STORY OF A SHORT GIRL.

Goodbye.

It was the wedding party. Everyone was sharing love and compassion for the couple. Blessings and more blessings filled the room. Just then Clara came and stood right in front of me. "What is it Clara?" I said and looked right into her eyes.

"I thought I'll never tell you this. But, now that I am going to,  it's not the right time. I'll tell you tonight. I promise." she said and went off. What is it? What is so controversial that makes her so uneasy around me?

"What are you thinking about?" he said. I just ignored his question. He doesn't exists for me anymore.

"Veronica, I am talking to you... What's wrong?" he said again.

"Ver-"

"My problems are none of your business. You can go and talk to someone else. " I said and was going to walk away when he held my arms.

"Kevin, leave me." I said and tears starting bobbling up in my eyes.

"What did I do? " he asked.

"Let's not create a seen here. We will talk later." I said and went to see Nathan and Jess.

----------------------------------------------------------
The night that followed.

I am standing in the terrace waiting for Clara. She told me she will meet me here. Where is she?  Just then I heard the terrace gate open. I saw her and waved. She came towards me with red eyes and swollen face.

"hey what wro-"

"listen, I don't know if you will ever forgive me and Mike." she said.

"What are you talking about? " I asked totally confused.

"See, I know your past with Mike haven't been a great one. I don't know,  if you will forgive me for this but, remember the time when Mike and his friends used to bully you and I was never there with you in the cafeteria during lunch time. I used to be with Mike. "

"What do you mean you used to be with him? "

"I was dating him." she said and I was on edge of breaking down.

"What? You dated Mike? " I said taking a step back.

"Yes, I am so sorry Veronica. I have been really pissed with you these days because...I know what's going on between you and Mike. You guys like each other, I know. Seeing you both I was so jealous of you." she said and I was so hurt. Not because she was dating him but because she never told me about it.

"Why didn't you tell me? " I asked.

"Because he was your bully! How could I tell you! " she said and started crying. I absorbed everything, but I was so mad, So pissed and so hurt.

"You never believed me did you?  And what did you think of?  Dating my bully? Good . I can't even believe you did this with me. Best part you know?  You never told me. I would have been friends with him or at least tried. "

"That's what I never wanted. I never wanted you guys to be friends and that's the reason why I was overreacting when you were his partner. I always knew the reason he builled you. "

"Everyone knows it. "

"No it wasn't your height okay?" she said and I was shocked what was the reason then? She told me everything from Mike and me meeting in the corridor to me and Alex to the present day. I was hurt. No body asked me what I thought, what I liked. They just think of me as something or someone and treat me like this. This isn't fair. Mike lied to me, Clara lied to me,  Jennifer and Sia knew about it...and Kevin? He murdered my grandfather. Yes! out of all people,Kevin. I want so many answers from all of them. Why me? This should have been the happiest day of my life and I am here shedding tears. I started walking towards the gate when I met Mike.

"Oh hey Veronica." he said and I pushed him away.

"Don't ever talk to me Mike." I said and ran down. I reached my room and locked it up. I started crying. The tears were burning my cheeks. Just then I had a knock on the door. I opened it and saw the one person I wasn't willing to see anytime soon. Kevin.

"Veronica...oh my God, why are you crying?" he said and held my arms. I pushed his arms away.
"Go away Kevin. All I did was to trust you. You broke it all apart. I hate you. I fucking hate you. "

"What did I do to deserve your hatred?" he said with a tone so hard that my heart was breaking by the sound of it.

"You are a part of red sparks and you killed my grandfather. Didn't you? "

"What the hell are you talking about?"  he said and looked away.

"You. Killed. My. Grandfather."

"Okay I agree,  I am a part of the mafia gang. But,  I didn't kill your grandfather. What was his name?"

"He worked at your rivals gang. The white elephant. His name was cooper Parker." just then his jaw dropped. His eyes filled with regret and something I didn't really get. I understood. He killed him. Tears were streaming down my face non stop.

"Veronica... I didn't kill him.. But I knew he was killed by one of our members. I never knew he was your grandfather. If I would you know I would have made it stop."

"Just go away Kevin. Just go. I don't want to see anyone of you." I screamed and pushed him out of my room and locked the door.

2 days later.

I was back home. Granny was very concern about my sudden change in behavior and our whole friends circle being distant. I didn't tell her the truth. I told no body. I was too heart broken to break anyone's heart. Plus,  my sister just got married to Kevin's brother. Her life would then be disastrous if she gets to know the truth. I was sitting with my laptop. Trying to reply to all these mails. Ugh. I have to write many articles and I am so sleepy. I was going to get some coffee but as I stood up I saw this mail pop up. I opened the mail and it was from our principal. Fuck. What did I do?
