Chapter 14

I know I don't have any option. Quinn's POV: When we were sitting in the cafeteria, I saw Sheila was there too, sitting alone. I wanted to ask her to join us but Harry didn't like the idea. He didn't get used to hanging out with new people from that incident but I ignored his protest and took a step forward to call her but he stood there ready to leave. I have no idea what to do, so I gave up. His behaviour was slightly changed since when our arrival in India. He always portrays the cold expression on his face and not easy to anyone. Sometimes he avoids our company too. He is a short-tempered person and the situation is not helping though. A few times later, I saw Karl was standing beside her. He had his hand on her throat. That's it, I can't take it anymore, So I went to help her but she ignored me like what I did before. Karma is a donkey... I felt really guilty about that. She hates me for my behaviour. I know it's my entire fault. I behaved like a child. First, I gave her a fake hope and now I broke that into pieces and now she is polishing his shoes in front of everyone. It is so humiliating and I could feel her pain. He went so far. Poor girl! I let out a long sigh before turning my heels to leave. I have to teach him a lesson. I scolded Harry for his behaviour. If he hadn't shown his attitude she wouldn't have got humiliation in front of everyone. "Can you please stop lecturing me?" he yelled. "If you badly wanted a friendship with her, then go ahead. I have no problem. But please don't invite me." Then he grabbed his car key and hopped into his car. Oh, God!! This boy!! I rubbed my temple to calm my nerve. Tomorrow I am going to fix things between us. I know she is a kind girl and she will understand. The next day morning, I saw Sheila is walking towards the entrance. Preparing myself I stood there awkwardly to find the reason to talk to her. When her gaze landed on me she turned her heels to leave but I grabbed her hand and stopped her. "I'm sorry." I muttered. She looked at me in disbelief. Well...What I can expect from her? "For what?" She asked, her voice held a bit anguish. "For my behaviour." I looked the ground feeling ashamed of myself. "I am really sorry, Sheila. It's not my intention to hurt you. I have some valid reason, that's why.." I trailed off. "It's okay. We are not that close. So no formalities. There is no need to say anything and if you have a valid reason then please keep with you." With that, she walked away. I certainly deserve this. * Sheila's POV: I don't know what to say, so I left the place. If she has a reason for ignoring me then she should follow it, I'm not going to stop her. I don't think friendship has a rule and my heart is not made of stone. I am not some kind of funny toy to use whenever they want. He is never going to leave me so it's better to obey him. After the conversation with Quinn, I went to my class. Henceforth, I don't want any encounter with her. My exams are closer and I have to study hard. My focus should be on my studies, not on anyone. Wait! Did I mention my exam? Oh, God!! How did I forget? Instantly, I sped up my walk before partially running towards the lab. Today I have a practical exam. Shit! how come in the world did I forget my exam, easily? It's not my nature. Ahhh! I feel frustrated. Before I could get a chance to open the door of my lab, it opened automatically and I slipped down on the floor with my face. Again I cracked my arm to protect my face. Thank God! It was just a minor force. But why the heck trouble is following me everywhere? I looked up and saw there is another person who is standing with a blank expression. Who is he? I furrowed my brows. Wait... I knew him. He is Quinn's cousin-- the one who always has 'Urr' expression on his face. Great! Now I deal with him. "This is the second time you are breaking my arm. Do you have any idea?" I asked placing my left hand on my hip. He raised his eyebrows, "It does not look like that." And his eyes fell on my left hand. "And it's not my mistake," He stated blankly. Oh, God! Does this guy have any feelings? "Then what about the car accident? Was that my mistake too?" I wiggled my eyebrows. "Hmm.. probably." He shrugged his shoulders. "It was not an accident, just a mistake. Who told you to cross the road blindly when the car was approaching?" he questioned, no almost blamed. The nerve of this guy?! He shook his head while muttering something under his breath which I couldn't able to hear and I don't think it was coherent to hear before he walked away. Ahhhh... I really hate him. He should be on my second hated list. --- "Hmm..." I let out a sigh of relief once the exam was finished. Thankfully I reached the lab on time. I have to face two more hours then I will go to my room. I went to the playground since It was a free hour. I sat there and watched the students are playing around. I wanted to play, but no one dared to accompany me. Back then when I was stuck in my hometown I used to organize all the kinds of games without any age barriers. I team up ninety year's old granny to five years old kids to my team. Some of the games are still my favourite.
