Nameless

Chapter 3: Mean Girl.

"How could you not tell me?! We're supposed to be best friends, or does that not mean anything to you?" Anika was screaming at me. It was exactly two days after Aanchal read the note, and I had a feeling she was the reason Anika was asking me such ridiculous questions. I was getting thoroughly annoyed, and decided to scream back. "I woud have told you if there was anything to tell!" She glared at me. I glared back. For once I was standing my ground, and I sure as hell wasnt going to back down. "If anything were to happen to me Anika, good or bad, you'd be the first person I'd tell." I said, calmer than I felt, but looking her right in the eye. She sighed and gave up the fight, "I spose you would." "But why would you even think that?!" I asked, curious and frustrated at the same time. Was I that transparent? And I needed conformation that Aanchal had done what I thought she had done. Anika gave me a look, and I knew right then I was right. "Aanchal." We said in unison.

"So, what's this about you and Manan?" Samraagini asked me. "Nothing. Lies. Rumour. Aanchal." I said, extremely frustrated that eveyrbody seemed to know. "Oh. Right..." She said, walking away. something in her tone made me think she didnt believe me, but what the hell could I do? "I want to roll her under a steam roller, inch by inch, making her feel the pain. Ill start from her toes, flattening out her bones, and stopping right before her vital organs." I muttered, getting sadistic pleasure from the thought. "Okay, two problems with that; one: she deserves life long suffering; and two: she'd pass out from the pain before you got up to her knees." said Anika, sitting down next to me with her lunch. "Well, I'll wait for her to come around, and then continue, and who knows? That way, it might take a lifetime to flatten her out completely. And she'll finaly have that dead straight hair she's always wanted." I said, emphasising on dead, and snickering at my evil joke. "Sad joke, and you know you dont have the heart to do it." replied Anika, nonchalantly. She was used to my rants. As sadistic as my mind could get, I would never actually do those things, as after the deed would be done, I'd feel so much remorse, I'd kill myself trying to making up for it.

"Right, so you read the note, which was NOT MEANT FOR YOU, just by the way, and then decided to annouce to every living soul that I'm going out with Manan?!" I asked, hearing the anger in my own voice. "Well, I thought it was seeing as it fell by my feet. and I didnt go around telling everyone, I simply asked Manan if it was true." she said in her annoying high-pitched voice. "Ofcourse he denied it, but I dont think his red face helped his cause at all." she added seeing my death look in the bathroom mirror. I glared and was ready to hit her when she said, "I was just curious..." with a grin on her face and innoncence in her eyes. LIES. I thought. "But havent you heard?" I asked, my voice dripping with false sweetness. "Curiosity killed the cat." I looked her right in the eye to let her know she was going to pay for this. "Well, you havent heard." she said haughtily. "I'm not a cat." and stalked out of the bathroom. I rolled my eyes and headed out too. What a lame comeback. That girl needs to get some brains. I thought, already planning my revenge.

"Hi," I said shyly. This was going to be awkward, I thought. "Mmm..." Came the reply. He didnt even look up from his textbook. "Manan, look. I didnt tell her anything, I dont even like you like that." I started, and he looked up at me finally. "Im sorry. I-" "Not your fault" he interrupted, scooting over and motioning for me to sit with him. I sat. "Aanchal is like that, and half the people wont even believe her anymore, you know how many rumours she's started." he went on. I simply nodded, ecstatic that he was talking to me. "So your not mad?" I asked. "Not with you...." He trailed off. Not good. "What happened?" I asked, beginning to worry again. "You realy dont like me that way?" He said finally. "Uhhh.... no." I replied, positive that i never wanted him to know. He would be repulsed, surely, that someone like me liked someone like him. He would never speak to me again, and that would kill me. I thought I saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but that was just my mind, I convinced myself. "Oh." He said. "Then its all good."
