2.Leave Me Alone
"Get in Gupta,"
Khushi's P.O.V
My brother and ' who I now know was called Arnav Singh Raizada (through serious probing by me) were what Rohit had called 'associations'. Apparently he helped him out and vice versa. By 'helped out' he obviously meant in supplying drugs, something like that anyway. So incidentally I tried to push it to the back of my mind.
But it was pretty hard seeing as I couldn't seem to shake off the look in Arnav's eye when he said 'I promise' it was haunting me and I wasn't sure why. But I was sure that I wanted the feeling to fade, and quick.
It wasn't like I was going to see him again, so why he was having such an effect on me I was a mystery. But I was determined to get this evasive guy out of my head ' he was corrupt ' a demon in the eyes of the lord and he internally screamed trouble.
I was sat back in my brother's car, even though he himself didn't go to school, his one of many duties as a 'good' son was to take me to and from school and thankfully his bad boy antiques didn't let his side of the deal down ' most of the time anyway.
He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly clearing his throat as if he wanted desperately to say something but he didn't quite know how. "Just spit it out Rohit" I said quietly not being able to deal with his anxious behaviour any more.
"You're not going to tell mum and dad are you?" he asked a guilty glint in his eyes, "About last night, I mean," he added answering my question that was on the tip of my tongue.
I shook my head staring out of the window staring in detail at tree after tree that we drove past. I felt extremely uncomfortable talking about those types of things. It was so unfamiliar to me and I hated to think that beyond his sweet exterior he could be a monster like the ones you see on TV.
Not that I'm allowed to watch any TV content that has an age limit of below twelve mind you. I may be fifteen but dad says he doesn't want me to see anything bad, like he wanted me to think that life was all unicorns and rainbows ' but I knew it was far from that.
Saying that, I had watched a couple of 'disallowed' TV programs. Mainly through my friends when I was at their houses. Not that my dad knew about those few selected occasions though, he'd go crazy if he found out.
"But remember what I said, stay away from Raizada," he shook his head a hand running through his hair absentmindedly "He's bad news."
_____________________________________________________________________
I was lent up against the wall of the school mentally cursing Rohit for turning up late. The normally fully packed crowds of people that swarmed the parking lot were now just a distant memory away and I found myself being the only one here.
I gripped onto the ends of my jumper sleeves, it was mid winter meaning it was spitefully cold and I did not want to be standing out here. I was going to go crazy at Rohit when he turned up. I had been left in the cold one too many times.
"Khushi, what are you doing here?" Nand Kishore (NK), head of the math committee (yes that does exist) spoke up beside me. I quickly turned to him flashing him a smile as he mirrored my actions.
"My inconsiderate brother just so happens to have forgotten about me," I laughed making sure he knew that I was only joking. He may be late but he hadn't forgotten about me ' well I hoped he hadn't anyway.
"Do you need a lift?" he asked me. I was just about to accept, after all the chances of Rohit turning up now were pretty slim, but instead the sound of a car screeching and pulling up beside us interrupted me.
A darkened blacked out window of a jet black Cadillac swiftly rolled down revealing a person who had taken over my thoughts much of last night and this morning and who I very much wanted to avoid ' Arnav Singh Raizada.
My mouth flew open, my eyes narrowing, making sure that it was actually him and that I wasn't seeing things. I had been standing out in the bitterness for an hour; it was bound to make my mind go loopy.
But no such luck as I checked several times, it was him and he flashed a familiar smirk that immediately made my knees go weak.
"Get in Gupta," he told me a smirk still on his face but a tint of serious evident in his voice. I turned to NK, "Is this man bothering you?" NK asked concern laced in his voice making Arnav snicker from behind me.
"No" I quickly said, not wanting him to worry. "He's erm," I added trying to find a word to describe his so called 'relationship' with my brother. I couldn't say, as my brother had put it - 'associations'. That sounded suspicious and the last thing I needed was for NK to go and tell someone. They would incidentally know my dad ' everyone seemed to know my dad.
"My brothers friend," I settled, I feigned a smile reassuring him so it didn't seem too unlike me. He nodded returning the smile. "If you say so, see you around Khushi," he beamed before walking out and I let out a breath, that until now, I didn't realise I was holding in.
"Get in Gupta," Arnav replied putting more emphasis on Gupta this time. "He told me not to talk to you," I admitted fiddling with my hands out of nervousness, a familiar feeling that I kept on getting when being around him.
Then again I got nervous easily. I was quite shy, not the type of person to in any sort of way be cocky ' not like the boy standing in front of me. But this was a different type of nervous, and I hadn't felt it before. And I wanted desperately for it to go away; I didn't like the effect he had on me. I wanted him to leave me alone, but for some reason I don't think that's going to happen.
"He asked me to take you home, he had-" he trailed off as if he was trying to think of a word that fitted, "business to deal with," he continued a slight sinister tone to his voice. It was surely unexpected that Rohit had asked Arnav to pick me up ' he had only this morning told me to stay away from him so this wasn't really doing so.
"Now get in," he demanded making me inwardly roll my eyes, not that I was brave enough to actually do. He intimated me ' big time and I sure enough wasn't going to anger him. My brother had warned me about him and that was enough to make me run a million miles.
After what seemed like hours, but it in fact was only minutes, and countless incisive decisions in my mind of whether to get in his car I finally made up my mind. I reluctantly moved my feet from the ground, which was now seeming hard to do as being under his gaze weirdly made my body tremble, I walked around to the passenger side of his car and got in.
"Took you long enough," he snickered, turning the key in one swift movement, igniting the ignition and speeding out of the school parking lot and onto the highway.
His car looked just as good on the inside as it did on the outside. Sure my family was pretty rich, but we were taught that luxuries were frivolous things. And extravagant things such as expensive cars were not something to toy about with.
"So we meet again, Khushi," he said, my name rolling off his tongue in pleasure making my stomach flutter. What was up with these indifferent feelings he was giving me, all I knew is I didn't like it ' not one bit.
"Who was that," he paused as if he was trying to find the right word, "charming boy you were with," he snickered as if it was the funniest thing in the world. I, on the other hand knew he was just being a chauvinistic typical arrogant guy and I ignored his attempt at being rude.
"NK, he's my friend," I told him simply a small smile on my face. He hummed thinking it over, "Your friend, eh?" he scoffed obviously amusing himself but I simply rolled my eyes when he wasn't looking, ignoring his obnoxious comment completely.
"So I hear you go to a private schoo,l" he changed the subject, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he let out a little snicker. why he snickered though had me clueless. What was so funny about going to a private school? It was a good means of education and it sure as hell didn't have any people like him in it, so what was not to like?
"Yes, what's wrong with that?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him suspiciously making him shake his head simultaneously as if he knew something that I didn't and his evasive behaviour was starting to bug me.
He raised his arms in defence playfully. "Oh nothing, it just gives me a good idea on the type of girl you are," he shrugged fully well knowing that he was now getting under my skin, and I couldn't help but to retaliate.
"And that is?" I asked trailing off unsure of where he was going to go with this.
"A good girl, you always get the best grades and you're daddy's little girl. You're completely innocent and have never drunk in your life."
I hung my head down a little trying to hide the crimson blush that I knew had crept up onto my cheeks by now. Everything he said was the complete and utter truth and it scared me to know how easily he could read me.
"I shouldn't be talking to you," I stated trying desperately to change the subject, I was starting to succumb to his meaningful digs and I didn't like the way he was making me feel so powerless.
"Exactly my point. You always play by the rules," he smirked to himself, fully well knowing he had just won that little talk. I ignored him looking out of the window desperately trying to ignore his psychosomatic ways.
He pulled up in my driveway (definitely not a euphemism) I blushed at even having that indecent thought. I, quick as ever, opened the car door wanting nothing more to get out of his car and I made a mental not to stay as far away from him as I could. He somehow did something to me ' played with my mind and it was driving me crazy.
"See you around, Khushi," a teasing smirk playing at the edge of his lips. No you most definitely will not ' well not if I can help it anyway. He was undeniably good looking, his eyes so significant that it made me feel like when I looked into them I would do anything he wanted me too ' and that's why I made sure to keep zero eye contact.
I quickly shut the door as lightly as I could, knowing with a car like that, he would go crazy if I even merely scratched it. I stumbled up my pathway, digging into my bag to find my key and quickly scrambled it into the lock, letting myself in and closing the door behind me abruptly.
As my brother had put it, he was 'bad news' and much to the delight of my brother, and probably my dad if he ever found out how I felt around him, I was going to try my best to stay away from him.
Arnav's P.O.V
I lay back against the beaten up couch, enjoying the high that the joint had just given me. Suzie, my latest floozy had just left. She was seventeen and boy was she a good f**k. What could I say my weakness was definitely younger girls.
Experienced girls were normally what I went for, whether they were sixteen or twenty. But lately the thrill of teaching someone so innocent everything I knew, was a fantasy I had played out countless times.
But since last night, no girl suited the match. Then Gupta's sister showed up and she might as well have had nun written across her forehead. She was pretty; I wasn't denying that at all. I mean for a vicar's daughter it was surprising how good looking she actually was.
But her unrevealing clothes, and her timid and unconfident attitude screamed innocence and it was something that I found an extreme turn on. I loved how nervous I made her feel ' it was obvious that I had an effect on her.
She was only fifteen though, and at eighteen that left a three year age gap. I had f**ked a fifteen year old before. Mind you she had already had sex a couple of times ' so I didn't steal her innocence.
But I couldn't help but feel attracted to her, I wanted to steal her innocence, even if that did sound crazy, which it did. I indeed was a sick, sick man. I laughed to myself slowly closing my eyes and enjoying the familiar high feeling letting it take over my body as I let myself to go to better place.
