Love in micrometer

~INSIDE THE HEAD ~

CHAPTER 9

Priya

The model was fixable. I looked through my bag and realised that I had forgotten to keep the tape in my emergency stationery pouch. Siddhi immediately realised it and asked me not to worry because she had two rolls in her bag. This is something I loved about us; we were responsible. Sometimes so much that we overthink all the worst possible things that could happen out of a situation, and we would try solving it together, responsibly. It might seem too trivial, but it mattered. I love her.
As much as a chaos we three are together, we get the work done. After we fixed the model, it was time to tell her that it was okay, and it was not an intentional mistake. She seemed a little dull, but she hugged me and apologised. "Ayyo its okay, it's not like you did it on purpose. We fixed it together, did we not? We learn from it," I patted her back.

I like being this person. Trying to remain calm at all situations, well, only on the outside. It is not that I am two faced, I can never be. It is just that I don't want to add to the tension in the air. Somebody has to be calm, at the least pretend to be. There are hundreds of doubts and thoughts that are running around in my head, but I can not let anybody know about them. There are mine to be hidden forever. Nobody can know because it makes me vulnerable. I don't want to be needy. I am enough.
"Okay!" I screamed with some energy and clapped.

Avi, who was on the run to get some information about the judges, joined us after everything was fixed. "Wow, you super humans, you did it by yourselves so soon", he said. The three of us giggled. We were ready in formals and waiting for the Open day to....well "Open". Haha, I am so funny.
"You both have a surprise." Avi said.
"What?" I asked excitedly
"My friend is coming today".
"The friend you have been gatekeeping about?"
"Yes, that one", he said, and I could visibly see that he was blushing.

I am extremely curious as to who that mystery girl is. The way he talks about her makes me very happy, that he has found his soulmate. Although I do think that maybe he wants to be more than friends, I can not impose feelings. I might be wrong as well. Just the things that go on inside my head.
