Solving mysteries

WHY HIM?!

~Siya's pov~

After the annual concert, in a few weeks time we found ourselves preparing for the farewell to our seniors. This farewell is  a yearly thing. All ninth graders prepare showcase a grand goodbye gesture to our seniors.

It includes all kinds of different things such as dancing, decorating, music, giving over exaggerated titles, playing games and all. No matter how bad I thought this would be, I was pretty excited for this once in a lifetime event.

Buuut I have no idea what to choose. There are daily meetings held by the coordinator ma'am and the supervisor ma'am to tell us what were the different committees and what  were the assigned jobs to each community. Anna was pretty sure of what committee to enter from the start, Nikki and I were a bit confused at first.

"Should we join the art committee?" Nikki asked me randomly when sitting in a Biology lecture. "I literally have no artistic talent and I think I'll be better suited in the dance committee." I said after thinking for a few seconds.

As soon as the class teacher left the class, Nikki stood up., made her way towards my side of the desk, snatched my bag from me and took out a folder filled with near perfection drawings out. Eyed me for a while and then HIT ME IN THE HEAD WITH THE FOLDER!

"Ow, what was that for?" I said, angrily rubbing the part which was now throbbing with pain. I swear if she wasn't my other best friend I would've killed her for all the damage she caused in the on my head. It's so much that after I die because of sugar overload at disney, the forensics will say "We don't identify this skull, this isn't human."

"Ow! Geez woman! You NEED to stop hitting me!" I half screamed as Nikki smirked at me.

"No artistic talent is causing this damage then what would artistic talent do?" She said, her eyes sparkling. "Okay Okay!"

As soon as I said this I regretted it. She  dragged me from my desk to the class teacher's desk to fill in the committee name and then to the art room.

I had started walking on my own till we reached the art room, which was way better than her dragging me everywhere and then I almost died of hatred overflow from what I saw next.

Anna was chatting with Sachin, Tarun and ROHIT! I made one of my special faces that I save for occasions like these. It was a mix of anger, confusion and total regret.

Nikki noticed the same thing and looked at me for my reaction and ended up wiper-laughing at my face.

I frowned as I looked at the human I called my best friend. Why would Anna do this to me? This is betrayal.Nikki got up from her very uncomfortable position on the ground  where she laughed her behind off.

"Do I really have to be here?" I said frowning more. "Teacher said you couldn't change your committee once you sign up for one." Nikki answered.

"Hey! You're here!" Anna said, smiling. "Hey, I see you're making new friends here." I said, side-glaring at Rohit.

"Hey, Jebby lean!" Tarun said, coming towards me for a high five and smiling. It was a wicked smile. He knew I couldn't reach that hand because of my small frame.

I jumped for the high five and turned around only to notice that my 2 best friends had abandoned me with Tarun and Sachin and sadly Rohit.

The first 2 days went in deciding the theme for the great send off party and  I had actually started enjoying Tarun and Sachins company.

The theme was decided as 'The Winter Homecoming.' and the colors in the theme were black, white and gold as decided by Anna as she was supposed to be the leader of our committee.

"I don't agree with this!" Sawyer, another art student who was in the committee said. "But we have submitted this idea to the principal, and she has approved of this. Where were you when we finalized this idea huh?" She said. We could feel her anger radiating from her.

No one ever had seen Anna angry to this extent and as much as it was fascinating it was also scary.

"We'll do our thing, you do yours let's see who's idea gets more appreciation." He said before storming off with his minions. He looked like the queen bee from every cliche book ever. Just in male version.

Once Anna had cooled down, she gave everyone their jobs for the day. I along with Kayla, her friend Sheela, Tarun, Sachin and Rohit was assigned to make the black and white festoons.

"You need to stop man." Tarun said, tears glistening his eyes from too much laughter. It has been half a day since we got our jobs and we're getting nowhere. Sachin won't stop cracking weird pervy jokes. As surprised as they were at me understanding everything pervy in the jokes, they looked like they were relieved to not be holding themselves back before they said something that offended the girl in the group.

I enjoyed my time with Sachin and Tarun, before Rohit joined in.
