Another High School Cliche

Chapter 5(Pov:Ruhanika)

"It happened to me again?"

I can't believe I fell for this again,

I thought he was different ..... but he felt ashamed too?!"

I said with disappointment to Erica and Tania.

Even they couldn't answer.

I acted ok and moved on.

Whenever I would see him I would ignore him ..... easy for both of us.

After a week of this, Erica talked to him and he explained everything to her.

But I still was disappointed - he could have said this to me, and also why was there a need to do all this when I was okay .... Doesn't this support my idea of him being ashamed of me?

Maybe I was just being insecure ....this has happened to me a lot and I can manage it.

People start talking to me ....we get shipped or teased or whatever and then they just leave cause who would like to be shipped with such an ordinary girl?.... I knew he would leave me too after some time so I decided to cut all ties with him before I start to get too attached. He wouldn't feel a thing too.....nobody does.

I avoided him for days. The more I avoided the more it hurt me but I thought it was for the best and I will be okay.

We had a big interschool fest approaching in around a month and our club had to perform around 7 songs.

It was a week-long program that included competitions, various sports matches, and performances.

It was the best thing a student could imagine: a month of no studies just practices and then a week full of excitement and entertainment. It was a really big deal for our school.

But this also led to meeting him all the time.

For the first 2 days, I ignored him like I used to, but on the third day I kind of wanted to talk to him but my ego wouldn't let me do that why isn't he coming to talk to me and explain to me? Does he really not care?

On the 4th day, I noticed he tried talking to me but couldn't

Dispersal time

"So....come again why am I in the choir? I can't even sing."

Tania asked since we joined her in the choir the day before.

"So that u can have fun with us ....come on exploit your bestie all u want" Erica replied.

While we were sharing our excitement two girls whom we didn't even know were staring at us and laughing, they were making it quite obvious that they were talking about us and yes we even knew what they were talking about.

I started feeling very uncomfortable and wanted to disappear from there but so I told Erica that we should go.

Reyansh came out of the gate and came towards us, this made the girls giggle more.

I was angry and I knew it was written on my face.

Reyansh and Erica read the situation.

"Excuse me? Can you'll just stop ...you're making it way too obvious " Erica said to them

And they obviously wanted to make a scene and said "We were talking about what we were seeing and whatever we have heard about the supposedly innocent girl"

I turned to walk back home with my eyes filled with tears.

Reyansh grabbed my hand and made sure I stood there and listened to everything he said to those girls and also everyone who was standing there.

"First of all whatever is happening between us whether it is a relationship or a Friendship it's none of ur business and also who are you to judge someone u don't even know.

You have been seeing her for past so many years I just came here a few months ago and I already know she is the most innocent and sweet person I have met in my life "

He stated angrily.

I will never forget these words in my life, nobody supported me like this before. I wanted to smile but I felt so shy and embarrassed - not because of him but myself.

I found it better to walk off at that moment.

Maybe it seemed rude but I had no idea how to handle that position.
