So my friend confessed that he has feelings ....for me

Blank blank blank I was so blank at that moment that all I could think about was to escape.

So I escaped.

Went home without saying a word and called Erica at 2’o clock night

The conversation:

“Did you know?”

“Geez where is - hello? Are u sleeping? Am I disturbing you?”

“U r definitely not sleeping so answer the damn question did u know?"

“Well finally … do u have any idea how long I've been waiting for u to talk to me about it? ”

“Who told you?” I knew it was either Ved or Reyansh

“Doesn't matter speak up”

"speak up? why didn't u tell me?” I was furious like why did my bestie not tell me about something like this?

“What? That he had feelings for u? Everyone except u could see it …. Tell me how do u feel”

Exactly what I did not know. How did I feel?

Well talking to her made me a little calm 

The confession? It was the best feeling ever 

How do I feel about him? I have no idea at all

I have never seen him or anyone like that to feel that way.

Erica told me not to panic and take my own time 

So I told her not to tell anyone about this call and decided to forget about it

Next few days I kept it pretty cool and ignored the whole confession part 

During a trial match, Reyansh got hurt….

I came to know that he was just acting to be hurt only after some time but I ended up playing with him

 and finally talking to him normally was pretty good and not awkward.

Since that day I just decided to ignore the fact that he had feelings for me completely
Because I think I have feelings for him but relationship? That's something I'm scared of that too with the most famous guy in our school.

Just 2 days left for the big match
Reyansh and Ved were very disturbed and anxious so we used to try to calm them down a bit in the evening during the choir meet and it always used to work

THE DAY BEFORE THE BIG MATCH

 “So guys we can disperse now, tomorrow we won't have any practice due to the match,” Erica states while wrapping everything up.

‘I wonder if Reyansh is doing okay” I say out of worry after everyone disperses.

And my worry was like everyone else’s teasing time.

It was just out of worry and absolutely nothing else.

Erica ensures me saying he just needs to calm down - the reason why she told him not to come for the practice that day while still teasing me.

But little did I know Tania would jump in to save me with a shocking statement:

“Well I wonder if Ved is doing okay,” she says smiling ear to ear”

Both Erica and I looked at each other shocked knowing that this girl has fallen in love for the first time in her life.

“Do u really like him, Tania?” I ask seriously.

“Well yes I do” she answers confidently.

Knowing a person like Tania she would never say something like that ever in her life for her to say something like that should definitely be a prank or she has to be drop dead serious and it did not seem like a prank at all.

Obviously, we girls asked her everything in detail, and both Erica and I were shocked as if we would have seen a ghost.

So apparently my sister turned snake likes a guy from a long time ……. It started a week after she met him.

“Chill girls I do like him a lot but I expect nothing from him it's just a teenage crush …. In fact, my first crush and I know it is impossible and that doesn't bother me I am happy to just see him every day doing his work and being himself and that's more than enough, and it's not like falling in love is a crime.” Tania says.

Sheeeshh it's not just a small crush it's more than that I know my sister and it's definitely more than that she has fallen in love and that too very hard.

“Just a teenage crush? Doesn't seem like it Tania” Erica says

“Ok maybe more than that but I just wanted u guys to know about it
can we please move ahead and no more questions please and no more mentioning it too otherwise id fall hard for that jerk” she says.

“Let's move on and talk about this queen what is ur situation Ruhi??” she continues diverting the topic.

“Ya I’ll talk to u later Tania now let's see if even u have any secrets, Ruhi”

Erica says

Well, what secrets I have no interest in love I used to think so but why am I liking it when he tries to mischievously make a way to talk to me and why am I not rejecting him if I have no feelings for him? 

The thing is I am not sure about my feelings and I am scared to lose another friend.
At this point, I just feel like I am playing with him.....Am I?

“We should go back and take some rest
We need to cheer for the boys tomorrow” I said brushing off the topic.
