Secret Crush

Chapter 4

"If you feel hurt by your friend, that means you admire them and care for them."

After some days

When our classes started we were given our own places. I, Rachel and Nessa were sitting in one bench only. Actually Annie wanted to sit with me, but she couldn't as we sat according to our height. We sat beside John's bench, even Ronald and Brad were sitting with him. I and Rachel decided to change our places as at first I and Nessa were sitting at the side. So we were changing because even Rachel has to get a chance to sit by side.

Nessa is also one of my friends. She is sometimes good and sometimes very cunning and selfish.

It was strange that when I called John, his mom picked up the phone and told that he was outside. His mother told that she'll make him call. So I waited till half past eleven at night. I felt so bad that he didn't even text me in WhatsApp messenger too. I sent so many messages, they were delivered and he read them even. He just said "okay, good night."

I don't know why I was actually bothered about him. Its just I wanted to ask some doubts. Why I even want to ask the doubts only to him? I can even ask Rachel or Ann. Its first time in my life that I was hurt by this funny situation.

Its kinda obvious that he must be busy at that time. I'm not saying that if he is my best friends, he has to listen only to him and not to anyone.

I got very angry and didn't talk to him till our recess bell. Then he came and asked me my notes for competing his work and said that her mom told about my call. He said that he couldn't call me back as he came to his house lately.

It was weird that I actually reacted to his call and thought that he was ignoring me and ditching me. Its the first time that I was angry on a boy for a simple missed call.

I told this to Annie and her reaction was awe!

" Its very irritating that day Ann!"

" Ohooo!!! So you were angry on him for that simple thing ?" She said.

"Yes!!! Such a stupid girl I am, right ?" I said.

"No, actually you are not stupid. You're a love struck girl!"

"Will you stop it ? I am not that girl, okay ? He is just my best friend and I treat him like my bff(best friends forever), how I treat you and Rachel." I said by stressing on friends.

"Oh! I see. Then why weren't you angry when I or Rachel don't pick up phone ?" She said with a smirk on her face.

"That is-"

"Because we are only best friends and what about John?"

"I don't know but I was hurt by that silly thing because of-"

"Love" she shouted by pausing my words in between.

"Just be quiet." I said.

"What is bothering you ? If I say something about you both which is not true, then why are you reacting on it ?" She said it without a gap in between her sentence. She is definitely confronting me for not accepting the fact that I love him and he loves me!

"I don't need to answer your question Ann!"

"Oh...so you say that I should not have interfered in this matter ?"

"Yes..."

"Okay, whatever "

I also thought about what she said for a while. Am I missing him so much that I can't wait till we go to school and meet ? No Emily, there is no such thing called love in your life. You only love your parents and your well-wishers. I said this to myself.
