Eves pov
My phone rings loudly.It's poppa.
"Hello?".
" Meale, are you at the market? I'm here to pick you up. I am by the dosa place".
" Yeah sure I will meet you at the dosa place"
"Okay meale".
I look at Ashwin " I have to go".
"Oh", His face drops, "well let me walk you there".
" Aw thank you. You don't have to"
"What kind of man would I be to just leave you".
We don't talk on the way there, having a light conversation. He asked about my favourite colour. "Probalry like blue or yellow".
"Nice mine is orange"
We reached the edge of the dosa place when I saw Poppa standing there.
"That's poppa, I guess this is where we part ways". I say drawing out the sentence. I'm reluctant to leave him.
" Can I get at least your number? '' He asks.
'' Oh sure". We exchange numbers.
" I guess this is goodbye for now, I hope to see you again". He says smiling.
I see Poppa waving at me "yeah bye Ash see ya around" before running over to Poppa.
Ashwin pov
"Yeah bye Ash see ya around" I watch her back as she runs over to her grandfather.
I beam. I love that nickname. Only from her though. Anshia teased me saying it and I hated it.
I walk back home with a grin plastered on my face. I look at my phone at her contact. My fingers hover over the keyboard before changing her name to elephant.
Amma gives me a weird look seeing me smile randomly. I go to my room before bursting out in happy giggles on my bed. Hehehe I got her number. The whole night I spent tossing and turning. I play over the day over and over in my head.
Eve pov
When we get home I show off my new saree to auntie. She elephants the materials and style.
"You see, you get your bargaining skills from me. You know your mother is awful at it" she pats her chest proudly.
"Thank you aunty after all I learned from the best". I look around the room. Usually Emma is eating in the dining room but she isn't there.
"Um where is Emma?"
"Tsk you know that girl is so rude. She stormed through the house and banged the door. Not even a hi to her mother".
"How about I check up on her aunty.I'm sure she didn't mean it". What happened at school?
Maybe the gift will cheer her up.
I knock on her door. The wrapped up tiger in my arms.
"Go away!". I step back in shock. It sounded like she was crying.
"Hey Emma, it's me. Can I come in?" I say softly. I hear a sniff before a small "Okay" came from the other side of the door.
I open the door and find her curled in her blanket. When I sit on the bed next to her I see her red eyes and puffy face. I open my arms and she hugs me tight. She crys on my shoulder as I stroke her hair.
After a while I finally said, " Hey,what happened". With her face still buried in my shoulder she mumbles "I thought they were my friends".
"Who".
