[CHAPTER] 15 THE TWIST

Shawn's POV

Hey guys! Yeah it's my POV, I know you are quite surprised but yeah it's my turn. To tell you the secret I'll gonna be playing a very important role here so just wait and read ;) So, starting it from the start. Well, on my first day of school, okay fine, which is today I saw her for the first time when we bumped into each other. Well, I apologize for my mistake but when my eyes took in her beautiful and innocent face and our eyes locked for few seconds my breathe hitched in my throat, like seriously she is so beautiful, I have the urge to compliment her but hold myself. 'Have a hold on yourself boy!' my inner voice mocked me. I introduced myself and then I got to know that her name is 'Emily' beautiful name like her. I asked her to call her Emi on our very first meeting, well yeah I know it sounds like crazy but what to do man! She is just so beautiful. Don't get me wrong I am a pretty decent boy. In my whole life there's no single girl who caught my attention but she, she just caught it without doing anything. Ok well so where were we? Oh yeah, when I asked to call her by her nick name her best friend Tim came and she introduced us with each other. After that she left us for the class. As it was my first day I went to the principal's office first to get my schedule then headed towards my scheduled class. When I reached there, one thing caught my attention and it was her again, Emily. And there's no empty seat for me to sit in the class except next to hers so, I directly went to her desk and sat there. She was quite surprised to see me here and after that our teacher came into the class and introduced me to everyone. That's not enough he also assigned me and Emily as partners in the upcoming projects and all and told her to help me with my studies and yes, she agreed. Now, I don't ask anything from God. Yeah, I am more than happy. After our class ended I asked her to come with me for a coffee because I seriously wanted to thank her but Nate came in view and told me she's busy. Well, the look he was giving me I could have guess it correctly that he is jealous but why? And then it clicked me when Emi got nervous that there's something going on between both of them. Although I guessed it already but to confirm my guess I asked them and the way he replied to me I got my answer. I got quite disappointed and decided to stop behaving like this to her because I don't want to be the third wheel in someone else life, especially hers. After they left the class, I saw Emi forgot her phone on the desk so I called them quite few times but they didn't hear me. So, I followed them and witnessed their confession in front of my own eyes. Hell man! It felt so bad. I wanted to go there and separate them even though I can't do that. I can clearly see in their eyes that how important they are for each other. Somehow the way they both were looking at each other is quite admirable. And suddenly, Nate left her alone there all her own. At this moment I wanted to punch him hard to his guts, man. How can he do something like this to the girl he loves? I can't see her breaking and crying like this so, I decided to console her but then stop midway because she might just get scared and she is not comfortable around me I can see that. So, I just stand there and watch her the whole time. I caught her before she fell and she looked surprised but then I told her why I am here and changed the topic to try to distract her from her current situation. We chatted until Nate came and started punching me. To tell you the truth I literally wanted to beat the shit out of him but just control myself for sake of the girl who's trying to break me free from his grip. He punched me hard I could tell by the force he is exerting that how much he hates me. But for what? And here he go, he answered all my silent questions by throwing his own question as well as punches at the same time. Well, after seeing Emi's outburst when he got his sanity back and apologized to both of us. I didn't said a single word until now and Emi helped me and take me away from him. While she is taking me to our school's nurse for treating my wounds she was continuously blabbering to herself which I couldn't understand so I asked "What are talking in your alien language?" and she just glared at me. "Hey! Don't look at like that, you are scaring me!" I said to her and she stopped in midway, me also. "Why the hell you didn't fight back?" she asked almost shouting at me but in a whisper so we don't catch any attention. "Hey! I didn't know you also use cursing words. By the way, are you angry that I got beaten up from your boyfriend or are you angry that I didn't beat him up as your friend for hurting you?" I asked her in a teasing manner. Well yeah, I am also angry I didn't fight back because literally he didn't show any mercy on my pretty face. She didn't say anything just smack me on my shoulder. "Awww… It hurts. Have some mercy on me pretty lady. Look what your boyfriend did to my pretty face. I got a blue eye and a bloodied lip. Man! I have such a gorgeous face. How can he be this cruel?" I said to her while faking a cry that's when we heard a voice which made us jump from our places. "Emily Vincent, What the hell did you do to this poor boy? How can you be this cruel? And wait what the most shocking part is when the hell did you get a boyfriend? And why the hell you didn't you tell me yourself? Oh man! Thank you so much, if it's not you I will never know the truth." Oh man! It was Tim, her best friend who came from nowhere but I like him. The way he is exaggerating things after listening our whole situation, he is making fun of her. Well, only your best friend have this type of talent and right. "Oh no need bro, look what she did to me?" I played along with him. We both are controlling ourselves from laughing when Emily burst out "Will you both just shut your mouth up or I'll shut it up by myself? Shawn, don't you get enough beating from Nate that you want more from me? And you mister, stop laughing and exaggerating things Tim or I'll beat you up till death. You know me very well." She just yelled at both of us and we started laughing shamelessly. "Hahaha, stop it Emi or else I won't be able to stop." Tim said between his laughs. "Wait!" Tim exclaimed suddenly and stopped laughing. "What did you say just now? Who did this?" he asked while pointing towards my face. "Nathan" I replied because this question caught Emily off guard. Her reaction is like when you messed up something and your best friend caught you by just looking at you, same goes with her. "Nate did this? You called him her boyfriend?" He asked me to confirm it and I just nodded my head in a 'yes'. "Woah, you didn't even tell me about this?" he complained. "Hey! Stop saying that and I already felt guilty about his rash behavior towards Shawn. And it was so sudden that I don't have enough time to think it through and -" She started to clear things with him but he cut her off by saying "Hey! Stop that I know you if you have any chance you would tell me because you can't hold this type of big news to yourself without spilling out in front of me." he just teased her and after that she told him everything in detail that what happened today. "Wow! I missed it all, man. I wanted to see his pale face when you confessed. Well, I know this will happen some day and today is that day." He said playfully and got a smack on his shoulder from her for his first statement. God! How possessive she is about Nate! If I was in Nate's place, will she be this much possessive about me? I thought it and the next second just shook my head to clear my mind. 'What was I thinking and why?' I said to myself 'Because you love her stupid' my inner voice mocked me and I was like 'what?' 'When will I said that I love her?' I asked to inner voice and 'Oh, so you don't love her then why it hurts you when you saw them earlier?' my inner voice asked back and now I don't have any answer to this question. 'Do I really love her? Or is it just liking?' I thought to myself and I was pulled back to reality when Emily shook me little. "Are you alright?" she asked me. "Yeah, I am fine." I assured her. Now I am debating myself wow, humans are not enough for me. I just mentally smack my head on this thought. After that we just went to the nurse and she treated my bruises after that we bid our goodbyes. Now, it's time to go home. Today is a very tough day. I hope Nate will cherish her if not, I won't waste a second to approach her.
