After good sleep of 3 hours, I boarded off of the train.
Arsh asked if I wanted him to drive me home but I declined.
Because I didn't know the address. I really enjoyed his company, he didn't let me think about Hashir.
There you go.
Nevermind.
Anyhow, I saw Tabrez standing a few feet away from me with a face that screamed where the hell is this bitch !
I walked up to him and patted his arm, he turned his face to look at me.
"Where have you been! I've been here for 30 freaking minutes. I wanted to sleep but because of you I couldn't."
Great, I've only stepped in Lahore and people have already started blaming me.
"Now that I'm here. Can we go?" I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yes, we can. Let's get home as soon as we can. Because I want to sleep." I followed him to his car.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
"C'mon." He said as he hoped out of the car to take out my luggage.
As I stepped out of the car, all eyes turned to me. Every single boy on the street was staring at me now. I didn't lower my head but didn't eye them either. I carefully glanced at my surroundings.
You'll be living here for next 5 years.
But this wasn't home.
Home was where Hashir was.
You didn't need to remind me about him. You know ?
My brain didn't reply me back.
Some guys were talking in groups, some where On theirs phones.
A few where playing Cricket.
At least, they still played Cricket regardless of their ages.
Back in my town, the Cricket playing tradition had long gone. As if the boys in our town didn't know what Cricket was.
That was the sadest of thing. I still remembered when we used to play Cricket.
"I'm going to team up with Hashir." Me and Ali said simultaneously. Then narrowed our eyes at each other.
"I want to be in your team Hashir." Danial popped into our conversation.
Then we started arguing.
"Stop! Stop. Okay no one is going to be in my team. I'm going to be in one team and you three are in other. Get it?" We all groaned.
"I am going to bat. Hareem and Danial stand there for Fielding and Ali you're going to ball." We did as he instructed us.
Aliyan threw the ball, It came in contact with the bat and he hit it. The ball came flying to me.
"C'mon Hareem. You'll catch it. C'mon." I told myself but nevertheless. When the ball came to me I flinched and didn't catch it.
Instead the ball, Flew above the wall and Hashir yelled.
"Sixer!"
"What the hell Harry. For how many years we have been playing and you haven't learnt to catch a ball." Aliyan sighed.
But I knew Danial was ready to hit me as soon as the bat comes in his hands.
It was my turn to bat and guess who was going to ball.
Danial.
Because we decided we won't play in teams.
Danial threw the ball, it looked like he wanted to hit me hard with the ball because it was that fast. I again flinched but much to my luck, the ball didn't hit the Wicket. It hit my bat slightly and went at least two feet away.
Yay! At least I wasn't out.
"What it is. Stop being Harsh over her. It could've hit her." Yep, it was Hashir.
At that time, Me and Danial couldn't stand each other for a minute. But yeah. Time changed and our relation also.
"Give me the ball. I'll service." Danial groaned but gave the ball to Hashir.
Hashir stood in front of a few meters away and threw the ball gently.
Hashir was always gentle and careful when it came to me. Even if it was the most simple game to cricket.
I hit the ball and it was!!
Okay, that was not a Sixer. That was a Four.
Thank goodness it was Four because if it had been a six then Danial and Aliyan were ready to catch the ball.
"HARRY!" I flinched and glared at him.
"What the!"
"You know I've been calling you for ages. And why are just standing there. Forget how to walk." I snorted and started walking with Tabi behind me.
Something caught my eye. When everyone was busy playing, talking or on their phones. There was guy sitting at the staircase of front door of a house, Reading.
I looked at him with my eyes slightly twitched to see what he was reading.
"This way." Tabrez led me to the house next to where the boy was sitting.
As I reached near I looked at book. He was reading 'paper towns'.
Suddenly, I had the urge to find out if I brought the book with me!
I was about to turn my gaze away when I saw he was already staring me.
The guy seemed 3 to 4 years older than me. Maybe, 23 or 25. I turned my attention away and went inside the house.
Where I was attacked with a bone crashing hug from Sarah.
"Hareem!" She stretched my name so long I was afraid she was about to break Zayn's record from You and I.
After meeting everyone, I was given my room. But that was not my room. I shared it with Sarah and that was not home.

New entry ?????
Hehehehehe. Here comes Farhan Saeed as Arsal Jamshed.
*Comes casually and sits down while reading Paper towns*
Me: you know, you were not supposed to read it in the author note. It was just a scene in the chapter.
Arsal: Really? Thank God. I did not like reading either. I wonder why you painted me as nerd.
Hareem: hey! Reading is pretty cool. I don't know why you brought him in the book.
Hashir: I agree with you. He's not the hero material either.
Me: hey! How did you come here. You weren't supposed to.
Hashir: if she keeps Getting Flashbacks about me, I'll keep coming. *Crosses arm and leans into the seat leisurely*
Hareem: I hate you, you know.
Hashir: awww that's why you keep thinking about me.
Hareem: never mind.
Tell me your thoughts.
Hashir: and tell me how much you love me and you don't want Arsal here.
Let's protest with me.
*Shouts* We don't want Arsal!
*No one joins him bc everyone is too interested to see what happens next*
See ya !
