Chapter 32 (A little talk)

Kate's prov

Monday.......the day I never liked. I hate Mondays it's soo boring and the worst part is we have to wake up early, I dragged myself from my sweet, warm, harmless bed and started getting ready. My leg's fine and scratches are almost healed.....at least they don't hurt anymore. As usual I didn't put much effort for getting ready for college, I walked down slowly in the kitchen Mom was cooking she gave me a sweet smile " So you are planning to go like this?" I nodded and she chuckled in response. while I ate my breakfast she told me that Dad is going to drop me college and I can call Mom when I want to get home. I am going to get this rides until Anna's not home.

-----------------------------------

I got into the class and everyone started asking "hey....where were you?" "What happened?" "Did anyone try to kill you?" "Nice tatto....when did you get it?" I looked at Alex furiously "it's not a tattoo. I am hurt get your eyes check dude." He chuckled before saying "Ya I know that but it was funny" I smiled and started telling everyone that how did I managed to get hurt. "Are you okay now?" I jumped in surprise and turned facing the one and only JAKE the jerk. I ignored him or at least I tried but he sat besides me and opened his good for nothing mouth "We need to talk. You have to listen to me. The way I acted with you and.." I raised my hand to make him stop "I don't want to and if you are not going to shut up then I'll find another seat." He sighed loudly and stopped taking. Mr. Will entered the class and started asking everyone about projects, when he asked us Jake interrupted me "We are all fine Mr. Will and the project will be submitted on time." I tried arguing but Jake handed me something......I opened it with that my eyes got wide and I realised that yes he is a jerk which can't do any good. I guess he don't even have emotions.........it was our deal we both signed, if I don't work hard for this project he can make me do whatever he want. The rest of the day I ignored him successfully, the day is over and everyone's getting in their cars to go home but I am here waiting for someone to pick me up. I called Mom, Dad, krish and Angel they all are either busy or not answering my phone. I sighed in frustration thought of calling a cab but I saw something or may I say someone.......my frown turned into a smile it's ZACH. He was walking towards me with confidence and his breathtaking smile, but he stopped.....turned and started talking to Jake, they both were giving eachother the 'BACK OFF' look I rushed towards them which was stupid of me as my leg isn't stable yet. it twisted and my sudden reaction was not what I am proud of. I yelled at myself " Whay the hell kate. Why can't you take care of yourself self, you idiot" Zach started chuckling after hearing me but Jake on the other hand was pissed. "Are you okay?" Jaje asked me without taking his eyes off me, it's weird when he look at me like that his eyes are deep and grey. I don't like that, "I am here to take care of her now, you can go" Zach replied him but jake stared into my eyes with the same look which I can't understand. "You can leave Jake" I told him sternly, he closed his eyes while murmuring " Okay" and left. Zach took to in his car and started driving in opposite direction I asked him like ten times "Where are we going ?" But he gave the same old answer "Somewhere". When I am with Zach it's different, he's cute and all but I don't feel safe or maybe I am afraid that he's gonna hurt me or just.....something I don't know. Can't explain how I feel, I know nothing about him yet I am here because if not I would be with Jake..... he would never leave me alone like that in college.......I guess. We stopped at a park, I used to come here when I was ten but then I grew up and park got really crowed......this park is usually called as carnival land because it's huge with soo many swings and rides. I have never seen this park going out style........we both got inside with excitement because I love rides and having fun but Zach had another plans, he took me to a beautiful spot with the whole picnic setup and ordered me to sit with him. We both talked and talked about likes and dislikes... then we got to the part where we would exchange that awkward ex's talk. He laughed at me for like three minutes when I told him about my relationship status which is constantly single. After he finished he started coming closer and closer which is soo not good I tried to stay normal but failed miserably, he's so close that I can see every single line on his face. I closed my eyes and pushed him away "Why would you do that?" Shocked was all I can see on his face. "I nevet had my first kiss Zach, it's maybe not a big deal for you but for me it is. I need some time okay" I stated flatly, he just looked at me before replying

"I can't do this kate, not with you."

"What do you mean Zach?" I asked

"I and Jake were friends in middle school but then everyone started comparing me with him, in everything my parents used to tell me that I should learn from him......I tried but failed every time. Jake was always the good guy and I somehow at the end of the day was the Bad guy. Jake didn't have much friends just his brother and me but then he decided that I am not good enough and separated our ways. I agreed and moved on as it's not cool for guy to cry over his best friend or stay there waiting for him. I accepted that if am bad then I'll be bad for a reason so, i started doing pranks, bullying, bunks, and much more but still.....I was the second most popular guy in the school, of course Jake was the first. I messed it up between him and his girlfriend, he got pissed and then I was in a hospital for almost a week. From that day I decided that he has to apologise for not being with me when the world was giving me crap about manners or life, for being a jerk instead of a friend for everything but he never did. He didn't care at all." he told me and sighed. I looked at him with worry and concern, I feel sorry for him, for what he has been through. I took his hand in mine so that he can get comfortable......he took long breaths but continued

" I know you are wondering that why the hell I am telling you this.."

He took a pause looked at me with regret or pain I just don't know but I was not normal " He called me the day after we met for the first time and told me he has a peace offering for me. I was so obsessed with me hearing him apologising but instead he gave me an offer he told me that if I break your heart then he will be friends with me again without any problems." I blinked soo many times after dis that I missed out what he said next. He stopped talking giving me time for taking in all the information. "Why" is all I said. Zach sighed "I wish I knew but the reason must be big, he's a guy who wouldn't hurt a mosquito intentionally and when he told me to hurt you he didn't mean it either, he was confused and wasn't sure with watever he was thinking....today in the parking lot he was telling me to back off, he told me he'd do whatever it would take but if I'll touch you he's gonna kill me." I don't know what to think anymore......blank. We kept quiet for almost fifteen minutes then I asked Zach "Why would you tell me ? Why not ask for an apology instead and get over it ?" Zach smiled like he was knowing I'll ask that "Because you ate the most innocent girl I've ever met. You are too immature to bring into this stuff." Well.....you can blame my luck now because a guy whom I thought was cute just became the most annoying guy in this world after saying that."I am not immature" I stated flatly but Zach started laughing uncontrollably.....after what it felt like an hour he stopped. We argued, talked, laughed, shared the ex's talks and concluded that I should give Jake a chance to explain himself and have A little talk with him.
