A Room for Confession

A Different Shrey

"Dude where are you guys???? You said you would pick her up on time." Not to say how desparate Abhi was for the night out, now that Anagha was gonna come.

"What?? I'm on time. I'll be at her place in 5 minutes and then to the party place. You were stupid to go and sit there so early." This sucks to be the middle man.

"Fine. Hurry."

As I parked the car, there she was in cute blue comfy dress with her hair up, beautiful, waiting for me......
Wait! Haven't we met before? Why the hell am I describing things now!??!?
This is so stupid. Abhi!!!!!! Why her!?!??????

I felt kinda nervous. I don't know why. Maybe cause I know her already and now I'm about to tell her that my bestfriend likes her! Whatever.

"Hey!! I am not late, right??" I should be so shameless to even ask it!

"Oh yes, you are but you were late the last time too!" She's definitely sarcastic.

"And I said the same last time too." Girl stop, I know.

"Um.. I guess we should be going." She smiles and we walks towards my car.

Unplanned, I just went and opened the door for her. Well this might sound like I'm a gentleman but I didn't do this the last time or ever. And even she wouldn't have thought of this coming.

"Ah- h, now this is something I thought I'd never see. But thanks" No wonder she was shocked cause this felt different. I was acting different.

Halfway to the party place and suddenly....
"You.. y... You look pretty" really she did.

"Huh- hh what! THANK YOU!" She blushed!?!?!?!? God Abhi would kill me.

"Well. Don't take this the different way okay! And anyways Abhi likes you. So I wouldn't hit on you" this was when I realised how dumb it was to tell her about Abhi in this manner.

"What!? Really. I thought it was you who wanted to invite me today. I don-" she stopped in between and the look was weird.

"What??? Say it" did she really think it was me?? Might be. Ugh...

"Nothing! Look we're almost there, I guess" she definitely wanted to say something, nevermind.

"Ohh yeah. Come on" This time she didn't wait for me to open the door. I wasn't supposed to?? Why do I sound like a red flag????

"Shreyy!!! Dude, half hour late. I knew you would never be on time." Abhi couldn't have waited half hour?? How long is it that he has known her??? Atleast I went. Ungrateful people.

"Heyy! Didn't know it was you!" Waitttt she's gonna tell him how I told her... Noooo.....he,ll kill me.

"Sorry??? What??" Abhi's gonna be so upset.

"Nothing. Just.." why's she cutting herself in between. Girls confuse me so much.

"Come on. Lets go" how was I supposed to cover it up then?

"Heyy guys! Hey Anagha, you're here too." Sanya could've asked something more better. Girls......

"Ohh yeah! Abhi invited me!" Ouchh!!she said this... really?

Is she being sarcastic again purposely? Or is this something mean? Or whatever but why is it bothering me!!!! Ofcourse Abhi was the one to invite her.

"Ohh cool! Come on. Lets get something to drink." Yeah Sanya couldn't be sober today, ofcourse.

"Actually she doesn't drink!" how the hell did I say this and now!!!

"Uhh ohh! Shrey!! Always the mediator." Yeah as if I don't know.

Abhi screaming and saying
"Well we can talk about it later right???" Abhi!! She already knows. Sorry.

"Hey! Lets go to the pool side. Would you like to?" Elegant Abhi??? What the--

"Umm. Sure" whatever she says, but please not about how I told her.

I don't know if it was about how I told her that Abhi likes her or if it was her reaction to it, that was bothering me. Cause she didn't exactly react to Abhi liking her.

It was like more than two hours that those two were talking there. Did she tell him?? Did he confess to her?? Maybe he should or maybe not! Well I could ask her while going back home. She would definitely tell me.

(Boy you're different, know it, realise it)

"Okay! Shouldn't we be going??? Its 4 pm now." I asked only cause she told me that she had to be home before 5!

"Shrey! I could drop her" what really? One day and Abhi's being like this!!!

"Well let her decide that!" what's wrong with me!!

"Yeah! Shrey could drop me he lives pretty close. I'll text you later." well this is good! I was the only guy friend and I still am. See Abhi have some patience.

"Uh. Okay. See you! Bye" Abhi couldn't have been more upset.

The second time that I opened the door now for her.

"Well, you didn't tell him right?" I couldn't wait more to ask this.

"No, actually. He said it himself very soon. Or else I would have told him that I know. But..." there she goes silent again.

"Yeah??"

"But I don't know how I am supposed to text him now. I didn't even know how to respond to him back there at the pool side when he told me. It feels weird. Cause like I have known him yesterday and now he said he likes me. Should I be quick with my decision?? Should I b-" yeah she talks this much too!?!?!?

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Chill. You're not bound to be responding if you don't want to." Huh! Concerned me?

"Really, right? Will you help me out to this situation? Please!!" Deep down I hated being the middle man.

"Yeah, sure. Well, we're here."
This time she waited for me to open the door but.. it was me who didn't want to.

"Okay! Um.. Bye. See ya."

"Bye!!"

This night was different. I have never felt so weird before when we both hung out or even talked. Is this something? Wait. Too much of assuming.

Doesn't matter. She asked me to help her out with Abhi. Maybe all of this are just the side effects of being the mutual one. This sucks.

                        --------------------

Today:

That day was when I somewhere new that it was a different me. But didn't want to accept it. The entire night was the second time that I realised how awkward it is when your bestfriend like the pretty shy girl you talk to.

Well, the later's more different. I guess, 'different' is our word.

-------------

Well, this part was a little bit confusing. Like the mixed feelings but the good ones. But atleast the friends to lovers trope is now on track. And we are gonna love it.

Hope you guys like this part. There more confusing cute feelings to come yet.
