Prologue

The young man stood facing the scene before him, not quite understanding what was going on or why. His vision was only restricted to the body of a girl lying in front of him. He looked dazed, and he felt like he was choking on his own breath. His heart was constricting and expanding against his ribcage, threatening to break it to pieces. He tried crying, but no tears came out. He picked the girl gently in his arms, and his feet automatically carried him to a gate adorned with stars and jewels.“Gabriel,” he shouted and banged his head against the gate, not caring if the rods bruised him as if scorching his skin like molten fire. Gabriel arrived a while later and surveyed the boy, though said nothing. He waited patiently for the boy to regain his composure. The boy shouted again, “Please, Gabriel. She is dying; bring her back.”Gabriel said sadly, “I’m sorry, child. Her journey has

Chapter One

The clock went on with its tick-tick as the hands dragged itself to 11:45 pm. It was going to be Zara’s birthday in fifteen minutes. She was going to turn 16. “It was magical to turn sweet sixteen,” Veronica had said.Veronica was her best and only friend. Veronica was a plump girl who enjoyed eating as if it was her full-time job. She had turned sixteen two months earlier and had gone on and on about how life was going to be a turning point and how she would now have boys waiting in line for her. Of course, Zara wasn’t into boys. (Or, for anyone for the record) Zara only had eyes for Harvard.As the minute hand inched closer to the number 12, Zara began to feel drowsy. She was dying to sleep, but Veronica had forced her to stay awake so that she could be the first to welcome her to the sweet sixteen.Stupid V thought Zara. But then there was no-one except Veronica an

Chapter Two

At 5:00 am, Zara's alarm blared loudly. She woke up yawning and was almost going to crash into the warm blanket again when she heard her mother, "Wake up, honey. You have an assignment to finish."At that, she got up reluctantly. If there was something Zara hated, it was being called out by a teacher. Zara was a studious girl who always had her nose in a book. She had managed to get straight A's so far. She also knew her mother wouldn't be able to afford tuition fees and thus worked hard to receive a full scholarship. She also planned to take up a part-time job in the summer vacation to earn extra money.Zara got up, put on her glasses, and took out her English assignment. The class had been asked to write an essay on "The seven sins" and come up with ways to tackle any one of them through peace. Zara had a penchant for literature and history. Thus she finished her essay in half an hour, shoved the books in her bag,

Chapter Three

Zara took a step towards Ryan and stood an inch away from him. She had meant to pull a tight slap across his face, but now she realized how close they were standing. She could feel his breath on her cheeks as he was a good two inches taller than her. Suddenly her resolve melted. She meant to speak in her most commanding voice, but her voice came out as a croak, "Leave me alone," Ryan inched closer and whispered, "Or what?"Zara backed away and dragged Veronica with her, who was waving her hands at Ryan. Zara turned around to look at Ryan, who was smiling with a mischievous look in his eyes. Zara gave him a cold stare and hurried to the class. Zara and Veronica settled in their desks, and a little later, their teacher, the supremely strict Mrs. Norris, arrived. She had short hair, wore rings on all her fingers. As she was about to start, Ryan appeared at the door. "Good Morning, Mrs. Norris. I am Ryan; Principal Wood must have told you about

Chapter Four

Zara was taken aback as he left the library abruptly. She spent the whole day thinking if she had been too harsh on him. She was joined by Veronica in searching for him for the remainder of the day to no avail.By the end of the school, everyone had heard about how Zara had shouted at poor Ryan, who hadn't said a word to her. Everybody was looking at her with angry eyes. The girls looked at her as if she was stupid to blow her only chance of a hot date, and the boys were curious as to why would be the new guy interested in her.Veronica and Zara gave up their search for Ryan and sat in the cafeteria to complete the next day's assignment so that they would have their evening free to celebrate Zara's birthday. Zara's mother had called her to update that she had an urgent meeting pop-up at the last minute. The meeting was supposed to go on for 3-4 hours that would make her arrive home pretty late. She apologized over a

Chapter Five

"Well, that's a secret. After all, you had asked me to plan your surprise birthday party." Ryan smiled with a twinkle in his eyes. "We don't have much time left to plan an elaborate celebration. However, I wouldn't want a beautiful girl to be alone on her birthday."Zara blushed. She had worked so hard to avoid boys, worn clothes that always covered her up, wore glasses, and kept her nose buried in books. After her father had left her mother to raise a kid alone, she had resolved to never give away her heart. She was sure if she ever fell in love, her man would leave too.She had many questions popping up, but she asked, "Who were those men? It seemed like you were having an argument with them." Ryan waved away her concern, "My father has made a lot of enemies in his business. People like to take it out on me sometimes, but I am always prepared.""Is that why you came to Missouri from San Fr

Chapter Six

The sun was shining on the bedroom window, yet Zara was snoring heavily. She was an early bird and seldom got up late, even on Sundays. Her phone rang, disturbing her sleep, and she lazily hit the receive button. Her head throbbed painfully, and she had trouble focusing on things. She managed walking to the bathroom, washed her face, and looked around for a painkiller. She gulped it down with half a bottle of water and sat again on her bed with her head in her hands.Her phone blared, and she picked up the call. "Hangover over, birthday girl?" asked Veronica."No, V, my head hurts. How…how do you know?" "Your mother had called me up to check if I knew about your date. I covered up for you, and you owe me the complete story. Get ready; I am coming to pick you up."At the mention of last night, Zara's memories of Ryan came flooding back. She recalled how he had held her, caressed her, o

Chapter Seven

Zara cleared her throat, "Chemistry. Almost all teachers have asked me to help you with their respective subjects. So, do you have a free period today?""You tell me," said Ryan as a gang of girls went past them giggling.Zara waved her hand in front of him. "Hello, are you even listening?""Um-hmm""What did I just say?"He took her waving hand in his and pinned her against the wall. His mischievous blue eyes held her gaze as she gasped. "Chemistry...our chemistry...it will be electromagnetic."He released her hand but kept his firmly planted on the wall. Zara gulped unnecessarily. Her voice came out as a squawk, "I was talking about our school subject.""And, I was talking about my subject," replied R

Chapter Eight

Zara began walking towards Veronica’s place and put on headphones in her ears, playing her favorite songs. As she hummed to the songs, she felt herself slip on the snow. She steadied herself and began walking carefully. Darkness was beginning to seep through the skies, and her hoodie was doing a dismal job of protecting her from the cold. She flicked on her mobile torch and began treading again and felt as if someone pulled her leg. She frantically turned around and waved her torchlight everywhere, but there was no one in the vicinity. She convinced herself that she had imagined it when a sharp pull at her leg made her fall down on the snow.Afraid, she shouted, “Who’s there?” She gathered her stuff and dusted the snowflakes off her clothes and jeans when she heard a faint sound of laughter. She again called out, “This isn’t funny; whoever you are, just stop it.”She was afr
