YOU'RE MY BEAUTIFUL

FRIENDS

"Drishika, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?" Divyam asked me with aglint of hope in his eyes.

I stared deep into his eyes trying to catch whether what he is saying is true or not.

"Answer me drishika!" he asked nervously"

"div-----"DRISHIKAAAA!!! wake up its getting late for your school" I jolted up from my bed by my mom shouting coming from downstairs.

THIS WOMAN!

Damn! That was a dream.

"and's never going to be true" my inner voice chirped in. I just rolled my eyes.

I saw the wall clock and oh fucking cheese balls!!! I woke up 40minutes late!

I rushed into the washroom and took a bath. When I came out I saw my uniform was already ironed and kept neatly on my bed. Well, at least dad understands me. I sighed in relaxation.

I anyhow reached the school without getting late.

The first three lectures were good. There were not many new teachers so no need for an introduction but well I and my friends were like an outcast in our class because we were in a different class the previous year.

Hell! I felt awkward having my lunch in that class so we decide to go and meet our old friends. I hesitantly agreed because I didn't want to face Divyam but I hadn't seen him since the morning I had some curiosity.

In the class, all the girls were talking and chatting with each other and well I was teasing every girl using their crush's name.I am a pro at that and I know everyone's secret.

But somewhere in between the shit talks, my eyes were looking for that one guy.

" you are a simp for him" shrishti commented while smiling slightly.

"cant deny that" I playfully glared at her.

Then I saw all the boys coming back into the class in a group from the washroom. Why do they always go in a group? I always had this question.

I saw Divyam and Rohit coming together and talking. I caught Rohit'sattention by waving at him. He smiled at me and asked me if I was doing okay. I had not talked to him in a long time. We started talking about random things and his new crush which changes now and then.

I remembered that Divyam was not around us anymore. I searched through the room but didn't see him.

" looking for someone?" divyam whispered in a low voice near my ear and I felt a shiver running down my spine.

"nope, "I said trying to sound cool, avoiding the butterflies in my stomach and creating some distance between us. He just laughed and went with his other friends leaving me and Rohit who was smiling for an unknown reason.

"What?"I asked confused.

"you still love him" he stated still smiling.

" I never stopped loving him" I spoke without a second thought.

"but that also doesn't mean I will allow him back into my life and fuck it up all over again. I am not giving him another chance. I don't want to get hurt again." I continued.

"Everyone deserves a second chance," he said with a glint of sadness in his eyes.

" those who realize their mistakes deserve that and Divyam don't want to accept it." I corrected him. " I just don't want to see you two hurting" he sighed and looked away. He is a true friend.
