That night was our last night in Mash Mill because the next day we were heading to Hunky Dory town. I was dead tired when my cheek hit the pillow and sleep took me away from the entire hustle-bustle.

I didn't wake up when alarm continuously rang for ten times on my head. I didn't wake up with thunderous knocks on the door that woke up other people on the floor but I did wake up when someone suddenly splashed a 5 litre of bucket of cold water over me.

'Wohhhhhh what the hell!!!!' I woke up like someone had given me a shock and I was dripping from head to toe.

'Look, the careless beauty has finally woken up' I looked up to see the culprit Brayden with the bucket in his hand. 'Will you wake up, we have a bus to catch in 1 hour.'

I was silently sitting unable to grasp the situation, my warm bed was downright cold now and then I saw him going in the bathroom and bringing the bucket with water filled up to its brim.

'I am up, I am up. No need of your act of heroism.'

'That's great then, I regret not doing this yesterday itself but I didn't want to ruin my mood for appointment. But today, was soooo fun. You can accept this for burning my shirt.' He had that evil smirk on his face.

I thought he said it enough when he added, 'But don't glare at me. It just happened unconsciously.' He took a pause. 'but it's just the starting, be ready for more.'

Like hell, I will be scared. Bring it On.

We reached Hunky Dory town and we always stayed within 5 km radius. He always vanished for some hours telling me about important appointments and I was left wondering what he actually did for a living.

And when we met whenever we got time, he always used to remind me, 'that something worse is definitely coming' or scared me with his stupid spider pranks or murdering me with his sarcastic comments.

Our stop was here for two days and one evening while we were in a diner having dinner, I felt like his evil eyes were telling me that he was planning something bad for me.

I had to make my move first. Luck was in my favour. He excused himself for the washroom and left his phone behind. When he was out of my sight, I quickly took his phone and started unlocking it with his screen password. I had peeked earlier just twice or thrice while he drew his pattern and somehow I tried to unlock it. Time was running but after three failed attempts and paying undeniable concentration in my own head, I unlocked it.

I quickly did what I had to do and kept the phone in an exact position. After a few minutes, he came back.

'Scarlett.' I looked at him with my most innocent look. 'If you want, you can head back to the hostel or you can wait here. I need to talk to one lady, so, I will meet you later.' And then he winked at me.

'Ohhh!!! So, you found someone. That's cool. I will head outside then. But my only advice to you, just work on your averageness.'

'Oh please!! By the end of our conversation, she will be giving me her phone number and maybe a kiss and who knows where our actions might lead us, want to bet?'

'I might puke for thinking about "your actions" but overconfidence will be your downfall and yeah, be prepared to lose.'

So, I quickly head out and told him that I will be going to hostel but I ducked myself behind the diner's door and noticed their conversation. The girl was pretty, seemed of my age and they both were giggling about something. She took out her phone and at that moment, I decided to swing my wand.

I took out my phone and dialled the rabbit's number. The moment it started ringing I noticed their expressions and saw discomfort on Brayden's face. That pretty face made a stinking expression. Brayden looked around, left and right and I quickly hid. I again dialled and again and again and I just couldn't control my laughter. He quickly excused himself and I saw him marching towards the door.

'SCARLETT!!!!' He roared once he came out.

I came out of my hiding place. 'I am over here.' And I just couldn't control my laughter and I laughed right at his scary face.

'So, did you get the phone number and kiss with your FART RINGTONE.' I was unable to complete my words because my eyes became so watery.

And he was standing still and looking at me with unbelievable expression.

I made a mock mic and brought my hands close to his mouth. 'So, how does it feel like for losing your bet? Any comments about your fart ringtone, sir. Do you think it should be louder?' I asked in a reporter tone.

He didn't say anything but moved on while I was left behind laughing like a maniac but he quickly came back with his long strides, 'this isn't OVER.' and again left me laughing hysterically. I laughed so much that I lay down on the road.

'She will give me her phone number and maybe a kiss. Yeah, she did, she gave the poor soul her stinking expression.' My stomach started hurting with so much laughter but indeed it was the best prank of my life.

Well we moved on and hopped on to our next destination to OMG city. People loved ginger so much that every food that I ate had so much ginger. The place that we were staying in had a really cute guest, Aryan. He seemed of my age or maybe older but I didn't care.

Whenever I talked to him, he blushed with his cute dimples. My hormones used to burn looking at that overloaded cuteness and I just wanted to hug him so desperately.

Who am I kidding? I wanted to kiss him so desperately.

One fine chirping day, I got the opportunity to get a hold of him and I was just trying so hard to make a sweet innocent impression on him, giggling on his lame jokes but still giggling, tucking my hair behind my ear, batting my eyelashes way too many times and I was laughing with hand on my mouth and hiding my beautiful smile because apparently I was afraid to show him my real smile which comes with loud disruptive noises when suddenly the world fall crashing on me.

Someone dumped a whole bin of garbage over my head.

I felt like a mountain had been toppled over me.

'Woohh, who did that?' Aryan said looking at me and then took out banana peel and eggshell from my head.

I know who did this and he is so dead.

I looked up and saw Brayden in the balcony, smiling and waving at me innocently.

'Oh my, it's you Scarlett? I thought it was a garbage truck and that's why I dumped the garbage.'

'You just didn't see a sexy lady right over here. You must be blind.' I added sexy so that Aryan could imagine I was sexy at least before garbage was dumped on me.

'Naah, I just saw a garbage truck.' He shouted so the whole world could listen and simply shrugged.

'Aryan, would you please wait for me. I have some unfinished business.'

I didn't wait for his response because I rushed upstairs and saw Brayden running away from me like someone killed his cat.

'BRAYDEN!!!! I will kill you. You just wait.' I had to run three flights of stairs and I was already out of breath.

I need to join gym.

I was running with a pungent smell and a crushed coke can in my hand as a weapon to crush his dumb head. But man, he ran fast like an athlete and before I could get a hold of him, he went to his room and locked the door.

Because he knew, I wouldn't dare to step in his room. I knew if I entered I would find dirty boxers everywhere.

Yukkkk.

'Rabbit, come out of the room, RIGHT NOW,' I started banging on his door and I was so furious.

'Carrot, let's settle this. You started it and I am ending it. We both are on the same page.' He said from the other side of the door.

'Nooo, I will kill you and then my life will get settled.'

I was crushing the crushed can with my bare hands and that moment boosted me to feel like a wrestler.

'Oh come on Scarlett! We both have to live with each other for a few more days. You can't be murderous all the time.'

Wow the nerve of this man to actually sympathise with me after dumping garbage on me.

'So, let's do one thing, let's end this feud by saying sorry to each other. That would be great, right carrot?'

I contemplated his thoughts and realised that even I was tired of all this. Because of our murderous goals, I couldn't divulge myself in these past cities, I couldn't add anything great in my journal and therefore, I decided not to ruin my further journey.

'Okay. Fine. On the count of three, we both will say sorry.' I started the counting. 'One, two, three.'

'SORRY.'

We uniformly said.

Funny, it all happened without looking at each other. But what if he really wasn't sorry or this was all a part of his another ploy?

I went back to my room and showered straight for one hour and dressed warmly. I settled myself comfortably on my creaky bed and took out my diary to summarise what I have dealt in these three cities.

It just happened that I burnt his shirt.

He says that unconsciously he dropped five litres of a bucket of water on me.

Unconscious his ass.

I never planned to put fart ringtone on his phone but his evil intentions made me do it.

And somehow he happened to drop a pile of garbage on me when I was talking to the love of my life.

Oh!! how much I want to kill myself or him and then the life will get settled.
