Challenge Accepted

Chapter 5

Maaya Pov

In a split second, I realize that Amanda just hit me hard on my face and now I couldn’t hold my tears anymore. All of the sudden I felt the alone & scared person, I couldn’t understand why it always happened to me. I lost my parents at the age of 7, after them my uncle was the only one who was my guardian but later he turned into a monster. All the other students in my orphanage either beat me brutally or tease me. I used to have only one friend, he was so kind and always take care of me. When I left for Australia I promise him I will never tolerate persecution & fight for my rights. Here, on the other hand, my roommate slap me and I wasn’t able to defend myself, I guess its better if I able to sleep now. Although it’s difficult to sleep now still I will try my best.

Amanda Pov

My chest was boiling with anger if I stay here little more my mind will be exploded soon I take a deep breath and start my car and drive to my one friend house and once I reach there I drink a lot.

Next morning I come to college with swollen eyes due to the heavy dose of alcohol. Within few seconds Kate and Robin approach me and I gave them my best-faked smile ever, although they both are pretty much stalkers and annoyed me somehow I can use them to create trouble for Maaya.

After our bell rings for the class I gesture Kate and Robin to stop and without any question, they sit to next available chair with me. As I start telling my story about last night both of them look shocked and once Kate recovers she immediately said: “What can we do for you, Amanda”?

I need to take revenge from this girl no matter what create troubles for her I don’t want her to sleep so calmly let her suffer more and I want to see her cry every single day and that’s what I want it. We will do anything for you Amanda, whoever try to create trouble for you we will destroy that person Robin speaks loudly & I gesture him to calm down and speak calmly.

After Few Weeks

Maaya Pov

It’s been weeks since that incident happened and still, I am the one who is paying for that night. Amanda and her friends don’t miss any single chance to ruin my life every day, sometimes they broke into my workplace or sometimes they ruin my assignment, yesterday only they put red chili in my food & when I was coughing hard I saw wicked smile on Amanda. Now, whenever I enter in my room it gives me a feeling like I am entering in hell no matter how hard I try to be calm and ignore all these things they still do such things but what can I even do to her. She is the most popular girl in college everybody wants to be her friend and her friends follow and do anything for her. On the other hand, I wasn’t able to make single friend since no one wants to be an enemy with Amanda and somehow I think everybody knows the quarrel between Amanda and me. I take a deep breath and went to the library since it’s the safest part of college for now.

Amanda Pov

Every month Samuel, this guy from my college, would throw a huge party in his mansion. And each month that passed the party seemed to be bigger. All my friends were going to the party and I was beyond excited. At least I can have fun now since considering last few weeks I was only thinking about Maaya so that I can make her cry.

“Amanda, this dress is gorgeous, you look so beautiful!” Kate excitedly said and I rolled my eyes and kept curling my hairs.

She was a pain most of the time, she always pissed me off. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time and left for the party with Kate. “Let’s have a blast tonight, Kate screams loudly in the car”.

Once we reach there I could hear the music blasting outside and I grinned. As I walked towards the house all eyes turned to me as usual and I heard multiple of people calling my name for gaining some attention. I found Robin waiting for me like a puppy, it was always very weird but somehow I think Robin have a big crush on me that’s why he keeps stalking me. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of beer, I just wanted to have fun tonight nothing else.

After few bottles of beer I decide to drink tequila and as I swallow half of the bottle in one sip I started coughing hard. After sometime dizziness takes control of me. Before I realized I was dancing excitedly with some stranger and then I realized someone was tapping on my shoulder. When I turn to see it was Robin who pushes away the guy and takes me to my group and makes me sit on the table. Then I heard some people screaming behind me “Truth or Dare”. As I was far beyond from my boundaries I insist everyone join them. When people turned the bottle it points out to Robin & he chooses truth. “Robin, who do you hate most in the college?” Maaya because Amanda hates her a lot and so do I. Everyone laughed and start playing a game again, about 10 minutes bottle pointed out towards me and I choose dare, Robin asked me excitedly.

“Dare,” I said dryly.

“ I dare you to make Maaya fall in love with you and make her miserable once you break her heart.” You do hate her it’s your chance to make her cry, Robin smirk and I almost choke.

“What? Are you out of your mind? No way! I never touch that filthy girl and sleep with her, I shouted at him.

So should we all think you are scared of that girl, Robin smirk at me?

I was clearly drunk and still dizzy and couldn’t able to think straight. Well, I had slept with girls before but it was my choice, not a dare.

So you have to except that you are scared of that girl or either accept the challenge if you really do have guts. Robin said bluntly.

I frowned, clearly I was drunk and not able to think with straight mind and I smiled towards Robin
