When me and Anjali were out of ear shot she said something that made me want to slap her .
Anjali : Soooo moved on from Darshan huh ?
Me : ?
Anjali : So you stopped flirting with Darshan , now moved on to Adhvait .
Me : SHUT UP ANJALI ! ALL YOU HAVE EVER DONE SINCE I MOVED HERE IS TORTURE ME ! MADE ME FEEL AS IF I WAS SOME WORTHLESS PEICE OF TRASH !
Anjali : I SAID IT BECAUSE IT WAS THE TRUTH ! NOW STOP ARGUING WITH ME ! JUST ADMIT IT !
Me : UGH ! Its to early for your stupid words .
Anjali : Some day Darshan will realise how stupid he was to become friends with someone like you .
Me : Whatever , forever .
I walked away and changed . Did that little idiot think that that was gonna stop me from being friends with whoever I wanted ? Well she was so wrong about me .
The next day I put on my favourite white crop top and a pair of jean shorts . I wore a cute pair of pink shoes to top it off . I headed out and waited for Darshan [ We were going together as I couldn't drive and my parents were out of town ] . When he came out he looked , what's the word ? Decent , for once in his life ! He's always dressed in his exercise clothes ! He saw me smirking as he came out of his house .
Darshan : What are you smirking for ?
Me : My fashion sense clearly had an impact on you .
Darshan : Oh surely !
We started to laugh and it just felt like I was betraying him , like there was a whale on my head and I couldn't get it to move . When we stopped laughing , Shruthi mam dropped us and we saw Darshini and Adhvait were talking there . They waved at us as we came .
Darshini : OMG !
All : What the -
Darshini : Aleesha ?!
Me : Uh yeah ?
Darshini : What magic spell did you work on him [ points at Darshan ] ?!
Me : Wait what -
Darshini : He looks decent ! He isn't wearing those stupid exercise clothes !
Me and Darshini burst out laughing and the boys just stood there staring at us with a small smile on their faces .
Me and Darshini : Are we going to go shopping or not ?
Adhvait : Yeah , bit you have your wallet right ?
Me and Darshini grin at each other .
Adhvait and Darshan groan .
The boys looked so funny that me and Darshini couldn't stop laughing as we made our way in and out of shops . We had a really good time so we decided that Adhvait would plan something for us soon . As soon as we got back to Darshan' house I stop in my tracks . There stood an angry looking Anjali with her fists clenched . She stood and stared at us for some time and then attacked me . These were few of the times I was happy I dyed my hair instead of putting on a wig .
Anjali : WHY WERE YOU WITH DARSHAN ! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS !
Me : [ struggling and failing miserably ] [ crying in pain and talking quietly ] Please stop ..
Anjali : YOU ! I KNEW YOU WERE FLIRTING WITH DARSHAN ! YOU WERE TRYING TO TAKE HIM FROM ME ! I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY !
Me : Please , please stop ! We went to the mall with Darshini and Adhvait ! Please just let go of me !
there were small scratches and big ones where blood was coming out of . I had never been in more pain . But Anjali was not done . Darshan went in and got Shruti mam , who managed to pull her away . She asked Darshan to take her in to hid room and they left . Me and Shruti mam were left out and you could only hear my sobs in the crisp , cold wind .
Shruti mam : There , there , don't cry . You're fine now , lets get those wounds bandaged up shall we ?
Me : [ still trying to calm down and still sobbing a little ] ok .
Shruti mam bandaged my forehead and I just sat there , feeling sick to my stomach . I knew that this was not over , and next , there not be anyone to save me . After mam was done I thanked her and left as quickly as my bruised legs would take me . I just wanted some peace from that girl , but the universe literally said no . I couldn't go to class for a few days , and that worried a few people like Krishnan , Darshan , Darshini and etc . Darshini called and I told her everything . The words came out like a water fall and Darshini sat and nodded . She only talked after I was done
Darshini : Ok , I'll tell the others. How are you feeing now ?
Me : sigh .. I've had better days , how is everyone in class ?
Darshini : We all are great ! I'll see you tomorrow ?
Me : Maybe in a week .
We laugh and chat some more . After I hung up I decided that I would make something and watch T.V for sometime . While I was eating , something made a sound in my room . I thought I was done for . First Anjali , then the guilt of lying and now this ?! It's like god was targeting me , and me only ! I picked up a bat and went up the stairs , only to find someone I recognised .
