Part Eight

Angad

Josh hit the switch to turn the light on. Although calling the illumination the bulb gave off 'light' was really exaggerating. Shadows loomed around us. The closet reeked of ammonia and dirty mops water. I was wedged between Josh and Raj. And the guy Josh had hauled in here was straddled over the mop bucket.

I recognized him now. I'd seen him eating lunch with Kripa a couple of times. Joydeep. He struck me as someone who would hang out with Kripa. He pushed his thick-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose every time they slid down, which was two seconds after he pushed them up. And he seemed to swallow a lot, like maybe his mouth was dry and he was searching for spit.

"Hand it over," Josh ordered.

Joydeep's gaze darted between Raj & me like he though we knew what was going down. I just stood there nodding, probably giving him the impression that I did. After all, it would be so totally not cool to admit that I didn't have a clue as to the reason that we'd had to dodge into this cramped, smelly closet.

With a weary sigh Joydeep slung his backpack off his shoulder, reached inside, pulled out some papers, and held them out. Probably some detailed secret codes or tips that would allow Josh to beat some video game. Josh and I had been friends since the first days of Zelda, and even back then he was always bugging me to find out how he could reach the next level.

Josh snatched the papers from Joydeep's hand. "Thanks, shrimp."

Raj reached back, unlocked the door, and opened it just enough that they could both slip out. That gave me a little more room to maneuver.

Joydeep started to brush past me, but I put my hand on his shoulder. He sorta hunched his shoulders like he though I was going to punch him or something. Suddenly I felt like a jerk. I mean. This guy was half my size. And even if he weren't, why would I want to hit him.

"Joydeep, right?" I asked.

He just bobbed his head like he was afraid that he might be giving me the wrong answer.

"Relax, dude, I just want to ask you a question, okay?"

He straightened his shoulders, but he still looked like he was expecting something bad to happen.

"Why wont Kripa go to the dance with me?" I asked.

He looked as stunned as I had felt yesterday. His mouth dropped open, and his eyes got really big and round under his glasses. I couldn't decide if he was shocked that I'd asked him a question at all or shocked that I'd asked him a question about a girl. Probably the latter.

Okay, so maybe the guy wasn't the brightest bunny in the burrow when it came to understanding girls. Even if the girl was his friend.

So much for that tactic. I wasn't making any progress with Kripa at school. Maybe she felt like I owned this turf, and that put her off, made her wary or uncomfortable. I did kind of saunter around like I was ruler of my domain. I decided that I needed to approach her on neutral territory. "What's she doing today after school?"

He squinted as if he only trusted me as far as he could throw me, and judging by how think his arms were, that wouldn't be far. "Why do you want to know?"

"Duh! I asked her to the dance, and she said no, so I wanna find out why." I didn't think there was a whole lot of risk in confessing this fact to Joydeep.

Joydeep started blinking really fast, like Kripa did, staring at me as if he thought I was nuts. Maybe I was. Any other girl at this school would have shouted on the school intercom system that I'd asked her to the dance. Here Kripa had obviously not even told someone she ate lunch with everyday.

"So, dude," I prodded. "What's she doing after school?"

"Today we're doing volunteer work for PAL at the animal shelter," he finally revealed cautiously.

I raised my eyebrows. "PAL."

He gave me another what-an-idiot look. "Peer, Academics, Leadership."

"Right, I knew that." I really did. I just didn't pay much attention to the organization. After all, I had a life, and it didn't leave any room for club activities. "Thanks."

I opened the door and stepped out of the janitor's closet, right into the path of the girl of my nightmares. Kripa.

I flashed her a grin and slung my arm around Joydeep's shoulder. Of course, he did that hunched-shoulder-drawing-his-in turtle imitation, which made him shorter, so I had to lean over. A totally uncool stance.

But I figured it was worth it to earn a few points with her. I mean, after all, I was chumming up with her friend.

She glared at me. Her dark eyes smoldering. "Give it back," she demanded.

In surprise at her outburst, I slid my arm off of Joydeep's shoulder and straightened. "What?"

"Give it back now!" she insisted in a low, threatening voice.

"Give what back?" I asked, totally stunned.

"He… he's not the one," Joydeep stammered.

Huh? The one. What was going on here?

Grabbing his arm, she hurried him down the hall as if I had contracted Ebola virus and they needed to escape before I breathed on them.

I wasn't accustomed to people wanting to get away from me. I stood there absolutely still for the longest time, trying to understand what was happening.

What had she wanted me to give back? Something obviously belonging to Joydeep since he'd told her I wasn't the one. The one?

Geeks. No wonder I didn't hang around them. They made no sense. Had their own secret code or something.

Shaking my head, I started sauntering down the hallway toward my first boring class of the day. I saw Josh opening the door to his locker.

The hairs on the back of my neck prickled as I thought about how intimidated Joydeep had looked in the janitor's closet. I strode up to Josh. "Hey what did you take from the nerd?"

Josh slammed his locker door closed and grinned cockily. "His chemistry homework."

That made no sense to me. Why did Josh want the little guy to get zero in chemistry. "Why?"

"Dude! My dad wants me to go to med school, so I gotta ace chemistry," he explained.

I nodded with understanding. "So your comparing answers against him?"

"No, man," Josh said in a voice that hinted my question was not cool and maybe I wasn't for asking. "I'm putting my name on his work and turning it in."

Not cool. I was on the verge of telling him that when it occurred to me that I'd just sound like my dad. Which would be as uncool as what Josh was doing.

Besides, it really wasn't my business, right?

Ok guys, that was the next part, hope u like it!!! I know it's a bit boring, trust me it will get interesting in the next two parts, I promise!!!
