Soulmate

Chapter 4

Janet's P.O.V

The sky was darkening in every hour. Usually it doesn't rain with thunder, but it was definitely about to. The large, tall trees of our campus were bending on each other. As if, trying to get mixed and create more complicacy for me.

Just like my life.

"Janet where are you staring at?" I was brought back to reality by a sudden voice.

I looked around, everyone was staring at me, including Shane. Considering the fact that he was sitting right beside me, it wasn't something shocking.

I timidly looked down after uttering a small "sorry".  Mr Andrew, our maths teacher sighed and asked me to sit down, not before warning me that if I didn't pay attention again then I would get a detention.

I sat down quietly, "Jan!'' I looked up again to see Shane's melancholy chocolate gazes eyeing me intently.

"You okay?'' he asked curiosity was visible in his voice. I nodded my head ,keeping my hazel eyes locked with his for a millisecond and turned it away.  I still got nervous around him. and now that I was having hopes of something I never had before with him. Sure it came in my fantasy dreams or day dreams but never in real life until now. I definitely had the right to feel nervous.

Flashback

I was about to go when someone grabbed my hand. It was Shane, he looked at me and spoke " please Jan tell me what you were telling and who told you that? It must be a misunderstanding." 

I didn't wanted to tell but my heart was telling me something else. It was true Damien had prohibited me from telling him anything, but there are somethings in life  which you don't think and do, that's what I did. Definitely skipping the part that Damien was the who told me this. I would definitely not like to cause fight between two best friends, considering the fact that I had none.

"Jan, whatever you are hearing are clearly wrong. Who told you that?"  Shane asked me, his expression was full of bewilderness, shock and disappointment.

"I am sorry Shane, but I can not tell you the name. I promised the person."  Shane eyed me suspiciously probably trying to read my mind. But due to my  straight face, he could not.

He shrugged in an exhausted manner and he looked at me with tired eyes.

"Jan, after you heard these things about me, why didn't you verify for once? You believed all the shits that person said without even getting any proof?"

I was dumbstruck, its true I didn't verify for once not even from a single person after hearing it from Damien. Damien and I studied together since 6th grade. I did not noticed him until 7th grade when he became the best friend of Shane. But after coming to know him I felt like this was a guy whom I could trust. He could be a friend of me.

Hence, when he informed me I didn't took a second thought on the facts that he gave me.Firstly because I thought I could trust him and secondly because he was Shane's best friend not any enemy.

But now when I think about it, it was a total unfair done to Shane as I should have given him a chance to speak. But if, Shane was right then why would Damien lie to me?

He never lied to me, instead he used to tell me all his secrets. So what could be the reason?

Present time..

Without thinking about doubting Damien I cleared off my thoughts.  I tried not to get lost in my chain of thoughts. I just did not knew whom to trust anymore. If I had to think Damien was the honest one, then it would be unfair to Shane as I had got no proof. It would be the exact same if I try to think Shane was the truthful one.
