"What the hell is this", I said as soon as I finished reading the paper Kelly handed me.

"Oh! come on do I still have to explain. But seriously girl for the first time I have seen you drooling over a guy. I mean I agree the guy was super hot but still, you already had ignored so many hot guys then what's so special about him", Kell started with her lecture making me blush. She was right, a few numbers of boys had asked me out earlier and some of them were hot but I was not ready for a relationship. (so you are not going to admit that you were waiting for your prince charming) my subconscious said, smirking at me.

"I wasn't drooling over him, I was just looking at him cause he helped us", I lied but failed miserably because Kelly was true. I really found that boy handsome. I mean who would not? He was beyond perfect, and those grey eyes were choco chips on the cake.

"Is that so, then tell me who slapped you?".Kell asked, making me frown.

"what? no one slapped me why are you asking so" I replied in an annoyed tone.

"Nothing, it's just that your cheeks are red even redder than my nail paint", she said showing me her nails painted in hot red colour. Which did nothing but made me blush harder. I somehow composed myself and asked her, "First tell me how did you find out about this guy? What's his name, ya Arthur". I tried to act as if I forgot his name but it was already engraved in my mind.

My question was valid. right now we are driving back home in Kell's car. The day was boring ( of course, except for the morning event). All what happened was teachers introducing them and their subjects. During the break Kell excused herself and left me alone in the class. I was not hungry so I just went to the washroom returned to the class and ate the apple that I managed to carry with me while arguing with mom earlier. I can't guess just in half an hour, during the time Kell was away from me how did she manage to collect information about him?

"You remember Seth?", she asked me, to which I shook my head.

"That blonde one from the group, earlier today morning, the hot one with blue eyes, who asked us to call him Master or Daddy, the one wearing the black shirt, the....."

"Ok stop I remember him just tell me what about him", I yelled when I thought she was not going to stop.

"Actually he secretly called me to meet him during the break so I went with him", she said guiltily.

"so you dumped me for him", I said, pouting.

"Sorry", she pleaded.

"ok, ok now tell me what did you two do", I asked her, wiggling my eyebrows at her.

"He asked me whether I can go for lunch with him on Saturday", Kell said, blushing.

"So what did you say", when I asked this, her blush was replaced

with a smirk.

"I said that I will come only when he tells me about Arthur, at first he said no cause he thought I was interested in Arthur but when I assured him that it is YOU who liked him, then he told me this", she said giving extra attention to the word 'you' and pointing towards the paper.

"Who told you I like him?", I asked innocently on which she just raised her eyebrows and looked at me. "Ok, I liked him but this was unnecessary, and I can't come to a conclusion just because of his looks besides he is too arrogant for my liking." To my surprise, she did not question further, just parked her car near my home and we both exited the car and went towards my home.

When I was in I saw my dad sitting on the sofa, his eyes fixed towards the television screen. It was unusual for my dad to come home this early. Dad owns a small hardware shop near our house so he always leaves early and returns late. My dad is the bestest dad. My mom is usually the strict one and my dad never gets angry at us. He only got angry once on me when I went shopping with Kell's without informing them and they were searching for us for hours. At that time my dad punished me for a complete month. I was crying and begging him to stop but he was behaving like a monster. He showed no mercy towards me and gave all my chocolates to Ethan. Yes, this was his weird way of punishing. When Ethan or I did something wrong then he won't allow Ethan to watch TV for a month and won't give me chocolates for a month. I shivered at the memory of not having chocolates for a month.

"Hey, dad!", I exclaimed, hugging him from behind.

"Hey princess", he kissed me on my right cheek. "How was your day sweetie".

"Good dad, and a bit boring", I replied in a bored tone.

"Hello, Mr.Krail", Kell said, bringing his attention towards her. My dad treated Kell like his own daughter and they both being playful sometimes made a great team when it came to teasing me.

"Hello sweetie", dad said, hugging her and kissing her cheek.

"How was your day," He asked Kell.

"Oh, mine was quite interesting. You know anything I do is never boring", She said with a wide grin on her face.

"Oh sweety you two know each other since your childhood, you should learn from her how to have fun", the same old taunt of his. I just ignored his comments.

"But Ashley was checking out a guy in our college. She was not able to take her eyes off him until I called her", Kell said.

"WHAT?", My dad had a shocked expression on his face just when I thought he was going to get angry at me, his eyes softened and were shining as if Kell was saying that she was giving him a hundred chocolate bars for free. He was now grinning like an idiot. Is he really my father?
