CHAPTER 1 :

"You are so stupid", said Brett completely amused at Amasia's theory.

"It's not stupid, it's true. There is a possibility of an ice age in the future. It may be around 1500 years later, but still", said Amasia confidently. "At least I don't spend my days masturbating all the time", she mocked.

"You're welcome to though" he said raising an eyebrow.

"You're so bad. Come on, let's go. It's almost time for the buses to leave."

Amasia and Brett were in the same college and were completely inseparable. No wonder everyone thought they were in a relationship. They were in a rut- go to college together, come back home, talk on the phone as if they were talking after days, watch TV and then go to sleep. Amasia being so broad minded and Brett being so funny was what made them stick together for so long. Many guys and girls came into their lives and left but they stayed with each other through thick and thin.
They had been best friends for almost three years now but it seemed like they were childhood friends.

She would fight with him as if she was at war and he would apologize every time like it was his favorite hobby.

"Your hands are so pretty. How is that possible?" Questioned Brett in awe of Amasia's hands. He could actually spend his whole day just looking at her hands and he wouldn't get bored.

"I don't know. I'll ask my parents what positions they used while conceiving me. Maybe that'll help",she said slyly. He laughed a little and that made her feel like she was the funniest person on Earth. She loved it when people would laugh at her jokes. For her, the best compliment was if someone told her she was funny.
Maybe I should tell her. How can she be so clever at times but then so stupid to not see my feelings for her?, he thought. I don't want to get rejected by her. But what if she feels the same way? I should tell her.

"There's something I've been meaning to say", Brett said with his heart pounding. She looked at him waiting for him to say something. It was weird for him that he could actually make fun of her the whole day but when it came to expressing the way he felt about her, he was speechless.

"Are you waiting for my permission to speak? Say it already", she said annoyed.

"Here goes" Brett said knowing that either this was going to be the best day of his life or the worst. "I really like you". She chuckled thinking it was a joke but when she saw his humourless expressions, she got goosebumps.

"What? You're serious? Are you sure?" She asked baffled.

"Well, yeah"

"But", she said with not knowing what to say after it. I knew she didn't feel the same way. I shouldn't have said anything, he thought to himself, cursing himself in all ways. "I don't feel..." she continued only to be stopped by him "it's okay. I was just letting you know. I realise you don't feel the same way and its fine" he said apologetically.

The bus ride was too much to handle. Fifty minutes had never been longer. Small talk was all that was left between them. Both of them felt awkward and worried at the same time. Amasia feared that he'll leave her because she didn't respond to his feelings the way he wanted. Brett dreaded that she will stop talking to him because he had ruined everything.

That day, nobody called each other after reaching home.
