''You don't wanna miss this, trust me.'' Aarav grinned. Yuvi groaned and let him lead the way.

Natasha was standing there, her compact rearview mirror in her hand, frowning and looking at her hair. She ran a hand through them, brushing some particular strands and cursing under her breath.

Meanwhile, Aarav reached the front of the crowd. Yuvi's mouth hung open as he looked at her, shocked; just like all the other people in this crowd were.

Natasha fumed and looked at everyone. ''Get Lost!'' She screamed. ''GO AWAY. AWAY. AWAY.'' She tossed her used-to-be auburn hair to the side. Now, more than half of her hair was covered in green marshy slimy thing. Her mascara was running down her eyes. There were shades of different lipstick colours all over her cheek, running down to the chin.

People started moving, taken aback by what just happened. One minute, they were all following Natasha, dying to be next to her. And then, a swirly fog corners her from nowhere, and in seconds, she is in this wrecked up condition. Her eyes started swallowing up in tears as she faced the embarrassment. Aarav however, missed that, because he was standing behind her, facing her back.

Everyone moved out of the way, except for Aarav. He whistled casually.

Natasha turned around, fuming. If she had been crying, it was gone ' replaced by something else. She had been living for more than 3 centuries now, and no one had dared to mess with her like this. And what he did ' it was just unbearable. He had embarrassed her in front of the whole school.

When she faced him, her anger, her madness, her rage, her frustration ' it was clearly evident in her eyes. She had her mouth laid back in a snarl. She looked.. menacing. Like a tigress. Hungry. Mad. Strong. Fearless.

''I don't know how-'' She snapped. ''-but I know you have done this.'' She threw the mirror at him, missing him by a deliberate inch.

''Me?'' Aarav's lips twitched into a smile. ''How can I do this? From what I remember, I wasn't anywhere near you in that group of admirers, was I?'' He raised his eyebrow.

She growled under her breath. ''Don't act smart with me. I used to think you are stupid, Aarav. But right now, what you did, you will feel sorry for this. I promise, Mr. Aarav whatever, you will regret what you just did.''

''Would I?'' He grinned. ''Wild cat, hun? Well, let's see what you can do to make me regret this triumphant victory of mine.''

She laughed, though there was no humor in her voice, just pure frustration. ''You have no idea what I can and cannot do, Aarav. You have absolutely no idea.'' She turned around as she tried not to think about how she looked right now. Before leaving, though, she turned around. ''Aarav, you may have won the fight, but you haven't won the battle. War it is, on the official front now.''

Aarav just grinned as he watched her go. Though, it wasn't too long before his conscience guilty pang hit him.

Did she deserve all that embarrassment? Well, yeah, she had humiliated him in front of the whole school, too.

How? She had only asked her to park a car. Well, all he did was cast a spell and make her look horrible.

And is that even-steven? ' No, it isn't.

He sighed, as he ruffled a hand through his hair, forehead creased. He thought about Natasha, her anger, her frustrated laugh, her bitter annoyance.

He might as well say sorry to her. What he did.. it was huge. It was definitely worse than asking someone to park your car. Whatever Aarav was, he wasn't unfair.

''I'll say sorry, alright!'' He muttered to his brain which was shooting commands at him. He shook his head, as he followed Natasha to the Girls Room.

What the hell was all that?
