The First One...

Chapter 16

"Sam, i want to know everything, Why are you so afraid to trust me?...just tell me what happened that time...i want to know everything about you."

I looked at him for a moment and nodded.

"Lets just go home. Then i will tell you."

He nodded and started the car. We soon reached home.

I saw Ana and Sophie was no where to be seen. I asked Ben to follow me to my bedroom.

We entered and i locked the door.

"Please be comfortable..you need anything?"

"Sam..i dont want anything. Please tell me about it."

I nodded and sat beside him on my bed.

"It's when i was in High School first year, I had a classmate who use to sit next to me. His name was Mike Stewart. He was very handsome. I had a huge crush on him. He was in school football team and a good player. Many girls were crazy for him. I never told him about my feelings. Just Sophie and my other close friend Nessie knew it. He was very attractive. We became friends as we were lab partners. He seemed nice guy but wasn't much open to me. I kept my feelings a secret to myself.

All those high school years, he dated different girls. I didn't like it though, still i kept quiet. I didn't want him to take advantage of me. I was not that kind of use and throw girl. He was getting so involved in girls that he hardly use to attend classes and our talks reduced. I was sad as he was my first crush.. I even thought i love him at a point.

Years passed and our last year was coming to an end and everyone was excited for the prom. I wasn't planning to go at all as i knew he will never come with me. But one day just before the prom night, he came to class and sat next to me. He was acting normal and i came to know that he had recently split up with his girlfriend. He asked me to meet him after school as he needed some assistance in his assignments. I agreed to that. When we met he asked me to be his date for prom. He said that he liked me but was afraid to tell me. I hesitated at first but trusted him and agreed. I was so happy. The boy i had huge crush on since the first year was asking me to be his date. I was on seventh heaven. After spending some more time in the nearby park he kissed me on cheek and left saying that he would collect me on prom day at evening. I was so happy that my dream has come true.

On the day of prom i was busy in preparations, he texted that he will pick me at seven.

I got ready in evening and waited for him. Sophie left with her date and told me she will see me there. I was waiting for him. It was almost one hour after seven but no news...i called him but his phone was off...it was almost eight thirty but still no sign. I got depressed with every second that was passing. I got call from Sophie and she asked me where i was, when i told her that he didn't show up. She told me that he was already there with Nessie as his date. I was so shocked to hear that, it broked my heart. I was so stupid..so so stupid. I so regretted to agree with him and trust him. I was a fool. He made a fool of me and the other shocking thing for me was he took Nessie to prom. She was my second best after Sophie. I trusted her. That night was the worst for me. Next day, i got a call from one of my friend who was also in football team. He told me that Mike was fooling me. He had a bet with his friend to convince me for prom and he won, but he was already involved with Nessie. No one knew about her until the night of prom. She broked my trust, she told him that i liked him since first year and was with him during the prank he was playing with me. That's the way he got to know and had an easy access to convince me. They didn't even bother to tell me that it was a joke.

I couldn't trust anyone after that. Mom and dad tried to get me out of it but i couldnt.. i was feeling so embarassed. I couldn't concentrate and i was so depressed. I couldn't face the bullying and comments of my fellow classmates. The school was laughing at me. It was so humiliating. He never came in front of me after that. Just sophie was there to help me.
