16 Cat Caught Your Tongue

Cat Caught Your Tongue

"Serene, it seems the cat caught his tongue. Isn't it Mr.Playboy?" Diana taunted Zeki.

Zeki responded, "No…." His voice wavered.

His friends felt something odd with the way he was behaving. Rev could see cherry blossoms around Zeki. Caleb felt as if his friend was surrounded with little heart fairies.

Bryan thought Zeki might have had a panic attack due to Serene. It was Zeki's first time being lectured by a stranger.

While Xavier's whole focus remained on his love, his car. He didn't bother with what was happening around him until Bryan harshly pinched his arm.

"Dude, do you have a death wish?" Xavier's voice came out more intimidating and scary.

Bryan snickered at him, "Please let's do this some time later. What we should be directing our brain senses is.."

Then Bryan pointed at Zeki, whose ears had turned beet root. They could see that their friend was flushing.

"Huh? What happened to that chatterbox? Why is he acting… weirdly?" Xavier spoke up.

"That's what we are trying to guess since we aren't sure of what 'exactly' happened to that monkey?"

When Bryan saw his friend casting his gaze to the ground and letting out a shy smile on his already flushing red face.

'If this goes on, I might need to get admitted to the hospital.' Bryan thought.

"Diana, you are right." Serene said.

Livia really enjoyed the badass side of Serene. Serene was the most introverted and silent friend in their group. Also most savage. Her savageness was of another league.

"Earlier, his eyes were glimmering with so much pride. Now look at him acting as teen who got a crush on his senior."

Serene never got pissed but when she was, it would be the day when the girls had to be more cautious around her.

There were many few things that made her angry, her periods. This was universal for every girl.

The other one was someone tried to badmouth them in front of her.

The last one was when people liked to waste her time. She knew the value and worth of time management. Her parents weren't strict but they made sure that their daughter was aware about how important it is to properly utilise the time one has.

Whereas the one she was currently talking about was the most perfect example of 'procrastinator'. Zeki never liked doing things on time, be it waking up or giving his exams. During his exams he would start the paper, exactly 30 mins before the due time.

He had extraordinary brain just like his friends. He didn't have to worry about not passing or getting good ranks as he had a photogenic memory.

It may not work for all but it certainly worked for him, who always viewed time as useless. He didn't care if he woke up at 7am from his sleep or slept at 12am that midnight. Just like this he never tried to do things on time but whenever he felt the need to do.

They were like poles. They were opposite to each other. Yet Zeki detected the unbelievable and uncanny actions that his body was going through since the first glance of Serene.

'Why is my heart racing faster than his favourite race car, Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. He felt like he and her were the only people present and others had diminished for him. He felt electric waves on his skin. At first he couldn't discern it but he found the reason for his body acting out of character was the girl who was standing in front of him. The girl who continued to give him savage replies.'

He stared at her with dreamy eyes.

Serene felt some unknown sensations. So she looked around her, but she couldn't find anything. However, when she moved her eyes to Zeki, she noticed that he was the one who kept gaping at her. Although it wasn't any creepy or lusty gaze rather his gawking made her on edge. She couldn't stand it

"Hey, you creep!! So stop ogling at me like that." She yelled at Zeki who didn't think that his constant gaze had gained him the name of a creep.

'Very well, I got another name in the span of only 1 hours, from Mr.Whatever your name is to Mr.Playbo y to a Creep now. Just so damn amazing. Quite entertaining.' He laughed secretly.

'You are a real hypocrite Serene. You labelled the guy as a creep when you yourself agreed that he wasn't?' The pure soul inside her body sneered at her.

Ines got enough of the drama. Still she didn't voice out her irritation. Her eyes roamed and landed on Caleb. He seemed to sense her. He turned to face the owner of the stares, Ines.

Livia could observe Xavier's silence. She saw how his eyes burnt with a mixture of rage and sadness as his eyes went to the car.

"Is he perhaps...possessed?" Bryan gasped at his own discovery. He thought after analysing Zeki's odd behaviour.

He glanced to his right and left, sighing that none of his friends heard his absurdity.

'Are you sure it is foolish? What can you do if he gets possessed by an evil powdered magic?' His intelligence countered back Bryan's conscious self.

"I must arrange an excellent exorcist for my dear friend, Zeki." He muttered in a low tone.

'Phew… They didn't notice my words.'

Bryan was wrong to think that none heard him as certainly two people did hear him and his words clearly.

'What type of human beings have I been surrounded by? Why do I have crazy friends?'

Rev felt like he had been trapped by his own friends into believing that they were normal since it had been proven before and now too that not one of his friends is stable.

'Am I standing in a zoo or parking area? What's with this guy? Why is his facial expression changing more than a chameleon?

Even it takes to camouflage itself in its surroundings. Why his face seems to turn hotter than the rising temperature of the summer?'

Aza's thoughts jumped from zoos to a chameleon just by looking at Zeki and Bryan.

Her gaze alternated from Zeki to Bryan.

She scanned them from head to toe, to see if they were some special type of aliens that had invaded their Earth.

All this didn't go unnoticed by Rev, who felt a sudden pricking in his chest, more closely to his heart. He kept staring at Aza who was immersed in watching Zeki.

Rev couldn't understand the unexpected pain, it was faint but since it was his own body. He couldn't comprehend why his body reacted like that.

Rev clenched his fist when he saw Aza had an amusing and delighted smile on her as if she was having the best time of her life.

'I want to break something.' The inner devil inside him roared.
