Power Of Blood: Darkness Never Leaves 33 Coward

Shivam looked out the window and then back at Dhira.

"That's the new brothers that took admission here."

"Oh" she said looking indifferent.

How could she not know them? Shivam thought. They were the hottest topic in the entire college. And he meant literally -The HOTTEST Topic!!! Could she stop being so ignorant to the outside world for once. All she ever had in her mind was work.

Visha opened the door and got into the backseat. Shivam instantly turned around and almost scared her.

"So how do you know the new hotties?"

Visha was glad atleast someone was in the same boat as her. Dhira was so oblivious to the guys in college. She could never discuss these things with her. She had finally found someone to share with.

"I fell on one of them." she answered excitedly.

"Fell?" Dhira turned around to look at Visha. She looked at her the same way her mother looked at Visha whenever she came back with a band aid on.

"Relax. I'm not hurt anywhere. Because he checked." she let out a shriek as she hugged Shivam out of excitement.

"How did you fall?" Dhira asked interrupting them. She wanted to get to the root of this. And she hoped for the sake of 'some' people's lives, that it was just an accident. Or else...

"I don't really know. It felt like someone pushed me. But when I looked back, there was no one." Visha shrugged her shoulders and continued to talk about Yash with Shivam.

Dhira grit her teeth as she continued to drive. She had a rough idea about who it could have been. These b*tches were getting way out of hand. She didn't want to meddle before because she wanted Visha to learn grasping others' intentions on her own. But now she couldn't just wait for Visha to get seriously hurt. They had stepped way over Dhira's bottom line. And they'll pay for it. She knew that they thought of Visha as a coward, but Dhira knew she was just stupidly trusting. Did they think that they could easily bully Visha with her around?

n.o.body bullies her Puppy, but her.

Priya calmed herself down and called Divya. She told her to come over as she narrated the entire incident on the phone. Divya was shocked to hear that she had pushed Visha off the stairs and rushed to see her. Just how impulsive could she be? She knew that Priya hated her but to attack her like that still came as a shock. This girl could get them both in trouble. She thought. If someone finds out about this, they will definitely be expelled and might even end up behind bars.

"Did anyone see you?" she somehow managed to speak up. Her tone was low and tensed. Her voice clearly contained fear.

"There was no one around. I checked." Priya a.s.sured her.

Divya finally took a breath of relief. She had been very anxious and told Priya they should go back and check. Both of them went to the stairs and saw that there was no one. And there wasn't any blood either. They a.s.sumed that maybe Visha wasn't gravely injured and someone must have helped her. But it had only been a few minutes. If someone was nearby to help her immediately, could they have seen Priya too? Panick struck Divya like thunder. She didn't want to go to prison just because Priya was stupid.

"You're sure there was no one?" she yelled.

"I didn't see anyone. And I didn't really get a chance to loiter around after I pushed her." Priya snarled at her.

And Divya was taken aback by her sarcastic tone. How dare she talk to her like that after she put them in this place. She was the one who acted rashly.

"You are on your own if you get caught." Divya warned. She did not want to go down with her. This was her fault and she alone should bear the consequences.

Priya sneered at her cowardice. They were supposed to be partners in this. But as soon as Divya saw a little bit of trouble, she backed off. She still needed Divya as she had a lot of influence in the college being related to Dhira. But in her heart, she understood that she could not rely on this coward in future.
