I told Nisha and Roshni everything, and I also told them about Arnav,

"Aww! That's so sweet of him!", Roshni said, as Nisha beamed.

We walked to class, for the biology period, taught by our class teacher herself.. I couldn't help but think about Arnav, how comforting his words were, how much I felt the need to tell him stuff, and how happy I became after telling him about my sorrows, I brushed these thoughts away quickly and started paying attention in class.

The period soon ended, and the break begun, we 3 walked around the place after, and Arnav came up to Join us, Nisha was super happy, and the romantic couple linked arms as they walked with us.

Don't judge me, but I didn't like seeing them like that, I never liked it, as I said I find it age inappropriate, but today.. I felt like he didn't want to link arms with her either, he acted kind of fake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Before you go, a reminder, your monthlies begin on the day after tomorrow, class dismissed!",

We went down, and not much to say, but I went home after a chat with my group, I came home, Sid hadn't come yet, so I quickly prepared something for him to eat and sat down to study.

I got up almost 3 hours later and went out for a walk, a walk really helps me de-stress.

I again plugged on my ear plugs, and listened to some songs on full blast, some were slow, some made me want do dance, but they all were precious to me.

I walked along the same park, and the same memories came back flooding, I controlled my tears so much, I tried so hard not to let them fall, I wasn't weak, and no one was supposed to know how I felt, it's just how I am, only Nisha and Roshni know the real me! And I wasn't going to let more people in.

I honestly wished to see Arnav right then, I felt better talking to him, and I just wanted to see him right then, that moment..

Trinng trring

"Hello?",

"Arnav? It's me",

"Yeah I know, what's up?",

"Can I meet you?",

"Yeah, I guess.",

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here I was, again with Arnav, walking along the same park, talking to him about my parents, and there he was comforting me, more than anyone else ever has. I don't find myself eligible to put our conversation into words, because that's how amazing it was.

I was still talking to him, and about an hour had passed, when I suddenly got a phone call from my mother, I knew I was in trouble...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who were you with?",

"I don't want to talk to you",

"You're in 10th grade Alia! I would've expected some seriousness!",

"Well, the situations I'm in wasn't expected either, especially when I'm in 10th",

I was talking about the divorce, my mother eyed me, from head to toe,

"Go inside", she barely whispered,

I left, without even looking back, and my mother broke down, on her knees and weeped,
I know it makes me look like a bad person when I say I just walked away, but I didn't feel any sort of guilt, I felt so emotionless nowadays. Like I was void of emotions, the only time I actually let myself feel happy or sad, was in front of Arnav..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alia, please, you know it's not mom's fault", Sid said, as he sat down beside me

"I know", I replied in a monotonous voice,

"Would you want to live with your husband? If you realised he had an affair?",

You know, he's right..

Yes conscience, I know. He was right, to be honest, it wasn't my mom's fault, and I can't be treating her that way, God knows what she's going through

I went outside to see my mom on her knees, her head on her hands, she was sitting in front of the window.

I went closer to her, and just pulled her into a hug. She was surprised at first, but she pulled my collar, and just cried her eyes out on my t-shirt.. I kept patting her head, and I rubbed her back, but soon I broke down, and we both were crying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah, all is better",

"Good. Look, Lia, focus on your 10th okay?",

"Yeah, thanks Arnav",

"Anytime. Goodnight then",

"Goodnight",

I kept the phone and lay on my bed, I couldn't sleep at all, I just couldn't, I kept tossing and turning, and all that was in my mind was Arnav, I tried to shake his face off of my mind. But I couldn't, and then I realised it.

I had fallen for my bestie's boyfriend...
