The introduction to the heroes

All the characters, atleast most of them, are introduced here.Some of them are the penned personalities of my rea life friends.Others are imaginary, but real all the same.

Oops! Did I say the 'earth' came crashing down upon us? Actually, it was the 'sky' that came crashing down upon us.It started to rain!

But the earth crasheed down upon me nonetheless.

"Amber! Where the hell did you come from?",I asked her with a look of sheer astonishment on my face.

"Cool way of greeting your friend", she replied rolling her eyes.

Before I could say anything, the jock of the group, Arun, interrupted me.

"HEY! Let ME tell you all about it.", he started.

I guess it's one of my good qualities or maybe my short-coming that I rarely interrupt people and fully allow them to interrupt me, especially boys. I always tend to look deep into their eyes and concentrate on whatever they say. I think I sometimes creep them out. But I'm well on my way of becoming a good listener.

"Amber, our friend, is really clever.She proved her intelligence and her mischievious mind today by 'BUNKING' the whole day and then finally returning just fifteen minutes before the school gets over, to join her beloved friends", saying this he tightly hugged himself and we all couldn't help but laugh.

No one noticed the rain drops which splashed against our bodies sending cooling sensations throughout. It somehow, made everyone feel better.

"How did they even allow you inside?", I asked , suppressing my laughter as Arun was still busy making faces.

"A magician never reveals his secrets.", she replies with a smirk on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

"You mean 'her' secrets.", I corrected her.

"Oh! Will you stop that?", Natasha snapped."We already know that your english is damn good."

Natasha is the girl who's known for her dominating behaviour.Being new to the school, she stays quiet in the class-room. But once she's out with us, no one can stop her from jabbering continuously. Funny thing is that she always has something good and worthwhile to chat about. Her talks are all logical; her thoughts, all practical and her voice, damn too loud.

"I'm sorry.", I replied sheepishly.

"Hey! I was just joking.No need to apologise.", she replied smiling.

"Oh! Sorry.", I said again, rather boldly.

"Enough apologies for one day!", Dhruv announced, suddenly breaking his silence which had remained intact since we gathered here.

"Look! Who's finally awake.", Natasha said rolling her eyes.

(Is it just me or do my friends really 'roll their eyes way too much?)

"Anyway, what were you guys discussing about?", I finally screamed over all the commotion. All of them became quiet at once and started staring at me.

"A night-out or rather a break-in at school.", a voice came from the opposite corner of the group. It was Priya, one of the most studious and atheletic girl of the school.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?", came another voice which I identified as that of Akshat. A real cool and quiet guy.

"Well, the plan is that we'll break-in the school on the 23rd of this month, as the principle would be out of town, and spend the night in the darkness of the school. "we'll wander around and tell ghost stories.Oh! It's gonna be awesome!!" Dhruv said with a lot of excitement.

'One more decision taken without my say.', I said to myself.

[Mysteral - Night Prowle..]

A good recovery on the part of the author, remembering Amber was skipping school earlier in the day.
I do agree with you about holding eye contact with someone when they talk--can really freak them out. Like you are staring into their soul.
Couple of spelling errors I notice... crasheed...?
"...the jock of the group, Arun," I'm not saying that is a typo, but I wondered what you meant by "jock of the group"

(Is it just me or do my friends really 'roll their eyes way too much?) Rolling eyes, always makes me think of eyeballs falling out and rolling across the floor like marbles...LOL
I really enjoy reading your story, hope you'll let me know when you post the next installment.

Your heros are coming to life and revealing their very different personalities thanks to your good writing.
While the middle part could easily have become boring, it is not.

I rather enjoy the thought of all the mischief you guys can get into by following through on your plot.

Your final line is not so much of a puller to the next chapter as it is a description of Siya being slighlty peeved about another decision being made without her input. She was day dreaming and did not hear the discussion.

That being said, I do want to know how her day dreaming affects the group so it really is, a "quiet pull" towards the next chapter.

Well done.

Not at all boring ...
I did not expect the plot though!
Very interesting characters!

This isn't bad. I like how the characters feel alive. Good chapter!
