The Liar And Her Love

Chapter 23:

Dec'22

It was the Christmas carnival today and I was sitting in the school garden starring at the flowers I planted here at the beginning of the year. It's all grown up now and it's about time I tell my friends that I'm leaving. I have kept the secret for around 3 months now.

I did not have the guts, my parents were sort of angry that I applied outside, it was apparently because I was lazy enough to not try for NYU. Because Cornell University is a easier choice.

I did not say anything, my dad's friends got extremely excited and screamed hearing about it and hence they calmed down and agreed.

They are paying for college. Atleast I'm financially stable.

My brother was not happy. He slept with me crying all night.

I leave in spring after I give my final exams.

"Ae in" I called my friend. She was one of the best thing that happened to me in this school. Her parents were fashion designers and she was very passionate about becoming one too.

To take over zen house, their fashion brand.

She turned around looked at me. The bouncy Santa ears on her head bounced too.

"Come to our class, I need to make an announcement" I told her.

She is not close to my friend circle, so she doesn't hang out with me often but I still love her so much.

She nodded and followed, we went to our class. Jungkook, Taehyung and venessa were already there. Ae in entered and smiled at them.

Then Jiha entered. "I thought you weren't in school" I said.

"I wasn't, I just came because you texted in the grp. Don't tell the teachers I am in the school. It's already chaos here, nobody would notice" she said and I smiled.

After the incident few months ago, all of us have gotten much closer. The last three months were probably the most dramatic 3 months of our life.

Venessa and Jungkook are finally dating for real despite the fear looming over their head. Jiha is finally my best friend now too. Taehyung looks at Jiha the same way he always did. Jiha and Taehyung were getting close but everything dropped again because of that angie shit and Me? I'm just here making an announcement.

Jimin is not here, we are friends but he has a girlfriend who he is with right and hence couldn't come.

"Okay guys, I'm leaving for Cornell University next August. 4 years and I'll pursue masters and PhD as well" I said and there was silence.

Then they burst out in cheers. Jungkook came running to me. "You made it" he was in literal tears. This fool.

Ae in came in and hugged. "I'll miss you"

"I'll miss you all too" and this turned into a group hug.

Half an hour later I was standing at the corner of the carnival when Jimin approached me.

"Jiha told me something" he said.

"That I'm leaving?" I said with a smile and he nodded.

"You were the best academic rival I ever had. Thank you for bringing the best in me" he said and I smiled.

Thank you too jimin. Before the thoughts could turn into words na ri came rolled her eyes at me.

"Heard you were leaving?" She asked and I nodded.

"Okay congratulations" saying this she grabbed his hand and both of them left.

I'll move on.
It was pathetic and childhish anyway.
