Becca might be ignoring me but I know that she wanted me back. After all she's my best friend. We both are stubborn as hell. So I texted her.
No problem in texting, right?
I realised that there is no harm in apologising to best friends, So why not make the first move?

Hey Becca free
tomorrow??

What has that got to do with your stupid ass??

Come on do not say so. I thought we could have a drink together and enjoy the day.

I'd rather take the money. 💰

Okey then we can go for a movie this weekend.

But I'll be having a severe headache this weekend.

Okay so no more
excuses now. I am
really sorry.

Is this an apology???

Yes girly! A serious one.

😂Apology accepted.

I knew you will forgive me.;)

  .Okey so see you today in school.Bye.😃

Stupid. 

Bye.😘

-----------------------------------------

In school ....

"Hi Chrisy!
I am so sorry girl.
Please forgive me, I know I screwed up and you too did so please let's  just forgive each other. You know that..." Becca continued reading her apologizing speech.

Focus on 'reading'. Yes, this stupid girl wrote a speech when we are on good terms.

"SHUT UP BECCA! Geez!  We were on good terms since yesterday's conversation, weren't we? So why this whole written speech on apologising now?" I asked calmly. 

Well not calmly but this happened in Harry Potter , so its okay. 

"Ummm..,You know I wrote this speech few days back to apologise but never did and I didn't want to waste my precious speech, so I thought I would read it now. How was it?" 

Gosh! This girl.

"Becca, did you by any chance smack your head with a wall or something? And answer to your question is that i didn't hear your complete speech , so no." 

She just raised her one brow to make me shut my mouth and smirk.And what she did next was .. I don't know what you call that but kinda unimaginable. She gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Bec.. cant ..... breathe... hands ..... pain ..." I said choking and  grasping for air.

And now she was grinning like a lunatic.

" She  definitely hit her head. Take her to a therapist." My inner voice advised me.

“The therapist would need a therapist then. This girl can make anyone lose their minds in minutes. Not a good idea.” I told my smart but not-so smart inner voice.

While she was grinning and I was eyeing her curiously, we were startled by a cough. We both turned around to see Chris's best friend and my friend, Ethan Walter.

"Sorry to disturb you girls but I wanted to talk to Christina." He said while looking at Becca, his eyes asking her to leave.

"Okay I will see you later." Becca replied instantly.

"Bye Bec."

After shouting my goodbye I turned to see Ethan.
"Hi Ethan how may I help you and by the way have you seen Chris since morning ? I didnt see him at home and now at school. Do you know where he is?" I asked him breaking the ice and awkward silence settling in.

"Well yeah,  he told me to give you a message about this only. He had some  important business so he wont return until next week."

"Oh-Okay." I whispered as I was a bit hurt. Why didnt he tell me?

"Hey it's okay" Ethan spoke to console me. “By the way my birthday is on this saturday which is day after tomorrow and I want you to come. I already asked Chris so no worries, and you can even invite your friend Becca.” He glanced at me hopefully probably waiting for me to say yes. And so I did. 

"Okay , thank you for inviting I will definitely come." I said and turned back to walk to my next class not even muttering a bye.
But i clearly didn't miss the smile and dimples he had after hearing my answer.

Little did my past self knew how much infectious that smile was and how much that party is going to cost me, us.

I smiled to myself and thought of our childhood days when we were the inseparables and now we barely talk. I miss those days.
