Techna- The Bane of Technology

It's a blessing to have friends who criticizes you on your wrong doings and also never judges you on your mistakes.

Friends like these are hard to find, if you have one keep them forever.

Rain had the worst back pain ever.

Her body started aching after both Olivia and Crystal tackled her down on the floor. Olivia held her arms and Crystal literally sat down on her back.

Rain tried to remove herself from their grasp, but failed miserably. Her face was flushed red, facing the floor.

Anymore time now, see would be moping the floor with her tongue. This mere thought made her shudder.

There was no way to escape. Dang it!

"I surrender" Rain said dramatically.

"You bitch" Crystal caught hold of her hand, which she was trying to move.

"For God's sake! What have you done Rain!" Olivia screamed in frustration.

"Jeez guys, get off me and I'll explain you." Rain tried to bargain.

"No, we know you so well. You'll outsmart us." Crystal said gripping her wrist.

"I'm outnumbered, can't you see." Rain rolled her eyes.

"Rain!" they both screamed in unison.

"Forgive me mother-hens. I'm an innocent child invented in the era of technology.... My father 'speed' left my mother 'internet', so please excuse me as my server is down." Rain said innocently making the girls groan in frustration.

They remove their grip on her, slowly. She smirks and gets up.

"Not so quick, Techna- The bane of technology" Crystal remarks, which makes Rain to give her a nasty scowl.

"Hey..." Rain chirps.

"Stop it! Both of you. Now!" Olivia commands both of them.

"Just deal with her Olivia... I can't take this lightly!" Crystal paces around in the room. She felt so suffocated and so nervous about the mere thought of facing her dreadful past.

"Rain! Please tell us what have you done?" Olivia looks at Rain, with a 'don't you dare lie look'.

Rain shifts her feet nervously, "Well, you see I have been keeping tabs on the boys since the last year."

"You don't mean the billionaire squad, right?" Crystal asked, feeling uneasy at the thought of getting involved with them. Again

"Yes... But before you guys charge on me. I have valid reasons for it. You have to trust my judgement on this one." Rain raises her hand in defend. This move was much needed and she knew! It was time to show her cards to the boys and get an upper hand at winning.

"How could you do this to us?" Olivia was very disappointed. Never did she think, a day would come where Rain would take such a big step, without informing her. Especially when she is totally involved in it.

"Olivia, I..."

"No wait! Rain, I just cannot believe you will hide such an important fact! You know we made a vow seven years back." Olivia was really frustrated now. She could not believe Rain's audacity to act so recklessly.

"Rain, you really shouldn't act on your own. The consequences of your actions will be suffered by us. We just cannot let them in, after that incident! Aarggh!" Crystal practically screams.
