Fall Like A Feather (Teen story of a Millionaire {#Wattys2016}

Companionship

Here my phone rings. I don't even need to guess. Special people with their special timings.

"Do you think what Debbie told would be true? I think I should change."

At first I wasn't paying any heed to what she was speaking but her last words(You think I should change?) grabbed my attention. Lindy is way too sensitive. And yeah I have to mention who this Debbie is. I don't know what her brain is made up of. This guy Kevin , whenever he's around she gets so hyper exited to create an impression on him, that she targets anybody in front of her, and not to mention, in most of the cases the target is Lindy, the reason being Lindy and Kevin's growing friendship. Last time she got really torned up by Debbie's pranks. In the occasion of Kevin's birthday she came up dressed like an idiot. All covered up in feathers or fur sort of dress and please don't tell me to elaborate her makeup.

Then the people's smiles changing into giggles and then transformed into bursting laughter. I could see my dear friend's happy and excited expression turning into an expression of abort. I could understand how she must be feeling. I couldn't help but just grabbed my friend's wrist and took her out of that place full of anarchy. How can I forget Debbie? No matter how hilarious anybody is dressed up, there is no one who can compete her look.

I couldn't meet eyes with my sheepish friend . She was crying. I wonder if there's any tap fixed in her eyes which somebody has kept open and forgotten to close.

I was about to open my mouth to console her with my words , that I heard a male voice behind. Kinda Familiar one. Lindy turned back and her raindrops of tears turned into tsunami. Her soundless mode of weeping burst-ed out with a word" Kevin". It's obvious. You feel crushed when being insulted badly in front of a lot many people . However if one of your so called important person is present there , the number of other people doesn't count. That's enough to mutilate you to the highest extent. I don't know , a sudden thought came to my mind that I should get out of that place and leave them alone for a while. Based upon these things I truly don't have any common sense. I could have ended up being all ears to their conversation and give my own commentaries.

I went on walking alone over the green grass wondering about all bunch of conversations being shared by both of them. But as a matter of fact whenever Lindy has Kevin's company , I don't even need to care about her. Kevin is the safest person on earth Lindy can be with. No not even her parents. She is one of those children who are too suffering from the daily torcher of an abusive father. The daily incidents occurring in her personal life are responsible for this weak mindset . Some people are so frustrated by their life that they don't even have any realization of what kind of impact their daily deeds may be doing to the minds of their children. Problems are in everybody's life. There's no one prevailing in this world who may not be a struggler. Everybody has their own journey.

I could hear footsteps behind me. "Elizabeth, I think you guys should go home. It's already too late. Um Lindy would you mind joining me for coffee tomorrow?" These lines made my mouth open wide with shock. I said "Of course why not . There's no need of asking." What to say , I always have a habit of jumping the gun. How amazing would it if Debbie witnessed this situation. I would be glad to be glad to offer her a bucket of popcorn to watch this ecstatic scene of her loss with full enthusiasm. And Lindy , yeah she accepted it.

Well that's past . Lindy and Kevin don't talk now. The reason being a big misunderstanding. At times a small misunderstanding can do a great harm.

"Misunderstanding can be improved but,
Ego comes in between "

Back to present. "There isn't any need for you to change. And why would you? As per my thinking, you have been negligent to anybody insisting for a change until it comes to Kevin . Where is the requirement of paying any heed to Debbie's words? By the way , now when there is no conversation taking place between you and Kevin , what bothers you so much?" I hovered for a while . I couldn't hear anything from the other side! Not Again!
