If He Likes Me?

10. Happy Ever After?

3 Months Later

My head resting over the table as my arms were folded. My only job for today was, being upset and angry and irritated, and every synonym of it.

The class was going on, subject after subject, teachers came and left. But I never left my role. Just lying on the table.

It belled thrice indicating, it's lunchtime. But my ears pretended to be deaf.

"Where is Rish? Does anyone know?"
The only thing which fell into my ear for the first time. But I ignored it.

Then someone tapped my back twice "Arisha do you know where is he?"

This is enough for today, I can't control it now!!
I stood up in outrage, "Dont say his stupid name in front of me, Saya!!" I yelled and the whole class turned towards me.

"What happened Arisha? Did I do something wrong? are you mad over me?" Saya asked in uncertainty

"No saya, no. I am hell sure, it's not because of you." Said Liya "tell us what happened between you two now"

"I just want to smack him on his face.!"

"Sit down Saya, I know it's gonna be a long story" exclaimed Liya pointing towards the chair.

I started telling them...

Flashback from last night

"Happy!! Happy!! happy!! happiest birthday Rish!!" I almost shouted in excitement while wishing him via phone call.

"Thank you Arisha! Thanks really, for calling and wishing me." He answered back and I could understand how happy he was.

"You know, I have prepared a special gift for you. I will give it to you tomorrow at school!!" I exclaimed

"Oh really? Thank you in advance...." He said but now his voice was a bit down from before.

And after it, there was a silence between us. He was saying nothing.

"Are you going to say anything or shall I just go to bed?" I asked him

"Umm...no! Don't hang up. I have something to say......

.......I won't be able to attend school tomorrow. I need to go bank with my dad because there is some issue with my account and things."

"Ok." I replied smiling " it's no big deal. I will come to see you in the afternoon."

"We can't meet in the afternoon also. The thing is I have invited my friends."

"Ohh...I can understand. Friends are also important..have fun with them."

"And we won't be able to meet in the evening also," he said and guilt was there.

And as for me, I didn't even want to ask why? I was done with it.

Then he said, "We can meet up at 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM, at the park near your house."
