Today's quote is :                                                                                                                                                                                          "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that its stupid."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             -Albert Einstein

ANAYA

Like every other hate story, ours too started with an incident. An incident I don't like to recall. I've buried it under my head and locked it in a box and threw away the key. But, like I said before, I need to get it over with. So, I dug deep into my head and took out the box. Unlocked it with a spare key and started to recall that horrible, horrible day.

'Hey', I waved to my friends as I ran over to them.

'Hi', Bryce and Avil waved back while Isla hugged me.

'What are we doing today?' I asked when Isla let go of me.

'You mean, who are we pranking today?' Avil corrected.

'You know me too well, don't you Av?' I smirked.

'That I do', Avil said.

'Okay lovebirds. If you guys can stop flirting, we can start planning the prank on our next victim. Poor him or her', Bryce said with fake sympathy laced in his voice.

'We weren't flirting', I shouted. 'Or at least, I wasn't. Can't say the same about Avil though.'

'Please Naya', Avil started, 'If anyone was flirting, it would be you.'

'Honey, I can't flirt with myself now, can I?' I asked. 'Plus, you know I don't flirt with any unattractive guys.'

'Excuse me', Avil said, in a disbelieving tone.

'You're excused', I smirked.

It was these small bickerings that I really enjoyed. It wasn't like I liked him or loved him. I just enjoyed bickering with Avil. Since he was so much like me, it felt like I was bickering with myself. In some fun, silly way.

'Ugh! Stop it Naya. Let's just go plan our next prank', Avil grumbled.

Bryce, Isla and I just laughed. 'Fine. Who's the poor victim?' I asked.

'A girl named Jiya who's going around school spreading rumors about Isla', Bryce said.

'What kind of rumors?' I growled.

'I can't tell you that. 'Cause if I do, you'll probably go kill her and it will land you in jail. So, I'm not taking the risk of telling you the reason. Sorry', Bryce said.

'Whatever', I said. 'Let's just go plan.'

A few hours later, we were ready to put our prank into action.

We were right in front of Jiya's house, ready to prank her when the sight we saw arose the feeling of betrayal in our eyes.

'How could he?' I whispered, tears stinging my eyes. 'How could he do that to me?'

'I'm sorry Ana', Isla said. 'I don't know why he would ever do that.'

'Looks like we found ourselves another victim', Bryce muttered.
