This happened 14 yeas ago when i was 12 years old.I was from middle-class family living in a small dirty,noisy flat.My next door neighbour was B---.When we had moved to the flat when i was four.I had no intention of talking to a girl with uncombed hair,unwashed face and dirty nostrils.But one day while i was playing with my ball it hit B---.She hit me and i hit back then we started laughing and some how became best friends.In our time there was case of rape,girl trafficking,drug addict and all that dangerous stuff.My grandma told me to be very careful about strangers especially when going to school.Our school was across a long road and we had to walk cautionsly to avoid car accidents.One day B--- and her mum had a big fight when her mum found out she wasnt wearing underwear to school.Our school was bad.The boys kept coming to the girls toilets purposely ,they also showed nude videos and pictures of women and men through their mobile phones(even though we werent allowed mobiles at school)and asked us if we would like to do the same if we were given money.B--- agreed but i didnt.B--- showed her bum to the boys at break and they would give her ten rupees each day for it.And when her mum found out she said B--- was banned any toys,sweets and proper food for a month or two.She was hit by her mum and sent off to school with me without any food.As we walked she sweared at her mum'That b***h! what does she think herself?After all i was raising money so easily so that we could pay the rent!And now instead of a thank you she sends me off without food! I hate that b***h'I scolded her for swearing like that and told her it was for her own good.Suddenly a scruffy man came and smiled at us.He was wearing a vest and grey shorts,his knees were bruised and dirty and he didnt have a tooth.'What is this B---?Your mum is a b***h!Well well come with me i will give you good food.'I finally realized he was listening to our conversation from the back!I pulled B--- but the man pushed me away and said'Now dont be afraid! i am like an uncle! i will feed you good food whatever you ask'B--- pulled me as we tagged along through the road.I didnt eat any of the food.B--- ate eagarly.'We thank you for yor kindness now come along B--- we are alrady late....'i said but the man cut me off.He's smile disappeared and he dragged B--- with him.I screamed and bit his arm.Instead he hit me and dragged me too.I told the resturant owners to help but they just laughed.It seemed the man had paid them not to tell anyone or do anything.We were taken into a flat and there were several other men.I kicked and screamed but B--- was too paralysed to do anything.They put me on a chair next to a mobile while they started touching B---.I looked at the phone.No one was looking so i dialled 100.I was phoning the police.This time B--- was screaming as the men took of her clothes.I finally whispered as the phone was answered.'We are inside a room in a flat in a big orange house near A--- bakery.Yes hurry please' i said shaking.I kept quiet .The house was next to the road so it would be quite easy for the police to find us.2o minutes later when i was defending B--- someone busted in .YES!! the police.15 minutes later the men were aressted and we were driven home.B--- was quite ill and recovered only after two weeks.B---'s mother was extremely angry with her later on.The police said we would be on the news but we didnt.No matter atleast we were safe.
