By his side

Chapter :4

Mia's P.O.V

It feels so good to be in a park, sitting on a swing, feeling the cold breeze hitting my face, enjoying with friends, and looking at the beautiful view around me.

This is what I need to keep my mind away from thinking about him. It annoys me so much to feel connected to a complete stranger who I have never met nor seen. I don't even know his name. I don't know why, but I believe him even though I know he can be lying about his age or anything. I still believe him.

How can I be so free to a person who I just talk to online? So what if his account is verified? That doesn't mean he is an amazing person and not a douche. I try to convince myself with this every day. My mind almost gives in but my stupid heart is too stubborn to listen and understand.

Ugh stupid me I am thinking about it again....anyways

It was 4:00 in the evening and all of us decided to hang out in this park. After our classes ended, we went to our houses to keep our bags, freshen up, and hang out at this abandoned but beautiful park as we had no homework today. Eva picked me up from my place since I had no idea where this park is. However, now that I know, I can come here often as it is very close to my place.

I wonder why nobody comes here. I mean this is such a beautiful and soothing place.

I was enjoying the silence around me until I heard a very loud noise coming from the slide.

Aaron was trying to climb up the slide, and Daniel was sliding. Both came and stopped in middle arguing about who came first and who should back off

"Morons."

"What are they? Five?"

"Idiots."

"Way to ruin the silence."

Bibs, Ashley, Eva, and I said at the same time and all of us burst out laughing loudly. The sound of our laughter caught the attention of those two idiots who came running to us.

"What's so funny? We want to laugh too." Aaron said in a baby voice which proved that he was a five-year-old child with the body of an eighteen-year-old guy.

"You both! That's what's funny." Ashley said, shaking her head.

"Haha sure. Anyways, let's do something fun." Both the boys said in unison.

"And what do you think we should be doing as 'fun'?" Bibs asked mocking them.

"Truth or Dare?" Daniel suggested.

After three people saying yes, two of them whining and complaining, and the rest just shrugging, we finally decided to play it.

I was the one saying yes as well. It's a fun game to be honest, unless some evil dare or some stupid question comes your way.

All of us sat in a circle on the soft green lawn. Surprisingly, Daniel was sitting on my right side. Yeah, I was surprised because both of us never really talked. I know that it's only the second day, but I got along with everyone as if we knew each other for ages, but Daniel didn't talk with me much like others. He always kept staring at me with cold eyes.

As we didn't have a bottle to spin we were using the number technique that Ashley knew. None of us quite understood the sense behind the technique, but we just kept on playing. I should say the game was more of a truth game instead of truth or dare. There was not much to do as a dare as only six of us were present in the park, so we decided on just playing the truth.

"So I used to like this guy in my junior year and one day, I was so busy ogling him while he was playing football that I didn't see the ball coming my way and it hit me hard straight on the face. Due to the speed of the ball, I lost my balance and landed straight on my butt. The horrible part was that the guy I liked came to me, just took the ball, and went off but not before laughing at me." Eva told us her embarrassing story as she was asked to tell one.
