I Wish I Could Tell You...

Chapter 3

It took me days to digest what I had heard. But then I thought that it is alright because now we have all grown and are matured enough. Gradually, Marshall managed to stop worrying about his mom. I was actually more curious about this whole 'Marshall-being-in-relationship' thing. This was because it was kind of new to me. Many days passed by and soon many of my friends were in relationship. It seemed as if God had sent all his cupids over here to make my friends fall in love!

Everything was great at first. Hanging out with all my friends in the evening and stuff like that. But now, my love struck friends even invited their girls to our usual hangout places. It was fun getting to know more people. But then it all went pretty much irritating. This was because, now, I was the only  guy who had escaped the cupid's arrow in our group. Let me tell you, this not at all made me desperate about being in a relationship. But instead, made me angry because now I was always left out of the group discussions or we can say I didn't wanted to be a part of those discussions anymore.

One night, I had invited my friends for a sleepover at my place. Obviously they weren't ready to come at first because they knew that I wasn't going to allow any girl to enter my house. It was tough convincing them but then I succeeded! They all came at my place at around 10:00 PM and then we had our dinner together. We rushed to the roof top to get some fresh air. Well that's what I told my parents. But actually we all needed to talk about things which were to be kept away from parents. Hahaha!!

We quickly selected our spots and lay down on the roof. First few minutes went by just staring at the sky.  No one was talking. It was a great starry night. The cool breeze was very refreshing! I had always dreamed of such a sleepover with my friends. But then, I started feeling sleepy and I thought that my friends were going to sleep soon too. So, to keep the atmosphere lively, I asked them all about their relationships.

Again, I wasn't desperate, I just knew that they could talk continuously on this one topic. But surprisingly, no one responded. At first, I thought, they were already asleep. But then, I could see some dim light, the back-light of their mobile phones. They were all chatting with their girlfriends! I am sure that there was a big smile on Marshall's face while chatting with Stella. I think that was because he was the latest victim of the deadly disease - Love. 

Yes, that is how I referred being in love, being a victim of a disease. I really hated all the lovey-dovey talks of these couples. It disgusted me! Love was just a waste of time for me and so I never ever thought neither of being in a relationship nor of falling in love. I know that love just happens, and you don't decide whether to fall in love or not. But who knew it then? 

It had been an hour or so since I had been lying down and all my friends were still chatting with their girls. I quickly got up and was just staring at them. Thinking about how much they had changed. I was sure enough that we would have a blast this night, only if these idiots had not fallen in love. I wanted to punch each one of them so hard right in their faces. I had planned everything for tonight but these guys had ruined everything.

But then, I thought, why waste time on these love struck jerks. I brought my laptop up on the roof and soon was online on Facebook. No one had even thought that this Facebook session would change my life...
