Rosies's POV :
High School began. It was the first year of high school and one the most fantastic years of my life. I became popular and more confident than i was ever before. I improved in academics and every other field in school. Another completely awesome thing happened that year. My best friend from junior school, Zhenya shifted in town and joined my school.

Me and Zhenya were more like sisters than just best friends. When we were in grade 4, we lived in a small town and our houses were four streets away. Every afternoon she used to ride on her bicycle all the way to my house to pick me up and we used to ride all the way to her home and play on the skateboard, or with her puppy which was so adorable. When we were in grade 5 we used to play badminton in my street after school and used to stay with each other all the time. I spent more time with her than i did my own family.
In grade 6 i shifted school to join Fortitude and gradually, we lost contact as we both got busy in our lives trying to work hard on our grades and fulfilling our parent's expectations.

When i acknowledged of her shifting in town nearby our school, i immediately talked to her parents about shifting her there and i succeeded. My best friend/sister joined my school and we were together again. I told her everything about those 3 years i spent in Fortitude, especially Luke and his attitude towards me. All she did was laugh on how dumb i acted there.

That one year was the best one of my life and i would never forget all the memories i made with Zhenya. We used to bunk English classes, untidy the walls of the washroom, sing One Direction songs all day. We did every possible thing two 15 year olds could do to make a bundle of memories.

Ammy, Alicia and May were along too. We five made the best memories in our first year of high school. I still get tears in my eyes remembering them.

At the end of the session in April when our summer gala in school was near, we all were sitting and cutting out flowers and tress for decorations, Alicia got an idea to play the truth and dare game. As i was a coward, i always chose truth when we played this game because i had nothing to hide from them and this way i used to get safe from doing silly stuff that my friends would ask me to do if i would choose taking a dare.

But this time, i ended up chosing a dare because i expected them to give me something of which i had a potential to do but things never go the way you plan.
"Go to Ms Hyde and tell her to shut up" said Ammy.
"No, that's not a good idea. Go take 50 rounds of the football ground" suggested Zhenya.
"Do you want me to lose all my fat in one day?" I said jokingly.
While we were busy in our lamest conversation ever, someone popped out with an idea which changed my life.

"Why don't you message Luke Bryan that i like her." May? May suggested this with a smirk on her face.

"Gosh you like Luke? Seriously?" I said being really surprised.

"Whatever, that's what your dare is and i need a screenshot of your sent message on Facebook" Alicia popped in between.

"Yeah fine. I can do it!" I was confident that i wasn't afraid of anything or anyone.

What could Luke possibly do? Block me on Facebook? Did i care about that? Obviously no. So why should i be nervous? I shouldn't be. And i was not.
I was definitely ready for this although it was just a stupid idea.

Luke's POV :
First year of high school was really good. I made new friends and became even more popular than i was before but popularity was not my goal anymore.

I just wanted to see my family happy. i wanted to give them everything they deserved in the return of what they ever did for me uptil then. I wanted to be a role model for my siblings so they could learn to work hard and achieve their goals. I was always appreciated for being the best student in academics, sports and mannerism throughout the year. I won 2 inter regional and 3 inter schools football matches and was awarded as the best football captain of the region.

Everything was going smooth until one day i realised that my dad wasn't really happy with me. He thought i spent most of my time on Facebook and didn't spend much time with him so i decided to close my Facebook account. I didn't deactivate it but i just didn't log in for a long time. I could still receive messages, friend requests and notifications. Anyways.

The summer break began and i got busy with my football practice. I used to go to the coaching school every morning and returned till evening while i gave rest of the time to my family. Although i had good football skills but i never thought i was best at it. I wanted to improve more and more with time and practice.

The new session means that second year of high school began. It was September and i was about to turn 17 in late November. I felt more like an adult that year.

My friends insisted me to open my Facebook account as they wanted me to play some online game they liked. As i opened my account after almost an year, among all the messages someone's name came into my sight that left me in shock for almost a minute. Rosie Stuart.

Rosie messaged me? Like seriously? I chuckled a bit but opened her message and it said:

"May Clifford likes you and intends to be your close friend."
And there was a link attached with it which was of May's profile.

Okay. That creeped me out, why is Rosie telling me this when May never even talked to me, like not even for once. I replied to her saying:

"Oh really? Can i know about the whole thing? I'm really confused."

After giving the reply, i saw the date when that message was sent by Rosie and it said 2nd March. 2nd March? And now it is 10 September. She must have forgot about it as she never sent any other message after that.

Maybe she just needed an excuse to talk to me and she made up this whole May thing. But if she wanted my attention, why didn't she ever sent any other message to me or tried to contact me some other way? The matter was different. Rosie was never an attention seeker. She was different.

The things would be clear when she would reply my message and i knew that she definitely will.

So Luke replied Rosie after 6 months and 11 days, how cool is that. It's not cool but what will be Rosies's reaction to such thing. Please like and comment guys and thanks for reading uptil here.
