Myra's POV:

Two weeks. That's how long its been since the day the rumors spread. People have distributed more flyers and put up even more posters.

I told the girl's the truth that I didn't sleep with Ruhaan, I really didn't, it's just a big cheap lie he made up to grow his popularity and  reputation and thankfully they believed me.

We have stayed away from the boys, avoiding any contact with them. Today is a saturday and we're having a movie night.

We chose to watch The Fault In Our Stars first. It really is a beautiful yet a tragic love story. That is true love. Not what we have today in the generation of gadgets, technology and social media.

Nia and Amelie fell asleep around the part where Hazel Grace, was giving Augustus's euology. As they snoozed, Nat and I cried our eyes out at his funeral and at the end when she reads his letter and her euology that he has written.

Nat too fell asleep half way through Mean Girls leaving me gobbling my chocolate chip ice cream down my throat. As I was trying to reach for the remote, I heard a knock on the door.

Not knowing who it was, I opened the door ajar to reveal Ruhaan standing in front of me, "wha-t are-" his warm hands muffled my voice, covering my lips.

He pushed me into the dorm against a wall and closed the door behind him. I struggled in his hold, trying to break free. He held me in place, "quit it will you" he whispered in pain as I bit his palm, making sure no one was awake.

He removed his palm, and taking a breath, I was about to call for help, when he put his hand back in place and spoke up, "don't you dare. Otherwise, trust me, I'll make sure the rumors turn out true" my eyes widened as he let go of me.

I gulped as he looked deep into my eyes, "you weren't listening to what I was trying to say, so this is the only way I could think of to try and explain everything to you. Look, I don't have a lot of time, so read it" he motioned to his phone, pressing a button and gestured me to look at my phone which was on the bed.

I turned to it and saw the screen light up with a notification, I turned back to where he had been standing, but he was no longer there and the door was closed.

I picked my phone up and saw that I had a text from an unknown number. I clicked on the notification and it opened in messages,

Mira,  I don't know how to begin this.. I really don't, but all I want to say is that I'm sorry. For all the humilation, mockery and gossip I have brought upon you. I'm guilty and you can punish me if you like, I won't speak a word. It wasn't me who spread the rumors Mira. You need to know the truth and the truth is that it slipped out of Abhi's mouth
that night, that you were with me. I had to tell him because I needed help to take you somewhere since if I hadn't we'd both get in trouble. Abhi drove us there and he knew the truth of what happened. He had a drink and instead of sleeping there, he came back to the dormitory. When Principal Smith asked about me, he accidentally said you were with me. Someone overheard their conversation and spread the rumors. It was all a misfortunate accident. I'm really sorry. If it helps you to forgive me, I'm going to answer the question you had asked me that morning, "who am I?" you had asked. Well, I'm someone who had known you since the day you were born. We go way back Mira. Try to remember. How could you? You were only 4. I'm your childhood best friend. Probably your first crush or love. That's how close we were. Your mother and mine went to school together. They were the closest friends. But unfortunately they had to part ways, and so did we. You may have forgotten who Ruhaan Kishan Oberoi is over the years, but my dear Mira, I have never been able to forget you, and never will. I was once your Kishan, and you, my Mira. But as the original love story, ours will meet the same end. I can't becone yours. Hopefully, that answers your question. I can't see hatred for me in your eyes, the same eyes that once showed love. I don't want love Mira, because I can't.. I don't do love. I hope you understand and let's just keep it at that. I'll give you whatever you want, just forgive me..
-Ruhaan

Clutching my phone tightly to my test, I fell to the ground and rested my head on the side of the bed as memories flooded my mind.

Flashback:
"Mumma, what's a prince?"

"A prince?" Mumma repeated, "well, I married a prince who then turned into a king. A prince doesn't need to be perfect or the most handsome Myra, he just needs to have a heart which contains love just for my little princess."

"Do you think Kishan is my prince mumma?" the little girl asked.

"Myra, Kishan has always been Radha's. It's always been Radha-Kishan, not Mira-Kishan," she smiled patting the little girls hair as she lay in bed.

"Does that mean he'll never be my prince?"

"He is your prince Mira, he just needs to know that."

"Who's Radha?"

"She's Lord Kishan's love" she replied to the curious girls question, "and Mira?"

"Mira is a girl who worshipped Kishan. She loved him, she waited for him. But she never got him sweetheart."

"I will love Kishan mumma, I will wait for him and he will be mine in the end. But I don't like Radha" and mumma laughed as the little girl huffed in annoyances.

Flashback ends.

Yup, for the first time, Kishan will be Mira's, not Radha's.

Oops. I've said too much.
