Malia's POV

I woke up early in the morning with a great plan of revenge. Last night, I was keep tossing myself in the bed thinking about how to take revenge from Derek. What he had done with me, he have to pay for that.

I got ready for school, ate breakfast and then left for school. Today there is a football match in our school after classes.
To fulfill my master plan I went to school a little early. I went to the boys changing room and fortunately there was no one to notice me after all it is little early to start classes. I roam around the room, actually I was looking for Derek's locker. He is one of the co- captain of the football team of our school. So my plan is to embarrass him in the field. I found his locker but open it with the help of my hair clip. Trust me it's a very useful weapon for girls as it works every time.

His football jersey was their with some other stuffs. I took out his jersey from the hanger and spread the pest controlling spray. I was wearing rubber gloves in my hand so that this spray will not make any harm to me. Then I put his jersey in his place and locked the locker. I gave a mischievous smile to myself and left the room silently. I went straight to the washroom where I put the gloves in the dustbin and wash my hands. 'Today we are going to have a memorable match,' I thought to myself as I was looking in the mirror of the washroom.

I went outside of the washroom, actually I have an another job. I have to return something to someone. But where I can find him? Then I thought I will give it in the class, that will be good idea.

"Hey, good morning, you came early today!" I found Peter in the corridor. No no don't take it wrong, I was not looking for him.

"Yeah, let's go to the class, " I suggested.

"Sure."

Peter and I walking to our classroom when I saw Jonatas standing in front of his locker. He seemed little bit of depressed for something which I don't have any idea what it is. But I remember one thing.

"Peter, you go to the classroom, I am coming, " I said to him. He nodded and went to classroom.

I went to Jonatas. I know this is awkward after my first impression to him on the other day but anyway, I have to do this.

"Hi," I said standing beside him.

He turned to my side and I was in shock when my eyes met his. His eyes were red, may be he was crying but why? I felt bad, I don't know why but still I felt it.

"Hello," he said with small smile but that smile was not coming from his inside.

"Actually I want to return your handkerchief, " I said and showed his handkerchief.

"No it's okay you can keep it if you want," he said genuinely.

"But I don't use gents handkerchief," I teased him. It made him smile. He was smiling and damn he looks so gorgeous, I mean genuinely 😚.

"Then I will take it," he said.

"And....umm I want to say you something else...actually um... I want to ...I want to apologize for that day... I guess you remember right? I was so rude to you and your girlfriend but still you helped me yesterday, you really had a heart of gold," I confessed to him.

"First thing you don't have to be sorry for what you said, I mean anybody can get angry at your position that day, even if I was you, I also may get angry with that and secondly I helped because of humanity. I will do that to any other girl which I done to you and trust me I was never mad at you for that party night," he explained.

"Got it," I said with a half smile. "By the way, can I ask you something? " I asked.

"What?"

"Umm .....your eyes are red ....were your crying? And look a little bit of depressed too, I mean you can tell me if you  want. I know I am becoming extra friendly but as you help me earlier, I can help you now," I suggested stupidity. I don't know what I was thinking when I said that.

"That's so sweet of you Malia but there is nothing to say and my eyes are red because because of.....that I.....I didn't sleep well last night and that's the reason," he was lying and can say that by his eyes. But I didn't push him too because I don't have that right on him neither I am his friend.

"Got it,see you later," I waved and walk away. He also said "sure" before I can leave.

I came to my classroom but I saw Nina sit in my place beside Peter. Peter gave a sorry look that he didn't save my place but it's okay there are plenty of vacant place where I can take a seat, so I took a seat in next row.

I was taking out my book from my bag when someone asked me, "will you mind if I sit beside you?" I looked towards the sound and it was Raphael Sander, one of the best friends of Raymond.

There are plenty of vacant seats then why he wants to seat beside me.

I didn't said anything I just gave him space to seat which he accepted and sit beside me.

"By the way I am Raphael Sander, your brother's best friend," he introduced himself.

"That means you probably know me right?" I said blankly.

"Honestly I only know your name and who are you, nothing more than that but I guess I want to know more about you," he said looking into my eyes. Is he flirting with me? 'of course stupid he is flirting with you ' I scolded myself mentally. Damn it why I gave him place to seat.

Before I can answer, our math teacher enter in our class signaling to keep silent. During the class he didn't make any effort to say something neither I.
After that class I went to the next class.

******************************

At lunch time my brother called me to introduce his friends and his girlfriend.

"Are you sure you are not coming with me?" I asked to Peter as he decided to not come with me to join my brother's crew.

"Nope, I okay here," he said as he sit in a vacant table of the cafeteria.

"Actually I also hate this being socially active anyway I will be back," I said and he gave me a smile.

I went to place where Raymond and his friends were sitting.

"Hi, everyone, " I said to them.

"Oh Malia, guys pay attention, I want to introduce my twin sister, so don't make any noise," Raymond said."Malia this is Crystal, my girlfriend, this Mathew, but we call him Matt. This is Raphael, Natasha, this is  Jadyn. They are all my best friends, and guys this is my twin sister Malia, she is little bit of hot temper but otherwise she is very cool, " he said and I gave him would you stop talking nonsense? type of look.

"Malia, why don't you join us? more people more fun you fun..." Natasha suggested.

"No it's okay you guys carry on...." I said.

"You are saying this because of Peter right?" Raymond eyed me.

"At some point you can say that," I replied.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Natasha asked curiously.

"No no, he is my good friend, " I corrected her.

"By the way Malia, I am inviting you in my Birthday Party tomorrow and you have to come and you can come with Peter, I am inviting him too," Crystal said to me with mouth full smile.

"Okay, I will try," I replied with a smile.

"No you have to come, please," Crystal request.

"Okay," I assured her.

"Hey Matt where Jonatas and Ellie, I have to invite them too," Crystal asked.

"I don't know, I saw Ellie in my second period but she was in a bad mood I guess, when I went to talk to her, she almost snapped at me," Matt said.

"Anyway guys carry on, see you later," I said and walked to where Peter was sitting and eating his lunch like the world doesn't exist.

I took a seat beside him. "Crystal invited us in her birthday party tomorrow," I said but Peter didn't reply. I looked at him and he is still in his own world.

"Hello, are you listening? " I jerked him.

Then he came back to the earth and to," Did you said something to me? " and I gave him "what? Are you kidding me?" type of look.

"I said Crystal invited us in her birthday party tomorrow, " I said to him.

"Oh,..... I don't do parties and all,....," he chuckled at his own words and added, " actually nobody invites me." Oh no, not again, every time I say something to him he always took it in his agony. I don't know why that this guy lost every kind liveliness in his life.

"So what neither do I, but you know what sometimes we should try something which we actually never tried before, " I said to him hopefully. "And secondly you don't have any option, you have to come with me otherwise I am not going," I added.

"But," he was going to say something but I cut him.

"No if,no but, I will pick you up from your house, so sent me your address later, okay? " I said.

He thought a little and then said, " okay ."

******************************

School is over now and Peter and I came to the football ground for the football match, actually I had to push Peter a little to come here because he don't have any interest in football. My brother was also in the team so mostly people will think that I came here to cheer him but actually I came here for something else, to see something else.

In the ground I can spot Raymond, Jadyn, Jonatas and Derek and his friends and the other players in their jersey of the football team. They were discussing about the game plan. The opponent team was also present in the ground with their couch.

With the whistle the match start. First fifteen minutes of the match was well but after that when the team members started to sweat problem begins. As the pest control spray which I spread over Derek's jersey when started to mix up with his sweat, it begins itching. I can see he started itching his arms, shoulder, chest, hands every where in the middle of the game. My plan is successful and now I am just going to enjoy the show. He couldn't concentrate on the game rather he fall on the ground and started itching his back by the help of ground. Everyone was looking at him and started laughing at his movements. I couldn't stop myself anymore and started laughing so hard that Peter was now seeing me with suspicious eyes. May be he got any clue.

Derek couldn't hold anymore and leave the ground. In the second half of the match, our school played well and won the game. But Derek was not present in the second half. Everybody seemed disappointed on Derek. In the whole match, Peter was keep glancing at me with suspicious look but didn't say anything.

When the match was over we came to the parking lot. But before I can open my car door Peter stopped me.

"What?" I stated.

"You did this, aren't you?" Peter asked with a cold look.

"What are you talking about? What I have done? " I act innocently like I don't have any idea what he was talking about.

"Stop lying Malia, it's not a joke, you embarrassed him in front of the school, " he said.

"And so did he Peter, he humiliated me in front of the whole school and what do you think I will leave him like that, I am not that type of goody goody girls who don't know how take revenge, beside I don't think I did anything wrong and do you have any problem then you can go and tell everyone that I did it," I stated.

"Why would I do that, you are my friend?" He replied.

"That's good,"

"It was a memorable scene by the way, " he said with a smirk.

"Totally," I replied with a mischievous laugh.

******************************

I drove back home but when I was parking the car in the driveway I could hear loud sounds like the house was gathering more people in it than other days. I open the entrance door of the house and suddenly mom greeted me," honey you are back, you know who are waiting for you?"

"Mom, how do I know who are waiting me?" I said sarcastically.

"Oh, come on, let's go to dinning room, " mom said to me and I followed her.

As I reach to the kitchen, the people those who were waiting for for me were non other than my grandparents and my father's best friend Jeremy with his wife Amanda and their 15 year old son Nolan. I was in total amusement when I saw my grandparents. I saw them a while ago and now they are here.

"They came here to welcome you and we are arranging a small welcome party for you, I know you don't like excessive crowd so we decided to keep it simple, is that okay with you? " mom said cupping her one hand in my right cheek. I nodded. I was so surprised that I cannot utter a single word rather I run to my grandma and hugged her tightly which she accept and hugged me tightly.

"Awww, my child, you are grown so beautiful,  I am seeing you after such a long time, " she said as we broke the hug. "Look your grandpa will going to cry now," she teased him.

"Awww grandpa, don't cry, I missed you too, " I said to him.

"I know Malia, it's just when I saw you I couldn't but stop remember the past days when you come with your parents to the farm house and we all go to the picnics and all," Grandpa said remembering all those past day.

"Awww dad, it's okay," mom said.

"Malia go to your room fast and get ready, guest will going to visit anytime, okay? " mom said.

"Guest?" I asked.

"Oh, don't worry just few, now go fast fast,"  she replied.

God knows who are those guest?

******************************

I went to my room and took a bath. Then I selected a white floral dress from my wardrobe as mom said to me to wear something good rather than my regular causal wear. I got ready and I used a little make up, actually I really don't know how to use make up kits so I even don't buy them. I came to downstairs and found some more friends of mom and dad.

"Darling you look so pretty," Mom complimented.

Oh not again, I hate those stupid compliments which based on  looks.

"Thank you, " I replied.

Raymond was back in house now and he told me how they won the match but I didn't informed him I was present there all the time. Then Dad introduced me to his guests.

Around 8 o'clock our door bell again rang. Mom went to door to the door and opened it.

"Welcome welcome, we are waiting for you, come inside, " I was in the kitchen but still I can hear mom what was she saying to the guest.

"Malia, come here, we have guests, " then mom called me.

"Coming," I replied and went to the drawing room.

As I entered the room and the first thing that I noticed was those magical hazel eyes which can hypnotize or melt anyone at an instant. He looks so gorgeous in dark blue shirt and black jeans. I couldn't stop my damn eyes to check him out. Damn it, I always do that when he come in front. Control Malia, control. He caught me that I was watching him and at the same time I removed my gaze from him.

"Malia, meet Mr. and Mrs. Skriver and this is Andrea and Jonatas, their children, they are our neighbor," mom introduced me and I gave them bright smile.

"Nice to meet you Malia, " Mrs. Skriver said.

Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Skriver, " I replied.

When I saw the girl named Andrea, I remembered I saw her before in the park when I went for a test drive of my car. She is the same girl. I doubt she remember me.

"If I am not wrong, we met before right?" Andrea said to me.

"Absolutely, I remember you," I replied her. "But I didn't had any clue that you are Jonatas's sister," I said to her.

"So now we know each other, we can hang out sometimes are you okay with that?" Andrea asked.

"Sure, that will be amazing," I said with a smile.

All this time Jonatas was busy in his phone may be chatting with some one, may be with his girlfriend. Anyway who cares. Right? But he looks little bit of stressed may be because of school stuffs. I was a little upset, he didn't say a 'Hi' to me all this time. Is he angry with me? But why? No no he shouldn't be, I mean I don't think he have any reason for that. Let's not over think about it.

Dad arranged the dinning place in the backyard. All the guest and our family member enjoyed the dinner. Mom made all my favorite dishes. I never imagine that my parents will give a welcome party. I became a little emotional so I went to the kitchen to wash my face. After I washed my face then I decided to eat some deserts that left in the refrigerator. I opened the freezer and found a packet of vanilla ice cream. I took it out but when I was going to taste it someone called, "excuse me, can I get some water? " I turned towards the voice and it was non other than Jonatas Skriver.

Oh God, and I forgot how to breath.
