Chapter 10 : Run off

Start from the beginning
                                    

Now what did I do?

Oops I realized.

At that moment the teacher entered. It was our English teacher the strict with stick in place of spinal cord teacher. She walked with way too straight posture for a normal human being should.

"Avi why are you standing there come here, sit in front. You must've not done the work again. Everyone take your places why do you all look so shaken? come on snap out of it. Take out your books!"

I made a dash for in front. Saw Ishaan's pleading look to not leave him alone with Lux.

Tough choice dude. You might be pretty but I love myself more.

I slumped down in the seat keeping the books on my desk.

"You know you're the star of the show" Aryan whispered, sat right behind me. "You made those two have a face off and now they are sitting together you're really something" he laughed tapping my head.

I looked back at him smirking," now touch my feet"

"Shut up freak" he pushed me ahead with a grin.

I felt someone's burning stare. Gosh I never liked attention how do I always managed to become the cause of it

Before I could run off for the lunch an arm blocked my way .

"We need to talk" Lux said the same dangerous aura around him was noticed.

"No we don't" I told dodging his arm and bent to get out. How long would I avoid him?

As long as I could

He held my shoulders turning me to him. My back hit the class door. My head snapped to him in shock. His hands were near my upper arms.

"Don't do that" I warned him seriously.

He didn't take my warning rather inclined his head down to get my proper attention.

"Why did you run away yesterday?" He asked ignoring my nervousness him hovering me cornering me with that intimidating look. The stand reminded me of something that I didn't want to think.

He took stepped towards me I shifted against the door helplessly.

"Why are you hiding from me?" He asked frowning.

This was pulling me back to the darkness that made me defenseless.

"Don't do that" I said again my voice breaking.

I shielded my eyes away looking down at nothing.

"Hey look at me" he sounded confused his hands reached up slowly turning my chin.

The sharp pain in my arm intensified as if shredding my skin burning to my soul painfully.

I covered my face whispering, "don't do that! don't do that!" I chanted dropping on the floor buried my face in the hands. Gasping as I drowned in my own tears.

Avi"

"Avi"

"Avi" Lux said softly.

It's the first time he said my name.

I unfree my hold over my face. I had my arms around me like a wall from outside world.

Found Lux knelt before me with concern and worried expression which was washed off by mild relief when I finally came back to my senses to the moment.

I must've had zoned out.

"How long?" I asked vaguely my voice crocked. I rubbed my eyes acting nonchalant. From inside I struggled with embarrassment and despised myself for scaring Lux. A bit pleased cause, I managed to do so.

He blinked still staring me with soft eyes. I cleared my throat, "How long did I space out for?"

"Entire break" He told but didn't take his eyes off me.

I nodded my cheeks burning, I bit my lips feeling shy now.

Then I registered his words for the entire break!!. Then where are the students?

As if he read my thoughts now he appeared flustered, "I made them stop"He I got quickly, "I am telling them they can come now" He muttered, turning back.

What!

I peeped from where I sat

Near the staircase in the corridor.The crowd was gathered,Riya stood front of it with folded arms. And yeah teacher how can I forget him. Was as confused and impatient as others.

Okayyyy

Everybody stared at us curiously, with Lux of course came back sitting beside me front. My whole face burned I laid my head down on the desk. A slow stupid smile crawling over my face. He stopped everyone from entering the class for me. But that might have caused some more suspicious questions now.

Sheesh!

I shook my head over the desk I tipped it at him gauging his reaction. He was closed off, resumed to his bored look.

"Fool" I mumbled grinning.
