Vedhant High School, Bee Ran [good books for high schoolers TXT] 📗

followed after it and splashed me. All the other students ran inside hiding for cover. I did not even notice everyone leave. My hair absorbed all of the water and I loved it. The rain washed away my emotions. I know I was not making the right decisions in life but every time it rained I felt like the slate was wiped clean and I was just as normal as everyone else. I heard a voice interrupt my thoughts.
I opened my eyes and looked around to see whose voice it was. It was a person dancing and singing in the rain. Before my eyes focused on whom it was, my mind had already figured out who it was. It was Trisha dancing and singing in the rain. Seeing this sight put a smile on my face. I felt warm inside. When I talked to her, I had the same feeling as if dancing in the rain. It was like a warm virus spreading in my heart. She was changing me and I knew it. I could not let my emotions get the best of me. I turned around and left the school property.
Gang War

There was a meeting that he wanted me to attend with him. It was to settle a dispute with another gang. I walked in with Hakesh behind me. The other gang was already there. There were only two chairs in the room. There was already a man sitting in one of the chairs. There were some men standing up with their arms crossed. They were not showing any expression on their faces. I sat down in the other chair. Hakesh had a surprised expression on his face. He leaned in towards my ear and said “That’s my chair. You are supposed to be standing up like the other henchmen.”
I turned my head and looked at him and whispered. “You’re talking too much these days. I think you forgot how badly I can injure you.” With that he stood up straight. They continued their conversation. There was a lot of talking about which territories who owned. Somehow the conversation shifted and started talking about henchmen.
“I want him.” said the other gang leader pointing at me. “We have a few scores to settle.” Hakesh looked at me confused. I knew exactly what he was talking about. “That’s cute. You think he is in charge me. We’ve had this discussion before. No one is in charge of me.” I told the other gangster. I gave a little stress on the last sentence to make my point clear.
“Hakesh, did you know he used to work for me? That’s why he beat you at the garage.” said the other gangster. What he said was true and I was not going to deny it. “Of course I did. And if you give me money, I will do it again. I will do the same for you if Hakesh pays me.” I replied sounding over confident. In a split second I took out gun and pointed it at the other gang leader. “How much would you give me?” I said grinning. I looked over at Hakesh and his eyes were wide open.
“You think you could threaten my leader and get away with it?” said one of the henchmen while coming to attack me. I turned the gun sideways and shot him. I saw the blood squirting out of the place I had hit him. With that everyone from the other team got up to hit me.
I saw a punch coming towards me so I move slightly back to dodge the hit and the person fell on the chair. I kicked the next guy who was running at me and he caused the other henchmen behind him to fall down. I went back to the guy who fell on the chair. I grabbed the end of his arm, put my knee on his elbow and pulled upwards. I felt his elbow break from the pressure and the guy started screaming in agony. The leader of the gang fled before he was caught up in it. I would have to deal with him later.
Hakesh went behind a table and shot a couple of the henchmen. I took out my gun and shot a couple of people and stood behind a wall. There were only three people left and my gun had run out of bullets. I had another gun with a bullet in my left pocket but I needed to save that for later. There was only one thing to do. I grabbed my gun and threw it at one of the henchman. The bottom of the gun got stuck in the henchman’s forehead. Two left and what to do. I did not know if they still had bullets. I had to take a chance. I jumped out, grabbed both of their heads and squeezed. Their heads popped like fireworks in July. Blood flew everywhere. It was quite beautiful sight. The walls were splattered with blood and looked like the abstract art I made in kindergarten.
I saw Hakesh come out from behind the table. “A, a, are they all dead?”
“Of course.” I replied will dialling a number on my cell phone. I called one of the other rowdies in the gang. “Hello.” I heard him say from the other side.
“Yes. It’s me. Everything is finished here but there is a problem. “In the collision Hakesh died.” Then I cut the phone and slid it in my pocket. I heard Hakesh stutter something. I lifted my gun and shot at his head. The last bit of emotion I saw in his eyes disappeared as his body landed on the floor with a thump.
I walked out of the building while smoking another cigar.

Love Lives On

Classes were going on but I could not stay in them. I could handle a ton of big guys wanting to fight but I could not handle thick textbooks making me study. I saw Trisha going to class. I decided to go talk to her.
I walked up to her and gave a little wave. She took a few steps closer to me a stopped. “Sorry do I know you?” She said.
“How could you forget me? Remember the name. Or the rain.” I replied trying to remind her of who I was. “Of course I remember you. You told me to forget everything so…” She started. “Oh. I get it. I was just saying it so you did not get mad at me.” I replied happily.
“Wanna walk with me? I’m going to the principal’s office to see my uncle.” She asked. “Ye. I’ll walk with you. So, why is your uncle here?” I asked trying to get a conversation going.
“He is just here to bring me lunch.” she replied.
“You’re that close to your uncle? What about your parents?” I asked.
They died many years ago in an accident. I saw tears running down her face. What had I done? How could I remind her of this? Out of all the possible conversations to have I choose this one. “Trisha, I am sorry I did not mean to remind you of them.” I said trying to console her. She replied “You can only remind when you have forgotten. I am always thinking about them.” She sounded so depressed at this point.
“Stop.” I said grabbing both her shoulders and turning towards me. “Close your eyes.” I said. “No. It’s…” She started but I interrupted her saying “No listen to me. Close your eyes.” This time she did as she was told. Picture your father in your mind. Would he be happy if you feel sad?” I asked. She shook her head. “Now picture your mother. Would she feel happy if you were sad?” She shook her head again.
She opened her eyes slowly. “Your parents will not be happy if you are sad. So why are you sad? When they pass away, only there body disappears. Their soul and love live on in here.” I said and pointed my finger at her heart. Then we continued walking. “My parents are also up there. I know they are watching over me too.” Then we got to the office. “Talk to you later.” I said happily. “No, come and meet my uncle. He would be glad to meet you.” she requested.
My phone started ringing. “Maybe another time. This might be important.” I smiled and started walking away. I answered my phone and put it near my ear. “What’s up?”
“Bro, Hakesh’s brothers are coming to the airport. Both of them are here to get Vardhan (the other gang leader) for killing Hakesh. We have a meeting in the afternoon so come by.” said my friend from the gang.
“Okay, see you then.” I replied and hung up the phone. They were finally coming. I could finally meet the great founders of the biggest gangs in the world.
