CHAPTER 1

  "taara are you up , get up or you'll get late for your school " the man's voice rang in her head . she groaned and turned and tossed in her bed to slip back in her deep slumber but then it was disturbed again when sudden light entered in her room , she was sure that her sleep hater must have opened the curtain of her room inviting the unwanted morning light .

  "taara , hurry up , it's your first day of school " his voice entered her ears again but she ignored it , she didn't want to go to an unknown place . she dreaded this day and she was afraid .

  "fine" the man huffed and snatched the blanket . she groaned and sat up , her hairs were a mess , her midnight blue eyes sleepy , she glared at him and pouted showing him her puppy eyes only to get a playful smack on her head .

"oww " she groaned

"this won't work on me your royal highness , go get ready or no ice-cream for you for a month " hearing this her eyes widened and she rushed to the bathroom door , the man chuckled , he knew that everything works when it comes to ice-creams.
  .
  .
  .
  "good , taara , come on I have made your favorite breakfast " the man told taara while setting up her and his plate .

"Neer , I- I don't want t-to go , c-can I not continue with the homeschooling" she asked nervously fidgeting with her fingers . fear was clear in her eyes , she was scared , very much scared , she was afraid to face the unfamiliar faces , being prohibited with human interaction for so many years has left her in fear of the humans .

Neer got up from his chair and walked over to her , he kissed her forehead and took her in his warm embrace .

"taara , you can continue with your home-schooling , I don't have any problem with it " neer said and a smile appeared on her face "but then you would never be able to face your fears again , until and unless you won't face your fears they would keep chasing you , we have been preparing for this day for so long , and you only told me that if you find your family then you want to appear normal infront of them right" neer asked gently and she nodded in a yes .

"then for that you would have to do it , this is your first step taara ...and I believe you , do you trust me " he asked cupping her face

"yes" she answered without any hesitation , he was the only one she trusted with her life . he had brought her back from a cruel world , he had given her a name , an identity , he was her guardian angel , her shield .

"good girl , come let's eat then .." neer seated her on the chair and when both of them finished their breakfast , they both left . neer drove her to her school , parking his car , neer stepped outside the car and walked to her side .

"taara come outside , If you trust me then trust yourself too " he said and stretched his hand in front of her to take it . she took a deep breath and took it . when they step outside , many students were already present there , the girls were all drooling at neer while the boys breath hitched looking at the beauty infront of them .
"she is so hot"
  "he is so handsome "
  "god I am going to definitely ask her out"
  "he looks so rich"
  "I wish I was her"

  And like this several more whispers reached their ears , neer wanted nothing but to grab each and every boys throat and slam it hard against the wall , but he stopped himself , he wanted her to live her life and stand up for herself . on the other hand , taara's grip on his hand tightened , she was scared and the different gazes she was getting from other students made her wanted to run for hills .
 
"it's ok , everything will be fine" neer passed her a motivating smile and then both of them headed towards the principal's office .

"oh hello mr. malik , It's such an honor to have you here " the principal said shaking hands with neer , after all he was a very popular and famous psychiactrist .
 
"hello ms. Taara , here is your schedule and your locker keys , i am very sure that just like your brother you must be a very bright and smart person " the principal sugar coated , knowing the man sitting in front of him was no less than a celebrity , he was a very popular figure .

"she is not my sister " neer cleared and clenched his fist kept on his lap "we are family friends and I am her legal guardian" neer finished and glared at the principal due to which he immediately shrank in his chair .

"o-oh y-yes" he said .
 
Neer grabbed taara's wrist and they both walked out of his office .
 
"listen taara , if you feel even a little bit of suffocation , you would call me right away , even though I have put your pills in your bag , if something triggers you and you are not able to handle it ,then take them immediately , ok" neer told taara and she nodded .
 
"you'll do great" neer smiled and kissed her forehead .
 
She hugged him and then walked towards her first class .
 
As she entered everyone went silence , she took a deep breath and told the teacher that she was a new student .
 
"hello sweetheart , you must be the new student well if you want you can introduce herself" the teacher said to her , taara was fighting her fears , her nervousness and her anxiety , but she took a deep breathe and clenched her fists on either side to prevent herself from shaking .
 
"good morning everyone , my name is taara and I hope we'll get along well " she said with a breathtaking smile , the boys gawked at her as if she was their prey .

"ok sweety you can sit beside uhh" the teacher tried to figure an empty seat but it was heavily crowded "oh yes , you can sit beside mr. martinez" as soon as she took the name , taara flinched , her heart picked up it's speed and her brain went into streams of havoc , she couldn't point out what was with the name , it sounded so oddly familiar .
 
"Mr. Martinez please raise your hand" the teacher asked and a boy sitting at the middle bench raised his hand , he didn't bother to look up and move his gaze from the book he was reading , taara's heart was throbbing in her chest , she didn't want to sit with boys , they scared her . but for a normal life she walker over to his seat , when she seated he didn't still look at her , not that she complained about , she was thankful to all the gods above . she didn't want any boy to talk to her .
