THIRD PERSON’S P.O.V

“Come on, Dude, go talk to her.” Conner nudged Aiden, impatient because he wanted to see the girl humiliated and broken.

Aiden was still unsure with this whole thing. I mean he had to hurt her, you know? He was a bad boy of the school but he never tried something called relationship. It was a challenge for him. But the girl, Grace, she never talked to anyone. So all he could think was why they wanted her to suffer so badly. But he shrugged and started walking towards her.

Grace was sitting in the corner seat, recalling childhood days when she was with her mother and happy. A small smile tugged on her lips but she realized what she was doing. After all smiling was forbidden for her. Every time she smiled, something bad happened and she suffered for the things she never did. She took a deep breath, wishing to get this senior year over soon. She had few plans; she wanted to go far away from all this. There was a small hope for all this but hope is what keeps you alive, right?

“Hey? Is it taken?” a voice startled her.

She looked up to find Aiden looking down at her. She furrowed her brows and inspected the room and there were many empty seats. Then why was he asking her? But deciding to ignore this thing, she just shook her head and turned away from him.

Aiden took a seat beside her. For the first time, he looked at her, just stared at her. She was indeed beautiful. With baby blue eyes and dark brown hair, she was too different. He shook his head to get rid of these thoughts,

“Hi, I’m Aiden.”

Grace was uncomfortable for some time but she introduced herself too.

Aiden tried to converse with her but she didn’t give response just ignored him.

It was all new for Aiden but he had to make her fall for him. So he tried everything. He followed her after every class, tried to seat with her in lunch time and all little things like standing up for her.

Grace was confused, why the bad boy was running behind her? When she went outside to eat, then also he joined her. A part of her knew that he was after something. She had never got any attention from anyone, not from her parent or anyone from school except Nick. She tried everything to ignore him but Aiden was hell bent on trying to talk to her. She knew she was going to regret talking to the bad boy but he wasn’t ready to leave her alone.

She walked out of school to find Aiden standing near the entrance. She ignored him again and was about to walk away but he stopped her.

“Come on, I will drop you home.” he took her hand in his but Grace snatched it away with a frown on her face.

Aiden found it really adorable as this girl was doing everything to resist him.

“What do you want?” she finally asked him.

“Nothing. Just want to be your friend, that’s all.”

“Don’t.” Grace shook her head and walked away from him towards Nick’s school.

Aiden stood there watching her walking away from him and he didn’t miss those glassy eyes. She was intriguing in a very different way. Aiden shook his head to get rid of those thoughts.

“What are you writing in there?” Kyle’s voice startled me as I closed my book and turned towards him. He was wiping his hands on some cloth and then he leaned closer to me.

“Ummm… nothing?” I didn’t know what to answer.

He let out a small chuckle, “Secret?”

I gave a small nod, putting the book back in my bag. There were not many customers today. So I was sitting on my chair writing and doing my work simultaneously.

It had been a week since Kyle joined the diner and as Delilah was saying suddenly there were increase in young girls customers. He was a fun guy to be around. We spent most of our evenings together in diner and got to know each other. In school he acknowledged me and even introduced me to Noah. Noah was a funny guy who would crack joke in any serious situation and was really friendly.

Initially I used to think that they were arrogant and didn’t want to talk to anyone but after knowing them personally, I think, I judge them like everyone else from their scary, tattooed looks.

My brothers? Well, how could you forget them? Dawson, my favorite brother was as usual happy that I made another friend who will protect me while Drake and Damien didn’t take it really well especially Damien because he always gave stinky eye or glare to Kyle.  Even Kyle knew this thing because one day he asked me

“Your brother, he doesn’t really like me, right?”

“Well, trust me; he doesn’t like any guy other than my childhood friends.”

“Oh! The guy with blond hair?”

“Ethan! His name is Ethan. He and Payton are my best friends as long as I remember.”

“Oh!”

“Don’t worry. He will come around. He is just protective of me, I guess.”

But even after a week, Damien still didn’t approve Kyle’s company. He always gave me stupid reasons about how he can be in a gang or he might be doing drugs or something like that. But after knowing Kyle, I knew that they all were wrong.

“Oh! That’s okay.” Kyle shrugged and plopped down beside me.

“Maybe I would show you when I will feel like.” I gave him a cheeky smile to which he chuckled shaking his head.

“And when that will happen?”

“Umm... I don’t know… Soon, I guess?”

“Oh! Great.” Silence was cut off by the shrill ringtone of Kyle’s phone as he gave everyone a sheepish smile before taking out his phone. I couldn’t help but looked at his phone out of curiosity. But the name that flashed on his screen took my breath away and I paled.

‘DAMON’

No! It can’t be him. No no! It’s not him. I was hyperventilating as my heartbeats increased. I took a hold of the table in order to keep myself calm but the questions and memories were making it difficult.

“Danielle? Danny?” Suddenly Kyle placed his hands on my shoulder and looked at me with concerned eyes. After taking few deep breaths, I gave him a small smile telling him, I was okay. He didn’t look convinced but fortunately he dropped the subject giving me a small nod.

There can be two people with the same names, right? It wasn’t him. Kyle was a good guy, there was no way he knew him. I was over thinking everything.

“Danny, we should go home. I think you’re not feeling well. I’ll drop you.”

“But…”

“Our shift is over anyway. Let’s go.” He took my hand in his and led me out.

After bidding goodbye to others, we made our way to his bike.

“Is Dawson home?” Kyle asked me.

“Umm... No but Drake will be there.” Kyle let out a small groan and I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

Dawson was the only one with whom he got along. Other two was a totally different story. Drake even threatened him about keeping his distance which was funny.

“Let’s go.” He started the bike.

Soon we were standing in front of my house.

“I will see you tomorrow in school. Good night, bugs bunny.” Kyle teased me.

“Should I call you daffy duck?”

“Go away! Shoo shoo…” he threw his hands dramatically in air before pushing me towards my home. Laughing, I waved at him.

He was a character, whenever he was with me or Noah; he was himself, the sweet, happy, caring, dramatic guy. But when it came to other people, he was what they call him scary gangster.

Chuckling to myself, I opened the door only to be welcomed by Drake who was standing by the living room window glaring outside.

“Ummm… Drake?”

“Why didn’t you call me? I could have pick you up.” He raised his eyebrow. Feeling annoyed I rolled my eyes and threw myself on sofa.

“Our home is on the way so Kyle dropped me.”

“I don’t like him.” Drake grumbled lifting my feet from the sofa and sitting down there.

“Dawson doesn’t mind…!”

“Dawson is stupid. He doesn’t know half of the things. He just behaves like he knows everything. Stupid asshole.” he threw back but he missed the fact that Dawson was actually standing by the door glaring at Drake.

I covered my mouth to stop few giggles, pulling away my legs from Drake’s lap ready to escape from the fight that was about to occur due to Drake’s unfiltered mouth.

“I think I’m gonna leave.” I stood up looking between them and that’s when Drake noticed Dawson standing by the door.

Drake cursed under his breath and then Dawson attacked him by throwing himself on Drake, throwing some punches as well. Drake squealed like a girl which made me laugh rolling on the floor. After wrestling for about ten minutes both were exhausted and fell on sofa with Dawson on top of Drake. I still couldn’t stop laughing as I sat on the floor as well.

Suddenly door opened and entered Damien with a crazy glint in his eyes,

“What did I miss?”

And that’s when my third crazy brother jumped on his older brothers letting out a battle cry resulting in groans from both of them. They were impossible but I loved them to death.
