CHAPTER 3:

They met during lunch time like they would every day. They sat down on opposite sides of each other. The small talk was killing Amasia, she had to say something.

"Listen. About yesterday, maybe we should talk about it."

"Sure. What's on your mind?" asked Brett with butterflies in his stomach.

"I know that this is going to be hard for you and if you want to leave, I won't stop you. I just hope everything is okay between us?" asked Amasia puzzled.

"Of course I'm okay. I'm just afraid that you are going to leave because of what I said yesterday"

"I thought you wanted to leave because I didn't give you the reply you were looking for"

"I don't care about that as long as our friendship remains unharmed"

"Really? Me too. So you aren't leaving?" asked Amasia smiling.

"Well, I kind of want to. I'm so tired of dealing with your temper" teased Brett trying to bring peace back to their lives.

She gasps. "Go to hell, you're lucky to have me."

Yes, I am.

As Brett reached home, he called up Liam so that they could meet and discuss about Brett's situation. He wasn't exactly happy even though Amasia had assured him that she doesn't want to leave. Brett and Liam had been friends since childhood. They were very close to each other and cricket was one of the reasons why. Liam had always been popular among the girls. Nonetheless, he wasn't a player.

They met at a mall close to their home. "So, disaster strikes again in your life" said Liam mocking Brett.

"Well, it had to. After all, it is my life we're talking about"

"Are you done with your self-loathing quota for the day or do you need more time?"

"I'm done. Thanks for asking" said Brett sarcastically.

They sat at the food court discussing about what had happened and what needs to be done now. Brett always opened up about his feelings to Amasia, but he couldn't do that now, not when his feelings for her were the issue. Liam was the only choice now. It's not that he was a bad listener but they would rather talk about cricket, porn or food.

"Get over her already. She's not the only girl in the college" said Liam stating the obvious.

"I know but I love her. I had only told her that I liked her and if this sentence created such a chaos, I can't tell her that I love her"

"Look. If she liked you, she would've told you. She doesn't like you man. The only thing you can do now is move on"

"Maybe she'll grow into it"

"Dude! You're not a documentary about dams that she'll start liking after a few minutes into the movie. These are feelings. You both have been together for 3 years. If she doesn't feel it now, she will not feel it later too."

"Fine! "

"By the way, when am I going to meet her? I want to see what is so special about her anyways" teased Liam trying to make his friend feel better.

"I would rather die than let you meet her"

"Why? What is wrong with me?"

"Because you are a douche and what if you tell her all of these cheesy things I've been saying about her"

"I won't. Stop being such a baby"

"Alright. I'll ask her"

"Good. Now, stop thinking about her and look at that woman in the leopard dress" said Liam checking out the woman that was passing by.

"I don't feel like it" mumbled Brett.

"She has a great rack" explained Liam peaking Brett's interest. Brett couldn't help but look at her and said"oh my god! She looks like a Victoria's secret model"

"Tell me about it" said Liam and their standard topics like cricket, porn and food came into the limelight.

--

As Brett reached home, he called up Amasia. As usual, he told her everything but he carefully left out the part where he and Liam discussed her. He didn't want to make anything awkward between them anymore. They talked about all the things they could think of. He told her about how Liam was talking about meeting her. She didn't mind as Liam was a really good friend of Brett's and she had heard a lot about him.

"Sure. Let's meet up for a movie" said Amasia.

"Alright. I'll ask him when he's free" informed Brett.

"Not on Sunday though. I don't want to explain to my dad where I'm going"

"You should be in a play, because your drama never ends"

"Are you sure you want to make me angry? You'll be the one apologizing at the end"

"I'm sorry"

"That's better" said Amasia grinning. "Bye now. I am really sleepy and a sleepy me is a cranky me"

"You're always cranky. When was the last time you weren't cranky?"

"When I wasn't talking to you" said Amasia playfully. "Do you want me to make more fun of you or is this enough for the night?"

"I'll take my revenge tomorrow. Good night"

"Good night"
