There is a saying in french ,"Plus on est de fous, plus on rit" which loosely translates to "The more, the merrier" , which in this story , I relate to as "The more fun loving people get together, the more fun they have" , that's exactly what this chapter is about....
********************************************
As time flew by , me and Daniel quickly became the best of friends. Some could even say we were like brothers , inseprable. That was because we had each others back all the time , and we knew that no matter what would happen , we would always have each other by the side. I know , it sounds gay but thats just how every "guy" friendship works isnt it ? Just that 1% off from becoming a gay couple . But no, just to clear it , nah. We werent gay. We just understood each other very well and that is what kept us close. People really started noticing us , being together during the break times or even before class started.. the buzz is what got me thinking. "What am I doing ? What is wrong with me?!?" I quickly realised that this new friend that I had made had got me seperated from my old ones and thats something that I really regreted down the line. The next day , I started the day off with a slightly more healthy approach , you could say. Hanging out with James and Harry more , and you somewhat less with Daniel. The whole reason why me and Dan had become friends was because of Maria. I realized that I didnt necessarily have to entertain him all the time , that is when Maria wasnt around. But you could say that we three were the perfect trio of crazy , bad humour and nerd-gasmic talks about books and fan fictions. We all shared the same interest, and that was the love for reading. Our usual chats consisted of "Hi , hello , have you read this book?" Very amusing and stupid but at the same time , it was amazing to know that there were people out there who shared the same weird interest as I did.
As time went on , I distanced myself from Dan but little did I know , the whole group had become friends with him. Some knew him before me.. and some got to know him because of me. Some would even say that he was wayy cooler and smarter than me. I wouldnt disagree , I gotta give it to him. The guy was pretty amazing but it felt like I was being replaced, and that didnt feel right. Thats when I realized how James , Kenny or Harry must have felt when I started replacing them with Daniel.
I dont know if it was jealousy , but I just didnt want him around my friends any longer. So I decided to speak to him about it later that day , and thats the first thing I did upon reaching home. I logged into my social media and went on to message him. But then my eyes noticed thgdoup that I had been added to.
"Hogwarts school of witchery and craft"
-Maria Fernandez and Daniel
Me - "Ok , what the heck is this now? -_-"
Maria - "Oh , its our private school. Now we can. learn magic and all sorts of stuff over here"

The conversation was a long one.. and continued for quite some time , and I was really happy about it as I wanted to discuss other matters. Well , in the end , that conversation never happened and to this day Ive never spoken to Daniel about it. But maybe he already realized that , who knows who cares.
As you may have realized by now , how the chapter started with us being close friends to where we stand rite now. This my friend , is called jealousy, and it is the the most honest feeling a person can ever have. There is no fakeness or act put up in it , its not possible. Its just true emotion. But some people choose to be agressive about it and solve it in a more "negative" way while the others choose the sensible option, ignore and move on. And thats exactly what I had decided to do. Over the next couple of weeks Daniel's existence didnt really effect me in any way shape or form. I was happy with Maria as my friend as we shared our fandom over phone calls for hours and hours.
We got a chance to meet inbetween, that too happened very rarely but even those few mins felt like forever in our memories.
Back in our old lives , and by that I mean the one in our school , things werent going so well. More and more people started to gossip around about the 3 of us , and it wasnt the good type. Althou me and Daniel werent very close at that point in time , we still decided to take care of the situation. Maria on the other hand , was least concerned about all of it. She was the type of person who didnt really give a fuck about what people said but only me and Dan knew that she too felt bad on the inside , she just didnt really express it. One could say that all that happens , happens for the good, these incidents merely brought us closer to one another , when I was getting jealous of my own best freind , he was buzy standing up for us. I realize how wrong I had been the eniter time but what could I do now...
The funny thing was ,that even to this day I never realized that it had all been my fault. The few things that I failed to see during those times is what caused the darkness in my friend's life in present day. Fate and Love , the 2 things that are completely out of our hands as fate is the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power and love is an emotion felt by the heart without our consent. My fate got decided that day when I was going back to my bus along with James , Harold , Kenny. That is the day when I first saw her, and..... lets just say she had me clean bowled. Enter Bella , the girl that swept right into my heart.....
