"Chanceux- lucky"

"No matter how less we talk, my heart still cares,
The one that took place in my heart's vacant chairs."

Mike didn't wanna wait so he informed one of Ann's guy friends, Rage to help him get the girl. As the feelings were mutual, stuff went easily. Mike and Ann started dating. Yup the girl who said she didn't wanna date anymore was back to it.

It was lunch time and the girls felt awkward as the new couples behaved differently. Ann was flustered, Mike was lost in Ann's face. All this was new to both. Especially Ann, even her ex hasn't looked at her like this. She was weirded out by the looks Mike gave her. Days passed and Mike kept looking at her like the first time, and oblivious about what Ann felt bout it.

This was discussed among her friends and when Mike came to know bout this his heart broke. Not because Ann didn't like him looking at her but the fact that he made her uncomfortable....it broke him.

Ann didn't know bout all this. Classes went normally but nobody knew that Mike was breaking inside, head down in the back seat, tearing up.

It was lunch break. Ann was waiting to meet Mike. She quickened her pace when she saw his face across the crowd. Making way through the the gossip girls waiting to share tea , couples who were missing each other,  people who were rushing to the lunch hall. But as soon as Mike's eye met Ann he panicked and Ann didn't know why.

"Hey Mike-" Mike just walked into the boys washroom as if he didn't hear her. Ann was like 'did he just ignore me'. This scene was what Tag , Sia, Eva and Daze saw when they came out with their plates.

"Huh what's up with him?" Sia asked and all gave the same confused expression.

"I don't know-" Ann replied unaware of what the hell is wrong with him.

Rage walked in to the scene and inquired why they all looked so flabbergasted and puzzled at the same time.

"Oh maybe because of Ann not liking his stares..." He guessed after knowing the situation.

And all went like "WTF who told him?!!!"

"Uhm me ofcour-" he was met with random rants and shouts.

"Ok ok sorry but i thought he should know bout it if it's uncomfortable to you..."he tried to make himself clear.

He had good intentions and he knew that would result in some bad consequence if he don't reveal. He had a girlfriend, Nicole. Long distance relationship as she had transferred from their school to a different one so he knew the importance of communication in a relationship.

They waited for Mike to come out he didn't despite several calls from Tag, Rage, Sia, Daze and Ann herself. They decided to return after lunch.

They returned after a quick lunch to see him run inside the washroom the moment he noticed Ann. He would come out when Ann stood away but the moment she neared him to speak he went back inside.

Tag felt frustrated, "WTF is he acting like some snail that goes inside the shell when it see humans?" Ann couldn't help but laugh at her comparison nevertheless the situation being serious. But they all understood that he is the emotional and sensitive type and he is hurt right now.

Things were being talked out and Tag explained, "It's not she didn't like your stares...the relationship just started and she isn't used to this. You both should start talking to each other and know more about each other's likes and dislikes" All agreed with her advice. She was good at advising as she was good with poetry and stuff. She knew how to convert feelings into meaningful lines as she was just like Mike, sensitive and emotional.

That day something else happened too. Ruby confessed to Eva. She was met with a bouquet of red roses and diary milk heart pop. (Girl's rich I see) Eva already immersed in love was gonna accept immediately but thought she'll think once more since it's her first time.

The next few days they discussed and shared more about each other. And that's when she got to know some creepy facts. Ruby had a mark on her wrist...she had been facing depression and had tried to end life several times. She was prone to overeating due to depression and reached a point where she vomits all that she eats. Doctors suggested diets and meds for her.

Tag who was on cloud nine hearing that Eva's dating didn't feel right about her depression. She knew Eva had a tendency of going into depression and stuff and was afraid if Ruby would drag her to it. She warned Eva," I understand you wanna help her get over it since she told your presence makes her feel better but i don't want you to accompany her in that...since I know sometimes to make someone feel better one can give them a company in whatever they're doing."

Eva promised," I won't...I'll just try to bring her back to normal"

That was it, their friendship was stronger than anything else. They cared and protected each other. Supported each other in everything...their dreams, love, academics, all of it.

The same was for all the girls- Daze, Sia, Ann... Especially for Tag who was brought back to happiness by Eva, music and her own dreams.

She thought she is translucent...
Too opaque to be neglected,
But too transparent to noticed.
Too special to be ignored,
Too average to be even considered.

Several heartbreaks for the girls, but their bonds never broke and they all believed it's permanent. In this world where people make you feel transparent, someone to make you feel opaque is a ray of hope.
