PARTY

Here's the continuation:

I stood in front of the mirror, fidgeting with the straps of my black satin dress. The deep neckline made me blush, exposing a hint of cleavage I wasn't used to showing.

"Mom, I don't know about this," I said, feeling self-conscious.

Mom smiled reassuringly. "You look stunning, beta. It's perfect for the party."

Riya chimed in, "Come on, Disha! You have to wear it. You'll be the center of attention."

I hesitated, but they wouldn't budge. This was my first time wearing a dress like this, and I felt vulnerable.

"Okay, fine," I relented, taking a deep breath.

As I slipped on my heels, Mom helped me adjust the dress. Riya curled my hair and applied light makeup.

When we finished, I gazed at my reflection, barely recognizing myself. The dress transformed me into a sophisticated, glamorous version of myself.

Riya beamed. "Wow, Disha! You're going to rock this party!"

Mom hugged me. "My little girl's growing up."

I blushed, still adjusting to the unfamiliar dress. But with Riya and Mom's encouragement, I felt a surge of confidence.

As we left for the party, I whispered to Riya, "What if I trip or something?"

Riya grinned mischievously. "Don't worry, I've got your back".

Riya and I stepped into the school, now transformed into a vibrant party venue. The pulsating music and twinkling lights immediately captivated us.

The party was in full swing, with students laughing, dancing, and mingling. Everyone looked stunning, radiating wealth and happiness.

At first, I felt intimidated, but the infectious energy soon put me at ease. Riya grabbed my hand, pulling me into the whirlwind.

"Let's dance!" she shouted over the music.

We merged with the crowd, lost in the rhythm and colors. I spotted Arjun and Hardik across the room, looking dashing in their tailored suits.

Arjun's eyes met mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of surprise, even admiration. Hardik's gaze lingered, too, but I couldn't decipher his expression.

Riya spun me around, breaking the spell. "Isn't this amazing?"

I grinned, feeling carefree. "Totally!"

As we danced, I let go of my insecurities, embracing the night's magic.

But little did I know, beneath the glamour and joy, secrets and tensions simmered, waiting to surface.

The night had only just begun, and already, it promised to be unforgettable.

After several energetic songs, I needed a break. The crowded dance floor felt suffocating, and my skin glistened with sweat.

"Riya, I need some air," I shouted over the music.

Riya nodded, concern etched on her face. "You okay?"

I nodded. "Just need to freshen up."

I stepped off the dance floor, and I made my way to the washrooms. The cool breeze from the air conditioner enveloped me, providing instant relief.

Inside the washroom, I splashed water on my face, feeling revitalized. I took a moment to reapply my lip gloss and smooth my hair.

As I exited the washroom, I noticed a quiet corridor nearby, dimly lit and peaceful. The music and laughter from the party seemed distant.

I decided to take a short stroll, enjoying the temporary solitude.

As I strolled through the corridor, the soft music and laughter from the party fading into the distance, I noticed a classroom with lights on. Curiosity got the better of me, and I wondered who could be inside, seeking refuge from the chaos like I was.

I pushed open the door, my eyes scanning the room. Arjun sat on a bench, his back against the wall, with a small bag of white powder on the desk beside him. My heart skipped a beat.

What was Arjun doing?

I froze, unsure whether to enter or retreat. Arjun's eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

"Disha," he said, his voice low and husky, sending a tremble through my veins.

I should leave, but my feet seemed rooted, as if transfixed by the intensity of his gaze.

"What are you doing here?" Arjun asked, his gaze piercing, like he could see right through me.

I tried to sound calm, but my voice trembled. "I was just passing by."

Arjun stood up, his movements fluid and deliberate, like a predator stalking its prey. He walked towards me, his eyes never leaving mine.

My heart pounded, threatening to burst out of my chest. I tried to step back, but my feet felt heavy, as if anchored to the spot.

"Arjun, I should go," I whispered, my voice barely audible.

But he kept coming, his eyes burning with intensity, a mixture of desire and danger that scared me.

He took my hand, pulling me inside, and I felt a jolt of electricity at his touch.

I tried to wriggle free, but his grip tightened, his fingers wrapping around my wrist like a vice.

"Let me go!" I demanded, trying to sound firm but failing miserably.

Arjun's eyes gleamed with amusement, and he leaned in, his breath hot against my ear.

"Not until you understand something," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine.

His hand on my waist sent tremors through my body. I struggled to free myself, but he pinned me against the desk, his body pressed against mine.

"Arjun, stop!" I pleaded, my voice trembling.

His grip on my thigh tightened, his fingers tracing the edge of my dress, sending unwanted sparks through my body.

Fear and revulsion wrestled with unwanted attraction, leaving me breathless and confused.

"Arjun, please," I whispered.

Here's the continuation:

Arjun's warm breath sent shivers down my spine as he whispered, "You know what you did? You just made the biggest mistake of your life."

His hand rubbed my thigh, sending a wave of disgust and embarrassment through me. I felt trapped, unable to move.

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, and for the first time in my life, I felt truly vulnerable.

"Please," I begged, my voice trembling. "I won't say anything to anyone. Just leave me alone."

A tear escaped, rolling down my cheek as Arjun's grip on my thigh tightened.

"Leave?" Arjun repeated, his voice dripping with menace. "You think it's that easy?"

His hand slid higher, and I felt a surge of fear.

"Arjun, stop!" I pleaded, trying to push him away.

But he was too strong, his fingers digging into my skin.

"You need to learn a lesson," he whispered, his lips grazing my ear.

I shuddered, feeling a mix of revulsion and fear.

"Please," I whispered again, tears streaming down my face.

Arjun's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze piercing.

"I'll let you go," he said finally, his voice dripping with condescension. "But remember, you owe me now."

He released me, and I stumbled back, gasping for air.

As I turned to flee, Arjun's voice stopped me.

"And, Disha?"

I turned, my heart racing.

"Keep this little secret to yourself."

His smile sent chills down my spine.

I nodded, tears blurring my vision.

And with that, I escaped, leaving behind a piece of myself in that classroom...
