"The Night of Unsettling Messages"

umber pov:

zara was standing there in shock as if she had seen some kind of ghost. zara who was that much confident, who could easily make other people believe that she is right even when she is wrong was quiet at that moment. She was frozen in her place. as if she was not able to digest the words which came to her right now.

" you look so worried take this drink and relax cinderella" The words echoed inside her. and were rooming inside her but it seemed as if her sensing abilities were frozen at the moment and she was unable to think what it was.

I could see hesitation and tension in her eyes so I reached her quickly, and without putting a glance at zara I faced the boy.

" keep this thing to yourself 'cause she is totally not interested" I spoke while giving a deadly look into his eyes.

the guy didn't like the answer I guess cause the hate in his eyes could be seen easily right now. I felt a sense of danger but I didn't let the guy know this.

" why is this girl talking in your place cinderella is she one of your minions" He looked straight into Zara's face and said, as if he was ignoring my presence.

what the hell from where this man got his courage to say this, I just could not control myself and was about to mouth back when I felt an arm grab around mine it was Zara's arm. as if she wanted me not to say anything. and I am glad that she stopped me cause if she had not trouble would have caused in this place.

zara swallowed the saliva which was stuck in her throat a moment ago. tension and fear could easily be studied in her eyes as she said" I am not interested."

she just said that and we were about to move from the place when we heard him again.

"I am not quite used to rejections," he said as he comes to his long hair with his fingers. then he continued, "But I think this Cinderella deserves more chances."

was this guy shameless, yes he was. the girl rejected her right in the middle of the party but this guy wanted to be rejected again and again. I just couldn't help but just mouth back

"I guess you don't know the meaning of not interested" and hold Zara's arm again which she dropped a second ago due to the shock she got.

" you are going to retreat messing up with me girl so just stay back," he said while giving me a dangerous look.

" as if I am afraid" I talked back while giving him a playful smile. and just went out of the place. and moved towards the canteen.

"two burgers and two cold drinks," I said and then focused on Zara's tense face. and told her

"Don't worry that person could do nothing relax"

"What was that," zara said hiding the tension roaming inside her.

"just the person could not stop himself after looking at this beauty," I said playfully while giving her a wink.

"shut up" She looked annoyed

"Where is maya?" I wanted to change the topic and I was worried about her.

"I called her and she says she can't come because there is a family problem" zara told

the guy at the canteen who gave us what we ordered and we then headed towards one of the classrooms as we were not interested in the movie that had been displayed.

I and Zara stayed for so long in the classroom. we talked I told her that I loved what imama was wearing, she asked about my phone and I told her that I forgot that, then we both took many pictures from her phone and I asked her if I can tag her in my Instagram stories.

and then we both went out. this time high music was on cause some students requested that no one be interested in the movie so please play music. Then we both found Imama's group and some other girls of our class standing so zara told me that we should also join them and dance.

as we reached them zara told imama that she was looking great and that I have the same thoughts. imama kinda blushed at the compliment. She then complimented zara back and told her that she was looking just like a Cinderella.

It's ten I noticed erfa and muntaha standing beside them muntaha and erfa were also looking so great and beautiful.

"music is so good let's dance" zara said.

and then we all dance making a circle around ourselves. we just let our bodies react to the beats and let them free as everyone else in the hall was doing the same.

we didn't see that person again in the hall so the tension inside zara faded.

we all danced and enjoyed the whole rest event. the event didn't seem to end soon and now it was getting late so I called my brother from Zara's phone and asked him to pick me up and zara was also heading home, so there was no reason to stay.

we were both going towards the gate when someone throws a paper ball at us and I suddenly bent down to pick it up when I got up and saw in the direction from where it came from nobody was there except dark.

I opened the paper and words started to appear before my eyes. a sudden shock could be seen in my eyes after reading the words and when I showed what it was to zara she got the same expression, no worse than that.

I told her that this is just bullshit and coaxed her and asked her not to worry, then we both got out of the gate and went towards the cars waiting for us outside.

the paper ball now opened was left dropped inside the gate and words were handwritten on it.

"it's not over Cinderella"
