Falling For My Best Friend ✔

Chapter 04-Royal Benchers

It's Friday already...Time flies really fast on weekdays,but it doesn't do so when it comes to the weekends...Saturdays and Sundays,the days which I hate the most...After five days filled with lessons and assignments,a student like me would gladly welcome the weekend...Unfortunately,my choices always had to be different from theirs,not that I  dislike having such a break,but I already knew I won't be given such chances to have some rest and release all the stress which I'm going through the whole week... Whether it be a Monday or Sunday,it only mattered when I was packing my books for next days' classes.I still wish that I'd be able to go outside and enjoy the weekend with my friends...Well,again I don't have such ones though,but still  killing time with that  gang could make me feel somewhat better than staying at this place. With all these thoughts on my mind,I was walking towards the gate with these fellows who helped me to be cheerful though they knew nothing.Among many classmates who were really interested in building friendships with me for the sake of their family status,I had few friends who were quite close to me.We even shared the same bench in the class which made others give us the name,ROYAL BENCHERS.

To be particular,none of them knew  that  Mrs.Kim is my step-mom and I never tried to make others believe it.Along with the CEO position of dad,he was transferred to California,which made it obvious for sending me to the University of California,Berkeley for higher studies.It was stated to the media that I was kept away from the family since my childhood because of the family threats we received.So it all happened smoothly in the way dad wanted.That clearly showed the power he held being in that position of a well-known company in the country.

Coming back to Royal Benchers,we all came up from families which drew attention in the country,being the owners or managers from top business brands in the states.On the other hand,I felt grateful for having them beside me,else I won't be allowed to even spend an hour except the school hours with them.Zayn,who acted as the leader most of the times,had emerald eyes,which went well with his blond hair.Olivia,who I can refer as my best friend,had  blue sapphire eyes and  a curly hair which made it easy for anyone to find her in a crowd.It was always interesting to watch how Zayn and Olivia getting into fights,just to end up in each others arms.They've been dating for few months by now and listening to their stupid,yet funny arguments made our days much happy.Not to leave out the other pair of lovebirds,who were exactly they opposite of earlier mentioned.Amelia and Adam always had cheesy conversations filled with their so-called love and they could make up so easily after a little fight,just by saying that they are meant for each other,which was the reason of them both having the same initial "A" given by birth.They even shared the same brown wavy hair,as if their destiny was created for them to meet someday.

It all seemed great,until that one thought crossed the mind,destroying everything.My life always had one single negative thought to destroy every great thing happening around me.When it comes to friends,there was this fear of my trueself being revealed someday.Just this thought made it uncomfortable to hang around with these peeps because I didn't want to break their trust oneday,anyways I am not destined to have much free time on my hands in this life.However it was clear as crystal,that everyone who I have around me now would be gone if  the REAL ME was here instead.

Olivia:We'll do some shopping and meet by the coffee shop then.You both be there on time!!!

Zayn:It hasn't even been a month since you went shopping with me and bought that huge pile of clothes.

Olivia:Are you trying to say that you can't buy me some clothes for Sunday's part?What's the use of having a boyfriend who can't even make his girl happy by just buying a party dress?Should I really go and find a better guy?

Zayn:Calm down baby...Why should you find some other men,when you already have the best one here?C'mon,let's go.

Olivia:Ashley,don't try to skip this today too.Dude it's weekend and you gotta chill more!!!Don't dare to text me saying that you aren't able to come.If you did so,I swear,I'm gonna come to your place and drag your heavy butt out from that house of yours...Okay then,See you guys by 5 o'clock!

Amelia:Babe shall we go and try those new pair of matching suites which were newly arrived today?I really want to try it and I feel it's gonna be great on you...Ashley,remember to make it on time then,catch up with ya in the eve!!!

I replied them with an "I'll try",though I was certain that I'm not going to be able to make today too.I was rarely allowed to go out and spend time in a way I pleased and there was no doubt that this time even,step-mom's  not going to allow me to hang out with my friends unless there was a gain for their business deals.With all these going in my head,I headed into the car,which is daily sent to pick me up from school,not because they want to give me a comfortable ride,just because they want others to see it that way.
