Chapter 2
Riddhimas Point of View
I was on my way to school and I parked my cay where all the other kids parked theirs and came out with my bag over my shoulder and was on my way to the principles office. On my way there everyone was staring at me and I heard little whispers obviously about me but I didn't let that get to me. A few boys 'jocks' were throwing themselves at me but I wasn't looking for a relationship right now all I need first was to know the school and people in it. I watched the jocks being dumped by their own girlfriends when they saw them eying me and approaching me "that's what they get" I thought to my self.
I got to the principles office and went in "Hi, I'm Riddhima" I introduced myself.
"Oh you're the new kid right?" he asked looking unsure.
"Yeah, um do I go to class now or something" I say awkwardly as I heard the school bell.
"Yes normally you would have to go now, but since your new I'm going to have to take some of your time to give you these" he said as he gave me a planner with all my lessons and rooms, a calculator and a dictionary.
"you will need these things for your lessons" he said with a smile, "now lets take you to your first lesson".
We walk down the empty corridors and go into room E14 which is my English lesson. When I go in I see the whole room looking like they were all probably at the age of 17 or 18 (apart from the teacher who actually looked like she was about 40) look up at me with either interested faces, bored faces or happy faces (that they can miss some of the lesson while the teacher lets me introduce my self).
"Ok guys, this is Riddhima Gupta she will be your new class mate, look after her" and with that he left.
"Hello Riddhima, I'm Ms Bitterman and I will be your English teacher for this year" she told me "why don't you go sit in that spare seat in between Nikita and Armaan at the back. I look around and see an empty seat between two brunettes. the girl was wearing designer, sparkly cloths with her hair neatly curled and the boy'.- wait a minute that's the boy that I saw this morning, the one that lives next door. As I go to the seat he just looks down on the desk probably on his phone then I heard a brunette girl (the one that was waiting for him this morning with a car) giggle and look at him and then he looked back at her which I'm guessing that they were texting each other from the way that they were giving each other secret messages. Then when I sat down the brunette gave me a dirty look. What did I do to make her look at me like that? Any way I was in the lesson when I get tap on my shoulder I look round to see the girl who sat next to me 'Nikita' was talking to me.
"Hi I'm Nikita, you can call me Nikki, I know that you probably don't know the school very well, would you like me to show you around?" she asked me, I smiled brightly at her and nodded my head I was just happy that I made a friend in my first lesson. She looked like quite a nice person.
The day goes past and before I knew it, it was lunch time and Nikki was showing me around the school and we started on becoming quite good friends. I saw that neighbour boy was walking with that brunette girl and some others that I didn't know who they were.
"Nikki who are they?" I asked
"Oh that's Armaan Malik in the middle and around him are his so called 'friends' but I like to think that their his servants since they would do anything for him" she said as a matter of fact.
"ooooohhh" I replied understanding.
"Yeah, and the girl next to him is Simran , she's his girlfriend but yet since he's the populist boy in school he likes to make other girls fawn over him which is ridiculous" she said quite angry.
"And if he ever asks you to do something DO NOT DO IT" she said making sure I understand.
"Ok but why?" I asked I don't know why she's making a big deal of him, he's just a jerk trying to get other girls but I have NO idea why they like him so much. Nikki looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Because if you want to ever hang around with me and the others you will have to go through some basic rules" she answered explaining to me.
"Ok but who are the others?" I asked, as if on queue to boys popped out of the corner which made it quite obvious that they were listening to our conversation.
"Hi I'm Rahul, but you knew that" the boy with a pretty well built body said while he took my hand and kissed it, I blushed lightly.
"Hi I'm Atul, but you knew that" the other boy said while stretching out his arm for me to kiss it. I giggled at his reaction, even though I didn't know who these two boys were I'll just let them have their fun.
"Hi I'm Riddhima, but I knew that" I said and we all started laughing. I really like these people they have the same kind of sense of humour as me and I like that.
"Ok ok, now that we all know each other we need to go thorough the rules"Nikki started
"Rule no. 1: Do not do any thing Ammy's group says you to do
Rule no. 2 : Always be truthful to our group
Rule no. 3 : Never under any circumstances BETRAY your friends" she finished off by saying. Then Atul started speaking "Of course these are not very strict rules but if we all obey them then there will be no problem but don't get threatened"
"Well I'll try my hardest to obey them" I told them and I meant it, anyway I wasn't planning on going anywhere near Armaan and his group.
"Great now that we have that out of the way we can all be friends" Nikki said excitedly. Then Rahul started talking,
"You may think that we're being ridiculous about rule no. 1 but we have problems with him. He is our rival and by asking us to do something he will pull a prank, so it isn't really a rule but for your own safety" he explained, and then Atul joined in the conversation.
"Yeah like last time he asked me if I could hold the door open for him and as soon as I opened it a bucket full of green goo poured out from it and went all over me. I was made fun of the whole week" Atul finishes of his little story a little upset.
"its ok A its ok, what Atul means is that we've all been humiliated by Armaan and his clan and we still will be but If we avoid him than they will never find out our plans of revenge" Rahul smirks. One of my eyebrows shot up.
"So you got back at him?"
"Yeah obviously, you didn't think we were that nave did you? We never let him get away with it." They all smile brightly at some memory that they were all thinking of. I think this is going to be a beautiful friendship.
Armaans Point of View
I walk with my friends down the corridors at lunch when I see our rivals 'Nikki, Atul, Rahul' talking to that new girl. They're probably begfriending her to make their group larger. Nikki and I used to be friends when we were little but we don't like telling people, but ever since 2nd grade we hated each other and have groups which are rivals. Any way the new girl looks kinda, cute as soon as I dump Simran I'll ask her out. She can't say no to me, no-one does. All girls want to go out with me. But she has this sort of edge to her so I just keep staring at her to see what she'll do next. Right now I don't care that my cast is talking to me, I zoned out as soon as they did. Sometimes I do wander why I'm friends with this lot, but I guess Sid and Rohan are alright. I mean Sid and I have been friends since 3rd grade. Then I heard the most annoying voice trying to get my attention.
"Armaannnn '. Ammmmyyyyy' ARMAAN!!" Simran screamed
"What?" I asked her, she ruined me moment of looking at the new girl so I was pretty pissed.
"You've been staring at that s**t every since you saw her" she whined
I got angry at her for some reason and felt like saying sarcastically at her "no darling you're the biggest s**t here"but as usual I didn't, she's my girlfriend for publicity and I have to keep my reputation up.
"Yeah she's really weird and she's hanging around with our rivals. Maybe we could use her to get back at them when they threw water balloons at us." I stated. Nice save I congratulated my self. Then after I look around and see evil smiles from all of my friends.
Riddhimas Point of View
After that the whole day passed by, it was time for me to go home and tell my mum how my day went. I said bye to my new friends and got in my car and started driving, when I got there I parked the car and as soon as I got out of the car something hit me and I felt myself fall to the ground. When I looked up to see what had hit me I see Armaan standing there brushing himself of as if I had creased his top whereas I actually FELL to the ground.
"Watch where you're going" he said angrily. Now that just pissed me off, who was he to say that to me when he should be looking where he was going and he should be the one to apologize.
"Watch where YOU'RE going, you're the one that hit me AND I fell to the ground" I scream at him. He just stood there shocked and with his mouth open, he slid his sunglasses off to get a better look at me.
"WHAT?" I asked him as he was still staring "Never had a girl apart from your mom shout at you like that Malik?" I snickered
"Wait how do you know my name? Oh wait every one knows my name because I am the greatest Ammy" he said proudly.
"Conceited much?" I asked in a low voice almost speaking to myself but he heard.
"HEY, NO-ONE speaks to Armaan Malik like that, I don't care if you are new you'll see what's coming" he tried to threaten me.
"You think I'm threatened? And FYI I just did speak to you like that" I showed him that I don't care and he can't do anything about it.
"You're not gonna know what hit you Gupta" he said trying to threaten me again.
"FINE" I screamed.
"FINE" he screamed back.
"GOOD" I shouted.
"GOOD" he said back.
And with that I went in my house thinking of "who the hell does that boy think he his".
Armaans Point of View
Who the hell does that girl think she is? She obviously doesn't know this town and how everyone acts around me. I guess I'll just have to show her someday because NO-ONE talks to AMMY like that and gets away with it. NO-ONE.
"Chad is that you honey?" I heard my mom ask.
"Yes it's me" I answered her.
"Oh good just wanted to tell you that I've baked a batch off cookies and DO NOT EAT THEM because were all going down to the new neighbours to give them a welcome" she said as my mouth hanged open the second time today. It's amazing how she has that effect on me. What she has no effect, who is this? I'm your conscience duhhh.Well get out of my head. Any way I guess I'll just have to get ready because I know my mum and she definitely will not let this slide.
Riddhimas Point of View
We were about to have dinner and my mom even laid out the table when I heard the door bell DING DONG
"Riddhu!, could you please get that" my mom asked from the kitchen.
"Sure mom" I answered
I go to the front door to open it and when I do I see two pairs of blue eyes staring back at me. I see a pretty woman with light brown hair in the front holding a plate of cookies. And behind her stood a boy, it took time for my mind to register but when it did all I thought was "oooh shit"
