*Olivia's POV*

"So, you had a little car concert too, huh?"

Sophia was finally telling me what happened that evening. We were back at my house and she was helping me with literally everything. Chris had brought her belongings which was ahem, quite helpful of him. After multiple goodbyes, the boys had finally left and here I was, listening to the 'Sophia & Chris' moments.

"Yeah, it was great! It had been a while since I had the kind of fun where I can be carefree, break rules, use the pepper spray that I think expired long time back."

I laughed at that.

"But, I still think he doesn't like me that way."

I sighed, "That's the fifth time you've said that. Don't worry."

She looked up at me with innocent eyes, as if to say the words 'Help Me'.

"Why don't you just go up to him and confess?" I suggested.

Those innocent eyes turned wide as she stood up from the chair and dramatically shouted, "That's such a stupid suggestion, Miss Practical. The world doesn't work that way! You can't just go up to a guy and be like "You know what? I love you" And he'll be like "I love you too" and then there will be a happily ever after!"

Her breathing was heavy. But was I going to keep mum? Huh, you wish.

"If you don't say anything then there's 100% possibility that Chris won't say anything because he isn't someone who's extremely comfortable with admitting his feelings. No one is! And if you both keep playing this game, I bet there will be a day when you both get old and one of you will realize 'Oh I guess I should tell her/him'. But twist in the story? One of you will die of a freaking heart attack because you couldn't contain the happiness! And the other one will probably die of depression. And then when you will reach heaven, thinking about your life, you will remember this Miss Practical's words!"

There was absolute silence for a few seconds. But after that was our 'Hysteric Laugh' session.

"Your imagination is getting weirder day by day!" Sophia said, laughing.

"But you got the point right?" I asked, wiping up my tears.

She nodded. "But you see, Chris is probably the most egoistic person I've ever met. He hasn't shown his 'ego' yet but once I stop initiating those conversations and stop forgiving him even when he doesn't even a mutter a 'sorry', that's when his ego steps in. You aren't talking to me? Great, I don't give a flying chicken."

"Sophia? Flying chicken? I know you don't swear but that was extremely dumb yet funny."

"Whatever! And also, there's a thing called ignoring and he has won an oscar in it. You understood what kind of a guy he is, right?" She asked, plonking onto the bean bag now.

"Hmm, but I guess your love story will break the stereotype of 'a guy should always propose the girl', yeah?" I asked with a hint of uncertainty in my voice.

She didn't answer.

"Look, if he's egoistic, then I don't think he's the one for you. You should have thought twice befor falling in love with him." I said, laughing.

She smiled, "Falling in love is never planned Miss Practical, it just happens."

I sighed, "You're completely screwed Nutso."

Don't worry best friend, this is where 'the boys' are going to help us.

"You guys knew?!" I asked.
