Chapter 2
Abhay's POV
Darn,I thought, here we go again.
You know...my haters in college(There are plenty, trust me) call me Abhay, the Principal's Errand Boy. If Princi feels in the mood to punish someone? Make ABHAY the monitor! If Princi wants to call someone to his office? Well, he can't make an announcement like normal human principals do. He has to send ABHAY around. But the truth is that the Principal of Mount College is just a puppet, totally under the control of my parents, the Raichands. They have made substantial donations to the college: but no one will ever guess the principal owes the roof over his head to me, or rather my mom and dad. And no one will ever know that I'm not human.
Because I'm anything but a human.
No, I'm not an alien, because for my kind it's the humans who are the real aliens. Yes, we look the same, and we speak the same languages, and we do feel a certain range of emotions.But we are an ancient and powerful civilization spanning several centuries. We are the Supernaturals.(Though we are often called, vampires-bats!!-werewolves-yeah I'm some hairy animal-and magicians-the ultimate insult).There are few of us, not just because we always wanted to keep the race exclusive, but because many of us drop out in the hope that they have found a human soulmate. Luurrvee. The very thought makes me gag.
Sorry, I just went into History mode. I'll go into Abhay mode again. Though chances are you really won't like being inside my head.
So, today morning, Princi calls me again,and tells me that my parents, currently 'holidaying' in London(I'll explain the term later)have given him instructions that I'm supposed to show some new girl around town. Her name is Pia Jaiswal, she's from an orphanage in Mumbai, and she's very intelligent. I was clearly blown away. An orphanage!! I'm not the snobby types, but as far as I know, Mount College authorities are very very snobby. You see, the college accepts either the dumbest of the lot(who are rich enough to fund the college but slow enough not to guess there are people like me lurking around) or the most intelligent(Us Supernaturals.) But rumours were, that this girl was human.
But right now I had other pressing matters on my mind. I really couldn't care about Supernaturals education system politics. All I could think was that stupid Tanushree. Shaurya, the 'oh-so-cool' human in my class had dared me to go and ask that girl out. Great, I was going to be surrounded by two human girls the whole day. While many Supernatural and human boys get a kick out of it, I did not.
Because if there was anyone I had felt anything for, it had been someone who was now long dead. Buried under the ground, with some crappy epitaph which made me want to kick whoever had written it. But forget that.
So I waited near the college gates for the new girl to come and scanned the area impatiently. I do not like being kept waited.
And there she entered the gates and for a moment the sunlight blinded me as it shone off the iron gates, making them shine. I shielded my eyes and when I opened them, there she was, walking up to the college, an apprehensive look on her face. I knew she was the new girl by that telltale nervousness that was radiating off her. I could read people's emotions very well, including my own. And right now my mouth was dry, and my heart still, and my blood ice cold.
But it was just a momentary feeling. It soon passed and I found myself staring dumbly at her as she asked me, 'Um, where can I find the Principal's office?'
