Part 26
That evening after school left, everyone who were invited by Shreya for her birthday party went home quickly and started getting ready because Shreya's parties were one of the best anyone gave in their school and everyone wanted to appear "Cool And Happening"
Ravi also went home and as he had read in books "Everyone wore a suit and was neatly dressed for parties"
So Ravi just took out the best suit he had and got dressed in it and was getting ready to leave as the clock was about to strike 6 P.M. On the other side Shreya was anxiously waiting for Ravi to come as she had a lot of things in mind for him. As the hours hand of the clock was getting near to 6 P.M she was getting more and more impatient. The clock struck 6 and 5 minutes had passed but still no sign of Ravi. Then suddenly the door bell rang.
The sudden sound made her jump but she quickly went and opened the door. There he was with his shabby hair covering his forehead wearing a very costly suit in which he looked uncomfortable. That was the first time Ravi saw Shreya in a dress other than the school uniform and he felt that she was what teenage boys would describe as being pretty.
She wore a chic outfit holding her pet cat "Breezy" in her arms she opened the door and looked him into his eyes and just said "You are late"
. Then she had one look at his dress and said,"How old do you think I am going to become???"
. Then she had one look at his dress and said,"How old do you think I am going to become???" Ravi just scratched his head and said,"Umm maybe 16."
"Yes right and this is a party for teenagers and you look like you have come for a boardroom meeting except for the hair though."
Ravi said,"But I thought how people dressed for parties."
"Well Ravi people dress that way for very formal parties not for a teenager's birthday anyway come on in." said Shreya.
Then Ravi went inside and was a little surprised to find none of their classmates there. He said the same thing to Shreya and she said that they were all going to be a little late as they went to buy a surprise gift for her and then she smiled and said,"I know I am going to get a surprise just don't know what its going to be."
Then she said to Ravi,"Hey you promised to teach me hope to make Paper Planes the way you make them."
Then Ravi taught her to make paper planes though he was not really interested in doing so. The only reason Agent Scar had to come to the party was because of his subject "Pooja" who being Shreya's best friend would also come. Then after the plane making session was over. Shreya went inside the kitchen and brought Ravi a piece of cake which was not her birthday cake. Then Ravi asked her where her parents were and she said that they had gone out to do some last moment shopping.
Then Shreya asked Ravi to come to her room. As soon as Ravi entered the room he was a little surprised by seeing the dominant pink color used in the room and most of the decor of the room was that of the Hello Kitty kind 
and he just said to her,"Shreya you seem to like cats a lot."
and he just said to her,"Shreya you seem to like cats a lot." "Yes since my childhood I have grown up in the company of cats."
Then Ravi sat down and ate the cake he was given. Agent Scar felt that it tasted "sweet" and sweet meant good. Then she took the plate and put it away. She turned on the music player and some romantic instrumental music CD was playing in the background. Shreya then asked Ravi if he would tell her how her new perfume smelt. As if Ravi had a choice he said yes. Then she went near the dressing table and on the table there was a perfume bottle labeled "Black Rose"
She sprayed a little of it on the back side of her palm and instantly the room was filled with strong intoxicating fragrance of The Black Rose. Ravi took a sniff in the air and his eyes widened. It was the same fragrance that lingered around all those Secret Admirer cards he had been getting over the past one week.

It was the same fragrance that lingered around all those Secret Admirer cards he had been getting over the past one week. Then before he could say something Shreya put her hand over his lips and said,"Don't say anything just listen." then she continued "I have been thinking about you a lot lately, I am not like all the other girls I can't hide my feelings for you and expect that you understand how I feel about you by my talk and all that crap."
Then she pushed Ravi to the wall and went really close to him, the light switch was beside him and she put her hand beside him and dimmed down the lights. Dimly lit Room, Instrumental music playing the background, fragrance of the Black Rose it was the perfect setting for a Romantic scene to happen.
Then she came close to Ravi and whispered in her dreamy voice,"Ravi I love you and want to be with you forever and ever."
Such emotions were embarrassing even for someone like Agent Scar. They were like that for what seemed to be a few minutes for Ravi and was in reality only a few seconds. He felt she was a good looking girl,rich and most importantly she loved the boy, any other teen would have said yes and anyone would've guessed what might happen after that but he was not any ordinary teenager and he quickly brightened the lights in the room and said,"Sorry Shreya but I don't like you."

She was totally taken aback by the outcome of events which she had never expected. Then Ravi asked her if she was his mystery admirer and she nodded her head as if affirming. She became really depressed and thought all this to be a bad nightmare and that it should quickly but it wasn't.
For the first time in her life she actually proposed to a boy and he rejected her, that was too much for someone like Shreya who always had the habit of getting things done in her way since childhood.
She had never tasted rejection before. Then she said in a low muffled voice controlling her tears,"Why?"
Agent Scar had no concern for the emotions of some human girl and said,"Why should I?"
Then Shreya looked into Ravi's eyes and looking at her misty eyes anyone would've said sorry but Agent Scar looked away and she continued,"Then what about all those long flirty chat sessions."
Ravi was now really confused and asked,"What chat sessions are you talking about?"
Shreya was still thinking Ravi was trying to make her cry and wanted her to beg him but he was serious he knew what he was saying and said,"Shreya I really don't understand what are you talking about."
Then Shreya rushed to her bedside drawer and removed a few papers from that and pushed them into Ravi's hand. Ravi glanced through them and found that they were the printouts of chat sessions. The tone of most of the chat sessions were very romantic and personal.
Agent Scar's Assassin mind was quickly processing the facts and making inferences in record time.
Then Shreya asked Ravi,"Why are you doing this to me Ravi after all such long talks I have been waiting for you since two months from the day you told me that you were going to be transferred to my school and that you had a crush on me."
Agent Scar just needed to know one thing and he asked a very basic question,"Did you see me anytime before I came to school."
Shreya said no and thats all that Agent Scar needed to know.
Then he said,"Shreya, sorry to disappoint you but thats not the id I am currently using, that is my old hacked account, you must have chatted with some hacker all this while."
Then Agent Scar completely understood the scene - "There must have been a real boy with the name Ravi Teja who was an orphan in a foreign country and that he must have been transferred here and that she must have met him through some social networking websites which were making the world a global village and to put Agent Scar in Ravi's place the King's men must have bumped him off sometime before approaching Agent Scar." Hacking was very common and that he used to his advantage.
"No you are lying,just pretending that you don't know me.",said Shreya now tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Ravi said seriously,"Shreya I have never seen you before I came here and I never thought about you anything more than just a girl in my class thats all." Shreya was now crying bitterly 
She was still adamant to let go of him and tried one last resort Shreya said,"Ohh OK Ravi leave the past but now why don't you start thinking about me?"
She was still adamant to let go of him and tried one last resort Shreya said,"Ohh OK Ravi leave the past but now why don't you start thinking about me?" Ravi never thought that a girl like Shreya so tom-boyish and care free attitude could go to such extents for a guy, then he knew that he had to end this once and for all and just like in the movies he used the ultimate dialogue ,"Shreya to be frank I don't have any kind of feelings for you."
That was it and that was the limit for Shreya's patience. She stood up was trying hard to hold back her tears in which she was unsuccessful said in an angry voice,"Ravi it's your bad luck you are missing someone like me."
Ravi was getting laugh but controlled it and said in a serious tone,"Forgot to give you this Shreya." and he removed a small box and kept it on a nearby table and finally said,"Happy Birthday." and left.
As he was leaving he met Pooja near the door way and just went away without saying anything to her but looking at the expression on Ravi's face Pooja rushed into Shreya's Room and found her crying bitterly. Then on seeing Pooja, Shreya hugged her tightly and started crying even louder. Pooja anxiously asked what had happened and did that Ravi hurt her. Shreya wiped her tears and narrated that entire incident to Pooja and Pooja just did not know what to say so she said,"Take him lite who cares about him , if you ask me I think he looks a little weird, I promise you we are going to find a much better boy friend for you."
Pooja knew all that she was saying was childish crap but at that moment that seemed the most appropriate words.
Then Shreya asked slowly ,"Do you think I am going to get someone better than him."
Pooja was glad that her plan was working and said ,"Yes I am 100% sure about that."
Then Shreya hugged Pooja happily and said,"Pooja you are the best friend a girl could ever have." 
Pooja was just happy that she could make her best friend smile again. They spent the rest of the evening finding all the flaws in Ravi which made Shreya feel much better. Then after sometime her birthday party started and she slowly forgot the ache in her heart but once the party ended she remembered all the incidents that had happened in the evening and felt a little depressed again but drifted to a dreamless sleep.
