CHAPTER 5
I turned around to see what Abhimanue meant by that and found a group of five people standing together. Their group was somewhat similar to that of Aryaman's. It had two girls and boys out of which one girl was a complete fashionista just like Mukti, a guy who seemed a bit stern and indifferent like Madhyam, another girl who was pretty much like me and could have been the Soha of that group, another guy who seemed joyous and friendly and carried a loving aura like Abhimanue. At last there was another guy, like Aryaman, seemed pretty much famous and popular since every girl was drooling over him, he had a straight posture and a weird and attractive aura. I was facing his back and so wanted to see his face, and as if he read my mind, in a giffy he turned around and i found myself staring into an ocean of chocolate brown eyes. We were just stuck there, staring at each other, ignorant of the noise and chaos around, it felt as if we were lost, lost in each other. I wouldnt have mind staring into those beautiful eyes only if Aryaman's voice had not broken my stance. So the dogs are finally here huh!!! now that seemed really rude. Aryaman was a nice guy i believe, he was nice to me which was extremely rare for me, he had a nice group of friends; such comment from him was shocking, disturbing and disgusting. I was trying to advocate the other group for an unknown reason when i should have been advocating Aryaman. My mind was fighting which side to take, both of them made me feel so connected with them."Who are they?" My question surely irked two people in the group, first Soha who kind of made that I knew you would ask that face and secondly Aryaman who seemed insecure and irritated with my question, as if i asked something i wasnt supposed to, or as if he was willing i wouldnt ask that question. Sensing the tension within Aryaman and Soha regarding my question, Mukti answered me. " Well they are our classmates, or rather enemies. We never talk to each other and try to avoid them" "But why Mukti" My questions were bogging everyone over there. "Because they are dangerous Nandini" this time Abhimanue answered me. "Dangerous! in what sense i mean how are they dangerous?" " they just are, believe us, and it will be good for you if even you ignore and avoid them" The way Abhimanue was explaining me things seemed strange, i could sense a natural, mutual and a very strong feeling of hatred in his and everyone else's tone and eyes. The case was same with the other group. I again turned around to see them or rather HIM and saw them settling down on a small bench far away fro the crowd. Though they seemed as popular and famous and Aryaman and group but something that i was sure about was, they were'nt very accepted by the crowd and that people avoided them. I was still looking at that point, i could sense even from this big a distance that the guy was trying really hard not to look towards me, i could read it in his body language. An unkown smile crept over my face when i realised this. " The one with green eyes and a big smile is Cabir." Madhyam's voice startled me. Cabir was the one who was similar to Abhimanue. "The girl who is wearing that dress is Aliya" Aliya was a a complete photocopy of Mukti, she had the same aura and mannerism as Mukti," the guy with messy hair is Dhruv, Aliya's boyfried." Madhyam and Dhruv seemed like brothers to me, both of them were so similar," that girl who is sitting near Cabir and honestly seems like the only normal person there is Navya, Cabir and Navya have been dating since ninth standard and are still the same" Navya was my look alike, i mean we both had very different faces, but i believe our body languages and attitude was the same," And that guy, who has those chocolate brown eyes is Manik" Manik, so his name was manik, i recited his name in my mind and was shocked to see goosebumps all over my hand, and then suddenly all of them looked towards me and even when i wanted to look away, i just couldnt do that, and this time it was Manik's turn to smirk. The recess soon got over with those starings and different comments that i got to hear from Aryaman and friends and about Manik and group. The next three periods got over swiftly and finally it was time for english class. I was sitting with Aryaman who was joking with one of is friends when suddenly i felt a weird need to look at the door and as soon as i did that, i could see Manik and group enter. All of them had the same attitude and aura like the one i had witnessed them in the canteen. A part of me was happy but a part was angry! I dont know but i felt weird for them , and not jusT them but for Aryaman and group too, i liked them but there was something in me which also made me dislike them and this further disturbed me. i was still staring at them and could feel Aryaman's body stiffen up when they took their seat just the row beside me. The rest of the period was spent in a desperate attempt by me to concentrate on the lesson rather than the group of those five people who made me feel weird sensations. School got over and Aryaman found my mother cool when he got to know i was living alone while the others laughed at that weird face that i made. It was night and i was sitting on my bed and thinking about the day's events, there were many questions that i now had, but most importantly there were two things that were just not leaving my mind. Those smokey grey eyes of Aryaman and those beautiful chocolate brown eyes of Manik. i was confused, Aryaman was attractive but Manik, Manik was intriguing, and that was much more difficult to cope up with
