"So, you're telling us, that you hugged Mama and then you ran away like a baby?" Arya asked, looking at KS amused.
"I did not run away like a baby!" KS exclaimed.
"Your mom didn't really hug me back. I thought maybe I was wrong when I thought she liked me and I was embarrassed." KS explained further.
Haseena smiled and kicked her foot against Karishma.
"God no, I had the hugest crush on you Karu, I just hadn't fully figured it out yet."
KS smiled, "I was pretty irresistible at eighteen."
"Shut up Karu, you still ran away from me like a baby."
"I had myself convinced that you didn't like me and that I was being a freak." KS answered.
"Well you were being a freak, you hugged Mama alot? You could have got laid much sooner if you tried harder," Alia laughed.
"Shut up," KS whined. "She was the first girl I ever actually liked and I had no clue what I was doing."
"Obviously not." HM laughed.
............
KS rolled her eyes. "Well, after I left Haseena, I went to the skate park and was zoned out," KS started.
"Karu, what's your problem, girl?" Cheeta asked, skating past me.
"Uh nothing why?" KS mumbled.
"Because you're zoned out like a baby."
"I am not!" KS exclaimed, sitting on the edge of the empty pool they always skated in.
"Is it because you had to bring the baby with you?" Cheeta asked, looking at Mikey struggling to skate on his little skateboard.
"I'm not doing anything!" KS replied.
"Just stop being a baby then! Did Haseena finally tell you that you're stupid and gonna fail accounting?"
KS ignored Cheeta and looked down at her feet. She totally didn't want to talk to them about being confused about liking Haseena.
"Come on, talk to us. We're your friends you know," Santu said sitting beside her. Santu wrapped her arm around KS and KS pushed her away.
"It's dumb," KS mumbled.
"Well I'm gonna push you into this pool if you don't start talking Karu." Santu almost threatened KS.
"I think I like Haseena," KS mumbled.
"What, why!? Because she's tutoring you!?" Cheeta questioned.
"She's cute," KS admitted.
"You like her cause she's cute?" Santu questioned again.
"And she's funny and she's nice," KS said, burying her face in her hands.
"Barely! She's a weirdo!"
"She is not! Shut up," KS shouted. "She's so sweet and awkward and I like her."
"Oh whatever, she's a weird nerd," Cheeta muttered, "You could do way better."
"Oh really? Like who?" KS demanded. "Haseena's perfect."
"You're eighteen you don't know what perfect it. Besides there are plenty of other decent people in the school that you could be with." Cheetosh suggested.
"Like who?" KS asked again, glaring at her best friends. "I can feel it, Haseena's the one, But I don't think she likes me. I mean, I hugged her yesterday after we had our study session and she was just stiff and weird the entire time."
