. After few minutes he opened his eyes and he looked composed. I sigh and then turned around but Daniel didn't remove his hands from my waist.. I looked at Jacob his face look pretty bad..
"We were happy Jacob, everything was good, but if you were facing any problem in our relationship or wasn't happy with me, you could have just told me or break it off with me. But instead you cheated on me with Rosaline, the girl you claimed to be your best friend. I know this wasn't the first time, you both were going behind my back from before right?"
I look at him accusingly and he just drop down his head accepting my accusations.. I am hurt no doubt, but I am glad I found out soon..
"I can't forgive you Jacob atleast not now so it's better for you to stay away from me. It's over Jacob it's over for good.." I told him and he looked hurt, well you should have think of that before cheating on me..
"You have the nerve of accusing him when you yourself are sleeping around with the new boy.. He has just arrived and you two are behaving so close already . God knows what else you both have done.." And I felt an urge to break her nose. Instead of apologizing for sleeping with my bf, she has the nerve to accuse me..
"Listen this very loud and clear Rosaline Martin, cause I don't repeat myself. one more word against her, I swear I will fix your face just like Jacob's. Trust me I don't believe in not laying hands on females.." Daniel threatened her in a deadliest voice possible which made shiver ran down my spine. "They are threatening me in front of you and you are doing nothing what sort of a brother are you.." Rosen scoffed at her, now she remember him, "you should have think about it before messing around with my best friend's bf. Come on guys let's get going I am hungry.." Throwing one last glance to them, we left to eat a peaceful lunch finally..
