Fallen For The Prey
"Davien, you came in perfect time." Mr. Howard said at him. Davien... Davien... I have repeated his name over and over. I kind of like his name.
"Evera, you will be pairing with Davien." He said pointing towards him. Wait... Did he just point the guy who I stare like a stalker?
"What?? I'm so..rry. Did you said pa...Pair?" I choked on my words since lungs forgot to breathe.
"Yes. We are arranging the students in pairs. But we had an odd number of students before you join. So Davien didn't get his pair and ..........$$%%^ ..... ^**(#$)* $$.........^&U ^&...... $$% *.........." Please, believe me, I can't hear anything because I was too busy exploring him.
"So students, Davien, and Evera will be the pair no#20. Give them a big applause" Thanks for the clap sound I came back to the reality. It was too late when I realised we never turned our gaze away from each other for the whole time.
"Me and him? No way." I said myself.
Few girls repeated the same sentence "What?? Evera and Davien? No way." I also noticed the hate glares from many girls.
"I better withdraw from this class than pairing with her," He said looking at me with his jaw clenched. Did he just reject me? I really can't believe my eyes. His words echoed in my ears and without my consent, my eyes started to tear. I should be happy because I'm the one who doesn't like to be his pair but I'm not. I don't know why I can't handle the fact that he rejected me.
"Mr. Howard, can you please consider changing my pair? I asked holding back my tears.
"Hold on guys. I'm the one who is in charge. First of all, Mr. Davien you have already changed your class from history to drama. So you can't change your electives again. So if you want to withdraw from this class, you can do it but you can't get your degree this year And Ms. Evera you don't have any other classes open for this semester. You also have to miss your degree. So you both have no other choice. If you have any other questions ask Professor. Ray." He started writing on the board without waiting for us to answer.
"No. Mr. Howard. I can understand" I said with a fake smile. I don't have to check for Davien's reaction because I already know. 'HATE'. I can sense his hate wave on me. But he said nothing.
"Good. Then pair no.20 is Davien and Evera." He said entering our names in the register and the bell rang. Davien left the room before our in charge could finish his sentence.
"Guys don't forget to finish the assignment. Evera, you are exempted from this assignment this time. Okay. Bye. See you all in the next class"
Everyone in the class begins to move. I can see some of them whispering each other and laughing at me. And some of them gave me a sympathetic look. Finally, I was standing alone in the room.
"Good Evera. You paired up with the guy who rejected you and you have to spend an entire semester in this hell"
"April. You have wasted your 'Good luck' on me." I muttered myself before walking towards the door.
............................................
"Hi, sweetheart! How is your first day? Did you feel any dizziness or pain? Did you take your medicines on time?" Before I could enter the door, my mom bombarded me with questions.
"Relax mom!! I'm ok. No dizziness, no pain. I took all my medicines on time. Shall I enter home now?"
"Come inside .I was worried. Why you are so late?" I dropped my bag on the coffee table and fell on the sofa.
"I went to April's house to get notes for the units which I missed. You know, I have to keep up with other students" I said with a tired tone.
"So, how is your first day?" When she asked this question, the first thing that came to my mind was Davien.
"Very good day, Mom. I got rejected by an unknown guy" I thought myself.
"Yeah, it's Good usual" I lied. But her eyes never left mine. I know she wants everything in detail.
"Mom! It's not my first year- first day in the college. I'm in the final year. Remember? So, nothing special. I knew half of the students in my college. And I become popular with rest of the students after my accident. So everyone is very helpful and friendly" I said with a very convincing tone.
"Then ok. Go to your room and get changed. I'll make smoothie for you. A healthy, green and fresh one" she said with an enthusiasm. Whenever my mom mention the word green and healthy. I know what it is.
"Are you mentioning that green colour liquid, full of weird stuff? Mom! I'll move out if you add spinach with bitter gourd into that thing" Ok I agree. It is healthy but can you drink spinach-bitter gourd smoothie? Yeah. That's what my mom calls it 'healthy'.
"But it's healthy!" she demanded
"Then I'm moving out. Right Now"
"Okay. Fine! What about Green apple juice?" she asked.
"Sounds good. I'll be in my room" I said grabbing my bag and make my way to upstairs. No one can win an argument with my mom.
As soon as I enter my room I dropped myself on my bed. After having a hard day, nothing can relax you like a large comfortable silky bed. But it didn't. My mind replayed the scene happened in the club room, again and again. The way his eyes become fierce and his perfect jaw that clenched in anger. His beautiful face filled with hate. Only hate. Wait! Did I say beautiful? Oops! Never mind.
"How dare he to reject me right on my face? If he didn't like me as a partner then he should have informed to me or Mr. Howard in private. Not in front of the whole class, especially Tracy" I said loudly.
I still can't accept the fact he humiliated me. Oh did I forget to mention who Tracy is? Miss.T aka Tracy is the most popular girl in our college because she almost dated every single guy.
"Maybe he has expected a partner with acting qualities and the perfect figure like Tracy and he got disappointed when he got someone like me. I agree I don't have a super model figure but I'm an average girl with a healthy skin, brown hair and big blue eyes that every average handsome guy wants. So I don't have to care about him. If he doesn't want to be my partner then fine I don't want him too. Mr. Davian you can't reject me. I'm rejecting you" I tried to convince myself with all the possible reasons. But I still can't digest his rude behaviour.
"Oh my god. My sweet sister got rejected by a guy?" Elisa's voice jolted me up. She sat on the sofa with a glass of juice and a big grin.
"Elisa! You scared me?"
"Oops. I have knocked your door about 100 times and there is no response. So I came in. I didn't mean to startle you"
"But you did. How much did you hear?"
"Don't worry, I didn't hear much. Just from you started yelling that he rejected right on your face" she said a devilish smile. Ok, she heard right from the beginning.
"Oh... it's ok. I'm just hmmm... I'm just practising dialogues. No, I mean my assignment for the next class. Everyone was assigned with a dialogue from the famous play. What you heard is a dialogue that I assigned to. You know, it involves a lot of emotions" I said with a sheepish smile and hoped for her to believe it. I noticed her expression. It's neutral.
"That's good Evera. Drink this and practice well." She handed me a glass" Finally she believed.
"Good job, girl." I congratulated myself.
"Ok then, I'm moving. I also have lots of works to do" she said walking towards the door. I was relived. But she suddenly stopped and turned to see me.
"Evera. Can you do me a favour?"
"Yeah. Sure. What is that?"
"Next time when you see that guy who rejected by cute sister, Punch him in the face for me. It will be even great if break his nose too." She closed the door with wink and opened again
"And... Your lying is really bad! You still have to improve it. Okay, Good night sweetie" She flashed a smile and gone. I tucked my face on the pillow in embarrassment. This day can't get any worse.
