Chapter Four

"They say music can alter moods and talk to you. Well can it load a gun up for you , and cock it too? Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude, just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued."

Sing for the moment was ringing through my headphones as I opened my eyes to a Thursday morning wondering when I'd fallen asleep.

What happened last night?

I quickly rose up and checked my phone. One new message.

'What is it?'

Oh, shit! I had fallen asleep during our conversation.

After staring at Aditi's number for a while, I had finally decided to send her a text.

'Hey. How are you?' I had excitedly typed and sent.

'I'm well. Who are you?' The reply had come.

'I'm Samar.' I had typed. But then a thought had crossed my mind: Why not have some fun?

'I'm a close friend. Did you forget me?' I had sent.

'I'm not sure if I know you to forget you.'

'Oh, you know me. There's no doubt about it.'

'Aditya? Is that you?'

'Aditya, who?'

'No one. What's your name?'

'I can't tell you that.'

'Why not?'

'Because if I did, this conversation would not be fun.'

'What makes you think I'm having fun?'

'You're not?'

'No.'

'Lets talk some more. I'm sure you'll have fun.'

'Its late. I gotta sleep.'

No. No. No.

'Its just 11. Stay for a while.'

'I really need to sleep.'

'Okay, just stay for a minute. I gotta tell you something.'

'Okay, make it fast.'

'Can I call you? I mean now.'

'Hell no!'

'Okay. I'll just text it to you.'
Was the last message I had sent her before I had fallen asleep.

"Just let our spirits live on through our lyrics that you hear in our song, so we can..." Eminem was continuing in my ears as I got off the bed.

I threw the headphones on the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Who was Aditya? I hadn't really given it a thought last night. Was he her boyfriend? It would really,  really suck if he was.

The cold water flowing down the tap sent chills down my body.

"You think she is a virgin?" Roman was smirking.

I turned to him and then back to Aditi.

"I don't know man. What do you think?" I whispered back.

"You better wish she is."

"Why so?"

"A little bird told me you like her."
