Was it all a lie? (GxG)

CHAPTER 1

Tanvi

I kept checking my phone, hoping she texted me, but nothing, the notification bar is empty just as it has been for the past two weeks. I'm starting to get worried. Is she alright? Did something bad happened to her? I can't stop thinking like this. I hope she's okay.

Today is the first day of college and I came early to grab a nice seat, which is somewhere in the middle. Students started to fill the class. My vision is glued to the door. I am watching every person who's walking in, hoping there could be someone I know. The chances are very thin, still. But she's the last person I'd imagined to walk through that door. I must be mistaken it can't be her. I miss her so much that might be the reason I'm hallucinating. Get yourself out of your head Tanvi.

I shook my head and opened insta and scrolled through reels, then I heard something very familiar. I remember that laugh. I'd recognize it anywhere. It's her. It's Riri. But what is she doing here? She doesn't live here. Is it really her or am I going crazy? I got up from my seat, but just as I was about to move, a teacher came in.

After class ended I quickly grabbed my things and rushed out of the room. She has gone a bit further.  I walked fast, as if my life depended on it. I grabbed her arm, and she turned around. I can't believe my eyes, it's really Riri.

"It's really you" I whispered, "I texted you so many times, I was worried about you. Why didn't you reply? And what are you doing here? Not that I'm complaining" I added, happiness flooding my heart.

"Excuse me, who are you?" She removed her arm from my grasp.

What is happening? Does she not recognize me? "It's me, Tanvi"

"Tanvi? I don't know you"

"Are you joking, because it's not funny"

"Who is she?" The girl with Riri asked.

"No one, I don't know her"

Her words hit me sharp like a knife. My heart sunk into my stomach. Why is she pretending not to know me.

"You must have confused me with someone else" she said, starting to walk away but I grabbed her arm again.

"Come on, why are you pretending you don't know me" I pleaded.

"I don't have to pretend, I really don't know you. So back off" she said coldly and left, without glancing back.

"What a weirdo," I heard her friend mutter.

I stood there confused, why did she said all that. Tears started to form in my eyes. I walked away and went through the first door I found. Some tears escaped my eyes, I wiped them but they wouldn't stop. Sometime later I heard the door open and immediately stopped crying. And wiped away those remaining tears.

"Hey, are you okay?" I nodded.

"Look it's not my business, but you are clearly not okay...do you want to talk about it or just sit in silence?"

"I don't wanna talk about it" I said in a hoarse voice.

"That's fair. I'm just a stranger to you. Well, I know a nice place around campus. Do you wanna come with me?"

I avoided looking at her face instead I stared at the floor. I didn't say anything for while.

"Relax, I am not gonna kidnap you" she said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"How can I trust you? You are taking me someplace alone" I shrugged. 

"Hmm...I guess you shouldn't but I know you wanna come with me. Nobody can resist my charm" she flipped her hair back dramatically.

I finally looked at her and raised one eyebrow. She's simply smiling, so I smiled too.

"Myself Anaya" she bowed which made me laugh.

"I am Tanvi" I replied, still feeling a bit down.

Anaya looked at me and said, "Hey, what if we pretend today is a really bad movie? We can laugh at all the plot twists!"

"A bad movie? Well, I'll be the awkward one who trips over nothing" I smiled shyly.

"Okayy then, let's find ourselves some popcorn".
