NO CRAP..JUST ENJOY READING ! 

Daniel -

" Anything started with a lie , is itself a lie." I knew Maria believed this quote. I somehow knew how she thinks and acts to certain situations and also some of her beliefs.

I now had a soft corner for her and no matter what I can't loose her specially if she is so special to me.  I can't hurt her . I will tell her the truth tomorrow .

All these thoughts dint let me sleep properly and the fact that I was way too hungry to think more or sleep more.

I rushed to the kitchen and filled by stomach with a banana , apple and a glass of milk.

I came back to my room and took a look at the watch. It was 4:30 ; still an hour and a half to sleep. But I decided to text Maria first.

So Picked up my phone and saw one unread message -

It was from Maria - *Take  care Daniel * . 

I replied her back - * hey . . I am sorry for the rudeness I showed yesterday . Please forgive me.  *

I felt a little calm after replying. I don't know how but I dozed off again. This time I slept deep and comfortable.

Next day when I went to pick Maria, I honked and waited for 5 mins but she dint show up. I went and rang the doorbell to find through her mom that she had left with her friend Nat.

I knew she was hurt and yess, she was stubborn . I'll Have to make up for avoiding her for the past 2 days.

I saw Maria sitting alone and writing something . I assumed home work . I rushed towards her... " hey Maria " . But instead of replying I got a half hearted smile and she just walked off.

I rushed towards her and shouted - " Maria Maria stop . " But she didn't bother looking back . I shouted again - " Maria , if you consider me a friend then please stop " . 

She did stop but handed my a note when I asked her for apology .

*Hey Daniel ,

               I know that their is something that you have been hiding and I could see that in your eyes. I don't want you to lie to me , or act or fake . So its better you take your time and then tell me what's wrong rather than lieying. I hope you know I am there for you . Take care.

-Maria  * 

I read the note and that's when I knew she understood me and did care about me.

I decided to tell her during lunch cause that's when I will be seeing her today as our classes before lunch were different. And telling her during classes means telling the whole class and indirectly the whole school . As a matter of fact we have eves-droppers Everywhere.

MAIRA - 

I passed my first four classes literally day dreaming inspire of being poked by Nat twice in both the classes we shared as I was so lost and luckily , she didn't crib but gave me time.I was also spotted by a teacher in one of the lectures. And in the fourth class I escaped giving a medical reason as I felt sick being lost and so helpless and clueless .

I was in the canteen when I realised that this place wasn't empty anymore an people where turning up. I stood up to meet my friends seeing them entering the canteen . Suddenly I felt a tight hand around my wrist pulling me towards the back exit of canteen.

I dint see his face but the hair colour , height and built clearly said it was him. It was Daniel.

I asked him what happened . I tried to pull my hand but all in vain.

He Pulled me towards the school practice ground which was at the back of school and only practices of big matches took place there.

He left my hand. And held my shoulders and looked at me in my eyes. I could feel the.chills down my spine. 

He started in a tone which said early he was nervous and at the same time trying to say it all out - " Maria , I know its not been long we met , but I care out you. From the day I saw you at the party , there is.something about you that's  been attracting me towards you. But this lie or rather this unsaid truth is something which brings me to reality everytime . I think of you. "

I started to feel nervous and curious at the same time. My inner intuition said that may be I didn't wish to hear this.

He told me that -  " when hi was in the old town , I used to be one of the member of the schools popular group. And had all the attention of girls and guys. I was well known and also a captain of school volleyball team."

There was one girl in our group , I was pretty close to , she always had my eyes and ears to her. She said she loved me and with the passage of time , I started to like her.

On her birthday, I surprised her with a party as she was not able to throw one , she proposed to me infont  of the school at her party . 

I hugged her and said a yes to her. I cared about her and that moment I thought she meant it. But who knew what was Coming up next .

Next morning I decided to pick her up from her house. But on reaching I saw her driving of with some guy. I guessed. It must be one of our group guy only , as she came with anyone of our group people only. 

I reached the school 10minutes late as I brought flowers for her. 

I parked my car , she was standing.e t to a guy whom I had never seen earlier. His hand was one her waste or a little lower than that actually. I went towards her and gave her the flowers. 

She took them and thanked me with a smile but then she spoke- " Daniel , meet this guy 'Evan' . . He is my boyfriend from past 1 month and he moved to our school this week . He is my neighbour " . I asked her wa happened last night was what then. The simply said that we are really good friends and its better that way. What happened yesterday was A bet and I should forget all about it as a nightmare. "

.

.

.

.

" That day I was heart broken. I gv her my heart and she was the first girl I was bead over heals and it was A dare,I should forget all about it like a nightmare. But how ? "

I had tears listening to this. At this age,a guy loved a girl to do this in return. I felt like breaking that bitches face that moment.

I hugged Daniel tightly . And told him I was sorry for what happened .

He said that his dad's transfer was just a cherry on top and he being known person had lost the courage to face the people. Everyone has sympathy for him or made fun which was intolerable for him then.

.

.

.

And he lost the repect for popular group

Of the school that day when he realised that they are just your buddies for fun not true friends cause that day he was alone and no one came up to him. He lost the respect and decided to give a new start. And leave the past behind. 

He said his good byes before coming though because he didnt wished to be called a loser for running away. And so that he is not stuck in that past forever.

This new school actually was something he loved and was enjoying.

We sat there in peace and silence for a while and I  rubbed his hands. I somehow felt that he did have the strenght to face what happened . Then we Heard the bell and rushed back for classes.

I felt better. I knew he was a perfect guy anyone would love to have . He could have not told me about what happened and let go of it but he didn't , he shared it with me , he trusted me and yes ! Mom was right, he was actually a keeper. 

Oh gosh ! I actually thought of that . . We are just friends right ? 

Or close friends cause you don't tell your friends your deep dark secrets.
