"How dare you!?" Mira slapped me as I stayed silent in my spot, all students eyes on me.

I continued to hold my gaze low.

Having no answer from me, Mira grabbed my collar and shook me which made me stumble a little.

I looked up to find her glaring eyes on me.

"You rascal! I thought you're a creep! But you're a pervert too! How dare you make my pictures without my permission?" Mira snapped as I lowered my eyes once more.

I felt like if the ground breaks in half, I'll hide myself in it.

Where am I going to keep this shame? Shame of having genuine feelings for a girl.

What have I done bad? Did I harassed her? Did I stalk her? Yet I'm receiving such harsh words now.

"No words huh, lover boy?" "Such a creep."

I heard words from my sides which made me tearing up.

"How dared you thought that I, a girl like me will give a chance you!? A weak nerd! Did you ever see yourself in a mirror? " Mira said as she was about to slap me and I was also about to take it.

At present.....

I immediately opened my eyes, panting heavily as I looked around just to find myself in my bedroom.

I sat up on the bed, covered in sweat, even in full AC. I looked at the table clock which showed 7 o'clock in the morning.

I wasted no time as I got up and immediately went to freshen up.

I stayed in the shower as the cool water went through my body, sending me a calmness.

I used to have this kind of nightmares every night. Didn't say anything to father cause, what's the point? The man is busy with his work, I can'thave him tensed about me.

So I care of it, Doctor, medicine finally was able to calm me. But before them it was my will power.

Coming out of shower, I looked at myself in the mirror. Girls die for me these days, on my physiques. Funny. But the thing is, I really don't appreciate my body. It's just to hide my insecurities. Insecurities I got during my high school. I didn't have a well built when I was younger. Rather I was pale, skinny and noticeably tall.

I used to bullied, habituated with it until the accident happened in my life, which shook me to my core.

Mira's harsh words about me, being a creep. I couldn't take it. Just because I was skinny, I was bullied? How was it my fault? How was loving someone from a distance was a fault? She used to sit beside me, took help from me in her projects. I was too naive to understand her intentions.

I didn't use to show people but I used to be haunted by Mira's words. Her words used to pierce in my soul even after 10 years of my highschool.

I could have done anything stupid. If she wasn't there. My one and only friend, my Savior.

Chaya.

10 years ago.....

Being stiffened, I closed my eyes shut to receive another slap but I opened my eyes when it took longer to get slapped.

I opened my eyes as I widened my eyes, seeing a girl wearing school uniform, two braids held Maya's hand tightly.

She turned to me, her black eyes softened a bit as she asked, " You okay? "

"Chaya!" Mira snapped as she took her hand away.

Chaya was nonchalant as she shoved her hand in the blue skirt's pockets.

"Mira didi. Take a chill pill. Your voice can be heard from outside the school. I'm thinking of replacing the mic with your throat in school." She chuckled only to make Mira's face go more red in anger. I continued to give Chaya disbelieving eyes.

"You think it's funny, yeah?" Mira scoffed. "Aren't you putting your nose in your seniors matter?" She added.

"You know how amusing it is to see quarrel! But not funny when it's my bhai!" Chaya hugged me by wrapping her tiny hand from my back and shook me.

"He helped me during my math test. I can't let him be Humiliated. I'm not as heartless as you guys." She fake smiled.

"Chaya be in your limits! You don't know him! He was drawing my pictures! Such a pervert-" before Mira could say more Chaya snatched the notepad and went through it.

"You made it?" She asked which I nodded in hesitation.

"Wow. It's so good. What's wrong with it? It seems genuine!" Chaya waved in it front of Mira.

Mira gave her a look of disbelief, " You're unbelievable."

"Tell me something I don't know. But...." She went through my drawing, making me go all red in embarrassment.

"It's so beautiful! I would have fallen for anyone who would have cared to draw me like this." She chuckled.

"Then have it! Perfect couple! One is creep! One is mad!" Mira scoffed.

Chaya went silent as her calm, intense eyes were on Mira. There was silence until Chaya blunt out.

"At least we're not two faced like you."

"What did you say?" Mira glared.

"Don't shout. You think the school doesn't know you feed upon rich kids? Parties! Drugs! At least I don't have to take cocks in my mouth to get money! Fact! You're not even poor. Then I could have said it was for money. But it's not. If you can do it while going to man to man and that can't be perverted. Then how can be this guys drawings can? He is new here and so do you. That's why you're doing this, yeah? Using him for projects? But don't do this. You're here for only two years but I'm here from primary." Chaya said in one go, making Mira go all red in anger and embarrassment.

"You bitch! You have a mouth to talk!? How dare you talk to your senior like this-" Mira snapped but Chaya shushed her.

"Shhhhh. I don't like noises. Mira Chandra. I don't say empty words. Get it into mind. See you one more time near him and I'll make sure to kick you out of this this school." Chaya said in a calm tone.

"Why? Is this your father's school? That you can do anything." Mira scoffed.

Chaya made a done, confused face as she looked behind her and saw a big picture of an old man on the wall of the end of hallway.

"Isn't... Isn't it obvious?" Chaya muttered with a done face.

"What?" Mira widened her eyes as there was a silence.

"Bitch! None knows this school belongs to my grandpa?" Chaya asked as she looked around while others gave her a confused look. Some shook their heads.

Chaya sighed in disbelief, " Can't believe you guys don't know this! But how? I told them to add my certificates and Trophies of Quiz to the hallroom's trophy sections with others but they can't!"

Everyone gave her surprised face as she looked back at Chaya, "However! Yes! This school is my grandfather's! And anything bad here! Will be torn away by me! Cause I notice everything here! From inside! So! Mind it!"

Chaya shook her head as she turned to me."You also didn't know?" I shook my head which her shoulders slumped. "Now you know. Anything happens! Just call me! I'll come! You helped me to pass my math exam! I'll give my life for you!"

Chaya patted my shoulder as she turned and left mumbling and shaking her head, "I can't believe they don't know me! I'll complain my parents and now I have to make them place my trophies in the trophy sections."

I continued to give her a look of disbelief. Not knowing, She'll the person who'll stay by me even after ten years.
