The Untold Story. Part 1

Chapter sixteen

I had school the next day and I couldn't wait to tell everyone about this news, I was pretty sure, when I disclose it to everyone they would be in a probably be in 'shock.'
Yes, 'Shock' ! I'm not exaggerating but that's how it's like.

I have got an explanation to this too. My whole group had started dating way back, and they all were sure that I wouldn't ever date or for that matter anytime 'soon'. Dispite of which they did try their best to fix me up with someone or the other but all their hard work was never accomplished.  

As I've been explaining earlier, I wasn't a girl who even thought of dating, even in her dreams for that matter. I'm sure they all would kill me as soon as they come to know of it, but I know they will be happy for me. After all these friends of mine are just "Love".

So as my daily routine continued I woke up and got ready for school. It would be stupid of course if I say that I almost forgot that I was dating now!!... but yes that's true 'I forgot.' But all thanks to David I got my senses back working, when I checked my phone that morning.

David always did wish me morning but that 'morning' was different.

The screen displayed 'Good morning love' accompanied by a kiss. Yes, a 'kiss'.

I almost freaked out, yes I did! I was acting so stupid and exited. I literally had butterflies in my stomach, I just couldn't stop blushing. 

It's not that I don't receive texts likewise, but those texts gave me a reassurance of love and belonging. But his texts was something different. And it's hard for me to put them in words. Acting weird? Well, that's just me.

Once I digested the feeling I replied,
'Good morning David.'

I felt so different, I was no more single now. I was dating a guy I wasn't completely aware of. "Oh crap!" I yelled and asked myself, " Janet, how much do you know about this guy/ my guy?" I sounded helpless and laughed instead, and with a hope of a new beginning I started for school.

All way long I thought about him and was surprisingly happy about it. I giggled silently. David seemed to be a really nice guy. The way he always made me feel crazy about him. At times I really wondered, if this was all for real and if guys like him do exist?

I reached school and found everything beautiful. It all seemed as if I had entered my school for the very first time. God knows why was I acting crazy.

 I soon spotted my  friends, well finding them isn't a hell of a task, all you need to do is find a group that would be yelling the most and acting crazy, yes you guessed it right 'Early in the morning it was our group that yelled and shouted or else we would have Clare narrating one of her incidents that took place and others simply stared at her and fantasizing about it.

While I walked towards them the only thought that came in  my mind was, "What if I hadn't met them?." My life would be incomplete. Though I don't carry or hold the most wanted and popular spot in my group, I just loved being around them. I know at times my presence wasn't even noticed but simply being near them made my day.

I was fully prepared to let them about us.

"Hey, morning Janet" I heard Lisa say.

Lisa is one of my oldest friend since junior grade. She is one of those who I really can't lie too. She is someone who will know if i'm lying. Likewise is Courtney, these two girls can easy break my facade, and can soon know the Janet behind the fake face. God knows what they want from life, but I love them anyway.

"Good morning, Lisa"

"So, how's life" asked Lisa

"Well it's all great" I replied while I smiled

"Well someone seems to be really happy today"

"Yes indeed I'm"

As soon as I was about to break my silence I saw Stefy come towards us with a tensed face. I was worried and couldn't resist but look at her.

(Stefy is one of my close friends in our group, somewhat like my family friend)

"What happened?" I asked

"Everything is wrong" She responded

As soon as she said so I completely freaked out. "What happened Stefy, speak up"

All the attention that was on Clare diverted to her , Clare herself got tensed. Everyone  turned towards  Stefy and she was the center of attraction now, we all simply stared at her. It reminded me of little kids in primary starting at their teacher when they meet for their very first class.

"Will you speak up Stefy" Said Clare.

She looked as if she was about to cry, we all had lost it and couldn't understand what was happening.

"Stefy speak" I said

"Do you guys remember Augustus? The camp guy?"

Everyone recalled. I was worried about Clare the most as she was close to him. I stared at her and then towards Stefy just hoping it wasn't something bad.

"Yes, what about him" asked Carol

"Come on Stefy, speak up" Said Clare with almost tears in her eyes.

"He..."

"He what Stefy" we almost yelled

"He committed suicide"

Everything just stopped. Things were just popping into our heads, the past moments came flashing back. No one could believe their ears. Everyone was numb. No one said anything

Just then I broke the silence by asking, "Stefy who told you?"

"I heard it from my friend from St. Luck itself"

I had nothing to say, no words to describe this. I still tried being positive for the group and said,

"Let's not be blind and believe everything we hear, just hope for this to be a wrong news!"

Their are times in your life when you come across such situations where you just don't understand how are we suppose to react and what can you expect from life. They maybe moments when you feel the world is yours and you've got everything you wished for and then you are hit hard and reminded that things aren't permanent and you just can't be happy all the time. Life is never a bed of 'Roses' just as I say.

Janet didn't know how to react. She was totally confused, on one hand she had given her life a new beginning and on the other she had her friends drifting apart.

What was Janet suppose to do? Was she right in what she did? And does life have anything else to offer her except of tragedy? Put yourself in her shoes and ask yourself 'What would have I done?'
