OF DARK CLASSROOMS AND EMPTY HALLWAYS
________________________________________________________________________________
Charlie
It was too damn hot for this manual labor!' Charlie muttered curses at the person who decided it was okay to leave a freakin' banana lying in the middle of the freakin' hallway.
He wondered if the school had CCTV cameras so he could hunt down the halfwit son of a gun that left the damn banana there. He stopped to think.
What if it was a girl?
Well, then he'd just have to disarrange her purse or throw it off the roof or something. He smirked. Girls in Warrior High would go berserk if he so much as looked at their bag. Especially, the 3rd years.
His smirk turned into a frown. Damn. He wondered when he boarded the dark humor ship.
Probably got influenced by that wack job, Ayaz. After all, he was the freakin' captain of that ship.
Okay, so maybe he was going overboard with his thoughts but so were the damn teachers of this school. And like they say, "like teacher, like student." Okay, maybe the words were different but who the hell cared anyway. He was freaking pissed!
Charlie grunted as he got back on his knees and continued cleaning, scrubbing the ground with a towel. He scoffed as he remembered the principal ranting about how they made "Warriors" here. He stopped scrubbing. What if they decided to send them to the army or something as punishment?
Shit. He didn't think about that.
Nah. That would be too extreme. But still"he glanced at the towel in his hands"they could've given them proper tools and such. How expensive was a freakin' mop anway?
Maybe this was supposed to instill that so called bloody term discipline' in them.
He rolled his eyes. The elderly. They thought they knew everything just because they lived longer. Idiots. Couldn't work a freakin' cell phone even if their life depended on it.
Whatever,' inwardly scoffing, he decided to let it go since it was good exercise for his biceps. He was also glad Niti wasn't there to see his freakin' nosedive into the freakin' floor.
By a banana.
He pulled his hands up from the ground. For a moment, he just stood there on his knees, quizzically staring ahead before his face registered something.
Where the hell did that miniature rocket blast off to anyway?
He took the wet towel in his hands and furiously threw it at the empty hallway.
She was supposed to be helping him clean!
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
"...Choo!" Niti sneezed and rubbed her nose. She felt a shudder go up her spine. Was somebody's eyes on her? Or maybe a guy was thinking about her?
Yeah,' she wished.
Maybe Charlie was? She blushed for half a second before scoffing. He's probably wondering why she wasn't helping him clean the hallway.
She wanted to. She really did. But she had a more important thing to do right now.
She peeked into the classroom scrutinizing her friend, Utkarsh, as he grabbed an eraser to to erase the chalkboard.
She knew it! That girl would go ahead and make him do all the work. Niti made a move to go teach her a lesson when some guys who passed behind her whispered about something that caught her attention. They did not just say...!
________________________________________________________________________________
Utkarsh
He looked behind him and sighed.
He forced a smile on his face when she arched her brow at him and threw a questioning look as if to say from where the hell did even get the audacity, to look at her and sigh. The Queen of the School?
He turned back to the chalkboard and immediately scowled.
Girls...' He inwardly sighed.
Besides Niti and Siyali, of course.
Sort of.
________________________________________________________________________________
Krissan
Boys will be boys. Krissan sighed. She wanted to but she just couldn't ignore how many times the poor fella would look back at her and ogle over her very existence. Sure, she was amazingly hot and guys couldn't resist staring at her but he could at least try not to be so obvious about it. She rolled her eyes and sighed again as she polished her last nail. Her face crinkled in discontent when she finished.
Shit.
She applied the wrong color.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
He didn't know why he was here. That damn teacher got him just for standing there. Or maybe because she knew he was a part of their gang. Well, so what if he was? What was she gonna do about it.
Pssht...she already did, smartass. He inwardly cursed himself. Oohh, he just wanted to punch something so bad right now. His eyes glared back and forth between the wall in front of him and the stack of papers in his hand tempting him to allow them to meet with a force so strong"
"Parth, you're doing it wrong."
He looked up quickly, his expression slowly relaxing at the sight of Vibha ma'am. Was it just him or was she looking more beautiful/graceful/gorgeous/stunning/engaging"shit, he was getting carried away now.
He looked away from her, trying hard not to think about how lovely she appeared today while fighting down the incoming blush at their close proximity.
Except, something entirely unexpected happened which caused him to furrow his eyebrows.
He scowled down at her flying locks"did someone turn on the fan somewhere?"they were blocking his view of her gorgeous face and he didn't like that one bit! He resisted the urge to place those soft, lustrous locks back to their rightful position behind her ear.
"See how I did it?"
Parth blinked, Vibha's voice snapping him from his thoughts. "You have to organize them according to the student's last name." Finishing, she tapped the stack of papers on the table and smiled up at him.
"Samjhe?"
His stern, rigid face gently broke into a smile matching her cute and innocent one.
The strands dangling on her face held little importance to him now as he drowned himself in her deep brown pupils.
"...Samajha."
He was too busy smitten.
________________________________________________________________________________
Krissan
She sighed for millionth time"okay, that was an exaggeration but it certainly did feel like somewhere near it.
She couldn't believe she was held up in the most boring place with the most boring guy on earth at the most boring time of the day! Seriously! The whole school was freakin' sleeping right now. I mean, they could've given them till after classes to serve their punishment but nooo...,they had to stress their point by having them do it early. Way too early.
She frowned at her reflection in the mirror. One day's lack of beauty sleep totally ruined her complexion. They needed to finish quickly so she could at least grab an hour of sleep.
She peeked from behind her hand mirror to glance at the weird boy who carried a frog and called it his "mom."
She sighed, deciding that the least she could do was to help the pitiful chap who had a forever lasting, unrequited crush on her.
Too bad for him.
She was committed.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
"AAAHHH!-"
"She threw the ball in her hand at Sid's shrieking face, silencing him.
Why did that looney tunes' always have to scream when he saw her?
________________________________________________________________________________
Utkarsh
"How do I look?"
He snorts and passes her a look of disbelief. "The same way you did when you asked me"-he stops to look at his watch-"5 minutes ago." He wasn't used to girls like her. Girls like her were tiring and unpredictable. And he didn't like that because he'd never know what their next plan of course would be. And when he does come to know, he wouldn't have enough time to react to it.
Take this moment for example, when she cunningly"or to be nice, because he was always ready to be nice"willingly decided to get up and help him clean the light fixture above them.
Because it was the last thing left.
They were now in the middle of the classroom as she stood on a stool wiping off the dust from the lamp that strangely dangled at her shoulder. Who the heck installs a ceiling lamp that low?
"I need to clean the bulb...it's dirty." Krissan's voice distracts him from pondering over the technical quality of the school.
"Take it out, first," He instructed.
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know how."
Utkarsh just gaped.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
"-Siddy."
"It's Sid!"
"It's a nickname!"
Sid growls at the back of his throat. "You're breaking our guy code, creep!" He yells at Niti as she increases her speed. How the hell was she running that fast?
"Look who's talking, sleazeball! Freakin' embarrassment to humanity, you are!" Niti turns around and sticks out her tongue at him"
"See ya around, Siddy."
"before turning a corner and disappearing.
Did she freakin' take some kind of power boost early in the morning or something? Maybe she had one of those Sonic The Hedgehog Bubble Gum that probably gave her freakin' Super Speed or something.
Shit. He wanted some of that.
He chased after her as fast as he could, not about to let her have it all to herself.
________________________________________________________________________________
Krissan
She frowned at the way he was gawking at her like she was some stupid tube-light girl who didn't know how to remove a freakin' bulb.
Except she was.
She clicks her fingers in his face, snapping him out of never-ending trance. "Stop staring and show me how to do it!" She barks at him, crossing her arms.
Utkarsh breaks out his trance as he shakes himself. "Just hold it and turn it clockwise," he advises.
"Clockwise?"
"Like this," he demonstrates by turning his hand in a weird way.
"Why is this so difficult?" Krissan gripes in frustration, suddenly missing her house. Whenever something broke, they'd just have the servants replace it.
Her eyes lit up in determination.
If the servants could do it, then she could too!
She made a move for the bulb when Utkarsh suddenly treads onto the ottoman stool, joining her.
Startled at the sudden closeness, she takes a step back, almost falling off the stool when"in slow motion and like a cheesy, romantic movie scene"he grabs her by the waist, locking eyes with her and pulls her back up.
"You, ok?"
"...Mmn."
Utkarsh suddenly grabs her palm with his free hand, making her heart involuntarily beat faster. She didn't notice when her arm had found its way around his shoulder.
She gasps as he takes her hand and places it onto the bulb, gently turning it and setting the apathetic, lifeless organ in her chest alive and ablaze.
"This is how you do it." Utkarsh smiles down at her once they take off the bulb, his arm still wrapped around her waist.
He remains oblivious to the slight pink in her cheeks warming her face as his fingers delicately linger over hers, holding the bulb between them.
Dammit, Heart.
Slow down.
________________________________________________________________________________
Utkarsh
He parted from her slowly, missing the brief warmth from her body as he let go of her and stepped down from the ottoman.
You know...," He heard Krissan begin after regaining poise.
"We could not clean and say we did," she offered, smirking down at him as she put the bulb back onto the lamp. He didn't exactly dislike how she looked when she smiled down at him like that.
Krissan was clever. And she'd show it too. Quite well, in fact. The problem was that she didn't have an agenda which a girl like her especially, should have.
"Or we could clean and say we did," Utkarsh countered while stuffing his hands in his pockets. Smirking, he knew Niti'd be proud of what he was about to do.
So he kicked the stool out from under her, unflinching when her bottom hits the ground with a thud.
Cuteness and smiles aside, she totally deserved it.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
He walks around the hallway looking for a certain midget when he turns a corner and bumps into someone.
"Sorry"-He stops short of his apology and scoffs when he realizes who he bumped into.
"Sid, my best friend," Ayaz drawls and smirks. "You done cleaning?"
Sid matches his taunting smirk. "Not yet, janitor on duty."
"It's supervisor."
"Whatever makes you happy, janitor on duty." Sid ignores Ayaz's piercing glare and inquires, "Did you happen to see"He gives himself two seconds to remember her name when he just dismisses it instead and says, "a girl that's about"-Sid lifts his foot a few inches from the ground and eyes it"-this tall?"
At Ayaz's self-indulgent stare, Sid rolls his eyes and adds, "supervisor."
Ayaz knew who he was talking about but feigned ignorance simply because he aspired to be A1 in dark humor and because, well, just...because.
"Sorry, haven't seen anyone like that." Ayaz smirks. "Not yet, at least."
Sid gives him a look that says, "I don't believe you but I'll let it go since I don't wanna smash your face into the wall right now."
"Whatever." Sid walks past him purposely or unpurposely shoving his shoulder into his when Ayaz stops him.
"You could've gotten out of this, you know. Ayaz smirks and continues, "By crying your way over to your "mom."
Sid matches his taunting smirk. "Seeing as how "Dipshit Ayaz" suggested it, that's something "Dipshit Ayaz" would do."
Ayaz laughs, putting a finger to his chin as if considering something" "I would, you know"-before waving it off, "But I don't cry to old ladies, so, I'mma just head over to Vibha ma'am and play my charm on her."
Sid makes a move at at him for his comment over his mom. "bas***d, I swear I'll pop your head off!"
Which is right when Parth storms over in a rage and punches Ayaz right between the eyes.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
Where was he? She needed to find him ASAP.
She stopped running and placed her hand on a wall as she caught her breath. She cursed at Sid for making her run so damn much.
Her ears perked up when she heard something that sounded like a snoring hippo.
She peeked from the corner of the hallway, hoping she wouldn't see someone who'd make her run again when she spotted a certain dunderhead sleeping.
On the floor.
Niti's lips quirked up in relief as she neared the person.
She simply tapped him with her foot when he suddenly woke up and hysterically screamed"-I am NOT joining the militia!"
"What?" Choosing to ignore his insane spectacle, she continued. "Charlie...I..I need...help," She breathed out, still gasping for air.
Charlie scowled once he realized the situation. "I'm the one who needs help!"
"I can see that," Niti mocked, before quickly pleading, "But I asked first!"
"Don't care," Charlie deadpanned.
She frowned at his childish response. "Fine. I'll just take Utkarsh with me."
"If Krissan lets him go, yeah."
She hesitated, "...Parth?"
"Your hero's busy stacking sheets."
She crosses her arm and says, "Then I'll just get Ayaz to go with me."
"Who?"
Niti just bats her eyes at him.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
FROM WHERE THE HELL"?
He was at a loss for words.
WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH THIS FREAKIN' DUDE!
Was this freakin' crackpot on crack? Impassive freak. Sid wanted to stop and remember if he ever saw this stoic freak blink even once but figured he had more delicate issues at hand.
Sid's mouth hung wide open as his eyes darted back and forth between Parth and a now unconscious Ayaz, lying on the floor.
He smacks his forehead.
And does a complete 180 and bangs his head on the wall.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
He was glaring at the creep's unconscious body when he heard the other creep slap himself and turn around.
He watched incredulously as Sid quietly ranted to himself something about how "you're not supposed to go around punching faces less than 24 hours from receiving a punishment by the principal."
All the while, repeatedly banging his head on the wall.
He couldn't believe he was stuck with these two yahoos. Why did he even bother to listen to their crap? Why did he bother to intervene? Well, of course he couldn't just walk past that jerk's nonsense about a girl. And what was worse, it was his girl.
But damn.
He looked back at Ayaz and sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
He didn't mean to knock him out.
________________________________________________________________________________
Siyali
She was almost done rearranging the books on the shelves when she stopped and sighed.
"Bas***d." She glared at the book in her hand. Where the hell did he hop over to anyway?"
"Oh stop!" Sid waves her off smiling as if she just complimented him before deadpanning, "But, seriously, a girl shouldn't talk like that, you know?"
"And a guy shouldn't leave a girl to do all the work, you know?" Siyali instantly retorts, unsurprised at his sudden appearance.
He lazily reaches over to pick up a book from the carpet floor when a pair of hands penetrated his vision and snatched it.
"Hey, I was about to get that."
"Sure you were." Siyali passes a dry look at Sid, reliving the memory of his hands smashing her face with his dinner. She walks over to the last empty shelf.
"Hey, I already said that I was sorry." Sid walks over and stops at the other side, looking at her through the shelf.
"And I said get lost, Sid." Siyali grabs a book and aligns it on the shelf.
"And when I did, you were missing me."
"I was not." She places another book next to it.
"Were too." And another.
"Was not." And one more when Sid grabs her wrist and smirks.
"Were too," He murmurs. "Don't deny it."
Siyali blushes furiously, unable to find her voice. Damn him. He was making her feel that damned feeling again. That one feeling she wanted to avoid at all costs. She felt something flutter in her chest and flow down to her stomach as he smiled at her and softly rubbed his thumb over her hand.
She furrowed her eyebrows at him angrily. "You think you're funny or something, Siddharth Rajput?"
Sid frowned at the way she took his name. "Then why are you avoiding me?"
"I don't avoid chumps."
"Oh, then you must meet them."
"What's it to you?"
"I don't like it."
"Like what?"
"Like you meeting them."
"Who's them?"
"I think you know who I'm talking about."
"Who, chumps?"
Sid exhaled in irritation. "Siyali! You're making me realize that self denial looks pathetic up close." "Why don't you just admit that you're ignoring me!"
"What makes you think I'm ignoring you?"
He snapped. "I don't know...maybe the fact that you ignore everything I say and even as I'm holding your hand and speaking to you, your big, beautiful eyes are still looking somewhere else!"
Siyali grabs his wrist with her captured hand and shoves it back at him.
"Because I don't want you to see my face that's as red as a pomegranate, idiot!"
Siyali eye's widen as she gasps.
Crap!
She wasn't supposed to say that!
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
He smirks at her violent reaction, pleased at her outburst. "So Siyali can shy away like a girl, huh? Who would'a guessed."
"Leave me alone, Sid."
"And she can sure hold grudges, too. For a long time."
"Shut up. And it hasn't even been a day yet."
"Oh, so you're counting down till you forgive me?"
Siyali just scoffs. "You attacked an innocent girl!"
"Innocent?..." He pretends to ponder for a second before he finishes, "I don't know about that."
"Get out! Before I throw you out!"
Sid smirks as he watches her turn around and grab her head in frustration forgetting her previous embarrassment. He had the ability to drive people insane. And he was proud of it too.
His smirk tightened when from the corner of his eyes he noticed a certain shrimp"who made him run after her while she swam across the entire school"scurry passed the library.
He'd have to put his developing, complex love story on hold.
Cause he had some police work to do.
________________________________________________________________________________
Charlie
"Okay, to the side, Charlie. One more. Yeah. You're doing great. Keep going. Keep breathing. One more. One more. Saans, Charlie, Saans!"
"I ain't giving birth Niti!" Charlie deadpanned as Niti instructed"well, mostly blabbered nonsensical crap.
"Got it!" Charlie yelled in glory as he grabbed the packet off the classroom door's frame completely ignoring the fact that he was currently dangling on top of the door frame.
"Crap, someone's coming!" "Hide, Charlie!"
To be frank, they looked really stupid with Charlie hanging on the doorway before swinging himself right into the classroom and Niti diving after him. They looked like one monkey pouncing on top of another monkey.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
He would have a limb cut off than admit he was scared. Shit scared to be exact. His heart was throbbing and the sweat on his palms caused him to slip off the wall once or twice like a ditzy"no wait, that was too girly"like a gawky"hold on a sec, that made him sound like a nerd. Let's use more manly terms here"like an uncouth. Yeah, that was better.
Anyway, it felt like a scene from a horror movie with him attaching himself to the wall while he peeked"well, tried to anyway"inside the classroom.
He could do this. After all, he wasn't scared when he dumped that batshit Ayaz's body into the storage closet. And why the hell was it so freakin' dark in there? It just added to the freakin' scary effect. He felt his heartbeat go on speaker in the empty hallway as he sneaked an inch closer to the doorway. He was scared something, or rather, someone would jump right out and onto his face. Was it even this freakin' classroom?
Yeah. It was. He smirked as he recalled seeing them "swan diving" at the sound of his footsteps like a pair of monkeys escaping from their circus home right into the classroom. He wanted to laugh when he saw them but decided not to because he'd just look stupid laughing out of nowhere.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
The door to the school's rooftop creaked open as Niti and Charlie peeked in. She was sure she saw him go this way.
She was fuming. Charlie, nonetheless. He made a joke out of them. That jerk.
Niti's eyes widened when she saw Sid and"what the heck was Siyali doing with him? Oh wait, they were cleaning the library together. But why was she here?
Her eyes zeroed in on Sid's hands and she elbowed Charlie in the gut to get him to notice.
They both rushed for their target.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
"You sure they went this way?"
"You doubt me?"
"N..no."
Parth sighed, trailing behind Utkarsh and Krissan as they made their way to the rooftop.
"It was Sid. I'm never mistaken when it comes to Sid. And he was with that girl."
"Hey." Utkarsh passed her a warning glare.
"Whatever." Krissan looked unaffected but didn't push it.
He didn't really know why he was following them but Parth just couldn't resist Utkarsh's puppy eyes when he came running to him asking for help.
They waited until Parth came up and turned the knob to the school's rooftop door.
Krissan gasped.
Utkarsh pointed.
Parth just arched a brow.
________________________________________________________________________________
Warriors
"Holy"Krissan began.
"Mother of God!" Utkarsh interjected.
WHAT THE HELL?' Krissan scrutinized the sky as she tried figure out what a shining star was doing on the rooftop.
HOW THE HELL?' Parth wondered how it got up there in the first place.
Everyone's eyes were wide open as they followed what they thought was at first a bird, then a ball, then as they looked closer, they realized, a person, that had launched themselves from one side of the roof to the other.
"GET THE HELL DOWN HERE, NITI!" Utkarsh pointed an accusatory finger at the sky. He felt betrayed that Niti decided to ditch school to go flying with the birds without informing him, when he noticed another"less shocking but more ridiculous"situation.
Krissan, Utkarsh, and Parth stared at Sid who was on top of Charlie who was being swung around with much needed effort by Siyali.
"What the-"
"Hell are you guys doing!? Utkarsh finished for Krissan. She wanted to stop and smack him for daring to interrupt her a second time but there was a more overriding situation to be dealt with currently.
"Utkarsh!" Siyali looked up and smiled in relief at him. Sid could only scowl at that since he was too engaged at the moment. "It's too crowded here already!"
"Utkarsh! Hurry and help me get this donkey"Niti slaps Sid's face"off Charlie!"
"Who you callin a donkey, gypsy!?" The last time he saw Niti, she was performing her "Super Spin Dash Attack." "And when the hell did you freakin' land on me?" He recalled that he did feel a powerful force hit his back but was too occupied to even notice.
"I teleported." Niti answers sarcastically.
"That is possible since you're so damn short"cough!"
Niti just tightens her grip on him.
Sid pinches her hands in response and the slight but powerful stinging pain loosens her grip around his neck until she lets go and lands on the ground with a small shriek. Siyali leaves Charlie to Sid and goes over to Niti.
"You ok, Niti?" Siyali helps Niti up.
"Yeah."
Sid grabs a fistfull of Charlie's hair and hollers, "Twerp! Do you know how hard it is to freakin' find this stuff!"
"Oh, I know!" Charlie yells through gritted teeth.
Sid drags Charlie crashing to the ground with him, strangling him in the process. Charlie shouts, "After being bossed around by Niti all day, you think I'm gonna just let you take it? Dream on, idiot!"
"And after chasing you all day after it, you think I'm gonna just let you have it?"
Charlie turns on his back-"You can have my foot!"-and kicks Sid off of him, helping himself up as he gasped for air after nearly being choked to death.
Except, Sid's mental and physical reflexes were faster so he retaliates by sticking his foot out, tripping Charlie and sending him pummeling to the ground again.
"There's more where that came from!"
Utkarsh steps in but declares out as soon as he receives a few hits from both parties.
Sid jumps on his feet and lunges his fist at Charlie, growling, "Damn you, Charlie! Whose side are you on anyway?"
Charlie ducks and grabs Sid in a headlock. "My own! I learned "selfishness" from you yesterday!"
"Yesterday"cough"was"cough" each man"-Sid stops to look at the girls, all of them raising their brows at him daring him to exclude them-"and woman for themselves!"
"Don't even get me started on yesterday, jerk! We're all here cause of you!" Charlie spat, as they went around in circles. He pushes Sid forward, out of his grasp.
"Cause of me?!" Sid stops himself from hitting the railing and turns to look at everyone.
They all had the same look on their faces.
Freakin' traitors.
Sid points an accusing finger at Parth. "You!" Sid eyed Parth who just stares at him as if to say, What?'
"It's not polite to point," Siyali tells him.
"I don't wanna be polite."-Sid ignores her advice and continues-"He was the one who threw his plate of noodles at me!"
"It actually landed on me instead." Krissan crinkled her nose in disgust at the memory.
"Don't blame me, dammit! How the heck was I supposed to shield you when you were practically fluttering about!" Sid defended himself.
"Sid, you're going crazy! I'm going to have to break up with you!" Krissan threatened.
"In your dreams! If anyone's breaking up with someone, it's gonna be me!" Sid claimed smugly.
"Nobody cares!" Niti screams wanting to put a halt to their uncalled and unasked-for, silly breakup.
"It actually gave her a nice, blonde makeover," Siyali offered.
"You!" Krissan who understood what Siyali was getting at, pointed a regal finger at Siyali.
"None of that changes the fact that Sid instigated Parth." Utkarsh defended his friend while trying to stop another fight from emerging, cause one look at Krissan, Siyali and Niti, and he could tell that that was exactly what they had in mind.
"How? By calling him a freakin' momma's boy?" Sid hollered incredulously, sparing a glance at Parth. Freakin' pansy was so freakin' sensitive. Damn punk would take anything until someone mentioned his mom. It was like the only time he ever showed human emotion. Not that he blamed him cause anyone one would react if you said something about their mom. Even Sid himself.
But don't get too carried away. Sid wasn't about to admit that he could actually understand where Poker Face was coming from and suddenly hop off into the sunset holding hands with him or some sappy shit like that.
"Exactly! And because of that, I had to spend my morning mopping the freaking hallways when I could've been resting my muscles!" Chariie complains.
"And I could've gotten up early to study," Siyali adds.
"And I could've been sleeping." Niti also adds.
"Me too." Krissan finally adds.
Sid scoffs. "Well sorry to disturb you ladies' program. Should've informed me in advance."
Charlie's eye twitched. Not an inkling of regret in that jerk. He was about to swing his fist at Sid again when he stopped and noticed his empty hand. He looked at his other hand. Empty.
Sid just chuckled at him. Charlie was looking pretty ridiculous with both hands in the air and a question mark on his face.
"What the"?"
"Good one, Siyali. You're learning from me." Sid grins at her.
Except it turns into a scowl once Siyali sticks her tongue out at him, grabs Utkarsh and makes a run for it.
"Siyali!"
Charlie smirks. "You're right. She is learning from you."
"Solo Player," he adds.
"Say that again punk! I dare you!" Sid threatens Charlie.
"I hate being ignored." Krissan complains.
"What makes you think we care?" Niti retorts.
Sid makes a move for the exit. "I'mma so beat the crap out of that frog boy! I swear!"
He finds himself unable to take a step further as he looks at the owner of the hand on his chest.
Shit. He forgot this guy was still here.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
"This is annoying!" Krissan turns on her heels deciding that this crap wasn't worth the last 10 minutes left for her beauty sleep.
"Yeah? Well, so is your voice and your face!" Niti sasses not caring whether Krissan heard it or not.
"Come on. Let's go." Charlie grabs Niti's hand leading her to the exit.
"But what about those two?" Niti worriedly adverts his attention towards the two figures who were now just verbally clashing.
"Who the hell cares about them? We didn't freakin' run all day long just to worry about those two brutes!" Charlie stops at Niti's hesitant face and adds, "Besides, they'll either just stare until one of them gets tired and leaves or they'll just stare until one of them gets tired and punches the other."
She wasn't exactly sure if Charlie was right about leaving those two alone like that. But he was right about their hard work hitting the dump.
So, she followed as Charlie jumped down the flight of stairs landing at the 3rd floor door.
She rolled her eyes"'show off'"and quickly went down the stairs.
They opened the door and headed to where Siyali could've taken Utkarsh.
And the thing in her hand.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid vs Parth
"What?" Sid half-hisses, half-snarls, already irritated at the turn of events as he smacks Parth's hand away. He so didn't want to deal with this guy's freakin' somber issues right now.
He heard Charlie yell something that sounded like, "Ignore him, Sid!"and scorning, "Dumbass punk thinks he's so freakin' great!"-before waving and heading out the exit with Niti, leaving him and Angry Bird' alone.
"Stay away from Utkarsh." Authority radiated from Parth's voice.
Sid smirked not feeling the least bit threatened. It took all of Parth's self control not to punch him in the damn face.
"Why?"-Sid clearly wanted to start another fight as he sneers-"Did he transform into your mom or something?"
Parth rebelled against self control and went ahead and punched the scoundrel square in the face.
It took Sid a second to recover from the unexpected hit before he"like the successful juvenile delinquent he strived to be"yelled a few incoherent curses and hurled his vengeful arm at him.
"Jackass, I'll make sure to dig a hole for you next to Ayaz!"
The sun rose as both charged at each other.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
He lay there, his eyes half way closed as stared into the now bright and blue sky. He didn't know how he got the strength to scowl at the orange glare that had invaded his vision and just...burned.
Parth gave a look to the moron lying a few inches away looking half alive half dead but mumbling about how delicious?"Parth stopped to think, 'freakin maniac'"something was.
Then again, he wasn't one to talk. He slowly reached for his head as it pounded not knowing whether it was from their recent joust or from the rowdy jerk's yelling and jumping about.
What the hell was this Sid going so crazy about anyway?
It was simple. All he had to do was let them have it but no...he chooses to prove that his brain was just as small as his fist. Parth didn't know how he'd handle this "pack of deranged idiots" for the whole week.
He felt his eyes close as he slowly drifted to sleep.
Shame.
When, it was just a pack of rainbow swirl lollipops

*Note*
Hey guys, hope you enjoyed this crazy adventure as much as I did while writing it! I just wanted to create a situation that involved all the warriors and I hope I kept all their characters in tact. It's been a while since I wrote something so I don't know if it was good.
Please do share your thoughts, positive or negative. It's all welcomed!đ
Thanks for reading and by the way, for those who are interested I've got a SidYali OS right around the corner!đ
Charlie
It was too damn hot for this manual labor!' Charlie muttered curses at the person who decided it was okay to leave a freakin' banana lying in the middle of the freakin' hallway.
He wondered if the school had CCTV cameras so he could hunt down the halfwit son of a gun that left the damn banana there. He stopped to think.
What if it was a girl?
Well, then he'd just have to disarrange her purse or throw it off the roof or something. He smirked. Girls in Warrior High would go berserk if he so much as looked at their bag. Especially, the 3rd years.
His smirk turned into a frown. Damn. He wondered when he boarded the dark humor ship.
Probably got influenced by that wack job, Ayaz. After all, he was the freakin' captain of that ship.
Okay, so maybe he was going overboard with his thoughts but so were the damn teachers of this school. And like they say, "like teacher, like student." Okay, maybe the words were different but who the hell cared anyway. He was freaking pissed!
Charlie grunted as he got back on his knees and continued cleaning, scrubbing the ground with a towel. He scoffed as he remembered the principal ranting about how they made "Warriors" here. He stopped scrubbing. What if they decided to send them to the army or something as punishment?
Shit. He didn't think about that.
Nah. That would be too extreme. But still"he glanced at the towel in his hands"they could've given them proper tools and such. How expensive was a freakin' mop anway?
Maybe this was supposed to instill that so called bloody term discipline' in them.
He rolled his eyes. The elderly. They thought they knew everything just because they lived longer. Idiots. Couldn't work a freakin' cell phone even if their life depended on it.
Whatever,' inwardly scoffing, he decided to let it go since it was good exercise for his biceps. He was also glad Niti wasn't there to see his freakin' nosedive into the freakin' floor.
By a banana.
He pulled his hands up from the ground. For a moment, he just stood there on his knees, quizzically staring ahead before his face registered something.
Where the hell did that miniature rocket blast off to anyway?
He took the wet towel in his hands and furiously threw it at the empty hallway.
She was supposed to be helping him clean!
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
"...Choo!" Niti sneezed and rubbed her nose. She felt a shudder go up her spine. Was somebody's eyes on her? Or maybe a guy was thinking about her?
Yeah,' she wished.
Maybe Charlie was? She blushed for half a second before scoffing. He's probably wondering why she wasn't helping him clean the hallway.
She wanted to. She really did. But she had a more important thing to do right now.
She peeked into the classroom scrutinizing her friend, Utkarsh, as he grabbed an eraser to to erase the chalkboard.
She knew it! That girl would go ahead and make him do all the work. Niti made a move to go teach her a lesson when some guys who passed behind her whispered about something that caught her attention. They did not just say...!
________________________________________________________________________________
Utkarsh
He looked behind him and sighed.
He forced a smile on his face when she arched her brow at him and threw a questioning look as if to say from where the hell did even get the audacity, to look at her and sigh. The Queen of the School?
He turned back to the chalkboard and immediately scowled.
Girls...' He inwardly sighed.
Besides Niti and Siyali, of course.
Sort of.
________________________________________________________________________________
Krissan
Boys will be boys. Krissan sighed. She wanted to but she just couldn't ignore how many times the poor fella would look back at her and ogle over her very existence. Sure, she was amazingly hot and guys couldn't resist staring at her but he could at least try not to be so obvious about it. She rolled her eyes and sighed again as she polished her last nail. Her face crinkled in discontent when she finished.
Shit.
She applied the wrong color.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
He didn't know why he was here. That damn teacher got him just for standing there. Or maybe because she knew he was a part of their gang. Well, so what if he was? What was she gonna do about it.
Pssht...she already did, smartass. He inwardly cursed himself. Oohh, he just wanted to punch something so bad right now. His eyes glared back and forth between the wall in front of him and the stack of papers in his hand tempting him to allow them to meet with a force so strong"
"Parth, you're doing it wrong."
He looked up quickly, his expression slowly relaxing at the sight of Vibha ma'am. Was it just him or was she looking more beautiful/graceful/gorgeous/stunning/engaging"shit, he was getting carried away now.
He looked away from her, trying hard not to think about how lovely she appeared today while fighting down the incoming blush at their close proximity.
Except, something entirely unexpected happened which caused him to furrow his eyebrows.
He scowled down at her flying locks"did someone turn on the fan somewhere?"they were blocking his view of her gorgeous face and he didn't like that one bit! He resisted the urge to place those soft, lustrous locks back to their rightful position behind her ear.
"See how I did it?"
Parth blinked, Vibha's voice snapping him from his thoughts. "You have to organize them according to the student's last name." Finishing, she tapped the stack of papers on the table and smiled up at him.
"Samjhe?"
His stern, rigid face gently broke into a smile matching her cute and innocent one.
The strands dangling on her face held little importance to him now as he drowned himself in her deep brown pupils.
"...Samajha."
He was too busy smitten.
________________________________________________________________________________
Krissan
She sighed for millionth time"okay, that was an exaggeration but it certainly did feel like somewhere near it.
She couldn't believe she was held up in the most boring place with the most boring guy on earth at the most boring time of the day! Seriously! The whole school was freakin' sleeping right now. I mean, they could've given them till after classes to serve their punishment but nooo...,they had to stress their point by having them do it early. Way too early.
She frowned at her reflection in the mirror. One day's lack of beauty sleep totally ruined her complexion. They needed to finish quickly so she could at least grab an hour of sleep.
She peeked from behind her hand mirror to glance at the weird boy who carried a frog and called it his "mom."
She sighed, deciding that the least she could do was to help the pitiful chap who had a forever lasting, unrequited crush on her.
Too bad for him.
She was committed.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
"AAAHHH!-"
"She threw the ball in her hand at Sid's shrieking face, silencing him.
Why did that looney tunes' always have to scream when he saw her?
________________________________________________________________________________
Utkarsh
"How do I look?"
He snorts and passes her a look of disbelief. "The same way you did when you asked me"-he stops to look at his watch-"5 minutes ago." He wasn't used to girls like her. Girls like her were tiring and unpredictable. And he didn't like that because he'd never know what their next plan of course would be. And when he does come to know, he wouldn't have enough time to react to it.
Take this moment for example, when she cunningly"or to be nice, because he was always ready to be nice"willingly decided to get up and help him clean the light fixture above them.
Because it was the last thing left.
They were now in the middle of the classroom as she stood on a stool wiping off the dust from the lamp that strangely dangled at her shoulder. Who the heck installs a ceiling lamp that low?
"I need to clean the bulb...it's dirty." Krissan's voice distracts him from pondering over the technical quality of the school.
"Take it out, first," He instructed.
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know how."
Utkarsh just gaped.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
"-Siddy."
"It's Sid!"
"It's a nickname!"
Sid growls at the back of his throat. "You're breaking our guy code, creep!" He yells at Niti as she increases her speed. How the hell was she running that fast?
"Look who's talking, sleazeball! Freakin' embarrassment to humanity, you are!" Niti turns around and sticks out her tongue at him"
"See ya around, Siddy."
"before turning a corner and disappearing.
Did she freakin' take some kind of power boost early in the morning or something? Maybe she had one of those Sonic The Hedgehog Bubble Gum that probably gave her freakin' Super Speed or something.
Shit. He wanted some of that.
He chased after her as fast as he could, not about to let her have it all to herself.
________________________________________________________________________________
Krissan
She frowned at the way he was gawking at her like she was some stupid tube-light girl who didn't know how to remove a freakin' bulb.
Except she was.
She clicks her fingers in his face, snapping him out of never-ending trance. "Stop staring and show me how to do it!" She barks at him, crossing her arms.
Utkarsh breaks out his trance as he shakes himself. "Just hold it and turn it clockwise," he advises.
"Clockwise?"
"Like this," he demonstrates by turning his hand in a weird way.
"Why is this so difficult?" Krissan gripes in frustration, suddenly missing her house. Whenever something broke, they'd just have the servants replace it.
Her eyes lit up in determination.
If the servants could do it, then she could too!
She made a move for the bulb when Utkarsh suddenly treads onto the ottoman stool, joining her.
Startled at the sudden closeness, she takes a step back, almost falling off the stool when"in slow motion and like a cheesy, romantic movie scene"he grabs her by the waist, locking eyes with her and pulls her back up.
"You, ok?"
"...Mmn."
Utkarsh suddenly grabs her palm with his free hand, making her heart involuntarily beat faster. She didn't notice when her arm had found its way around his shoulder.
She gasps as he takes her hand and places it onto the bulb, gently turning it and setting the apathetic, lifeless organ in her chest alive and ablaze.
"This is how you do it." Utkarsh smiles down at her once they take off the bulb, his arm still wrapped around her waist.
He remains oblivious to the slight pink in her cheeks warming her face as his fingers delicately linger over hers, holding the bulb between them.
Dammit, Heart.
Slow down.
________________________________________________________________________________
Utkarsh
He parted from her slowly, missing the brief warmth from her body as he let go of her and stepped down from the ottoman.
You know...," He heard Krissan begin after regaining poise.
"We could not clean and say we did," she offered, smirking down at him as she put the bulb back onto the lamp. He didn't exactly dislike how she looked when she smiled down at him like that.
Krissan was clever. And she'd show it too. Quite well, in fact. The problem was that she didn't have an agenda which a girl like her especially, should have.
"Or we could clean and say we did," Utkarsh countered while stuffing his hands in his pockets. Smirking, he knew Niti'd be proud of what he was about to do.
So he kicked the stool out from under her, unflinching when her bottom hits the ground with a thud.
Cuteness and smiles aside, she totally deserved it.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
He walks around the hallway looking for a certain midget when he turns a corner and bumps into someone.
"Sorry"-He stops short of his apology and scoffs when he realizes who he bumped into.
"Sid, my best friend," Ayaz drawls and smirks. "You done cleaning?"
Sid matches his taunting smirk. "Not yet, janitor on duty."
"It's supervisor."
"Whatever makes you happy, janitor on duty." Sid ignores Ayaz's piercing glare and inquires, "Did you happen to see"He gives himself two seconds to remember her name when he just dismisses it instead and says, "a girl that's about"-Sid lifts his foot a few inches from the ground and eyes it"-this tall?"
At Ayaz's self-indulgent stare, Sid rolls his eyes and adds, "supervisor."
Ayaz knew who he was talking about but feigned ignorance simply because he aspired to be A1 in dark humor and because, well, just...because.
"Sorry, haven't seen anyone like that." Ayaz smirks. "Not yet, at least."
Sid gives him a look that says, "I don't believe you but I'll let it go since I don't wanna smash your face into the wall right now."
"Whatever." Sid walks past him purposely or unpurposely shoving his shoulder into his when Ayaz stops him.
"You could've gotten out of this, you know. Ayaz smirks and continues, "By crying your way over to your "mom."
Sid matches his taunting smirk. "Seeing as how "Dipshit Ayaz" suggested it, that's something "Dipshit Ayaz" would do."
Ayaz laughs, putting a finger to his chin as if considering something" "I would, you know"-before waving it off, "But I don't cry to old ladies, so, I'mma just head over to Vibha ma'am and play my charm on her."
Sid makes a move at at him for his comment over his mom. "bas***d, I swear I'll pop your head off!"
Which is right when Parth storms over in a rage and punches Ayaz right between the eyes.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
Where was he? She needed to find him ASAP.
She stopped running and placed her hand on a wall as she caught her breath. She cursed at Sid for making her run so damn much.
Her ears perked up when she heard something that sounded like a snoring hippo.
She peeked from the corner of the hallway, hoping she wouldn't see someone who'd make her run again when she spotted a certain dunderhead sleeping.
On the floor.
Niti's lips quirked up in relief as she neared the person.
She simply tapped him with her foot when he suddenly woke up and hysterically screamed"-I am NOT joining the militia!"
"What?" Choosing to ignore his insane spectacle, she continued. "Charlie...I..I need...help," She breathed out, still gasping for air.
Charlie scowled once he realized the situation. "I'm the one who needs help!"
"I can see that," Niti mocked, before quickly pleading, "But I asked first!"
"Don't care," Charlie deadpanned.
She frowned at his childish response. "Fine. I'll just take Utkarsh with me."
"If Krissan lets him go, yeah."
She hesitated, "...Parth?"
"Your hero's busy stacking sheets."
She crosses her arm and says, "Then I'll just get Ayaz to go with me."
"Who?"
Niti just bats her eyes at him.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
FROM WHERE THE HELL"?
He was at a loss for words.
WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH THIS FREAKIN' DUDE!
Was this freakin' crackpot on crack? Impassive freak. Sid wanted to stop and remember if he ever saw this stoic freak blink even once but figured he had more delicate issues at hand.
Sid's mouth hung wide open as his eyes darted back and forth between Parth and a now unconscious Ayaz, lying on the floor.
He smacks his forehead.
And does a complete 180 and bangs his head on the wall.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
He was glaring at the creep's unconscious body when he heard the other creep slap himself and turn around.
He watched incredulously as Sid quietly ranted to himself something about how "you're not supposed to go around punching faces less than 24 hours from receiving a punishment by the principal."
All the while, repeatedly banging his head on the wall.
He couldn't believe he was stuck with these two yahoos. Why did he even bother to listen to their crap? Why did he bother to intervene? Well, of course he couldn't just walk past that jerk's nonsense about a girl. And what was worse, it was his girl.
But damn.
He looked back at Ayaz and sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
He didn't mean to knock him out.
________________________________________________________________________________
Siyali
She was almost done rearranging the books on the shelves when she stopped and sighed.
"Bas***d." She glared at the book in her hand. Where the hell did he hop over to anyway?"
"Oh stop!" Sid waves her off smiling as if she just complimented him before deadpanning, "But, seriously, a girl shouldn't talk like that, you know?"
"And a guy shouldn't leave a girl to do all the work, you know?" Siyali instantly retorts, unsurprised at his sudden appearance.
He lazily reaches over to pick up a book from the carpet floor when a pair of hands penetrated his vision and snatched it.
"Hey, I was about to get that."
"Sure you were." Siyali passes a dry look at Sid, reliving the memory of his hands smashing her face with his dinner. She walks over to the last empty shelf.
"Hey, I already said that I was sorry." Sid walks over and stops at the other side, looking at her through the shelf.
"And I said get lost, Sid." Siyali grabs a book and aligns it on the shelf.
"And when I did, you were missing me."
"I was not." She places another book next to it.
"Were too." And another.
"Was not." And one more when Sid grabs her wrist and smirks.
"Were too," He murmurs. "Don't deny it."
Siyali blushes furiously, unable to find her voice. Damn him. He was making her feel that damned feeling again. That one feeling she wanted to avoid at all costs. She felt something flutter in her chest and flow down to her stomach as he smiled at her and softly rubbed his thumb over her hand.
She furrowed her eyebrows at him angrily. "You think you're funny or something, Siddharth Rajput?"
Sid frowned at the way she took his name. "Then why are you avoiding me?"
"I don't avoid chumps."
"Oh, then you must meet them."
"What's it to you?"
"I don't like it."
"Like what?"
"Like you meeting them."
"Who's them?"
"I think you know who I'm talking about."
"Who, chumps?"
Sid exhaled in irritation. "Siyali! You're making me realize that self denial looks pathetic up close." "Why don't you just admit that you're ignoring me!"
"What makes you think I'm ignoring you?"
He snapped. "I don't know...maybe the fact that you ignore everything I say and even as I'm holding your hand and speaking to you, your big, beautiful eyes are still looking somewhere else!"
Siyali grabs his wrist with her captured hand and shoves it back at him.
"Because I don't want you to see my face that's as red as a pomegranate, idiot!"
Siyali eye's widen as she gasps.
Crap!
She wasn't supposed to say that!
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
He smirks at her violent reaction, pleased at her outburst. "So Siyali can shy away like a girl, huh? Who would'a guessed."
"Leave me alone, Sid."
"And she can sure hold grudges, too. For a long time."
"Shut up. And it hasn't even been a day yet."
"Oh, so you're counting down till you forgive me?"
Siyali just scoffs. "You attacked an innocent girl!"
"Innocent?..." He pretends to ponder for a second before he finishes, "I don't know about that."
"Get out! Before I throw you out!"
Sid smirks as he watches her turn around and grab her head in frustration forgetting her previous embarrassment. He had the ability to drive people insane. And he was proud of it too.
His smirk tightened when from the corner of his eyes he noticed a certain shrimp"who made him run after her while she swam across the entire school"scurry passed the library.
He'd have to put his developing, complex love story on hold.
Cause he had some police work to do.
________________________________________________________________________________
Charlie
"Okay, to the side, Charlie. One more. Yeah. You're doing great. Keep going. Keep breathing. One more. One more. Saans, Charlie, Saans!"
"I ain't giving birth Niti!" Charlie deadpanned as Niti instructed"well, mostly blabbered nonsensical crap.
"Got it!" Charlie yelled in glory as he grabbed the packet off the classroom door's frame completely ignoring the fact that he was currently dangling on top of the door frame.
"Crap, someone's coming!" "Hide, Charlie!"
To be frank, they looked really stupid with Charlie hanging on the doorway before swinging himself right into the classroom and Niti diving after him. They looked like one monkey pouncing on top of another monkey.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sid
He would have a limb cut off than admit he was scared. Shit scared to be exact. His heart was throbbing and the sweat on his palms caused him to slip off the wall once or twice like a ditzy"no wait, that was too girly"like a gawky"hold on a sec, that made him sound like a nerd. Let's use more manly terms here"like an uncouth. Yeah, that was better.
Anyway, it felt like a scene from a horror movie with him attaching himself to the wall while he peeked"well, tried to anyway"inside the classroom.
He could do this. After all, he wasn't scared when he dumped that batshit Ayaz's body into the storage closet. And why the hell was it so freakin' dark in there? It just added to the freakin' scary effect. He felt his heartbeat go on speaker in the empty hallway as he sneaked an inch closer to the doorway. He was scared something, or rather, someone would jump right out and onto his face. Was it even this freakin' classroom?
Yeah. It was. He smirked as he recalled seeing them "swan diving" at the sound of his footsteps like a pair of monkeys escaping from their circus home right into the classroom. He wanted to laugh when he saw them but decided not to because he'd just look stupid laughing out of nowhere.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
The door to the school's rooftop creaked open as Niti and Charlie peeked in. She was sure she saw him go this way.
She was fuming. Charlie, nonetheless. He made a joke out of them. That jerk.
Niti's eyes widened when she saw Sid and"what the heck was Siyali doing with him? Oh wait, they were cleaning the library together. But why was she here?
Her eyes zeroed in on Sid's hands and she elbowed Charlie in the gut to get him to notice.
They both rushed for their target.
________________________________________________________________________________
Parth
"You sure they went this way?"
"You doubt me?"
"N..no."
Parth sighed, trailing behind Utkarsh and Krissan as they made their way to the rooftop.
"It was Sid. I'm never mistaken when it comes to Sid. And he was with that girl."
"Hey." Utkarsh passed her a warning glare.
"Whatever." Krissan looked unaffected but didn't push it.
He didn't really know why he was following them but Parth just couldn't resist Utkarsh's puppy eyes when he came running to him asking for help.
They waited until Parth came up and turned the knob to the school's rooftop door.
Krissan gasped.
Utkarsh pointed.
Parth just arched a brow.
________________________________________________________________________________
Warriors
"Holy"Krissan began.
"Mother of God!" Utkarsh interjected.
WHAT THE HELL?' Krissan scrutinized the sky as she tried figure out what a shining star was doing on the rooftop.
HOW THE HELL?' Parth wondered how it got up there in the first place.
Everyone's eyes were wide open as they followed what they thought was at first a bird, then a ball, then as they looked closer, they realized, a person, that had launched themselves from one side of the roof to the other.
"GET THE HELL DOWN HERE, NITI!" Utkarsh pointed an accusatory finger at the sky. He felt betrayed that Niti decided to ditch school to go flying with the birds without informing him, when he noticed another"less shocking but more ridiculous"situation.
Krissan, Utkarsh, and Parth stared at Sid who was on top of Charlie who was being swung around with much needed effort by Siyali.
"What the-"
"Hell are you guys doing!? Utkarsh finished for Krissan. She wanted to stop and smack him for daring to interrupt her a second time but there was a more overriding situation to be dealt with currently.
"Utkarsh!" Siyali looked up and smiled in relief at him. Sid could only scowl at that since he was too engaged at the moment. "It's too crowded here already!"
"Utkarsh! Hurry and help me get this donkey"Niti slaps Sid's face"off Charlie!"
"Who you callin a donkey, gypsy!?" The last time he saw Niti, she was performing her "Super Spin Dash Attack." "And when the hell did you freakin' land on me?" He recalled that he did feel a powerful force hit his back but was too occupied to even notice.
"I teleported." Niti answers sarcastically.
"That is possible since you're so damn short"cough!"
Niti just tightens her grip on him.
Sid pinches her hands in response and the slight but powerful stinging pain loosens her grip around his neck until she lets go and lands on the ground with a small shriek. Siyali leaves Charlie to Sid and goes over to Niti.
"You ok, Niti?" Siyali helps Niti up.
"Yeah."
Sid grabs a fistfull of Charlie's hair and hollers, "Twerp! Do you know how hard it is to freakin' find this stuff!"
"Oh, I know!" Charlie yells through gritted teeth.
Sid drags Charlie crashing to the ground with him, strangling him in the process. Charlie shouts, "After being bossed around by Niti all day, you think I'm gonna just let you take it? Dream on, idiot!"
"And after chasing you all day after it, you think I'm gonna just let you have it?"
Charlie turns on his back-"You can have my foot!"-and kicks Sid off of him, helping himself up as he gasped for air after nearly being choked to death.
Except, Sid's mental and physical reflexes were faster so he retaliates by sticking his foot out, tripping Charlie and sending him pummeling to the ground again.
"There's more where that came from!"
Utkarsh steps in but declares out as soon as he receives a few hits from both parties.
Sid jumps on his feet and lunges his fist at Charlie, growling, "Damn you, Charlie! Whose side are you on anyway?"
Charlie ducks and grabs Sid in a headlock. "My own! I learned "selfishness" from you yesterday!"
"Yesterday"cough"was"cough" each man"-Sid stops to look at the girls, all of them raising their brows at him daring him to exclude them-"and woman for themselves!"
"Don't even get me started on yesterday, jerk! We're all here cause of you!" Charlie spat, as they went around in circles. He pushes Sid forward, out of his grasp.
"Cause of me?!" Sid stops himself from hitting the railing and turns to look at everyone.
They all had the same look on their faces.
Freakin' traitors.
Sid points an accusing finger at Parth. "You!" Sid eyed Parth who just stares at him as if to say, What?'
"It's not polite to point," Siyali tells him.
"I don't wanna be polite."-Sid ignores her advice and continues-"He was the one who threw his plate of noodles at me!"
"It actually landed on me instead." Krissan crinkled her nose in disgust at the memory.
"Don't blame me, dammit! How the heck was I supposed to shield you when you were practically fluttering about!" Sid defended himself.
"Sid, you're going crazy! I'm going to have to break up with you!" Krissan threatened.
"In your dreams! If anyone's breaking up with someone, it's gonna be me!" Sid claimed smugly.
"Nobody cares!" Niti screams wanting to put a halt to their uncalled and unasked-for, silly breakup.
"It actually gave her a nice, blonde makeover," Siyali offered.
"You!" Krissan who understood what Siyali was getting at, pointed a regal finger at Siyali.
"None of that changes the fact that Sid instigated Parth." Utkarsh defended his friend while trying to stop another fight from emerging, cause one look at Krissan, Siyali and Niti, and he could tell that that was exactly what they had in mind.
"How? By calling him a freakin' momma's boy?" Sid hollered incredulously, sparing a glance at Parth. Freakin' pansy was so freakin' sensitive. Damn punk would take anything until someone mentioned his mom. It was like the only time he ever showed human emotion. Not that he blamed him cause anyone one would react if you said something about their mom. Even Sid himself.
But don't get too carried away. Sid wasn't about to admit that he could actually understand where Poker Face was coming from and suddenly hop off into the sunset holding hands with him or some sappy shit like that.
"Exactly! And because of that, I had to spend my morning mopping the freaking hallways when I could've been resting my muscles!" Chariie complains.
"And I could've gotten up early to study," Siyali adds.
"And I could've been sleeping." Niti also adds.
"Me too." Krissan finally adds.
Sid scoffs. "Well sorry to disturb you ladies' program. Should've informed me in advance."
Charlie's eye twitched. Not an inkling of regret in that jerk. He was about to swing his fist at Sid again when he stopped and noticed his empty hand. He looked at his other hand. Empty.
Sid just chuckled at him. Charlie was looking pretty ridiculous with both hands in the air and a question mark on his face.
"What the"?"
"Good one, Siyali. You're learning from me." Sid grins at her.
Except it turns into a scowl once Siyali sticks her tongue out at him, grabs Utkarsh and makes a run for it.
"Siyali!"
Charlie smirks. "You're right. She is learning from you."
"Solo Player," he adds.
"Say that again punk! I dare you!" Sid threatens Charlie.
"I hate being ignored." Krissan complains.
"What makes you think we care?" Niti retorts.
Sid makes a move for the exit. "I'mma so beat the crap out of that frog boy! I swear!"
He finds himself unable to take a step further as he looks at the owner of the hand on his chest.
Shit. He forgot this guy was still here.
________________________________________________________________________________
Niti
"This is annoying!" Krissan turns on her heels deciding that this crap wasn't worth the last 10 minutes left for her beauty sleep.
"Yeah? Well, so is your voice and your face!" Niti sasses not caring whether Krissan heard it or not.
"Come on. Let's go." Charlie grabs Niti's hand leading her to the exit.
"But what about those two?" Niti worriedly adverts his attention towards the two figures who were now just verbally clashing.
"Who the hell cares about them? We didn't freakin' run all day long just to worry about those two brutes!" Charlie stops at Niti's hesitant face and adds, "Besides, they'll either just stare until one of them gets tired and leaves or they'll just stare until one of them gets tired and punches the other."
She wasn't exactly sure if Charlie was right about leaving those two alone like that. But he was right about their hard work hitting the dump.
So, she followed as Charlie jumped down the flight of stairs landing at the 3rd floor door.
She rolled her eyes"'show off'"and quickly went down the stairs.
They opened the door and headed to where Siyali could've taken Utkarsh.
And the thing in her hand.

Sid vs Parth
"What?" Sid half-hisses, half-snarls, already irritated at the turn of events as he smacks Parth's hand away. He so didn't want to deal with this guy's freakin' somber issues right now.
He heard Charlie yell something that sounded like, "Ignore him, Sid!"and scorning, "Dumbass punk thinks he's so freakin' great!"-before waving and heading out the exit with Niti, leaving him and Angry Bird' alone.
"Stay away from Utkarsh." Authority radiated from Parth's voice.
Sid smirked not feeling the least bit threatened. It took all of Parth's self control not to punch him in the damn face.
"Why?"-Sid clearly wanted to start another fight as he sneers-"Did he transform into your mom or something?"
Parth rebelled against self control and went ahead and punched the scoundrel square in the face.
It took Sid a second to recover from the unexpected hit before he"like the successful juvenile delinquent he strived to be"yelled a few incoherent curses and hurled his vengeful arm at him.
"Jackass, I'll make sure to dig a hole for you next to Ayaz!"
The sun rose as both charged at each other.

Parth
He lay there, his eyes half way closed as stared into the now bright and blue sky. He didn't know how he got the strength to scowl at the orange glare that had invaded his vision and just...burned.
Parth gave a look to the moron lying a few inches away looking half alive half dead but mumbling about how delicious?"Parth stopped to think, 'freakin maniac'"something was.
Then again, he wasn't one to talk. He slowly reached for his head as it pounded not knowing whether it was from their recent joust or from the rowdy jerk's yelling and jumping about.
What the hell was this Sid going so crazy about anyway?
It was simple. All he had to do was let them have it but no...he chooses to prove that his brain was just as small as his fist. Parth didn't know how he'd handle this "pack of deranged idiots" for the whole week.
He felt his eyes close as he slowly drifted to sleep.
Shame.
When, it was just a pack of rainbow swirl lollipops

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed this crazy adventure as much as I did while writing it! I just wanted to create a situation that involved all the warriors and I hope I kept all their characters in tact. It's been a while since I wrote something so I don't know if it was good.
Please do share your thoughts, positive or negative. It's all welcomed!đ
Thanks for reading and by the way, for those who are interested I've got a SidYali OS right around the corner!đ
