To be Young and in Love!

Is that it?

I went inside but my eyes were blurry. That was the last thing I wanted to see at this time. I looked at Sakshi and Aarav and asked them whether they were watching the same thing. They both nodded. Tears ran across my cheeks when I saw the girl of dreams kneeling in front of another guy holding a rose.

I rubbed my eyes, I couldn't believe what was happening. A part of me wanted to run towards her and stop it but another part of me wants to just go away from that scene. I chose to stay and watch. But Aarav and Sakshi were pulling me to come outside. 

"Hey, You don't need to see this. You better get going, I will figure what is going on." Aarav told while holding my shoulders. 
"Yea, We will figure it out, please just leave. We will meet you in the class."
I turned behind, eyes red from all the tears that refused to fall down and ears red due to me being in rage. Now all I wanted to do was kick that guy.

I went out. I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to go someplace calm. But she was my calmness. She was what I needed the most right now. And it's too late. I might have lost her. 

With thoughts in my mind, tears in my eyes and anger in me, I went to the library. I just sat for quite some time. I wrote a poem, Which I never thought she would be the reason behind. After I finished, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Sanjana. 

"I am sorry. You had to see that. Maybe she moved on because you weren't taking any action." She shrugged. 

As soon as she finished her sentence, I heard a slap. I looked up when I saw Sakshi and Aarav. Sakshi had slapped Sanjana. I got up from my place and started walking out. It was still very hard for me to believe what I had seen. I was even more terrified to speak or face Isha. 

"Where are you going off to? It's not over yet. You still might have a chance." Aarav spoke while they both followed me.
"Yeah. Why are you giving up this soon?" Sakshi also joined him.
They were shouting about me giving up all the way from the library to the auditorium entrance. 

They stopped me from going in, because they knew I might make a huge scene. I went and sat in the cafeteria. They bought me milkshake but I refused to have it. 

"Chill out now, she might be rehearsing for her skit or something." Aarav stated.
"She is in dance not skit." I said while fiddling with the paper I had in my hand. It was the paper I had written the poem in. A sad one. Maybe. 

"Is this one of you guys's plans? If yes it ain't funny. Drop it off." I said when I remembered their plan.
"I wish this was the plan. But unfortunately it isn't." Sakshi said with a hand on my shoulder.
I nodded and bent my head down, looking at the crumbled piece of paper.

"Listen, It's enough now. You should just go talk with her about what di-" 
The voice faded away when I saw Isha coming out of the auditorium. With a smile on her face and the guy behind her holding each other's hands. I had tears in my eyes again. I didn't wanted to cry. I had no reason to cry. This wasn't supposed to end this soon. 

I quickly came out of my subconsciousness when Sakshi shook me and said "Talk to her, she is coming this side." 

My heart was racing as if I was in a F1 race track. My palms were wet and so was the paper. But in this chaos, my heart was calm. Maybe I was very much in love. But as soon as she came a bit more closer to the table I was sitting on, I got up and left from that place. 

Sakshi and Aarav decided to talk to her, but I signaled a no. I don't think they would listen to me. I went back to my class and sat. I decided to write the poem in my book, but I realized I had lost it on the way here. I wanted to go back but I was afraid. I was afraid that I would come across her. Also, what would I tell her? 'Okay, now that you like someone else, I started liking you?' 
Possibly not. So I just stayed there. Alone in the classroom with only the winds from the window accompanying me. I fell asleep.

ISHA'S POV:

My practice had just finished, and I couldn't find my friends. I saw Sakshi and Aarav near the cafeteria. I went near them to have a little chat.

"Heyya!" I said with a waving hand.
They ignored me. "Hello Sakshi?" I called out her name.
She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
"What is wrong with you. Would you guys care to tell me?" No answer again.
"Did you guys fight?" They looked at each other and held hands. Thankfully they weren't fighting with each other. But what was wrong with them?
"Where is Tara? I didn't see her since then. Did you guys see her?" I asked

~SILENCE~

"What is with the silence? Don't you guys make me angry. Alright?" I shouted with frustration.
"Angry? We are making you angry? You are the one who made us angry and her upset." Sakshi spoke. Her anger clearly heard in her voice. 
"May I know what did I do that made you angry? And why would Tara be upset?" I was pretty confused by then.
"Don't act as if you don't know anything. You know what you did. You will be the reason for Tara crying." Sakshi blurted out.
I was confused and angry on Sakshi for the words she had just said. What did she mean by that? Why would I want to make her cry? 

"Listen. I never thought to make her cry or be upset because of god knows what reason. Will you at least tell me what happened?" I asked looking at Aarav. 
"You love someone else right? You gave up on her right? Why do you care about her and her feelings?" He spoke in a low voice.
"Wait. I love her and only her. And, I didn't give up on her. Not yet. And certainly not anytime soon. Are you guys gone nuts?" I shouted on them.
"If you still love her, why would you propose someone else? We saw it. You proposed some other guy in the auditorium. Why would you do this to her? We thought you genuinely loved her. That is why we were ready to help you. You broke our trust too." Sakshi said while Aarav nodded.

~Oh my goodness. What a messed up misunderstanding.~

"Guys. There is a huge misunderstanding. I didn't propose him because I love him. He is my senior. They came to the auditorium and were watching us all. After few minutes they wanted us to do few dares. So he gave me a dare to propose him. And I did. That is it." I assured them. 

"Then why did u hold his hand and come out of the auditorium? What was that?" Sakshi asked.
"He is a friend of my elder brother. He was just joking around with me. So, while coming out of the auditorium, he was just apologizing me for that. So, I just smiled and told it was okay." I said.

They both looked at each other and started smiling. 
"We are really very sorry Isha. We were just furious when we looked at the scene."
"It's okay. Stop smiling and help me find Tara." I shouted at them.

TARA'S POV:

I woke up with a ring on my phone. It was Sakshi. I was not in a position to speak to her. So, I cut the call. After quite some time she came into the class and called me to the cafeteria. She was forcing me to come downstairs. She pulled my arm when I let go of her and said:
"I don't wanna see what she is doing with that guy. The girl I love knelled in front of someone else and I am not ready to digest it yet. I love her and it's the fact. And I am again left alone. I guess that is it." I shouted with my voice cracking with every word I say.
