Khushi's POV
I am walking along the same old road with my best friend Carly who is talking about the trip we are going to have on Sunday. Carly has promised me that she will come by herself and not with her useless boyfriend, John but I don't trust her as every time Carly and I plan something John comes out of nowhere. I always feel like, I'm the third wheeling them and also feel lonely, whenever they are together. I have no other friend then Carly and therefore I need the friendship.
Me (worried) - So are you promising me you are coming without John to the trip
Carly (sarcastic) - Of course I won't bring John
I knew she was lying, because of her tone. I wanted to shout at her to leave her useless and stupid boyfriend, but I knew that I couldn't because it would hurt her feelings.
Me (annoyed) - Carly you are my friend, but this friendship is breaking because of your boyfriend, I am sorry but I can't be friends with you if he comes one more time,'
I saw the anger in her eyes and she screamed,
Carly (angry) - You don't have a boyfriend, you are a loner... you don't deserve me anyway... he was right... you are jealous... I don't want a friend like you.'
I looked at her shocked and sad as she left me alone and went. I guess that's how I am supposed to be treated. I had mixed feelings of regret as well as happiness. The regret was the argument that I started but the happiness was that I don't have to be friends with such a rude and arrogant person. I never liked Carly but she is and was my only friend. Everyone in my school likes her then I should as well. Suddenly, I heard a honk, I turn around to search for the source of the honk to see a truck coming towards me. I wanted to run away from the road but I just stood there wanting to be hurt thinking I deserved it but suddenly a hand pulled me away.
Me (assuming it's Carly) - Carly... I knew you would come to save me
I spoke with my eyes closed and crying. I even tried to approach her with my eyes still closed to hug her when I heard an unusual voice, yelling at me
Stranger (yelling) - it's not Carly... open your eyes!! dammit!" I did as told and saw a guy with a pale skin staring at me with his chocolate brown eyes. I was just staring at him and checking him out
Stranger (eyeing me) - if you are done checking me out... what were you doing in the middle of the road and waiting for the truck to hit you
I could feel my cheeks turning red due to his first comment and to hide it, I turned around so my back was facing him.
Me (embarrassed) - who are you? Why did you save me?
I was expecting him to answer my question and then leave me but instead, he started to drag me to a white car and commanded me to sit in the car.
Who is the stranger?
