I sat on Navya's bed listening to all of her complaints as I ghosted her when she needed me, a friend. I was taking in all that she had in her heart. She roamed throughout her room cursing me, scolding me and what not. I reached her home early this morning before she could go to college. I was in no mood to attend college today.
"Are you even listening to what I am saying, Ms Murthy..!?" She looked furious as she stood with her hands on her hips and her nose clenched due to anger. She was looking like a mother and I like a toddler.
"Of course I am listening to all of your accusations..!" I said sounding hurt.
"Don't try acting cute. You did something terrible. We were supposed to enjoy the night." At the end she sat on the bed with a deep sigh. I jumped upon her embracing her in a tight convincing hug.
"I am sorry for the thousandth time." I said making a puppy face melting her insides like always.
"I hate you for being this cute." She cried hugging me back and I giggled shoving away a few tears pooling in my eyes.
So much had been going on in my life and I said nothing to both of my best friends. I felt horrible gulping down everything alone. For the first time it happened that I didn't share anything with her or Sid and it made me feel like I had been alone since forever.
"Lets go. We are getting late." She said getting up and pulling me along.
"I am in no mood for college." I said.
"No way I am leaving you behind. And today everyone will be looking only at me while I will walk through the corridors of Space. After all I am the winner." She said flipping her hair having a proud smile on her face. I felt myself as the winner on seeing that she got what she deserved.
"Now don't be a spoiler and get up." She said leaving no room for me to deny. I was not at all ready for college. I was wearing a royal blue trousers and shirt with no makeup at all as I only thought of coming to Navya's place. I grabbed my coat as she dragged me downstairs.
I will have to witness now another friend who is angry despite my explanations for leaving early and without him. Thank God Mr Malhotra did not tell him about how he dropped me or how I shouted at him or else I would have had to lie a lot.
We reached college taking the usual bus and route. I entered and as expected everyone congratulated Navya and she turned out to be quite famous. I was very happy for her. I was moving with Navya when someone spun me and I balanced myself to not fall and make a joke out of my self.
What the hell..!?
I turned to find Sidharth looking at me with his ever so dangerous look reminding me of his brother at once.
Stopping thinking about that jerk.
My mind retorded and I gulped as I realized what I will have to listen. I heard Navya wishing me luck and moving away leaving me with him alone.
"We need to talk. " He said and it was not a request. It was an order. And I had to follow it at all cost.

I was sitting in the canteen after making my friend realize how suddenly I remembered that house keys were left with me and mama had reached earlier yesterday or else he would not have bought my fever or headache excuses at all. I was sipping on my coffee when everyone gasped and turned their heads towards the entrance. I too looked at he entrance and just like them I was shocked. There stood a furious Veebha with a cut on her head covered with a bandaid. What shocked everyone was her anger and how our principle and other senior teachers accompanied her.
