Her Best Friend

Are we fighting Part 6

'what again have I done, you have been avoiding me for a while now and I have been behaving as if tho I am not noticing it' Tracia told me as I walked pass her after my music class

'what is making me to behave like if I ask' I asked her not attempting to glance at her

'how do you expect me to know when I am not you'

'you can notice that as long as you want to... what I know that my present behaviour shouldn't be a distraction to you' I told her as I took out my arithmetic text book to solve some equations

'earnestly speaking Tanny, I seriously need to know what is running through your mind and what you are actually thinking about me. you don't behave this same way to any of our friends then why did you chose me for this...I need to understand things better and you are the one to make me understand them' she told me

'what do you want to understand, there is nothing I can explain to you right now... I told you everything is alright and its up to you to believe that'

'Tanny.... ARE WE FIGHTING?'

'what will be the point of fighting... it will be better if you go interact and associate with those that matter most to you, because...' I lost my words once I saw Justice walk pass me and went towards her direction

'I better be taking my leave now' I told her as I took my belongings and left the class to another environment for the united lovers to continue with their unfinished discussion.

Tracia's  P.O.V

'Are you two having any misunderstanding' Justice asked me as soon as Tanny walked out of the class

'no nothing...everything is fine, it was just a light argument' I lied trying to hold fasten the tears that were threatening to flow down my cheeks

'but you don't sound fine... can you just believe in me for once and share this problem with me'

'Justice I said everything is alright, he's not just in a good mood today'

'how can you tell me that when I am seeing clearly that he hurt you'

'lets get this matter off the table, he is just my best friend and he is not happy today, I tried knowing what was wrong but he refused telling me'

'I was just trying to be concerned about you,so that you wont hurt yourself anymore, I didn't mean to get you more upset and I am sure he is not doing this to hurt you'

'but that's exactly what he's  doing, you needed to see the way he was speaking back at me it was really annoying, but then I have to hold no grudge against him since I don't know what is making him behave this way' I said as I stood up to say my goodbye

'believe Tracia that guy really cares about you, he cant just angry at you that way for no good reason' justice spoke sending trails down my spine cos I wasn't expecting such words from his mouth, I mean never

'thank you for the support Justice' I told him finding a way to put the discussion to an end as we pulled ourselves into  a goodbye hug

'NOOOOO.... YOU CANT BE DOING THIS AGAIN' I heard Tanny scream making me to leave Justice with full force before realizing that he had red shot eyes

'what is becoming of you Tanny in this school...are people no longer expected to hang out with people you call your friends' Justice asked him, but I wasn't understanding what the point he  was driving at.

'I will advice you don't say any other thing Justice to avoid further anger' I warned Justice as I walked towards the direction of Tanny noticing that  blood was dripping from his hand, but he wouldn't wait for me to meet him and explain things to him.

                           _                                                     _                                                               _

'do you have any idea of what is going on between Tanny and Tracia' I heard Austin ask her as I walked pass the music hall

'it seem there are having a serious understanding, but that shouldn't be our business right?' she asked him giving him a questioning look

' I just hope they will be fine soon'

'Austin!!!!....'

'yahh... what is the matter'

'why are you concerned about them, I thought you told me that you guys are no more in a relationship'

'nothing.. there are just my friends, nothing more is attached to it...she wasn't interested in the relationship anymore so she broke it off.  uhmm that should be an episode for some other day' he told her giving her a warm hand shake.

                            *                                                               *                                                               * 

' why do you keep acting as a child and keep hurting yourself Tanny... she is just your best friend there is no any other attachment, but you keep getting mad each time you see her with her ex' Darney scolded once he noticed the injury on  Tanny's hand.

'I don't know what I was thinking about, I didn't even realize when I got this injury' he tried explaining to Darney who also acted as a senior brother to him

'that the more reason you need to find a girl in your life, you need someone to love stop getting hurt because of someone who doesn't love you'

'you shouldn't understand me by now Darney, I find it hard to love any girl'

'another major reason you need to learn'

'.........sorry, I want to use the rest room' Tanny said, leaving his set in Darney's care

Bing Bing Bing Bing ... a message got into Tanny's phone from Tracia I should guess and he came in immediately as I gave him the phone only for him to look at the messengers name and delete it without even attempting to read it

'you didn't have to do that.. you would have at least read it to know what she actually wants to tell you'

'I had no other choice' he said as he went ahead to play chess which was he regular game each time he was annoyed or thinking over something that was seriously bothering him

'but you are quite sure that that is not gonna solve your problem right?..... just get rid of things that are not of much importance out of your head, enjoy your day while I go finish my assignment in the library' Darney told him as he gave him a pat on the back, picking his palmtop and ready to move out

'hey ...Darney, how far have you gone with that assignment of ours'

'guy that useless assignment is really giving me a hard time'

'so what are you insinuating now, that you haven't started anything yet... poor boy you better find your way before its too late'

'did you just call me poor boy you puppy face, if you are done get ready to do mine for me' Darney joked making both guys to spur up in laughter
