UNWANTED

CHAPTER 2

MESSAM

I was shocked that how come it was Harley talking to me in such a loud voice. There must be something but I don't wanna ask because she is such an introvert that it'll take almost a month for me to get to know where she was.

The bell rang and we headed back towards our homes. It is always a pleasure that I had to take Harley back to her apartment. It gave me some more minutes with her. As we were walking back I noticed her, she was very quiet and was deep in thought. Whenever she was like this I would never ask her about it because I knew it will make it sad. So instead of asking her about what she was thinking I said

"Ether was right you really should write a play for the dramatic competition"
She hummed in response and started unlocking her apartment. She lived alone as her biological parents and died and foster parents were in America.

"Would you like a drink" she asked while pointing in towards her kitchen.

"Obviously Harley pulling you on a cycle isn't that easy" I joked
"I never said you to do so"she said without looking at me
Yes it was right she never asked me to do so rather it was me who was always insisted her to ride my bicycle with me. This was only because when her arms are wrapped around my waist I could feel a heavenly warmth.

She placed two glasses of water on the table and sat beside me. Wait why is she sitting beside me, she sat in front of me. I turned my face and looked at her. She had her gaze locked st the floor patterns and wasn't looking up. I held my hand out to caress her arm but then quickly get it away because she clearly told me that she didn't like SKIN SHIPS and wrapping me around her arms is the only touch I have from Harley.

"What's bothering you Harley? You can tell me. Maybe I can help" omg why am I so scared to ask

"Nothing Messam" she replied short

"No there must be something that you are hiding" I asked now with a bit loud voice

"I was just wondering that.......I don't know how to ask?"she looked up and a tear fell down her check. Oh no why is she crying. I don't wanna ask more and pull her in my embrace but urghhhhhh I can't, so I decided to ask more.

"Harley my very dear friend you can ask me whatever you want and please stop crying" I rather pleaded

"Please tell me did you tell Ether about me or anything?"
she asked while crying

"No no. I haven't told him a thing and why are you asking this? Did he ask you something?"I asked

"Yes, before you came to college he was asking me about my biological parents"after she had uttered very word of hers I was there in an aghast.

"No, Harley I never told anyone about that and I promise that I never would. You can trust me and you always have been. You are my best friend and how can I betray a friend like yours"I didn't know but it felt that my words did relax her.

"Harley you may relax. I'll get going" I said and suddenly felt her sleek fingers around my wrist. OMG, I wish I could explain this feeling. I could feel butterflies in my stomach. I turned back and looked at her. She was looking down again so far away from my gaze.

"Is everything okay?"I asked

"Hmmmm...yes can you please help me with today's algebra because I wasn't actually listening to the professor" she said still wrapping my wrist. Instead of listening her I was looking at her fingers which she withdrew as she felt my stare in them.

"Yeah sure. Why not"I sat back and we started with the exercises. Time always flew fast when I am with her. I had already texted my mom that I am with Harley and won't be back for the dinner. I sometimes think that my mom is well known with this fact that I love Harley. Wait no I've been loving for the past three years. She sitting beside me doing her exercises oblivion of my feelings.
