Too Close To Perfection

Chapter 1

Let me start from the beginning. The day I moved in next to Karthi was magical. I may have only been 5, but I knew that there was a connection between us. So it was basically "love" at first sight.

We played together a lot and in primary 4, we were in the same class.

Happiness? Yeah, I guess so.

Two years later, his friends came up to me and asked me if I liked him. I said "yeah as a friend". Then they said that he didn't even like me as a friend. I brushed off their comment, as I thought it wasn't true. I had his email and one day when I got super angry, I accidentally sent him an email - in which I damned him. I felt so bad and asked my friend, who was also his friend, to ask him if he received the email.

When I heard that he blocked my address, I was furious. Basically I went into the six degrees of separation. I tried my best to focus on my PSLE, and I did super well. I got into RGS (Raffles GIRLS' School).

No more boy drama!

At least in school. because we were NEIGHBOURS. He waited for me everyday at the MRT station. My friends just thought he was my brother or something and didn't say anything else.

But one day, when I was playing Truth or Dare with my friends, they asked me if I had a crush on Karthi. I denied having one. I never told anyone about him, let alone about my family.

My parents died in a car accident when I was seven. My anna (elder brother) rarely came home before 2 in the morning, so I never got to see him. I joined Cross Country CCA (Co-Curricular Activity) in RGS just to stay in school extra long. I was always alone at home and after 5 years of that, I was sick of it.

The next four years in my life were amazing. I enjoyed myself so much that I almost forgot about him.

Who am I kidding?

I never forgot about that day in P6 when he said in front of all his friends AND my friends that he didn't like me. I was heartbroken.

But I'm not going to lie, I excelled in my studies and CCA. I became the Head of the Indian Cultural Society and I had PLENTY of friends. They were such a joy and I could tell them anything.

Except my family and Karthi.

Now, in my first year of RJC (Raffles' Junior College), or Year 5, I have to see Karthi AND Aadithya (Long story short, he wanted to have sex with me at 12) EVERYDAY. But, along with them, Arun, Hema and Sanjana, I have a group of tight friends. We were inseparable, the 6 of us, and Sanjana and Aadithya became a couple.That shocked all of us as they hated each other in Primary School.

So, that's my 'painful' backstory. I am currently in Cross Country and Indian Cultural Society. I have friends and I'm not a loser. My life is fine, but just ONE person can ruin all of that.

Karthi is the only friend whom I have talked about my parents to. He is the only person who knows what I feel behind my friendly image. A cold, dark, mysterious past that lies there like a closed book. He is the only one that know what that book is about. But not all of it...

I still liked Karthi. 12 years after I developed a crush on him, I still hadn't told ANYONE.

But I knew my secret would be out soon.

WHY does he have to be perfect??!!
