Chapter 1: Introduction

Hey! I am Chhavi, Chhavi Sharma and I am 12 years old. Yes, I am a middle schooler. I love writing stories, listening to songs, and, doodling. Well, I am an Introvert. I have a family of 5 and honestly, my sister knows all of my secrets. I am good at studying and co-curricular activities too. I live in Delhi. I like K-Dramas, Anime, K-Pop, I have experienced loads of adventures in my life where my one decision could change my whole life. However, I learned something – of course not a moral lesson every time - from every event. Let me introduce my gang to you: -

Akshita – My bestie forever. She is tall and cute. She has leadership qualities in her and she helps me every time I am in trouble. She knows all of my secrets. However, she is always busy- I don't know what is she even busy with - with something or other. She calls me her Romeo and I call her my Juliet. We are always sharing our joy and sorrow.

Koustubh – Well, this is a guy whom I am scared of. I don't why I feel like he would just scream – which ne'er happened - on me. He likes K-Dramas, Anime, K-Pop, and all that stuff. He is good-looking – Well all the boys in my gang are good-looking – and shifted to Delhi from Mumbai in 4th class.

Shambhavi – She is the frankest Girl in our gang. She likes Koustubh a lot – a lot means a lot - but he never accepted her. She uses abusive language like it's just normal for her. She has a beautiful wolf cut and big eyes. She left our school in ......ummmm...... I don't remember.

Arush – This is the "FuNNy gUY" in our gang. He is freakin' hilarious. He is Koustubh's bestie and cares a lot for all of us. He likes watching anime and listening to songs. His favourite singer is Ed Sheeran. This guy likes my bestie, Akshita but I won't let him take her from me.

Aahan – This guy is my 2nd bestie. He is "The Roaster" in our group. He is fair with big eyes. He likes playing games. Well, he knows some – some means a lot but not all - of my secrets and I am pretty much frank with him. He likes playing Tennis. He is the only boy I have ever been frank to. We became good friends in just one day.

Trisha – Trisha LOVES K-Pop. She is the "Fan Girl" in our gang. She is Aahan's friend from 1st class. She is beautiful with big lips and a fair, round face. She used to play games but now she doesn't.

Bhavya – This is the guy who gets roasted. He likes K-Pop and plays games. He also plays Tennis and is Aahan's best friend. He is the most famous guy in our class because almost all the girls – literally ALL except some of them - of our class liked him.

SO THIS IS MY GANG OF WEIRDOS..........

Chapter 2: Who Is He?!?!?!

It all started 3 years ago. Well, 3 years 6 months ago to be exact. I'll never forget it because the day started normally. It was a hot, sunny day. We had a substitution with some ma'am – I never even saw that ma'am in our school. She was trying to maintain silence in the class but unfortunately, it was our class. Our class was called the most mischievous class on the floor. While ma'am was shouting and scolding us, children were standing on the bench flying paper aeroplanes, some were coming after half the class has passed, and our gang was playing Truth & Dare. It was Aahan's turn and he chose to dare. "I have got an idea!!!", I said "Go and tell ma'am that two children from our class are fighting in the ground". "You want me to get scolded, don't you?" said Aahan. "You should have thought of it before choosing dare", I said with a smirk. He sighed and walked towards ma'am helplessly. The teacher turned her face towards him. He said, "Ma'am two children of our class, Akshat and Naman are fighting in the ground!!!". "How do you know that?", asked ma'am. "I....Ummm.....they both are not here", he said. "How can you be sure that they are fighting downstairs?" enquired ma'am. He said, "Umm... I saw them when I was returning from the washroom". "When did you go to the washroom?", again asked ma'am. Aahan was very scared and annoyed too by the questions of ma'am. And we were laughing back there seeing him in that situation. After a long time, ma'am finally agreed to visit the ground. She went downstairs and searched for the two children but of course, no one was there.

The moment ma'am left; someone's phone rang. It was Trisha's phone. She got a message from an unknown number. She clicked to see the message and she was astonished to see it. Shambhavi noticed her first and came to check what had happened. Well, she was surprised too. We all came in to check the message and we all were startled to see it. Someone had sent her a picture of her sitting in her room from the window. She got scared and started messaging the unknown number. But before she could do it, ma'am entered the class and she had to keep the phone away.

Ma'am was angry and confused and called out Aahan's name. "Where are the two children?!?!?!", she asked him. "Aren't they in the ground?", he said acting to be naïve. "No, they are not. That's why I am asking you.", the teacher said. "Ummmm...", he hesitated and said, "I am sorry, I thought the two children fighting in the ground were of our class". The teacher looked frustrated by her expression. "Go back to your seat!!!", she scolded him. He came and sat beside us. Bhavya burst out laughing and said, "How many excuses did you even make to send her downstairs?". "Let your turn come then I'll tell you", Aahan said to him. Trisha was still thinking about the message.

It was time to go to our houses. We all headed off and Trisha went to the nearby store to buy something. She did her shopping and went home by 3 P.M. Around midnight 12, she received a message. She woke up and checked her phone drowsily. It was again that unknown number from before. This time she was shaken up. She got a pic of hers sleeping in her room from the window. She looked towards the window but saw nothing except the bright stars twinkling in the sky. She was scared. She immediately got up from her bed and closed the curtains. WHO EVEN IS THIS?!?!?!
