An Untold Tale From High School

two different ends

Summer was over and they were each moving on-their lives were on separate tracks.

Both Jason and Amy were selected for the scholarship to India for their further studies and so they set out on their next venture.

"I come to think of it now...if I am ever to let go of him, I would easily be able to let go, and the reason being I have never had the strong feelings for him. I might never get someone who likes me more than he did or someone who had a crush on me or at least that is what I believed."

School days were very beautiful because of him too. She anticipated seeing every new sunrise, get herself ready for the school just in case she might bump into him today. There were times when she thought of them being together when she dreamed of them holding hands and listening to the same, old songs again and over again. But those feelings were only for fleeting moments. She tried loving him, giving every reason possible to make her heart flutter yet those reasons failed at times to make her heart flutter as it used to.

"I come to think of it and I realize it that he was that part of my past I wanted to correct, a mistake I thought I would regret for the rest of my life. I thought I had lost someone special, whose place in my heart is such that it can't be replaced by anyone other than by himself. So I started calling him back in the theatre of my life, but only to realize that he had already moved on with his life...he was okay with me away, he was fine all along and it was just me and my feelings of regret, always repenting that I have lost someone close to my heart.

"Was I supposed to beg for an apology for not giving his answers and ask him to return in my life? Was I suppose to ask him to like me again? Well, do I have the right to do it? Do I have the courage to do it? What do you think?" she was so much tangled up in her own web of thoughts.

Well, she didn't say she was sorry but tried every way possible to make him believe she was really sorry.

Then they started over again with Amy and him back in the drawing board. But this time the friendliness with which they used to once chat was lost, messages would turn monotonous and mundane, they didn't know what to speak about next and so often would just ask about the long day they had and the conversations becoming shorter with every passing second, the same feeling was not there.

Once in the blue moon, they chatted and even when they did, the conversation never lasted that long. Maybe that's why people say sometimes that love after friendship is possible but friendship after love is... aha, not possible.

She realized that the train she had been waiting for was never meant to come her way. All along it was just her and her silly hopes of being one.

The person she dreamed of being in love with had a world that's completely different than her own. He was into video games and she tried to develop an interest in it but couldn't. She was not that techno type as one would say, she wasn't meant for all those. She liked being lost in nature and honestly had no idea of all the modern technologies. She loved getting lost in her own thoughts with a pen and a note in hand... that was all she needed to keep herself engrossed. Unlike him, she was boring and by this time, she had understood that they weren't made for each other.

He had already gotten over the feelings for her. Every strong feeling left alone will soon fade away; even the strongest ones... it sure does.

Well for her, she tried every day to dream of them hanging out together, even as friends. But the more she thought of it, she imagined them being apart from one another.

Yet she wanted to give it a chance, so even when she knew the stars could disappear any moment, she waited for its last faint glow and cherished it to leave imprints in her memory forever.

Amy completed her first year and was getting ready to leave home for her summer vacation while Jason waited for her arrival, "When are you going to be here Amy? I haven't got much time since my visa is due this month and I might have to leave before you arrive. I want to meet you at least once before we depart."
