"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."
He was wearing a white shirt with black trousers and a navy blue blazer with the emblem of the school pinned neatly on the breast pocket, and a 'head boy' badge was pinned to his right breast pocket.
This guy looked like a typical nerd, and was definitely not my type.
*~OoO~*
Zoya
After that head boy went away I took my handbag and walked towards the room which read 'Office'. I looked through the glass doors and saw Jawed talking to someone so I sat in one of the armchairs outside the room. I looked around the plush waiting room and a saw a trophy case. Well it was like really very long and was filled with trophies.
Jawed came out of the room and shook a bald man's head and smiled at me. I pretended that I hadn't seen them and turned around. Jawed introduced me to the man he was my principal, Mr. Soni. After what felt like hours Mr. Soni finally let us go. Jawed gave me an awkward side hug and handed the luggage to the peon and he led me to my room. He left my luggage outside the room and handed me the keys to my room.
I unlocked the door and the first thing that hit me was the smell of a perfume, which was really very strong. There were 2 queen sized beds facing the windows complete with the canopy thing. Towards the left of my bed was a huge closet and a bathroom. I entered the bathroom to change and have a quick shower but to my horror the bathroom was filled with so many make-up items that I lost count after sometime.
I took a quick shower and changed into a white oxford shirt and a maroon and black box pleated skirt. These two items of clothing was mandatory according to the school rules and rest we could accessorize it like we wished. So I wore my favorite pair of fishnet stockings with my black converse. I quickly tied my hair into a ponytail and reapplied kohl around my eyes.
I was leaving the room when suddenly I bumped headfirst into a girl. She massaged her head gently and looked up. She was pretty with huge almond shaped eyes and a nose piercing, and I instantly regretted that summer when I hadn't got my nose pierced.
"So you're the new girl Zoya, right?" She asked me.
"Yep, that's me." I said.
"You haven't even set your foot yet but you're already famous! Everyone in the school is talking about you!" She said excitedly.
"And why is that so?" I asked her, my eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.
"You're the only person who's a foster kid here you know? And we all know why you got kicked out your previous foster home. Wild summer eh?" She asked me and winked. The comment she made about me being a foster kid had hit home.
She must have sensed it, because the next moment she was apologizing.
"So what's your name?" I asked her.
"I'm Humaira. And I'm the uncrowned queen bee of Athena International! So Miss Zoya Farooqi, you're welcome to join my posse." She said and winked again.
And for the first time since I'd set my foot in this school I smiled.
~*OoO*~
Asad
I turned and walked away from there, I was so lost in my world that I wasn't looking where I was going and I collided with Ayaan, my best friend. He looked up and rubbed his forehead and made a face at me.
"Watch where you're going Asad!" He said and I mumbled a sorry.
"Hey man! Did you see that new chick? Heard she was kicked out of her previous foster home because the people of her house had found some drugs in her closet! Man she's one wild girl I'd like to tame!" Ayaan said and winked at me.
I gave him a dirty look.
"Ayaan what's up with you? I mean you see a new girl and you're suddenly after her! What about Humaira huh? You both have been together for the past 2 years man!" I exclaimed.
"Easy man, I was just telling you that! Goodness! You've already set your eyes on her na? She's the total junglee billi types, you both will enjoy" Ayaan said and I punched his shoulder and he laughed.
"Shut up moron." I said and he continued laughing, he saw Humaira coming and ran to her and hugged her tightly and then kissed her forehead. Humaira waved at me and I waved back. I left them there and then the bell rang signalling the start of the day, I went to my locker and took out my World History books and left for my classroom.
I sat in my usual place and to my horror the new girl sat beside me as there was no empty seat in the room. Even she looked disgusted at the idea on having to sit beside me. We both didn't talk to each other, the teacher was still going on about the introductions so I took out my journal and started writing.
Soon the class started and the teacher started telling us about Nazism, I zoned out as I had already completed that chapter this summer break. Okay! I get it, I'm a total nerd. I looked beside me and saw her playing with the strap of her bracelet.
She pulled up her bracelet and I saw a small pinkish scar running along her wrist, at that precise moment she looked at me and hurriedly pulled her bracelet down and turned to the other side so that the back of her head was visible to me.
I saw that along with the midnight blue streak she had some red streaks running along the underside of her hair, making her hair seem even more wild than before. As if she could feel my gaze on her she covered the side of her face with her hand and rested her elbow on the desk.
My eyes landed on her notebook, the name slip read- Zoya Farooqi. Zoya...it's actually a beautiful name and somehow it suited this misfit. The class stretched on and finally the bell rang signalling the end of the period. Zoya hurriedly gathered her books and left in that hurry I saw her scar again, this time more clearly.
And in that moment I realized that Zoya had cut herself.
~*OoO*~
