Fallen But Unwithered

(10) He is full of surprises...

'The spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.'

                      **********

I had become like a celebrity. Literally speaking, I had become the centre of attraction in the school. As I walked through the corridors of holes?uis carrying my bag, even the sickest of children who were super studious were staring at me. It was all because I was the first girl to get picked up by a boy at the gate in the school. It felt completely awkward.

Suddenly I felt someone grabbing me and those fearless, cold hands striked harshly against my cheek. And at the same time I was somewhere underneath two persons, who were sitting on me like I was some kind of a bean bag .

Holy crap!! What actually was this??

Only after few seconds could I realize that those who had carried out this entire mess were my best friends. They really were.
The one giving me a hard blow was Arzey and the two knocking me down were the two most stupid girls anyone would find in this entire universe, Nikkyi and Guillena. Guillena was a difficult name to pronounce, so we named her Gay, just Gay.

"You went on a date." screamed Gay. She was, always like this as far as I had known her.

"I....I..did." I stammered.

Oh really!  And why was I stammering in front of these dumb holes

"Are we real best friends?" added Nikkyi , giving me a pathetic look. She was a drama queen, of course, influenced by those Korean dramas, you know.

"I'm sorry, okay. I'm sorry." I spoke up in a low voice.

"There's no sorry. Lets go to the cafeteria and you are explaining all the details." Arzey ordered me, tilting his brows.

"Now??" I knew I looked puzzled.

The shot me a pit fire look.

"Yes NNOOWW" they screamed at once.

                             ******

We were in the cafeteria. I was made seated in the middle and they were all surrounding me with those keen eyes, all staring as if I was going to leak some of those military secrets.

And Yes! I told them everything. When we met, and all the other stuffs. They seem to be so interested.

Gross!!

"You should have told me earlier.. Jade knew it before me. She told me that I was the worst best friend. How can you do this to me, Plex??" It was Nikkyi again, flashing that pretty pathetic look again.

"It all happened so sudden. I was about to tell you all tod-"

"Still you should have told it before.." said Gay. Her eyes concerned about me. No matter how mad she acted, but she was real serious about her life. I could see that she was worried.

"I'm sorry." I said with a sad and realizing face.

They all stared me for a second.
"Okay, bring me a chocolate tomorrow as a sorry present." said Arzey.

"And you're taking me for papdi-chat treat tomorrow" said Nikkyi.
Now I was much more happier that Arzey and Nikkyi had forgiven me.

"Gay??" I said slowly. She was the only one who was silent and serious, now.

"Promise that you'll say everything first." She pointed her finger at me.

"Okay! Promise....Promise" I laughed.

"And yes! You're taking me to eat papdi-chat and giving me chocolates tomorrow." That was our Gay, after all.

"Ah..as if" I pretended to roll my eyes at all of them.
